China IV vehicles were produced after 2011, with some also manufactured in 2010. Here is more relevant information: 1. China IV Emission Standard: The China IV emission standard is the national fourth-phase motor vehicle pollutant emission standard. Compared to China III, it requires light-duty vehicles to reduce single-vehicle pollutant emissions by approximately 50%, heavy-duty vehicles to reduce single-vehicle emissions by about 30%, and particulate matter emissions by over 80%. 2. About Passenger Vehicle Emission Test Cycles: Different countries and regions adopt different emission standards based on their actual conditions. For example, the United States has the U.S. standard, Europe has the Euro standard (Euro IV, Euro V, etc.), and China has the China standard (China V, China VI, etc.). However, there are mainly three test cycles for passenger vehicle emissions: the EU's NEDC cycle, the U.S.'s FTP75 cycle, and Japan's JC08 cycle. The China standard is primarily formulated with reference to the Euro standard, while Japan's standard is more influenced by the U.S. standard.

The implementation year of China IV vehicles mainly focused around 2010, which is a key milestone in analyzing emission standards from a technical perspective. I recall that the China IV standard for light-duty gasoline vehicles was mandatorily enforced nationwide in the first phase starting from July 2010, while diesel vehicles began full promotion from 2013. In practical terms, the production date on the vehicle or the registration certificate can be used to confirm the year, for example, most new cars produced in 2010 meet the China IV requirements. The purpose of the standard upgrade is to reduce pollutant emissions, such as hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide, which must be significantly reduced. I often check the vehicle's environmental label or consult professional reports from 4S shops. If encountering issues with identifying older vehicles, it's best to verify the year's reliability using the VIN code query system to avoid misunderstandings caused by early implementation or regional differences, ensuring clarity when purchasing or maintaining a vehicle.

As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience, the car I drive is a China IV emission standard vehicle purchased in 2010. At the time, the 4S store salesperson specifically emphasized that this model was launched to comply with the new emission standards. Typical model years for China IV vehicles include those produced between 2010 and 2013, though this varies by vehicle type, with light-duty vehicles transitioning earlier. In daily life, when purchasing a car, you can quickly determine if it falls under the China IV period by checking the manufacturing date on the vehicle registration certificate. I also advise novice drivers to regularly check the environmental green label or use app query tools to confirm this information, as it directly impacts annual inspection pass rates and future resale value. Looking back, vehicle inspections became stricter after the China IV standard was implemented, with exhaust emission tests including additional sensor checks. This has made drivers more attentive to maintaining engine and fuel system cleanliness. In summary, 2010 marked a turning point, and understanding these details can help everyone save money and avoid hassle.

From an environmental perspective, the implementation year of China IV vehicles typically refers to the emission standard reform initiated in 2010. During that era, China's rapid urbanization highlighted air quality issues, with major cities like Beijing taking the lead in 2010 to reduce particulate pollution hazards. This standard was mandatorily applied to new vehicles in 2010, significantly enhancing exhaust purification requirements, including key upgrades such as catalytic converter efficiency. I believe the China IV standard brought substantial environmental improvements, promoting green transformation in the automotive industry and reducing smog days. Looking back now, the old standards are outdated, and I encourage everyone to actively support the promotion of China VI standards for healthier travel.

How to Turn on the Car's External Air Circulation?

Method to activate the car's external air circulation: Simply press the external circulation button on the central control panel. Below is relevant information about the air conditioning's internal and external circulation: 1. External Circulation: The external circulation primarily serves the purpose of ventilation. Therefore, this function should be activated when the air inside the vehicle is not flowing smoothly. During high-speed driving, if the car is sealed and only internal circulation is used, it can easily lead to insufficient oxygen inside the vehicle. This may cause driver fatigue, inability to concentrate, and pose potential safety hazards. 2. Internal Circulation: The internal circulation mainly functions to promptly and effectively prevent external dust and harmful gases from entering the vehicle. For example, when driving through areas with smoke, dust, unpleasant odors, or in heavy traffic, it blocks harmful exhaust emissions from vehicles ahead. Another function is to maintain warmth.

Can a 70-Year-Old Drive a Car?

