The spare tire of the Ford Edge is located under the trunk cover. Simply open the trunk cover and take it out. Precautions for using the spare tire are as follows: 1. Regularly inspect the spare tire. During routine maintenance or before long-distance 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 if the tread wears down to the wear indicator line. If there are fine cracks on the tire sidewall, avoid using it for long-distance or high-speed driving, as the sidewall is thinner and prone to blowouts at high speeds. 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. If the tire gets contaminated with oil, promptly wash it off with a neutral detergent. 3. The lifespan of a spare tire is about 4 years. Since tires are rubber products, prolonged storage can lead to aging. Generally, the aging period for tires is about 4 years, so the spare tire should be replaced after this period.

What is the difference between 5W-30 and 5W-40 engine oil?

5W-30 and 5W-40 engine oils mainly differ in the following aspects: 1. 5W-40 oil provides better protection for the engine under high-temperature conditions compared to 5W-30. 2. 5W-40 has slightly higher viscosity than 5W-30. Due to its greater viscosity, the resistance to crankshaft rotation increases, making 5W-40 less fuel-efficient. Additional information: 1. Both 5W-30 and 5W-40 are SAE standard viscosity grades for engine oil. The first number indicates the lowest temperature at which the oil can be used. 2. The second number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. A higher number indicates greater viscosity, better protective performance under high temperatures, and improved stability in high-temperature conditions.

Should the Steering Wheel Be Straightened After Parking the Car?

After parking the car, the steering wheel should be straightened. If not, it can have the following impacts: 1. Damage to the steering system. If the steering wheel is not straightened when parking, the wheels will pull the steering tie rod, preventing it from returning to its original position. At the same time, the steering wheel's gears and the tie rod's rack will remain under stress. Over time, this can accelerate aging or deformation, leading to vehicle misalignment and uneven tire wear. 2. Damage to the suspension system. When the steering wheel is not straightened, many car models' wheels will develop an angle, causing the suspension system to tilt in one direction. This places stress on components like the elastic struts, rubber seals, and rubber damping pads in the suspension system, preventing them from returning to their normal positions. This can lead to accelerated aging of the suspension's damping rubber, and excessive play in the connection points of the suspension's control arms and links, creating a vicious cycle of increasing wear. 3. Damage to the tires. When the steering wheel is not straightened, due to the kingpin inclination angle and the design of passenger car tire camber, the tire does not rest entirely on the tread but instead bears force on the shoulder and part of the tread. This puts significant pressure on the tire's sidewalls. Since the sidewalls are relatively thin, frequent unbalanced stress can accelerate their aging and deformation, potentially leading to air leaks or blowouts.

What to Do If There Is No Option to Submit Driver's License Photo on 12123?

You need to first go to the hospital to submit a physical examination certificate. After the hospital uploads it, click on license renewal, and there will be an option for expiration renewal. The function to change the photo is indeed not available; the new license will still have the old photo. Related information on renewing the driver's license is as follows: 1. Renewing the motor vehicle driver's license: You need to provide a photo for the motor vehicle driver's license and a physical condition certificate of the motor vehicle driver. Then, you can renew the motor vehicle driver's license through the 12123 mobile app. After renewal, you can choose to pick it up at the vehicle management office or have it mailed. 2. Renewal time: You can renew it up to three months in advance. During this period, renewing the motor vehicle driver's license is not a problem. Note that the driver's license allows for early renewal but must not be delayed. Once the delay exceeds three years, the motor vehicle driver's license will be invalidated, and you will lose the driving qualification. To drive again, you will need to reapply.

Why Does the Engine Stall at Idle?

Here are the reasons why the engine stalls at idle: 1. Circuit failure: The engine stalls due to low-voltage power failure while driving. A short circuit in the low-voltage circuit causes intermittent stalling. Check the vehicle's low-voltage circuit, ignition and starter switch, and fuse box. 2. Component failure: Usually related to the ignition coil, capacitor, or electronic ignition module. The engine may start initially but stall after a while, then restart and stall again. 3. Fuel system failure: Damaged fuel pump, cracked fuel line, clogged carburetor fuel inlet, or empty fuel tank. In such cases, the car is difficult to restart. 4. Ignition system: Engine overheating or issues with the anti-explosion system can also cause stalling.

How to activate the anti-pinch function for all four windows?

The anti-pinch function for windows is automatically enabled. When the window encounters an obstacle while rising, it will automatically retract to the bottom to prevent accidents. Many window anti-pinch systems use Hall sensors to determine the position of the glass. If an obstruction is detected during the window's ascent, the power window will immediately stop rising and retract to the bottom, achieving the anti-pinch function. The working principle of the window anti-pinch function is as follows: 1. Introduction one: The anti-pinch feature involves installing a current sensor, where the Hall sensor continuously monitors the motor's speed. When the power window rises and the motor's speed decreases. 2. Introduction two: When the Hall sensor detects a change in speed, it reports the information to the ECU. The ECU then sends a command to the relay, causing the current to reverse, which stops or reverses the motor, thereby stopping or lowering the window. This provides a certain degree of anti-pinch functionality.
