When reversing into a parking space, the front of the car should be aligned with the solid white line. Here are some precautions to take when reversing: Reversing from the left side: Whenever possible, choose to reverse from the left side as it provides better visibility for the driver. During the reversing process, first look behind you, then pay attention to both side mirrors. Observe the rear situation: Before reversing, always check the area behind the car, estimate the reversing path, and ensure the front of the car won't hit any obstacles. Especially when making sharp steering wheel turns, remember that the turning radius of the front wheels is larger than that of the rear wheels, causing the front of the car to swing outward more significantly. Be particularly cautious to avoid scraping the front of the car during such maneuvers.

Is one turn of the steering wheel 180 degrees or 360 degrees?

One turn of the steering wheel is 360 degrees. When turning the steering wheel, without releasing both hands, it can be rotated 180 degrees to each side. This range of steering is sufficient for most situations. Steering wheel self-centering performance: All motor vehicles, regardless of the type of steering system or whether they have power assistance, should have self-centering capability. This is particularly important while driving, as it's difficult to return to the straight position when stationary, but there should still be some self-centering force. Self-centering principle: Both kingpin inclination and caster angle contribute to the vehicle's automatic self-centering and maintaining straight-line driving. The difference is that the self-centering effect of kingpin inclination is independent of vehicle speed, while the self-centering effect of caster angle is speed-dependent. Therefore, the caster angle's self-centering effect is more significant at high speeds, while the kingpin inclination's effect is more prominent at low speeds.

How often should an 8-year-old car undergo annual inspection?

According to regulations, an 8-year-old car should be inspected every two years. Annual inspection time regulations: The Ministry of Public Security issued new regulations for vehicle annual inspections in 2021. For vehicles over 6 years but under 10 years old, the inspection cycle has been relaxed from once a year to once every two years. This means private cars only need to undergo two on-site inspections within 10 years, specifically in the 6th and 8th years. Definition of annual inspection: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for vehicles based on the technical requirements for motor vehicle operational safety. Vehicle annual inspections can promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage better vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.

Will prolonged use of spark plugs increase fuel consumption?

Prolonged use of spark plugs can increase fuel consumption. If the spark plugs are damaged, it can directly lead to higher fuel consumption in the vehicle. Methods to determine if spark plugs are damaged: Remove the spark plugs and observe their condition based on the following appearance colors. Normal spark plugs have insulator skirts and electrodes that appear grayish-white, grayish-yellow, or light brown. A properly functioning spark plug has a reddish-brown insulator skirt, with an electrode gap between 0.8-0.9mm and no signs of electrode burn. If the spark plugs are covered in oil or deposits but are not damaged, they can continue to be used after cleaning off the oil and deposits. If the spark plugs are severely damaged, with signs such as blistering at the top, black streaks, cracks, or melted electrodes, the cause of the damage should be identified. After troubleshooting, replace the spark plugs with new ones. Additionally, if the spark plugs appear black as if smoked, it indicates that the wrong heat range was selected or that the air-fuel mixture is too rich, or that engine oil is leaking into the combustion chamber. Steps for replacing spark plugs: Open the engine hood, lift the plastic cover of the engine, and remove the high-voltage wires. Mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for any external debris like leaves or dust and ensure they are cleaned thoroughly. Place the new spark plugs into the spark plug holes, hand-tighten them a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten them further. Reinstall the high-voltage wires according to the firing order, and then secure the cover.

What Causes the Clutch Not to Return?

The reasons for the clutch not returning include: air entering the clutch pipeline system, and dirty clutch fluid with impurities. Air entering the clutch pipeline system: Air entering the system causes excessive clutch travel and poor return. This type of fault can be self-diagnosed. When the clutch pedal is pressed for the first time, if there is no resistance and the travel is excessive, and the pedal rises after repeated pressing, it is mostly due to air entering the hydraulic system. In this case, the cause of the air entry should be identified as soon as possible, and the air in the hydraulic system should be purged. Dirty clutch fluid with impurities: Impurities can cause severe internal wear of the clutch master cylinder or clog the return oil hole, preventing the clutch from returning. You can open the engine hood to check if the fluid in the clutch fluid reservoir appears black or gray. If discolored, the clutch fluid should be replaced promptly.

Are Plug-in Hybrids Exempt from Purchase Tax?

Plug-in hybrids are still exempt from purchase tax. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles can still enjoy exemptions from purchase tax, green license plates, and government subsidies. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles: They are a type of new energy vehicle that falls between pure electric vehicles and traditional fuel vehicles. They have the engine, transmission, drivetrain, fuel system, and fuel tank of a conventional car. In daily use, they can also function as a pure electric vehicle. As long as the single usage does not exceed the battery's range, they can achieve zero emissions and zero fuel consumption. High battery costs: It is difficult for such vehicles to enter households at a low price in the short term. However, influenced by the development trends of the domestic automotive industry and increased government subsidies, plug-in hybrid models entering households are just around the corner.

How Many Years Are Scrapped Vehicle Records Kept?

Scrapped vehicle records are kept for 5 years. Procedures for scrapping motor vehicles: The owner of a scrapped vehicle should promptly apply to the public security authorities for the scrapping procedures. The public security authorities shall issue the "Motor Vehicle Scrapping Certificate" to the owner on the day of acceptance and instruct them to sell the scrapped vehicle to a scrapped vehicle recycling company. Issuance of certificate: The scrapped vehicle recycling company purchases the scrapped vehicle with the "Motor Vehicle Scrapping Certificate" and issues the "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate" to the owner. The owner then uses this certificate to complete the deregistration procedures with the public security authorities at the vehicle's registration location.
