Use the tire wrench to loosen the lug nuts on the tire you wish to replace. 3. Use the vehicle's jack to lift the tire that needs changing until it is off the ground. 4. Remove the lug nuts, take off the old tire, and install the new one. The Magotan is a mid-size sedan produced by FAW-Volkswagen, with body dimensions of 4866mm in length, 1832mm in width, 1464mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2871mm.

I've changed the tires on my Magotan several times myself. My experience is: First, find a flat and safe place to park, engage the handbrake, turn off the engine, and place the warning triangle to prevent accidents. Second, use a wrench to loosen the tire bolts but don't remove them completely; loosen them diagonally to ensure balance. Third, align the jack with the support point under the car and slowly lift the body until the tire is off the ground, then fully remove the bolts. Fourth, take off the old tire and replace it with the spare or a new one, then hand-tighten the bolts. Fifth, after lowering the car, use the wrench to fully tighten the bolts in a star pattern. Take your time with the whole process and check that the torque is even to prevent wheel wobbling. I recommend always keeping a wrench and jack in the trunk and checking the spare tire pressure monthly to ensure it's ready when needed.

How Fine a Tube Can Pass Through the Fuel Tank Anti-Theft Screen?

Generally, a 1cm diameter flexible oil extraction tube can pass through the car fuel tank anti-theft screen. The fuel tank anti-theft screen refers to a new type of fuel tank that prevents fuel theft by ensuring that when the fuel tank cap is damaged, the suction tube cannot enter the interior of the fuel tank, and hard objects cannot damage the wire mesh through the curved part of the fuel filler neck. More related information is as follows: Anti-theft screen oil extraction: Method for extracting oil from the fuel tank anti-theft screen Open the engine hood and locate the gasoline pipes connecting the engine to the fuel tank. There are generally three pipes: one is the fuel supply pipe, which pumps gasoline from the fuel pump to the engine; another is the return pipe, which sends unused gasoline from the engine back to the fuel tank; and the third is the carbon canister pipe, which connects to the carbon canister to absorb gasoline vapors. If you can't distinguish them: If you can't tell them apart, it doesn't matter. Just remove all three pipes, extend them with plastic tubes to a container for holding gasoline, ensuring the connections are secure and leak-proof. Then, open the car's relay box, locate the fuel pump relay, remove the fuel pump relay and set it aside, and use a wire to short-circuit the two socket holes, 85 and 86, on the relay socket.

What is the ground clearance of the 2021 BMW X1?

The minimum ground clearance of the 2021 BMW X1 is 170 millimeters. The minimum ground clearance of the 2021 BMW X1 refers to the distance between the lowest point (excluding the wheels) and the supporting surface, which indicates the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as rocks and tree stumps without collision. A higher ground clearance generally improves off-road capability, but if the ground clearance of the 2021 BMW X1 is too high, it may reduce stability during high-speed driving. The 2021 BMW X1 is a compact SUV from BMW, with dimensions of 4565 mm in length, 1821 mm in width, and 1620 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2780 mm. It features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 140 PS and a maximum torque of 220 Nm. Generally, sedans have a ground clearance ranging from 110 mm to 150 mm, while SUVs typically have a ground clearance between 200 mm and 250 mm. However, the ground clearance of the 2021 BMW X1 is not static; it varies depending on the load condition. Therefore, changes in ground clearance should be considered based on the load status of the vehicle. When selecting a vehicle, ground clearance can be one of the reference factors. The choice depends on the intended use of the vehicle and the road conditions. For urban driving with well-paved roads, a vehicle with lower ground clearance may enhance stability and comfort. For long-distance travel or driving in areas with poor road conditions, a higher ground clearance is advisable to improve off-road performance and avoid underbody scrapes or damage.

Is the Subject 1 Driving Test Conducted on a Computer?

The Subject 1 test is a computer-based exam. The test duration is limited to 45 minutes. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," candidates can take the Subject 1 test twice on the same day. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, a free retake is allowed for the second attempt. If the second attempt also fails, the Subject 1 test is terminated, and the candidate must wait ten days before rescheduling. Subject 1, also known as the theoretical driving test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The test covers driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and other related knowledge. The Subject 1 test consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice and true/false questions, each worth 1 point, totaling 100 points. If a candidate answers 11 questions incorrectly, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject 1 Test Content: Driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; road traffic conditions and rules; road traffic safety violations and penalties; road traffic accident handling regulations; basic knowledge of motor vehicles; local regulations; knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 Test Notes: Candidates should dress appropriately for the test, no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the exam room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the instructions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in lockers before entering the exam room. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned seat and begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, a retake is available on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the test, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Unsigned reports are considered invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can reschedule the Subject 1 test. Each subject can be taken once, with one retake allowed if you fail. If you do not take the retake or fail it, the test is terminated, and you must reschedule. In contrast, Subjects 2 and 3 only allow five attempts. Subjects 2 and 3 must be rescheduled ten days later. If you fail the Subject 3 safe driving knowledge test, the passed road driving skills test results remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge test; Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills test; Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe driving knowledge test. The safe driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (under the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123) does not include Subject 4.

Can You Make a U-Turn on a Single Dashed Line?