70-year-olds can drive cars. Below are the relevant regulations for 70-year-olds driving cars: 1. Driving Requirements: After a driver reaches the age of 70, they must submit a personal physical condition certificate to the local vehicle management office within 30 days after the end of the scoring cycle to be allowed to drive on the road. 2. Downgrading Process: After reaching 70 years of age, some drivers' licenses will be subject to corresponding downgrading. For example, drivers who originally held an A1 or A2 license will be downgraded to the scope of a C1 or C2 license. If the permitted vehicle type on the driver's license is an ordinary three-wheeled motorcycle (D) or an ordinary two-wheeled motorcycle (E), it should be replaced with a license for a light motorcycle (F).

What Causes the Shock Absorber to Bottom Out When Driving Over Potholes?

If the shock absorber bottoms out when driving over potholes, check for oil leakage in the shock absorber. Here are some additional details: Shock absorber oil leakage: If the shock absorber is leaking oil, it needs to be replaced promptly. Otherwise, the damping effect will deteriorate significantly, affecting ride comfort and increasing the load on other chassis components. Over time, the springs may also become deformed, so replacement should be done as soon as possible. Vehicle leveling height value: Check the vehicle leveling height value (measure the left and right height values after lifting and restoring, and after pressing down and restoring, with a maximum difference within 10mm). Additionally, inspect the shock absorber for any oil leakage to determine whether it is damaged and needs replacement. Also, examine related suspension components, such as rubber bushings and ball joints, for any damage and replace them if necessary.

How to Drive When Approaching the Top of an Uphill Road at Night?

When driving uphill at night and approaching the top of the slope, it is important to alternate between high and low beams. This helps alert vehicles on the opposite slope, as they may not have a clear line of sight to your vehicle. Additionally, maintaining proper speed control is crucial. Here are the detailed steps: 1. Activate Hill Start Assist: If your vehicle is equipped with hill start assist, activate it. Then, press the brake pedal, shift to D gear, release the handbrake, and quickly move your right foot to the accelerator. Gently press the accelerator if the road surface is poor, or press it more firmly if the road is in good condition. 2. Correct Driving Method When Approaching the Top of an Uphill Road at Night: As you near the top of the slope, control your speed appropriately and alternate between high and low beams to signal to oncoming vehicles and pedestrians. Avoid using high beams continuously to prevent dazzling oncoming drivers, which could lead to loss of vehicle control.

What does the term 'permissible towing mass' mean?

Permissible towing mass refers to the combined weight of the trailer and the cargo being hauled. It is a theoretical value, also known as the 'nominal towing capacity.' The total mass includes both the vehicle and the towed object, meaning the vehicle's weight plus the weight of the towed object, with the towing force applied to this total mass. Therefore, when calculating the total towing mass tonnage, the weight of the towed object should not be considered solely as the nominal towing capacity. Notes on permissible towing mass: 1. Total mass on the driver's license: Refers to the vehicle's curb weight + approved passenger capacity + approved passenger weight (number of passengers in the cabin × average weight of 65 kg per person). 2. Curb weight: The vehicle's own mass. 3. Certified load capacity: The standard mass of cargo the vehicle is designed to carry. 4. Permissible towing mass: Refers to the total mass that a semi-trailer can tow (including the combined mass of the towed vehicle and cargo). It is the sum of the tractor's mass (excluding the driver and fuel), the towed vehicle's mass, and the cargo mass.

Why can't car crystal coating be applied to glass?

Car crystal coating cannot be applied to glass due to high costs. The process is complex and requires strict conditions, necessitating professional training for the coating technicians and a high-standard environment, specifically a dust-free workspace. Below is additional information: Advantages of car glass crystal coating: After applying crystal coating to car glass, rainwater will quickly slide off upon contact with the glass, maintaining clear visibility under wind pressure and ensuring driving safety in the rain. A special hydrophobic protective film forms on the windshield surface, enhancing water repellency. As the vehicle speed increases, raindrops on the windshield will naturally slide off and disperse, reducing adhesion to the glass and maintaining clear visibility. This effectively reduces the use of windshield wipers and prevents visibility issues caused by wiper malfunctions, thereby decreasing the likelihood of accidents in rainy conditions and improving driving safety. Extending its lifespan: The coating effectively protects the glass from damage caused by acid rain, oil stains, insects, and harmful substances, as well as prevents oil film buildup on the glass surface due to car exhaust and other pollutants, keeping the glass clean. It contains no corrosive chemicals, protecting the windshield wipers from damage and extending their service life.
