A wheel with a -12 offset extends the tire outward by 1.2 centimeters. Below is relevant information about wheels: 1. Introduction: A wheel hub is the rotating part that connects the tire's inner rim to the wheel's core via spokes, i.e., the metal component mounted on the axle that supports the tire. It is also called a wheel rim, steel rim, or simply a rim. Wheel hubs come in various types based on diameter, width, manufacturing method, and material. 2. Types of Wheel Hubs: Wheel hubs are also known as wheel rims. Depending on the characteristics and requirements of different vehicle models, the surface treatment processes for wheel hubs vary, mainly categorized into painting and plating. For ordinary vehicle models, less emphasis is placed on the appearance of the wheel hubs, with good heat dissipation being a basic requirement. The process typically involves painting, where the hub is first sprayed and then baked, offering a cost-effective solution with vibrant colors and long-lasting durability. Even when the vehicle is scrapped, the color of the wheel hub remains unchanged.

What does 'lim' mean on the car dashboard?

The 'lim' on a car indicates that the speed limit function is activated. When the vehicle is stationary, pressing it once will default the speed limit to 30. While driving, pressing it once will record the current speed as the trigger point for the speed limit. There are two methods to activate it: 1. When the vehicle is stationary, pressing it once will default the speed limit to 30. 2. While driving, pressing it once will record the current speed as the trigger point for the speed limit. For example, when driving on a road with a speed limit of 60, pressing it once when the speed is between 58-65 will set the limit. If the vehicle speed exceeds this value, a warning will appear on the dashboard. Pressing LIM once more will deactivate the function.

What are the deduction rules for Manual Transmission Subject 2?

General deductions: Not wearing a seatbelt, not closing the car door properly, and not having the gear in neutral when starting the engine all result in a 100-point deduction. Parallel parking: If the vehicle body crosses the line after stopping in the parking space, or if the completion time exceeds 90 seconds, a 100-point deduction is applied. Failing to use or incorrectly using the turn signal when exiting the parking space also results in a 100-point deduction. Turn signal deductions: Not using the turn signal, using it for less than three seconds, forgetting to turn it off, or using it incorrectly, as well as stalling the engine, all result in a 10-point deduction each. Boundary line deductions: If the vehicle body touches the parking space line or the wheels touch the lane boundary line while driving, a 10-point deduction is applied each time. Stopping for more than 2 seconds during the process results in a 5-point deduction each time. Reverse parking: If the completion time exceeds 210 seconds, not following the prescribed route or sequence, not driving the front wheels over the control line before reversing, or failing to complete the reverse parking all result in a 100-point deduction. Mid-process deductions: Stopping for more than 2 seconds results in a 5-point deduction each time. Curve driving: If the wheels press against the edge line or the vehicle stops for more than 2 seconds, a 100-point deduction is applied.

How Many Retake Opportunities Are There for Motorcycle Tests?

Motorcycle tests allow for five retake opportunities. If the fifth scheduled test is still failed, the passing scores of other subjects will be invalidated. Each subject can be tested once, with one retake opportunity if failed. If the applicant does not attend the retake or fails the retake, the current test session will be terminated. The applicant must reschedule the test, but for Subject 2 and Subject 3, the rescheduling must be done at least ten days later. If the Subject 3 Safe and Civilized Driving Knowledge test is failed, the passing score of the road driving skills test remains valid. The motorcycle test consists of three subjects: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving). Motorcycle Subject 1 Test Content: Road traffic rules, traffic signals, handling of traffic violations and accidents, regulations on motor vehicle driver's license application and use, motor vehicle registration, and other road traffic safety laws, regulations, and rules. Motorcycle Subject 2 Test Content: Includes three-wheeled vehicles, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, and light motorcycles for pole tests, hill-start and stop, and single-plank bridge crossing.

Can Engine Oil Catch Fire?

Under normal circumstances, engine oil will not burn when exposed to an open flame without any attached flammable materials. Here is some additional information: Detailed Explanation of Engine Oil Properties: Engine oil itself is flammable. If combined with other flammable substances, it can easily catch fire. Therefore, for safety reasons, it is best to avoid exposing engine oil to open flames. The boiling point of engine oil is generally around 150°C, and its flash point should be 20-30°C higher than its operating temperature. The choice of engine oil should be based on the operating temperature, as not all vehicle models operate under the same conditions. For engine oils with the same viscosity, a higher flash point indicates lower volatility, ensuring that the oil is less likely to catch fire even at higher temperatures. Conversely, if the flash point is too low, it may pose a potential safety hazard. Usage Recommendations: For safety, it is advisable to avoid exposing engine oil to open flames. Engine oil, also known as motor lubricant, serves multiple functions in an engine, including lubrication, reducing friction, aiding in cooling, sealing against leaks, preventing rust and corrosion, and cushioning shocks. Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary constituent of lubricants, determining their fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and enhance the shortcomings of the base oil, providing additional performance benefits and making them an essential part of lubricants.

Does Engine Knocking Need Repair?

Engine knocking needs repair. Here are the methods to avoid it: 1. Avoid lugging the engine: Driving at high gear with low speed can easily increase engine load, thereby advancing the ignition timing. Since the engine is in a higher gear, the RPM does not increase significantly, making knocking more likely to occur. 2. Regular maintenance at 4S shops: Regular maintenance at 4S shops, including cleaning the fuel system and injectors, removing engine carbon deposits, and changing engine oil, is a way to keep the engine in good condition. 3. Avoid overheating: Regularly check the coolant level, inspect and change the engine oil, avoid prolonged aggressive driving, and frequently monitor the water temperature during summer driving. 4. Use high-quality fuel additives appropriately: Some high-quality fuel additives available on the market can also help mitigate engine knocking to a certain extent.
