Tire with only three lug nuts cannot be driven. Lift the car: Prepare gloves, a new tire, and a jack. Place the jack under the frame on the side where the tire needs to be replaced. Operate the jack to lift the car. Remove the old tire: Use a wrench to sequentially remove the bolts of the tire that needs to be replaced, then take off the wheel. Install the new tire: Align the new tire with the axle and bolt holes, initially tighten the lug nuts. While tightening the nuts, you can step on the sidewall part at the bottom of the tire with your foot. Lower the car to complete installation: Lower the jack and tighten each bolt in a diagonal sequence. When replacing a tire, ensure you are in a safe and stable location to prevent the car from rolling.

How to Handle the Scrapping Procedures for a Minivan?

Bring the identity proof of the vehicle owner (organizational code certificate for company vehicles, ID card for private vehicles), vehicle registration certificate and license plate, driving license, and a power of attorney signed by the vehicle owner, along with the identity proof of the authorized person, to the service window of a scrap car recycling and dismantling company to fill out the scrapping application and complete the relevant procedures. Below is a related introduction about vehicle scrapping: 1. Definition: Vehicle scrapping refers to the process of selling the vehicle to a scrap vehicle recycling and dismantling enterprise for registration, dismantling, destruction, etc., as per regulations. While there is no explicit scrapping period for small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles, other vehicle types have such requirements. Small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles will be forcibly scrapped when they fail to pass inspection. 2. Vehicle scrapping process: (1) Obtain and fill out the "Vehicle Scrapping Form" at the vehicle management office, and submit copies of the driving license, the vehicle owner's ID card, and for company-owned vehicles, the organizational code certificate (with official seal) and the agent's ID card. If retaining the original license plate is desired, any traffic violations must be settled first. (2) The vehicle management office will review the "Vehicle Scrapping Form" in the archives room and notify by phone to collect the approved form. (3) The vehicle owner or agent delivers the vehicle to the scrap vehicle recycling enterprise, fills out the "Vehicle Registration, Transfer, Cancellation/Transfer Application Form", and submits the driving license, vehicle license plate, vehicle registration certificate (if not available, it can be omitted), the vehicle owner's ID card, for company-owned vehicles the organizational code certificate (with official seal) and the agent's ID card, and the "Vehicle Scrapping Form".

How to Coordinate the Clutch and Brake When Parking?

When parking, you should first press the brake to slow down, and then press the clutch pedal just before the car comes to a complete stop. Here are some relevant details about the clutch: 1. Detail one: The clutch is part of the car's transmission system and is a crucial component for the vehicle. The clutch is responsible for connecting or disconnecting the engine from the transmission, and it is located between the engine and the transmission. The clutch pressure plate is fixed to the engine flywheel, with the clutch disc positioned between the pressure plate and the flywheel. 2. Detail two: When stopping the car, pressing the clutch effectively cuts off the power supply. At this point, the brake acts on the tires without affecting the engine's operation, thus preventing the engine from stalling.

How to Identify Genuine Yamaha Engine Oil?

Methods to distinguish genuine engine oil are as follows: 1. Check the packaging: Genuine engine oil usually has neat packaging, while counterfeit oil often has rough packaging with blurred fonts. Genuine engine oil also has a sealed tin foil at the oil opening, marked with the manufacturer's special symbol. 2. Observe the oil appearance: Genuine oil is light-colored, transparent, free of impurities, suspended particles, or sediment, and flows well when shaken; its color is much darker than counterfeit oil. 3. Smell the oil and feel its texture: Genuine oil has a mild smell, while counterfeit oil has a strong and pungent odor. At the same viscosity grade, genuine oil feels less viscous, whereas counterfeit oil feels stickier and may form threads when touched. 4. Oil price: The price of genuine oil usually does not vary significantly. If the price is unusually low, it might be counterfeit oil.

Should the steering wheel be turned towards the wider side in an S-curve?

Should the steering wheel be turned towards the wider side in an S-curve? Here are some introductions about S-curves: 1. Precautions: Use the rearview mirror to check the rear. Turn the steering wheel towards the side where the rear of the car is wider. Beginners should avoid reversing too quickly and make corrections as needed. Avoid collisions. Generally, do not turn the steering wheel to the maximum to prevent the front corners of the car from scraping. It's best to have someone observe and remind from outside the car. 2. Principle: Steering follows the principle of 'turn as much as you return, turn quickly and return quickly, turn slowly and return slowly.' For example, if the left rear of the car is wider, turn the steering wheel 90 degrees to the left. When the desired effect is about to be achieved, return 90 degrees to the right. The same logic applies to the speed of turning.
