According to policy regulations, compulsory traffic insurance for new cars can take effect immediately after purchase, while commercial auto insurance generally becomes effective at midnight the following day after purchase. Some insurance companies also allow car owners the freedom to choose the effective time of their commercial auto insurance. Below are specific details about license plates: 1. Function of License Plates: License plates serve as identification and information registration for vehicles, primarily enabling the identification of the vehicle's region of registration and allowing access to the owner's details and registration information. 2. Classification by License Plate Color: Large civilian vehicles have yellow plates with black characters. Small civilian vehicles have blue plates with white characters. Embassy foreign vehicles have black plates with white characters and a red "Embassy" character mark. Consulate foreign vehicles have black plates with white characters and a red "Consulate" character mark. Other foreign vehicles have black plates with white characters. Test vehicle plates are blue with white characters, prefixed with a "Test" character mark. Learner vehicle plates are blue with white characters, prefixed with a "Learner" character mark. Temporary plates are white with red characters, prefixed with the word "Temporary." Coach vehicles have yellow plates with black characters, suffixed with a "Learner" character mark.

Will there be any problem if I forget to step on the brake when shifting to P gear?

Forgetting to step on the brake once when shifting to P gear will not have much impact on the car, but doing so for a long time can damage the car's transmission. The correct parking steps should be: 1. Step on the brake to stop the car; 2. Shift the gear to N gear; 3. Tighten the handbrake; 4. Turn off the engine; 5. Shift to P gear. P gear is also called the parking gear, which relies on the power of the engine to brake the vehicle. When the gear is shifted to P gear, there will be a locking gear in the automatic transmission to lock the transmission. Therefore, when shifting to P gear, any movement of the wheels can easily cause the locking gear to break, and even seriously affect the transmission.

What Causes the Stop-Start System Malfunction?

Stop-start system malfunction refers to a failure in the vehicle's start-stop system. The symptoms of an engine start-stop system malfunction include: prolonged engine starting time, very low engine speed after starting, and sometimes the engine shutting off immediately after starting. If such issues occur, it is recommended to have the vehicle repaired at a 4S shop. Precautions for using the engine start-stop system: 1. When the start-stop is activated, the air conditioning cannot be used. If air conditioning is needed, the engine must start within 10 seconds; 2. Avoid using the automatic start-stop feature in traffic jams; 3. Do not activate the start-stop system on slopes, as the vehicle may slide when the brake is released, and the engine may not start in time, leading to insufficient braking force assistance.
