Not all vehicles require replacing two tires at the same time when changing tires. However, for safety reasons, it is recommended to replace both tires together. Below are the relevant details regarding tire replacement: 1. Tire Wear: If the vehicle is new and has not been driven extensively, only the problematic tire needs to be replaced, as the wear on tires on the same axle will be similar. 2. Mileage: If the tires have been driven tens of thousands of kilometers but do not yet need replacement, and only one tire has an issue, replacing just one tire may cause uneven height, leading to bumpy rides or steering issues at higher speeds. In such cases, it is best to replace a pair of tires.

What does the odometer reading on the dashboard mean?

The odometer reading on the dashboard refers to two types of mileage: one is the total mileage of the vehicle, which cannot be reset and is displayed prominently on the dashboard. The other is the trip mileage, which can be reset and is displayed smaller, used to record the vehicle's mileage over a certain period. For example, resetting the trip mileage after maintenance can help track when the next maintenance is due. Principle of the vehicle odometer: The vehicle odometer is a digital display dashboard that operates based on the rotation of an electronic counter drum wheel, which meshes with the worm gear on the speedometer's rotating shaft, causing the drum wheel to rotate. Its advantage is that when the upper drum wheel completes a full rotation, the lower drum wheel rotates 1/10 of a turn. Like the speedometer, modern odometers are also electronic, obtaining mileage data signals from the speed sensor. The accumulated mileage data of an electronic odometer is stored in non-volatile memory, allowing the data to be preserved even when the power is off. Odometer overview: The dashboard displays two odometer readings: one long and one short. The long number represents the total kilometers, which cannot be manually altered and only increases as the vehicle is driven. The short number can be manually reset and is used for counting kilometers, such as the distance from one province to another. There is a control button to reset it to zero and start counting again, which explains the presence of two mileage readings—a very user-friendly feature.

How long does it take to clear the violation status after handling it on 12123?

On the official website of 12123, it takes at least three working days to clear the violation status after handling a traffic violation. After paying the fine for the violation on 12123 and seeing that the processing is completed, generally speaking, due to the delay in the traffic management system's violation query, it takes some time for the system to synchronize after handling the violation. Therefore, it takes at least three working days to clear the status. The elimination of violation records is transmitted through the internal network of the traffic police system, and the data transmission is not necessarily real-time. Therefore, it may take three to five working days after payment for the violation record to be cleared on the external network. Just wait patiently. If it is a local violation record, after paying the fine, the status of the driver and the motor vehicle will be restored to normal in the system of the public security traffic police department. The internet query system is generally updated once a week. If it is a violation record from another location, it will take longer to clear the record after paying the fine. Although the 12123 official website is convenient, there are sometimes issues such as duplicate violation records and untimely processing of violation data. It is recommended to go to the vehicle management office or traffic police team for more stable processing.

What is the difference between Castrol Magnetec and Castrol Edge?

Castrol Magnetec is a semi-synthetic oil, while Castrol Edge is a fully synthetic oil. The specific differences between the two are as follows: 1. In terms of base oil, Magnetec's base oil is made from hydrotreated Group III oil, while the 0W series of Castrol Edge has 100% Group IV base oil, and the 5W series uses a blend of Group IV and hydro-cracked Group III base oils. 2. From the engine's perspective, Castrol Edge provides comprehensive engine protection, with API/viscosity grades of SN/0W-40, SN/5W-40, SN/5W-30, and SN/10W-60. Below is additional information: 1. How to choose engine oil. When selecting engine oil, the main consideration should be its viscosity index. Speed, engine load level, and temperature are the three main factors in choosing viscosity. The higher the speed, the lower the viscosity oil you should choose; the higher the load, the higher the viscosity oil you should choose; and the higher the temperature, the higher the viscosity oil you should choose. 2. How to identify engine oil quality. The quality of engine oil depends on: base oil and additives. The quality of the base oil depends on: crude oil source and refining technology, as well as synthetic process technology.

What does the dashboard icon of a little person holding a ball mean?

This icon is the airbag indicator light. If it stays lit after the car is started, it indicates a fault in the airbag system or that the airbag has been deployed before, requiring replacement at a 4S shop. The airbag is a passive safety protection system, used in conjunction with seat belts. Both airbags and seat belts provide effective collision protection for passengers. Experiments have shown that in the event of a collision, airbags can reduce head injuries by 25% and facial injuries by about 80%. The airbag inflates in just 0.03 seconds during a collision. When a passenger's head contacts the airbag, it begins to deflate through vents, ensuring a gradual deceleration of the passenger's body. Typically, cars are equipped with one airbag each for the driver and front passenger to protect them in the event of a severe impact, providing effective protection for the head and chest. The principle of the car airbag is: the sensor system continuously sends speed change information to the control unit, which analyzes and evaluates this data. Precautions for using airbags include: airbags must be used in conjunction with seat belts; maintain an appropriate distance from the airbag while seated; do not place objects in front of, above, or near the airbag; and maintain good driving habits to ensure a safe distance between the chest and the steering wheel.
