Private car annual inspection requires the vehicle license, driver's license, duplicate copy of compulsory traffic insurance, warning triangle, and fire extinguisher. Below is relevant information: Content: Annual review, which means annual inspection but is more colloquial, refers to the annual or biennial safety inspection of vehicles, including comprehensive checks on horn, brakes, axle weight, chassis, ignition system, lighting system, exhaust system, license plate installation, etc. Process: After submitting the inspection application, the vehicle first undergoes online testing, where it is driven into the automatic detection area to sequentially check whether the exhaust, speed, lights, side slip, and chassis meet the standards. All items must pass to be approved.

I've been driving for over a decade, and handling annual inspections is as routine as eating. The required documents are simple but mustn't be overlooked: original ID card plus a copy to confirm ownership, original vehicle registration certificate with a copy to verify registration status, compulsory traffic insurance policy must be valid (bring a printed copy), and the original vehicle license to prove ownership. I recommend checking your vehicle's condition one week in advance – test headlight brightness, brake responsiveness, etc. – to avoid failing inspection and making extra trips. Booking an inspection slot saves time; fees typically range from 200 to 500 RMB (bring cash or cards). Annual inspections ensure safety by identifying issues in older vehicles, giving peace of mind on the road. Making this a regular habit also serves as a maintenance reminder, boosting driving confidence.

When I first owned a car, I knew little about annual inspections, but later learned that documentation is crucial. You need to bring the original ID card and its photocopy, a copy of the vehicle license, don't forget to print out the compulsory traffic insurance policy to prove its validity, and make sure the original vehicle registration certificate is complete. I once forgot the photocopies and had to find a place to print them on-site, which wasted half an hour, so it's safer to photocopy all materials in advance. Before the inspection, it's best to have the lights and emissions checked at a shop to avoid rework. The cost is over 200 yuan, so have your payment method ready. Annual inspections aren't complicated—careful preparation makes them easy to handle, and ensuring driving safety is what really matters.

Why is the refueling amount larger than the fuel tank capacity?

Car refueling amount is larger than the fuel tank capacity because there is a 5% difference between the rated capacity and the actual capacity of the fuel tank. For example, if the rated capacity is 95 liters, its actual capacity can reach at least 100 liters. It is understood that this error will be further amplified during the manufacturing process of the automobile factory. Most automobile manufacturers increase the "actual capacity" of the fuel tank by 7% or even 10% over the "rated capacity" to improve the safety factor of the car. The gasoline tank of a car is composed of components such as the filler pipe, filter, and filler extension pipe. In a full state, the actual refueling capacity consists of the gasoline in the tank, filler pipe, and filler extension pipe, while the fuel tank capacity marked on the car's factory manual specifically refers to the capacity of the tank itself, excluding the refueling capacity of the connecting pipeline between the tank and the filler port. Refueling precautions: It is wrong to refuel after the fuel tank alarm sounds. It is best not to wait for the fuel tank alarm to refuel. The car's fuel pump is located in the fuel tank. When the fuel tank alarm sounds, the fuel pump will be exposed in the fuel tank. Prolonged exposure in this state can damage the gasoline pump.

How to Use the Hill Start Assist on the X-Trail?

Below are the steps to use the hill start assist on the X-Trail: 1. When you want to stop on a slope, press the brake pedal all the way down. The brake light will illuminate (note: not the handbrake light). First, ensure that the triggering conditions are met, and then test whether the hill start assist function is activated. 2. Release the brake pedal. If you notice that the brake light remains on and the vehicle stays stationary on the slope, it indicates that the function has been triggered. Otherwise, the vehicle will roll backward. The following are the necessary conditions for using the hill start assist on the X-Trail: 1. The vehicle must be stationary. 2. The vehicle must detect a slope, with the gradient not less than 7%. 3. Fasten the seatbelt to prevent injury due to strong starting force. 4. Release the handbrake. 5.

Is it okay to leave the car outside on rainy days?

Leaving the car outside on rainy days has no impact on the internal components of the car, as the interior is waterproofed. However, rainwater can cause some damage to the car's paint, which can be avoided by rinsing the car body after the rain. Post-rain car care methods: Rainwater in urban areas has a lower pH value and may carry some sticky substances. When the rainwater evaporates, these sticky substances can adhere to the car and become difficult to remove. Therefore, car owners should take their vehicles to a 4S shop or a professional car detailing center as soon as possible after the rain for a thorough cleaning. It is also advisable to perform a paint treatment, with waxing being a simple and effective method. Hazards of prolonged exposure to rain: Prolonged exposure to rain can soften the car's paint. The car's paint is the most vulnerable part of the body, enduring damage from acid rain, oxides, ultraviolet rays, and other harmful elements, which can reduce the protective capability of the car's paint and lead to phenomena like roughness and spots on the paint surface.
