16-inch rims can be replaced with 17-inch rims, but it will affect the vehicle's annual inspection. The "Road Traffic Safety Regulations of the People's Republic of China" has corresponding provisions on this: Article 19 Motor vehicles must maintain good technical condition and clean appearance. Brakes, steering systems, wipers, rearview mirrors, and lighting devices must be kept complete and effective. Relevant information about rims is as follows: 1. When modifying rims, pay attention to the diameter of the center hole. If this size is smaller than the original factory size, it naturally cannot be installed. 2. However, if it is larger than the original factory size and no appropriate measures are taken, it will cause eccentricity during vehicle driving, resulting in abnormal noise and vibration. In severe cases, it will directly affect the safety of the vehicle.

Should the clutch and brake be pressed together when parking on a slope?

When parking on a slope, the clutch and brake should not be pressed together. You need to press the clutch first and then the brake. If you press the brake first when the speed is slow, it may cause the engine to stall. When making an emergency stop on a slope, pressing only the clutch will still allow the vehicle to move forward due to inertia. Therefore, generally, both the clutch and brake should be pressed all the way down simultaneously. When stopping at a fixed point on a slope to prevent rolling back, the clutch and brake should also be pressed down quickly at the same time. If the slope is very slight and short, you can simply use the brake to control the speed. If the slope is steep and long, you should shift to a lower gear in advance, using the engine to control the speed while also using the brake to assist in deceleration. Precautions: If you press the clutch all the way down when going downhill, it is equivalent to coasting in neutral. Due to gravity and inertia, the car's speed will increase. If there is an issue with the vehicle's braking system, the consequences could be very serious. Some experienced drivers claim that coasting in neutral saves fuel, but this was true for older carburetor-equipped models. Nowadays, most vehicles use fuel injection, and there is no fuel-saving benefit from coasting in neutral downhill. Moreover, pressing the clutch downhill can easily cause excessive wear on the clutch. Keeping the clutch pressed continuously will cause the release bearing to rotate at high speed constantly, significantly reducing its lifespan.

What is the storage compartment in the middle of the car called?

The storage compartment in the middle of the car is called the center armrest box. Some models also feature storage compartments such as cup holders and card slots between the gear lever and the armrest box. Automotive center armrest boxes are divided into original armrest boxes and modified armrest boxes. There are two main types of modified armrest boxes commonly found on the market: one is an engineering plastic armrest box assembled from one-piece molded plastic parts, and the other is a handcrafted armrest box that combines wood and plastic, with surfaces mainly covered by sponge and leather. Original Armrest Box: The original armrest box refers to the armrest box that comes standard with the vehicle from the manufacturer. These are generally low and, under normal circumstances, can only be used as storage boxes, failing to serve as an armrest. Engineering Plastic Armrest Box: Engineering plastic armrest boxes are primarily made of ABS resin and can be roughly divided into three parts: the main armrest box, the intermediate connecting trapezoidal box, and the base. Except for the base, which varies by vehicle, the styles of the main and secondary armrest boxes are largely similar. Due to high production volumes and readily available materials, engineering plastic armrest boxes have lower costs and are more affordable, making them widely sold in the market. Handcrafted Armrest Box: With the rapid development of the automotive industry, the popularity of family cars, and increasing demands for the decorative art effects of car interiors, as well as functionality and environmental practicality, leather craft armrest boxes have seen unprecedented growth. Leather armrest boxes use eco-friendly high-density boards as the framework, supplemented by injection-molded parts and metal components. Their human-centered exterior design not only enhances driving practicality but also stands out in aesthetic appeal.
