Generally, a non-full-size spare tire is a true emergency tire and should not be relied upon for extended use. The recommended speed is below 50 km/h, and the distance should be approximately 20 to 30 kilometers. It is best to repair the main tire as soon as possible and replace it, returning the spare tire to its proper storage location. Precautions for using a spare tire are as follows: 1. Regularly inspect the spare tire. During routine maintenance or before long trips, few car owners check the spare tire, and some unprofessional repair shops often overlook this. Spare tire inspection mainly involves checking tire pressure, wear, and cracks. Replace the tire as soon as possible once the tread wear reaches the wear indicator line. 2. Do not store oil products with the spare tire. The main component of tires is rubber, which is most vulnerable to erosion by various oil products. Car owners often store lubricants and other oil products in the trunk. If these oils come into contact with the tire, they can cause swelling and corrosion, significantly reducing the tire's lifespan. 3. The lifespan of a spare tire is about 4 years. Tires are rubber products, and prolonged storage can lead to aging. The aging period for tires is generally around 4 years, so the spare tire should be replaced after 4 years.

Regarding the usage distance of the Mazda Atenza's spare tire, I'd like to share my understanding. The spare tire is primarily for emergency use, not as a regular tire, and it's one size smaller than the original tires. The manufacturer recommends not exceeding 80 km/h, but there's no specific number for how many kilometers it can run. Based on my experience, in urban areas, you should replace it after driving at most 50 kilometers, and on highways, you need to be even more cautious—ideally, deal with it within 30 kilometers. Non-full-size spare tires have poor grip and load-bearing capacity. Driving for extended periods can wear out suspension components and may even lead to sudden deflation. Once, my friend drove over 100 kilometers with it, and the differential started making strange noises. Remember, never use a spare tire for long-distance travel. After changing the tire, head to a repair shop immediately to fix the original tire. After all, safety is no small matter.

Will running a yellow light be captured by cameras?

In reality, the electronic police surveillance system at intersections that captures drivers' traffic violations starts operating 2 seconds after the yellow light turns on, rather than waiting for the yellow light to turn off before initiating the capture. Typically, the yellow light remains on for 3 seconds. Therefore, if a driver runs the yellow light while the surveillance system is already active, it will be captured. Here are the relevant details: 1. Determination of running a yellow light: Drivers should decelerate when approaching a yellow light. Vehicles that accelerate are suspected of trying to beat the yellow light. If any part of the vehicle has crossed the stop line when the yellow light turns on, the vehicle can continue to pass and will not be considered as running the yellow light. However, if the vehicle continues to move forward without any part having crossed the stop line, it will be deemed as running the yellow light. 2. Penalties for running a yellow light: The penalty for running a yellow light is the same as for running a red light: a fine of 200 yuan. According to the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Violations," driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal lights will result in 6 penalty points. Therefore, drivers should always pay attention to changes in traffic signals, control their vehicles promptly, and avoid committing traffic violations.

Can Yellow Label Vehicles Enter the City?

Yellow label vehicles are not allowed to enter urban areas. Here is an introduction to yellow label vehicles: 1. Yellow Label Vehicles: These are high-pollution emission vehicles, referring to vehicles with large emissions, high concentrations, and poor emission stability, which do not even meet the National I emission standards for gasoline vehicles. 2. Types of Environmental Labels: Based on the vehicle model and the results of the tailpipe emission environmental inspection, vehicles are classified into two types: green environmental labels and yellow environmental labels. Below is additional information on yellow label vehicles: 1. Yellow Label Vehicles: This term collectively refers to gasoline vehicles whose emission levels at the time of new vehicle registration are below the National I emission standard and diesel vehicles below the National III emission standard. Such in-use vehicles can be driven on the road after passing periodic environmental inspections and meeting the relevant in-use vehicle emission standards, receiving a yellow environmental inspection label. 2. Environmental Label Inspection Pass: Commonly known as the "environmental label," vehicles that pass the inspection receive either a green or yellow label, referred to as "green label vehicles" or "yellow label vehicles." Gasoline vehicles that meet the National I standard or above and diesel vehicles that meet the National III standard or above receive a green environmental label, while all other vehicles receive a yellow environmental label.

