Out-of-town vehicles are not allowed to enter the Sixth Ring Road of Beijing, as per the traffic management measures implemented from April 11th. The restrictions on non-local passenger vehicles remain unchanged, meaning that from 7:00 to 9:00 and 17:00 to 20:00 on weekdays, passenger vehicles from other provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities are prohibited from entering roads within the Fifth Ring Road (including the Fifth Ring Road itself). For passenger vehicles entering Beijing from other provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities, traffic management measures are enforced from 9:00 to 17:00 on weekdays, restricting vehicles based on the last digit of their license plates during peak hours. The restricted area includes roads within the Fifth Ring Road (including the Fifth Ring Road itself), and the rotation of restricted license plate digits follows the same rules as those for Beijing-registered vehicles.

I think the common saying that non-local vehicles cannot enter areas within Beijing's Fifth Ring Road mainly refers to those with non-Beijing license plates being restricted during peak hours. On weekdays from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, non-local vehicles are prohibited from driving within the Fifth Ring Road, including the Fifth Ring Road itself. I remember one time my friend drove from another city to visit Beijing and forgot about this rule. He got stopped by traffic police when entering the East Fifth Ring Road and was fined, which felt quite unfair. This restriction is primarily implemented to reduce urban congestion and air pollution. However, the rule doesn't apply on holidays and weekends, making it much more convenient for non-local vehicles to enter the city during these times. I'd suggest non-local vehicle owners check the schedule in advance. For frequent visitors, applying for a temporary pass or using subway and buses directly might be better options to avoid the hassle of driving. Additionally, new energy vehicles sometimes enjoy preferential policies, which are worth looking into.

How many liters of engine oil does a 2.0T Crown require?

According to official specifications, the Crown 2.0T model requires 4.3 liters of engine oil. In practice, the oil level should be maintained between the marked indicators. Generally, it should not exceed 4.5 liters. Here are some important notes regarding engine oil refill: 1. Both overfilling and underfilling engine oil are inappropriate and can cause adverse effects on the vehicle. 2. Insufficient oil leads to poor lubrication, resulting in severe engine wear and potentially causing cylinder scoring. In serious cases, it may shorten the engine's lifespan. 3. Overfilling engine oil raises the fluid level, which increases engine resistance (since the crankshaft needs to continuously agitate the oil in the oil pan for splash lubrication). Excessive oil also makes oil seals more prone to damage. Damaged oil seals can lead to oil burning and increased fuel consumption.

How many seconds are you not allowed to drive on the dashed line in Subject 3?

In Subject 3, if you drive on the dashed line for no more than 5 seconds, no points will be deducted. Exceeding 5 seconds will result in an immediate failure. Avoid looking down at the gear shift: Especially during the 100-meter gear change exercise where you need to shift from 1st to 5th gear, when changing gears, your eyes must remain focused on the road ahead. Hold the steering wheel with your left hand and operate the gear shift with your right hand. Never look down at the gear shift while changing gears. Improper gear engagement and coasting in neutral: When changing gears, release the accelerator and press the brake. The brake must be fully depressed. If not fully depressed, it may be difficult to engage the gear properly. Coasting in neutral will result in point deductions. If the gear is not properly engaged, a sharp grinding noise may occur. Failing to fully depress the clutch promptly and re-engaging the gear may lead to stalling.

Will the white primer exposed on a black car rust?

Black cars exposing white primer will not rust. Knowledge about car rust is as follows: 1. Introduction: Rust is a chemical reaction that occurs when iron is left for a long time. Iron is prone to rust, not only due to its active chemical properties but also largely related to external conditions. Moisture is one of the substances that make iron prone to rust. 2. Principle: Water alone will not cause iron to rust. Only when oxygen in the air dissolves in water, and the oxygen reacts with iron in a watery environment, does it produce a substance called iron oxide, which is rust. Rust is a reddish-brown substance, not as hard as iron, and easily flakes off. When a piece of iron completely rusts, its volume can expand up to 8 times. If rust is not removed, this spongy rust is particularly prone to absorbing moisture, causing the iron to deteriorate faster.

How to Check the Last Six Digits of a Car's Engine Number?

The last six digits of a car's engine number can be directly viewed on the vehicle's registration certificate, purchase invoice, motor vehicle registration certificate, factory certificate, or vehicle purchase tax payment receipt. The first part of the engine number: Includes the product series code, generation symbol, and regional or enterprise code, which are selected by the manufacturer as needed using corresponding letters, but must be approved and filed by the industry standard standardization unit. The middle part of the engine number: Consists of the cylinder count symbol, cylinder arrangement symbol, stroke symbol, and cylinder diameter symbol. The last part of the engine number: Distinguishing symbol. When differentiation is needed for the same product series due to improvements or other reasons, the manufacturer selects an appropriate symbol, which can be separated from the preceding part by a "-".
