Five-year-old new tires cannot be used. Generally, tires should be replaced every 5 years or after driving 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. If there is uneven wear, the tread wear indicators are reached, aging cracks appear on the tires, or the tire replacement period is reached, it is recommended to replace them with new tires for safety reasons. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. Tires are one of the important components of a car, and their main functions are: 1. Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle and bearing the operational load of the car; 2. Transmitting traction and braking torque to ensure the adhesion between the wheels and the road surface.

Failure to stop at the designated point results in a 100-point deduction; if the vehicle's front bumper does not reach the control line after stopping, a 100-point deduction is applied. 2. Rolling back more than 30 cm after stopping results in a 100-point deduction; rolling back less than 30 cm after stopping results in a 10-point deduction (previously 20 points). 3. Failing to turn on the left turn signal when starting results in a 10-point deduction. 4. Driving over the solid edge line of the road results in a 100-point deduction. 5. If the front bumper does not reach the stop line after stopping, a 10-point deduction is applied (previously 20 points); if the right front wheel is more than 30 cm away from the edge line when stopping, a 10-point deduction is applied (previously 20 points). 6.

What kind of engine oil should be used for the 2019 Audi A4L?

2019 Audi A4L uses 5W-30 fully synthetic engine oil. Below is the relevant introduction about engine oil: 1. Functions of engine oil: The main functions of engine oil are lubrication, cleaning, and heat dissipation. In fact, many parts of the vehicle use engine oil, but the engine oil that needs to be replaced every 5000 kilometers refers to the engine oil. 2. Differences and replacement intervals of engine oil: Engine oil can be divided into mineral engine oil, semi-synthetic engine oil, and fully synthetic engine oil. If mineral engine oil is used, it generally needs to be replaced every six months or about 5000 kilometers; if semi-synthetic engine oil is used, it should be replaced every 7-8 months or about 7500 kilometers; if fully synthetic engine oil is used, it can be replaced after driving for about one year or 10,000 kilometers.

What is the difference between PU car wrap and TPU car wrap?

TPU and PU both belong to polyurethane, but TPU is a thermoplastic polyurethane, which outperforms PU in terms of properties and is currently the preferred material recommended by renowned invisible car wrap brands. The details are as follows: 1. PU: PU is polyurethane, widely used in chemical, electronic, textile, and medical fields. However, it is not suitable for application on car paint surfaces because PU material is relatively soft with weak tensile properties, making it unsuitable for paint protection film installation. PU material is soft, has weak tensile strength (unable to wrap curved areas of the car body during installation), cannot repair scratches, and is prone to yellowing. 2. TPU: TPU is a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer rubber with a wide range of hardness and high elasticity. It can withstand a broad temperature range while maintaining flexibility. The surface of TPU has a coating structure, enabling it to resist stains, corrosion, and scratches, with strong UV resistance. TPU material is technologically advanced, highly elastic, stretchable, stable, and offers excellent stain resistance, corrosion resistance, and UV protection. Additionally, minor scratches can quickly self-repair at room temperature.

What does the yellow engine dashboard light mean?

Here are the reasons that may cause the yellow engine light to illuminate: 1. Sensor issues: Sensors include those for coolant temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake air temperature, oxygen sensors, etc. When these sensors are damaged, have poor connections, or experience signal interruptions, the vehicle's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, which will trigger the engine warning light. 2. Maintenance problems: Poor engine maintenance is the most common cause of the engine warning light coming on. All vehicles have specific maintenance schedules. If the owner fails to perform regular maintenance combined with poor driving habits, it will increase the operational burden on the engine, ultimately triggering the yellow warning light as an alert.

Does a motor vehicle need to undergo an on-site inspection in its sixth year?

Passenger transport vehicles: Must be inspected once a year within the first 5 years; after 5 years, inspections are required every 6 months. 2. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-passenger transport vehicles: Must be inspected once a year within the first 10 years; after 10 years, inspections are required every 6 months. 3. Small and mini non-passenger transport vehicles: Must be inspected once every 2 years within the first 6 years; after 6 years, inspections are required once a year; after 15 years, inspections are required every 6 months. 4. Exemption policy: Family cars with 6 seats or fewer enjoy a 6-year exemption from on-site inspections. The prerequisite for this exemption is that no major traffic accidents occur during this period. If an accident occurs, an on-site inspection is mandatory. Vehicles with 7 seats or more do not qualify for the 6-year exemption and must still undergo inspections every 2 years during the first 6 years.

What documents are needed for driving school registration?

Documents required for driving school registration: 1. Original ID card and photocopy: The photocopy generally requires both sides to be copied on one sheet of paper. It is best to prepare this in advance. 2. Photocopy of household registration (hukou) book: For non-local residents, a residence permit (temporary residence permit) is also required. 3. Photos: Typically, 8 recent 1-inch full-color passport photos with a white background, showing a front-facing, bareheaded half-length portrait. These must meet specified requirements or they will not be accepted. 4. Medical examination form: A medical examination form is also required before registration. You can bring the form yourself for the examination. The form must be issued by a county-level or higher medical institution or a military medical institution at or above the regiment level (or you may undergo a unified medical examination arranged by the driving school). 6. Application form: Original copy of the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form." Generally, the driving school will fill it out on your behalf or require you to complete it on-site during registration.