Do shock absorbers need to be replaced in pairs when leaking oil?

When replacing shock absorbers, it is necessary to replace two at a time. This is because replacing only one can lead to uneven balance and force distribution in the vehicle, causing the shock absorbers to bear different loads, which may result in safety issues. Here are some related details: 1. The function of shock absorbers: Automotive shock absorbers are connected between the wheel chassis and the vehicle body frame. They absorb vibrations when the vehicle encounters bumps and also provide stability during cornering. 2. The hazards of shock absorber oil leakage: Oil leakage in a car's shock absorber indicates damage. The damping effect will gradually decrease, and over time, once the oil inside the shock absorber is completely leaked, it will lose its damping function. Therefore, shock absorbers with oil leaks need to be replaced promptly. 3. Symptoms of shock absorber oil leakage: Any leakage or reduction of the internal oil in the shock absorber will affect its damping force. The main symptoms noticed in the driver's compartment include a softer vehicle suspension, and possibly looseness and unusual noises. On larger potholed roads, the shock absorber is also highly likely to be damaged due to bottoming out.

How long after paying the vehicle purchase tax can you license your car?

After paying the vehicle purchase tax, you must license your car within 15 days. Here is some related information about the vehicle purchase tax:1. Legal provisions related to the vehicle purchase tax: According to Article 13 of the "Interim Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Vehicle Purchase Tax" (State Council Order No. 294), "Taxpayers who purchase taxable vehicles for personal use shall declare and pay taxes within 60 days from the date of purchase; for imported taxable vehicles for personal use, taxes shall be declared and paid within 60 days from the date of import; for self-produced, donated, awarded, or otherwise acquired taxable vehicles for personal use, taxes shall be declared and paid within 60 days from the date of acquisition. The vehicle purchase tax shall be paid in one lump sum.2. Scope of taxation: The tax law stipulates that the scope of the vehicle purchase tax includes cars, motorcycles, electric vehicles, trailers, and agricultural transport vehicles. Currently, China implements a unified proportional tax rate for the vehicle purchase tax, which is 10% (but not lower than the minimum taxable price stipulated by the State Administration of Taxation).

What are the vision requirements for obtaining a driver's license?

During the driver's license medical examination, the vision requirements vary depending on the type of license. Generally, for a Class C driver's license, the applicant must have a naked or corrected vision of 4.9 or above in both eyes. For a Class A or B driver's license, the vision requirement is 5.0 or above in both eyes. If the vision does not meet the standard, it can be corrected to the required level, such as by wearing glasses or contact lenses. In addition to meeting the vision requirements, there are also certain color vision requirements for drivers. Applicants cannot be red-green colorblind, as this condition severely affects their ability to distinguish traffic light colors while driving, increasing the risk of accidents. If an applicant has visual impairment in one eye and cannot achieve the standard corrected vision, they can still apply for a motor vehicle driver's license as long as the other eye has a vision of 5.0 and the horizontal vision of the impaired eye reaches 150 degrees.

What are the reasons why the Magotan cannot start?

The Magotan may fail to start due to various reasons. Below is a detailed introduction to the reasons why the Magotan cannot start: 1. Smart key battery dead: When the smart key of the vehicle runs out of battery, the key's transmission power is low, making it difficult for the in-car sensor to detect the corresponding signal, thus preventing the one-button start from completing the ignition. 2. Gear not in P position: For automatic transmission vehicles, manufacturers generally specify in the manual that the gear must be in the P position before starting. 3. Steering wheel locked: The steering wheel lock is an anti-theft feature. In the locked state, the one-button start function cannot complete the ignition. 4. Insufficient battery voltage, dead battery, or battery damage: When the vehicle is used for a long time without timely charging, the battery may run out of power, leading to failure to start normally.
