Various warning lights appearing after a vehicle inspection may be due to the inspector abruptly slamming on the brakes or accelerator during the brake inspection, or forcefully pulling the handbrake during a flatbed brake test. This can cause the vehicle to misinterpret the driver's actions as problematic, triggering the warning lights as a reminder. Vehicle inspection precautions: 1. Check for traffic violations: Before the inspection, check online with the traffic management bureau for any traffic violations on your vehicle. If there are any, handle them promptly and verify online until no violations are shown. 2. Pay attention to the weather: Avoid scheduling inspections during snowy or rainy weather, as wet wheels cannot accurately reflect the true braking force. 3. Check if a fire extinguisher is in the trunk: Note: Sometimes they will check if the fire extinguisher is expired and if a warning triangle is present. If your vehicle lacks these, prepare them in advance. 4. Test the braking function: Before the inspection, find a flat road and perform several emergency brakes at speeds of 20~40 km/h. The purpose is to activate the braking system so that it can exert maximum braking force during the inspection and pass smoothly.

Is the original car insurance still valid after buying a used car?

After the transfer of a used car, the original owner's insurance can continue to be used, but the insurance needs to be transferred. There are two ways to handle the transfer of insurance for a used car: 1. The original owner cancels the insurance: The original owner can cancel the insurance, and the unused portion of the premium will be refunded to the policyholder according to the insurance algorithm. After cancellation, the new owner can choose an insurance company. Cancellation requires the insurance policy and the original owner's ID, while new insurance requires the vehicle registration certificate and the used car transfer certificate. 2. Transfer to the new owner: Transfer the existing insurance to the new owner (requires the vehicle registration certificate, vehicle license, used car invoice, and the original IDs of both the buyer and seller). Generally, the insurance transfer must be processed at the original insurance purchase location. After completing the transfer procedures at the vehicle management office, it is necessary to go to the insurance company to change the insurance. Otherwise, in the event of an accident, it will be impossible to file a normal claim. Bring the new vehicle license, the IDs of both owners, and the original insurance policy.

What Causes Oil Leakage at the Turbocharger Exhaust Pipe?

The reasons for oil leakage at the turbocharger exhaust pipe are: 1. Aging of oil seal gasket: After years of driving, some components inevitably age. If the gasket ages, it can cause oil leakage, requiring replacement of the gasket. 2. Poor lubrication: If the turbocharger has poor lubrication, friction between components can lead to wear and oil leakage. In this case, it's necessary to add oil or replace the worn parts. 3. Turbocharger damage: If the turbocharger is damaged due to a collision, oil leakage will occur, necessitating replacement of the turbocharger.

What does the DM gear mean?

Car DM gear is the forward creeping mode, which is only a low-speed gear and does not automatically upshift. In the creeping mode gear state, the vehicle is equivalent to being in a semi-engaged state, and only requires controlling the throttle opening to achieve slow movement of the vehicle, making it more conducive to precise control of the vehicle's position. Generally, AMT automatic transmissions are designed with Dm (creeping mode) and Rm (creeping mode), which are the semi-engaged states of the automatic transmission. When in the creeping mode gear state, the vehicle in the semi-engaged state can achieve slow movement by lightly pressing the throttle, making it very convenient in situations such as passing through width-limiting gates or reversing into parking spaces. The semi-engaged state of an automatic transmission is actually similar to that of a manual transmission, except that the gear actuator helps us achieve the control of the semi-engaged state. Similarly, in the semi-engaged state, the transmission cannot switch gears, and the clutch is in a semi-engaged state. Precautions for DM gear: The vehicle gear should not be kept in "creeping mode" for a long time, as the clutch is in a semi-engaged state at this time, and continuous high-load operation may lead to premature wear of the clutch plates. Creeping mode should only be used in scenarios such as connecting trailers, passing through width-limiting gates, or low-speed reversing into parking spaces.

How Long Should a Beginner Wait Before Driving on the Highway?

The latest traffic regulations stipulate that new drivers have a 12-month probationary period. During this period, drivers cannot drive alone on highways and must be accompanied by someone with at least three years of driving experience. Here are the relevant details: 1. During the probationary period, drivers are required to affix or display a uniform sign at the rear of the vehicle. If the sign does not comply with regulations or cannot be properly identified, it will be considered as not displaying the sign, resulting in a fine of 200 yuan. 2. During the probationary period, drivers are not allowed to operate public buses, commercial passenger vehicles, or vehicles such as police cars and fire trucks on duty.
