In addition to using the key to open the trunk, the Ford Focus has a trunk release button in the multifunction button area on the left side of the steering wheel, making it convenient for the driver to operate. Similar to other models, there is also a trunk release button directly below the rear emblem. Here is some relevant information about the Ford Focus: 1. The new-generation 2020 Ford Focus is equipped with two engines: the 1.5L EcoBoost and the 1.5L Ti-VCT, both meeting the China VI emission standards. The 1.5L EcoBoost turbocharged dual-injection engine integrates over 20 cutting-edge technologies, including the PFDI dual-injection system and a low-inertia mixed-flow turbocharger, delivering a rated power of 174 horsepower and a maximum torque of 243N·m at 1750-4500 rpm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission for both powerful performance and fuel efficiency. The 1.5L Ti-VCT twin independent variable camshaft timing engine is matched with a 6-speed manual/automatic transmission, achieving a combined fuel consumption as low as 5.4L per 100 km. 2. The chassis of the new-generation 2020 Ford Focus has undergone race-level fine-tuning, featuring a lightweight suspension system, an SLA short-long arm blade rear independent suspension with an independent subframe, an EBD electronic brake-force distribution system, and an EPAS electric power-assisted steering system. Additionally, the vehicle body incorporates 33% boron steel, hot-formed components, laser welding technology, and other materials, achieving weight reduction while improving torsional rigidity by 20%.

I've been driving a Focus for several years, and opening the trunk is actually quite simple. The most commonly used method is the button on the remote key—just press it, and the trunk unlocks and pops open. There's also a control inside the car; there might be a switch near the driver's seat or on the center console—just press it. There's also a small button on the trunk lid itself—a light press will open it. If equipped with a physical keyhole, inserting and turning the key works too. Newer models might have a foot-sensing feature—just wave your foot under the rear bumper while carrying the key, and it opens automatically. I recommend regularly checking if the buttons are functioning properly to avoid getting stuck at a critical moment. If it won't open, first check if the key battery is dead or if a fuse has blown. Forcing it open can damage the door. Spraying some lubricant when cleaning the lock mechanism helps prevent rust and keeps operation smooth.

Do I Need to Change the Wheel Hubs When Rotating Tires?

Tire rotation does not require changing the wheel hubs. The principle of tire rotation: The working conditions and load of each tire are different. The rear wheels of a car bear more load than the front wheels, while during driving, the front wheels bear more load than the rear wheels. Since the driver's position is on the left, the speed when turning left is usually higher than when turning right, causing the right-side tires to endure greater pressure during left turns than the left-side tires. After driving a certain distance, the right edges of the right-side tires will experience more severe wear. Tire rotation methods include: 1. Forward cross rotation; 2. X-pattern rotation; 3. Modified X-pattern rotation; 4. Side-to-side rotation; 5. Non-directional tire rotation for bias-ply tires; 6. Radial tire rotation.

What does 92H in tires mean?

Tire marking 92H represents two specifications: the number 92 indicates the load index, meaning the tire can bear a maximum load of 630kg; the letter H denotes the speed rating, indicating the tire can support a maximum speed of 210km/h. Every tire is labeled with various parameters during production, such as tire size, load capacity, and maximum speed. Different letters on tires correspond to different speed capabilities. As one of the crucial components of a vehicle, tires directly contact the road surface and work in conjunction with the suspension system to absorb shocks during driving. They ensure good ride comfort and smooth driving performance, maintain excellent traction between wheels and road surfaces, and enhance the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capabilities.

Is the subject one test for a B2 license with 12 points deducted C1 or B2?

B2 license with 12 points deducted needs to be downgraded to a C1 motor vehicle driver's license. Within 30 days of the deduction, you must go to the vehicle management office to participate in the study of road traffic safety laws and regulations and take the test for downgrading the license to C1 subject one test. Calculation period: A violation point cycle is 12 months, calculated from the date of first issuance. Full 12 points deducted from the license: AB class licenses: If 12 points are deducted, the license is directly downgraded. Accumulating 12 points within a point cycle will result in the license being detained; within 15 days, you must go to the license issuance location or the location of the violation to participate in a 7-day study session; if the test is passed, the points will be cleared, and the motor vehicle driver's license will be returned; if the test is failed, you must continue to participate in the study and test; refusal to participate in the study or test will result in the public security traffic management department announcing the suspension of the motor vehicle driver's license.

Can a cut on the side of a tire be repaired?

A cut on the sidewall of a tire cannot be repaired; it depends on the depth of the cut. If the cut is deep, it is recommended to replace the tire immediately. Check the extent of damage: During the use of a car, the tires will inevitably suffer some damage. If the tire is damaged by a sharp object, it is necessary to check the extent of the injury. Generally speaking, most cars use radial tires, which have a relatively simple internal structure. Although a scratch on the sidewall may not cause a blowout, the tire should not be used for a long time after being damaged. It is recommended that car owners replace the tire immediately. Tires are made of rubber: Car tires are made of rubber, and the rubber layer has a certain thickness. However, the sidewall rubber is relatively thin, and its thickness is insufficient to provide adequate support for the tire, nor does it offer good protection. If the sidewall of the tire is damaged, it may affect the radial layer, which is the metal mesh inside the tire. If the metal mesh is significantly damaged, the structural integrity of the entire tire cannot be guaranteed. During high-speed driving, the tire may blow out, posing a threat to the safety of the occupants.

What to do if there is a cut on the tire?

Tire with a cut should be handled as follows: 1. If the scratch is caused by a blunt object, the surface will appear uneven, and there may be debris like small stones inside the scratch. In this case, it is recommended to visit a professional tire dealer for inspection to determine if it can be repaired; 2. If the tire is damaged by a sharp object, it is likely caused by sharp debris while driving. Such damage usually has a small cut surface but can be very deep. If the radial structure inside the tire is damaged, replacement is recommended. For radial tires, if obvious side scratches are visible to the naked eye, immediately replace with the spare tire and drive to a repair shop for a tire change. For bias-ply tires, due to their sturdy rubber and metal layers, if the scratch is not deep, it can be ignored or repaired. However, if the scratch is deep, replacement is still recommended.

How to adjust the brakes on a diesel vehicle with hydraulic brakes?

Hydraulic brakes on vehicles cannot be adjusted as they are a transmission system of oil pump pressure. The only requirement is to ensure sufficient brake fluid. To add brake fluid, follow these steps: 1. Open the driver's side door and pull the hood release lever located on the left side near the driver's leg. 2. Lift the engine hood upwards and secure it with the support rod. 3. Top up the specified brake fluid to the MAX level. Additional information: 1. The hydraulic brake system is simple in structure and requires minimal installation space, consisting only of the master cylinder, wheel cylinders, fluid reservoir, and connecting pipelines, without the need for additional auxiliary equipment. 2. Hydraulic brakes have a slightly slower response time but provide a gentler and less forceful braking action, whereas air brakes respond more quickly but deliver a harsher and more forceful braking effect.