You can make a U-turn on a single dashed line if there is no 'No U-turn' sign and it does not affect the normal flow of traffic. However, making a U-turn on a single solid line is not allowed and constitutes a traffic violation. According to the 'Road Traffic Safety Law,' violators will be fined 200 yuan and receive 3 penalty points. On long roads, there are usually white or yellow solid or dashed lines in the middle section or before intersections. U-turns are prohibited on any solid line. Cases where U-turns are allowed: Intersections with U-turn signs allow U-turns: If there is a clear U-turn sign at an intersection, you can make a U-turn. If there is a U-turn traffic light, follow its instructions. If there is no traffic light, make a U-turn only if it does not interfere with other vehicles or pedestrians. Intersections without explicit 'No U-turn' or 'No Left Turn' signs allow U-turns: If there is no explicit prohibition, you can make a U-turn. 'No explicit prohibition' means the intersection has no 'No U-turn' or 'No Left Turn' signs and no solid lines in the center. In such cases, you can safely make a U-turn. Yellow grid lines also allow U-turns: Yellow grid lines are no-parking zones marked at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary stops, important entrances, or other designated areas. Parking (including waiting at traffic lights) on these lines is a violation. Although stopping is prohibited, U-turns are allowed on yellow grid lines unless there is a central barrier. Yellow grid lines without barriers are equivalent to 'U-turn permitted.' Intersections with U-turn traffic lights: This is straightforward—if there is a U-turn light, you can only make a U-turn when it is green. When 'No Left Turn' and 'U-turn Permitted' signs coexist: U-turns are allowed, but left turns are prohibited. Note that 'No U-turn' is not the same as 'No Left Turn.' Things to note when making a U-turn at an intersection: Check road markings—if they are solid lines, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable spot. If there is a 'No Left Turn' sign, even without a 'No U-turn' sign, U-turns are not allowed at that intersection because U-turns inherently involve a left turn. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. If you are in the second left-turn lane, you cannot make a U-turn at that intersection. Always yield to oncoming traffic when making a U-turn. If you interfere with straight-moving vehicles, you will bear full responsibility for any accidents. Near intersection stop lines, lanes often have guiding arrows. The leftmost lane may not always have a left-turn arrow—some have straight arrows. Even without explicit 'No U-turn' signs, U-turns are not allowed in such lanes. Making a U-turn on a crosswalk is also a traffic violation.

Is running a red light captured from the rear or the front?

Running a red light is captured from the rear. Three photos are taken by an electronic camera to determine the violation: the first photo shows the vehicle crossing the stop line at the intersection, including the red light signal and license plate number; the second photo shows the vehicle completely crossing the stop line, including the red light signal and license plate number; the third photo shows the vehicle continuing to move, mainly by comparing the change in the vehicle's position from the second photo, including the red light signal and license plate number. Capturing these three photos confirms the vehicle ran a red light. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," running a red light is clearly defined. Article 26 states that traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to pass, and a yellow light serves as a warning. A red light is a traffic signal prohibiting passage, and driving through an intersection during a red light constitutes the traffic violation of running a red light. Here are some tips to avoid running a red light: Check the arrow light first, then the circular light: There are two types of traffic lights: arrow lights and circular lights. When an arrow light is present, check the arrow light first and then the circular light to avoid running a red light. Note: When encountering a circular red light, right turns are allowed; when encountering an arrow red light for right turns, right turns are prohibited, or it will be penalized as running a red light. Brake in time: When the red light turns on, ensure the front of the vehicle does not cross the stop line. If the front wheels accidentally cross, and the rear wheels follow, the electronic camera will capture it, resulting in a penalty for running a red light. If the front wheels have just crossed the stop line when the light turns red, do not proceed through the intersection; wait for the green light. Check the green light countdown before proceeding: When the green light flashes, if there is a countdown, use it to judge; if there is no countdown, and the vehicle is close to the intersection with high speed, it may proceed to avoid running a red light due to late braking. If the speed is slow and the vehicle is far from the intersection, brake immediately to avoid running a red light. Article 38 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states: When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to pass, but turning vehicles must not obstruct straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to pass. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from passing. At intersections without non-motorized vehicle or pedestrian signals, non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians should follow the motor vehicle signals. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may pass if they do not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians. Running a red light is not considered a violation under the following circumstances: Yielding to emergency vehicles: Yielding to ambulances, fire trucks, or other emergency vehicles. If captured by surveillance cameras while yielding, manual review will not record the act as running a red light. Even if recorded, you can apply for reconsideration at the traffic police department. Extreme weather: When visibility is very low, and even electronic police cannot clearly see the traffic lights, the evidence photos may be blurry. In such cases, mistakenly running a red light will not be penalized. Emergency situations: When transporting a critically ill patient to the hospital, running multiple red lights may occur. After delivering the patient, provide proof from the hospital or the person assisted to the traffic police for verification. If confirmed, the violation records can be cleared. If possible, calling an ambulance is recommended to avoid accidents caused by running red lights. Traffic police direction: During peak hours, traffic police may temporarily direct traffic at major intersections. Drivers should follow the traffic police's gestures. The traffic police department states that according to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," vehicles that have already crossed the stop line when the yellow light flashes may continue to pass. If the yellow light is already on and the vehicle continues to rush through, it will be considered running a red light if captured.
