Starting from September 1, 2014, non-commercial passenger cars and other small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding vans and vehicles with 7 or more seats) are eligible for a 6-year inspection exemption policy. The so-called 6-year exemption means that from the year of purchase, the vehicle is exempt from on-site inspection for the first 5 years, but not the 6th year. From the 6th year onwards, annual on-site inspections are required. Therefore, a car purchased in 2015 can be exempt from inspection until 2019, and will require on-site inspection starting from 2020. Relevant information about vehicle annual inspection is as follows: 1. Introduction: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates, equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle according to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety". 2. Purpose: Vehicle annual inspection can promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage enhanced vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.

What is Hybrid in Automobiles?

Automobile hybrid refers to a vehicle whose drive system is composed of two or more individual drive systems that can operate simultaneously. The driving power of the vehicle is provided by a single drive system alone or jointly, depending on the actual driving conditions of the vehicle. Generally speaking, hybrid vehicles usually refer to oil-electric hybrid vehicles, which use traditional internal combustion engines and electric motors as power sources, and some engines are modified to use other alternative fuels. The electric power system used in hybrid vehicles includes highly efficient and enhanced electric motors, generators, and batteries. The batteries used include lead-acid batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, and lithium batteries.

What are the vehicles with independent suspension?

Vehicles equipped with independent suspension include: Buick Excelle, Ford Focus, Volkswagen Golf, Hyundai Mistra, Chery A3, Suzuki Antelope, etc. The independent suspension system means that each wheel on either side is individually suspended under the frame or body through an elastic suspension system. Independent suspensions can be categorized into: double-wishbone, single-wishbone, trailing arm, single oblique arm, and multi-link types. The advantages of independent suspension are: 1. During operation, the impact on one wheel does not affect the other, providing better shock absorption and damping effects; 2. It improves the vehicle's handling and ride comfort; 3. With a split axle design, independent suspension can lower the engine position and reduce the vehicle's center of gravity; 4. Independent suspension allows for greater wheel movement space, reducing suspension stiffness and enhancing ride smoothness.

When Should Spark Plugs Be Replaced in a Car?

When to replace spark plugs in a car: 1. The lifespan of resistor spark plugs is 20,000 kilometers; 2. The lifespan of platinum spark plugs is 40,000 kilometers; 3. The lifespan of iridium spark plugs can reach 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Spark plugs are a crucial component of the ignition system in gasoline engines. They introduce high voltage into the combustion chamber and create a spark by jumping the electrode gap, thereby igniting the combustible air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. A spark plug consists of a terminal nut, insulator, terminal stud, center electrode, side electrode, and shell. They are categorized into: standard spark plugs, projected insulator spark plugs, electrode-type spark plugs, seat-type spark plugs, pole-type spark plugs, surface-gap spark plugs, and standard and projected-type spark plugs.

What are the precautions for wading vehicles?

Precautions for wading vehicles: When driving through water, be sure to engage a low gear and then maintain a steady throttle pedal to move forward at a constant speed. If you proceed at too high a speed, it will create splashes, which can easily cause the engine to stall. If the engine stalls during wading, attempting to restart it immediately can lead to severe engine damage. The stalling occurs because water has entered the engine's air intake, preventing the engine from drawing in air. Before driving through water, always check the water depth. If the water is too deep, avoid attempting to drive through it. After wading, some electronic systems in the vehicle may malfunction, which is normal. It is advisable for vehicle owners to avoid driving through water whenever possible, as it can cause damage to the car.

What are the aftereffects of a vehicle driving through water?

Aftereffects of a vehicle driving through water: 1. Electronic system failure: After driving through water, the related electronic modules of the engine are highly prone to short circuits. Once the vehicle's central computer or wiring harnesses are affected, minor issues may cause a function to fail, while severe cases can lead to vehicle damage or even fires caused by short circuits; 2. Engine failure: If the owner attempts to restart the vehicle after the engine stalls due to water intake, the immense counterforce can cause the connecting rods to bend and rub against the cylinder walls, potentially puncturing the engine block instantly; 3. Waterlogged interior: When water levels rise above the doors, the interior is likely to get flooded. If the vehicle is not dried promptly, mold can quickly ruin the fabric and leather upholstery.

What documents are needed for out-of-town vehicle annual inspection?

More details about the documents required for out-of-town vehicle annual inspection are as follows: 1. Different situations for out-of-town annual inspection of vehicles in different periods. Before September 1, 2018, the required documents for vehicles included the original ID card, vehicle license, copy of compulsory traffic insurance, vehicle and vessel tax certificate, and an out-of-town vehicle inspection authorization letter; after September 1, 2018, vehicles no longer need to provide an out-of-town vehicle inspection authorization letter. 2. Application for an out-of-town vehicle inspection authorization letter. One method is to personally bring the required documents back to apply for the authorization letter and then take it back for the annual inspection; another method is to authorize a local friend or relative to handle the authorization letter on your behalf. For this, the vehicle owner needs to provide the representative with a power of attorney. The representative must bring their own ID card, the power of attorney, the vehicle owner's original ID card, original vehicle license, copy of compulsory traffic insurance, and vehicle and vessel tax certificate before they can proceed with the application.
