Aligning the timing primarily involves the marks on the camshaft and crankshaft, while the timing marks on the flywheel also serve as a reference for timing alignment. Below are the relevant details: 1. Specific Method: Aligning the timing mainly focuses on the marks on the camshaft and crankshaft, with the timing marks on the flywheel also being a basis for timing alignment. For the new Santana, the timing mark aligns when the camshaft is turned to the 12 o'clock position, matching the notch on the cover, while the crankshaft aligns at the 6 o'clock position with the crankshaft locating pin facing upward. 2. Configuration: The all-new Excelle places a strong emphasis on safety features, with standard equipment across the range including six airbags, a power sunroof, rear parking sensors, OnStar full-time online assistant, and in-car 4G-LTE-Wi-Fi. The top-tier model also features a 4.2-inch color LCD instrument panel, keyless entry + one-button start, remote engine start, a tire pressure monitoring system, heated exterior mirrors, a center armrest box, and a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel.

How Long Do Snow Tires Last?

Snow tires generally have a lifespan of 3-4 years or 50,000-60,000 kilometers. Classification of Snow Tires: Based on anti-skid performance for road surfaces, winter tires are divided into three types: serrated surface tires, snow tires, and studded tires. Advantages of Snow Tires: Snow tires use a special compound to increase friction with snow and ice-covered roads. Their benefits include improved traction and safety on snowy and icy surfaces. The tread material of snow tires is softer, and the carefully formulated silica-mixed rubber compound allows for better contact with slippery ice, generating more friction than all-season tires. This enhances the vehicle's handling and safety on icy surfaces.

What is the Difference Between Wheel Alignment and Wheel Balancing?

Here are the differences between wheel alignment and wheel balancing: Different Functions: Wheel alignment involves inspecting and adjusting the vehicle's driving trajectory, including adjustments to the suspension, chassis, and other components; wheel balancing simply evens out the mass distribution of the wheel to make it rotate more smoothly. Different Responsibilities: Wheel alignment adjusts the data for all four wheels; wheel balancing involves adding counterweights to each wheel. Different Definitions: Front wheel alignment includes four aspects: caster angle, kingpin inclination angle, camber angle, and toe-in. Rear wheel alignment includes camber angle and individual rear wheel toe-in. Collectively, front and rear wheel alignment is referred to as wheel alignment, commonly known as four-wheel alignment. Wheel balancing refers to the balance between wheels during vehicle operation. Balancing weights are added because the mass distribution of each tire cannot be perfectly uniform during manufacturing.

How many months can a driver's license be overdue at most?

A driver's license that has been expired for more than three years will be invalid. Motor vehicle drivers should apply for a license renewal at the vehicle management office of the driver's license issuing authority within 90 days before the expiration of their motor vehicle driver's license. The license can be renewed if it has been expired for less than one year. Handling methods for overdue driver's licenses: If a driver's license has not been reviewed for more than one year but less than two years, the holder needs to retake the subject one exam and pass it before renewing the license. If a driver's license has not been reviewed for more than two years, the holder must return to the driving school to study and pass all three subject exams to obtain a new driver's license. Location for driver's license renewal: Driver's license renewal is processed at the vehicle management office. If the license has been expired for more than two years, passing the subject one exam can restore the normal use of the driver's license.

Does the Electronic Inspection Mark Renew Automatically Upon Expiry?

Electronic inspection marks renew automatically upon expiry. During the six-year exemption period, the system will automatically update the validity of the inspection compliance mark every two years. For vehicles exempt from inspection within 6 years: Open the Traffic Management 12123 app, locate 'Apply for Inspection Mark for Exempt Vehicles' in the service center. After confirming the information is correct, obtain and enter the verification code, then submit to receive the motor vehicle inspection compliance mark, i.e., the electronic annual inspection mark. Function of the electronic inspection mark: The electronic annual inspection mark holds the same validity as the paper label. All functions previously associated with the paper annual inspection mark are also applicable to the electronic version. For instance, during traffic police enforcement checks, drivers can proactively present the electronic annual inspection mark. The police can then scan the QR code via their enforcement terminal to verify the inspection validity and vehicle status, and no penalties will be imposed for not displaying (or affixing) the inspection mark.

How Long is the Scoring Cycle for a Driver's License?

The scoring cycle is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driver's license is initially obtained. Scoring Cycle: The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driver's license is initially obtained, and so on in a continuous cycle. The clearance time for the driver's license is the issuance date on the license, and the system automatically clears the points on the issuance date each year. Notes on the Scoring Cycle: If you accumulate 12 points, you need to go to the vehicle management office where the driver's license was issued or to the vehicle management office where the violation occurred to participate in learning and pass the subject one test (if you accumulate 12 points twice in a row in one scoring cycle, you will need to take the subject three test after the additional test). Only after passing can the points be cleared. Otherwise, the driver's license cannot be used normally.
