Changing the car logo will be stopped by traffic police. Here are the relevant details: 1. Illegal act: Changing the car logo is an illegal act and may result in a warning or fine. According to Article 16 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, no unit or individual may assemble a motor vehicle or alter the registered structure, construction, or characteristics of a motor vehicle without authorization; nor may they alter the model, engine number, frame number, or vehicle identification code of a motor vehicle. 2. Article 87: Traffic police and traffic management departments of public security authorities should promptly correct road traffic safety violations. They should impose penalties based on facts and the relevant provisions of this law. For minor violations that do not affect road traffic, the police may issue a verbal warning and release the offender after pointing out the violation.

I've been driving for almost 20 years and have seen many people get pulled over and fined by traffic police for modifying their car emblems. In China, traffic regulations are very clear - the car emblem is part of the vehicle identification markings. Altering it may violate the Road Traffic Safety Law because it can make it difficult for others to recognize the license plate and vehicle identity, potentially causing confusion in accident investigations or routine checks. Traffic police pay special attention to this during patrols or annual inspections - minor cases might result in a 200 yuan fine, while serious ones may require restoring the original emblem or even penalty points. For example, my neighbor once replaced his BMW emblem with a Mercedes-style one and got caught during a drunk driving check, which almost caused serious trouble. So my advice is: don't modify the emblem if you want to stay safe and worry-free. If you want personalization, just add some decorations without touching the emblem.

Will the fault code reappear after clearing it?

Generally, the fault code will not reappear after clearing it. Below is a detailed introduction to automotive fault codes: 1. Meaning: Indicates the monitored fault system. P stands for Powertrain; B stands for Body; C stands for Chassis; U stands for Network or Data Communication Transmission System fault code. 2. The first digit: Indicates whether it is a generic code (applicable to all vehicle manufacturers) or a manufacturer-specific code. For example: 0 refers to a generic code, while 1 refers to a manufacturer-specific code. General Motors in the United States, for instance, has specific numeric type codes to assist in diagnosing vehicle technical conditions. 3. The second digit: Specifies the type of affected fault system, with numbers ranging from 1-7: 1 for Fuel and Air Metering System; 2 for Fuel and Air Metering System (specifically for injection system circuit malfunction); 3 for Ignition System or Misfire Monitoring System; 4 for Auxiliary Emission System; 5 for Vehicle Speed Control and Idle Control System; 6 for Computer Output Circuit System; 7 for Transmission.

What is the maximum wading depth of the Wuling Hongguang?

Car maximum wading depth is measured based on the position of the vehicle's air intake. Below are the details: Measured based on the position of the vehicle's air intake: For most compact and small cars with low ground clearance, the position of the air intake serves as the benchmark when driving through waterlogged roads. The function of the air intake is to draw in air. If the water depth exceeds the height of the air intake, a large amount of water can be sucked into the engine compartment, which can severely endanger the safety of the vehicle. The air intake of a car is mostly located under the engine hood. Generally, the height of the engine air intake represents the maximum wading depth of the car. If the water level exceeds this maximum wading depth, the car should no longer be driven. Preventing water from entering the engine: When driving in deeper water, the movement of the car can cause higher splashes. Therefore, if the water depth exceeds two-thirds of the wheel height, water may enter the cabin. If the water depth exceeds the front bumper or approaches the front grille, it can directly cause water to enter the engine, damaging the vehicle.

What does 'large vehicle with small label' mean?

'Large vehicle with small label' refers to a situation where the vehicle type recorded in the ETC system does not match the actual vehicle information. This occurs when a Type 2, Type 3, or even Type 4 vehicle with larger tonnage and more seats is recorded as a smaller vehicle type in the ETC pass card, resulting in larger vehicles using ETC pass cards intended for smaller vehicle types, thereby underpaying toll fees. If a 'large vehicle with small label' issue arises, the vehicle owner can visit any ETC service point at the corresponding bank to settle the outstanding toll fees. With the relevant proof, the highway administration's toll system will then correct the vehicle information and remove the vehicle from the blacklist. Currently, vehicle owners must follow the requirements of the relevant authorities by paying the difference in toll fees based on the actual vehicle type to clear the blacklist and regain access to highways. The owner can go to the bank to pay the outstanding toll difference and then present the bank receipt to the toll station staff during highway travel for normal passage.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Wuling Hongguang S 1.5 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Wuling Hongguang S 1.5L model is 50 liters. This data is officially released, and owners who have purchased the Wuling Hongguang S 1.5L model can also check it on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Wuling Hongguang S 1.5L model uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6.5-6.7L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 746-769 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel in the tank. Generally, this is observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge on the dashboard typically has 5 to 6 segments. It is advisable to refuel when the gauge shows 2 segments remaining to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit. There is additional space from the safe limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked tank capacity.

Will the Safety Officer Intentionally Fail You in the Driving Test (Subject 3)?

It is understood that some safety officers, who do not receive 'benefits', may limit the pass rate, as each vehicle management office has certain assessment indicators that affect the income of safety officers. However, such cases are extremely rare, and generally, safety officers prefer you to pass. Especially during the year-end performance assessment of the vehicle management office, safety officers tend to slightly relax the manual scoring standards. As long as no particularly serious mistakes are made, they will 'turn a blind eye' and let you pass. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Scoring: In the past, the Subject 3 test was scored by safety officers, leading to significant 'inaccuracies' in the results. In some small localities, candidates could pass the test by bribing the invigilators. However, after the implementation of electronic road tests, this practice has been weakened, with most of the scores now determined by the system and only a small part assessed by safety officers. 2. Note: Illegal activities must not be undertaken, such as bribing safety officers to pass the test or cheating in the exam. Once discovered, not only will the test qualification be revoked, but the candidate will also be barred from applying for the test for one year. The safety officers who accept bribes will also face corresponding penalties, so do not attempt to break the law.
