What is the reason for showing unreturned flow during vehicle transfer?

If the vehicle has failed inspection at other testing stations, the flow cannot be returned. Below is the relevant introduction: Vehicle Transfer: Vehicle transfer refers to changing the name of the vehicle's owner. Notes: Every vehicle has a fixed registration, similar to a person's household registration. The vehicle registration mainly records the owner and address of the vehicle, as well as some relevant vehicle parameters. A transferred vehicle proves that the vehicle belongs to the current owner and has no accidents or violations. If there are issues with the vehicle, such as involvement in an accident, failure to participate in annual inspection, being a stolen vehicle, or a smuggled vehicle, it cannot be transferred through normal procedures.

What is the function of the cylinder head cover?

The functions of the cylinder head cover are: 1. To cover and seal the cylinder head, keeping the oil inside while keeping dirt and moisture contaminants out; 2. To separate the oil from the air; 3. To serve as an oil filler port; 4. To act as a mounting bracket for sensors, including the camshaft position and camshaft timing sensors. The cylinder head primarily seals the cylinder, forming the combustion chamber together with the piston and withstanding the effects of high-temperature and high-pressure gases. The cylinder head endures the mechanical load caused by gas forces and the tightening of cylinder bolts, as well as high thermal loads due to contact with high-temperature gases. To ensure good sealing of the cylinder, the cylinder head must not be damaged or deformed. Therefore, the cylinder head should have sufficient strength and stiffness.

What lights should be used when passing through an intersection without street lights?

When passing through an intersection without traffic signals, you should alternately use high and low beams. Here are the relevant instructions: Correct use of lights: When passing through an intersection without traffic lights, alternately use high and low beams more than twice, slow down in advance, and signal by alternating between high and low beams, paying close attention to the traffic conditions ahead. Situations for using other lights: Driving at night without street lighting or under poor lighting conditions—turn on the headlights; meeting non-motor vehicles on narrow roads or bridges at night—use low beams; passing through sharp curves, slopes, arch bridges, crosswalks, or intersections without traffic signal control at night—alternately use high and low beams (flashing more than twice).
