At the position where lifting is needed, which is the side of the four tires closest to the person, lower the car jack. After all preparations are done, open the car jack, ensuring that the screw rod is in a horizontal state. Use it to pull the supports on both sides, while carefully observing the position and tightening the screw rod. After tightening the screw rod, the car jack can lift the vehicle. Once lifted, confirm again that there are no issues, then continue tightening the screw rod until the corresponding tire is lifted off the ground.

Every time before changing tires myself, I always carefully check if the ground is level—this is the most basic step. Firmly engage the handbrake and shift to 'P' gear position, placing the triangular warning sign at least 50 meters behind the car. Opening the Magotan's trunk mat reveals the jack and wrench; its lifting point is usually marked by an arrow under the door sill—never jack anywhere else. During operation, ensure the jack base is fully flat on the ground and rotate the handle with steady force. Raising the car about 1 cm is sufficient—never rush by cranking violently. Once lifted, never crawl under the car. After replacing the spare tire, slowly turn the jack counterclockwise to lower it, maintaining focus throughout the process.

What does ACC position mean?

The car ACC wire is located in the car's fuse box. Open the car's fuse box, turn off the power to the entire vehicle, and the dashboard will go dark. Locate the yellow fuse inside the fuse box and test it with the tip of an electric pen to check if the circuit has power. When the entire vehicle is powered on, if the yellow fuse on the electric pen lights up, it can be confirmed as the ACC wire. ACC wire function: The ACC wire is the power-on wire, meaning it connects to the ACC power wire controlled by the key. When the key is in the ACC position, i.e., when the ACC wire is connected, some of the vehicle's electrical devices, such as the radio and audio system, are powered on, but other components of the vehicle are not yet powered. ACC wire connection method: Locate the position of the car's ACC wire, then fix the daytime running lights in the corresponding position, and you can start the wiring process. Connect the black wire to the ground or the negative terminal of the battery; connect the red wire to the ACC relay; connect the two white wires to the headlight fuse; connect the two yellow wires (or one yellow and one green) to the positive terminal of the turn signal. After installing the wiring harness, recheck to ensure there are no loose connections.

What Causes an Automatic Transmission Car to Suddenly Shift Gears While Driving?

Automatic transmission cars may suddenly shift gears while driving because the driver did not fully engage the gear shift. Solution: Simply re-engage the gear shift. Introduction to Automatic Transmission Gears: The gear positions on an automatic transmission car, from top to bottom, are P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), S (Sport), and L (Low). Generally, cars with automatic transmissions adjust speed via the transmission control system, which automatically selects the appropriate gear based on engine speed and load, replacing the driver's subjective judgment of timing and gear shifting. Important Notes: For general driving needs, using only the P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), and D (Drive) gears is sufficient. However, in certain special driving conditions, other functional gears may be required.

How Often Should New Energy Vehicles Be Charged?

The frequency of charging a new energy vehicle depends on the amount of electricity consumed. Generally, it is most appropriate to charge when the battery level drops to around 70% in summer and 50% in winter. New energy vehicles can be charged in the following ways: Portable Charging Gun: Portable charging refers to using the portable charging cable that comes with the vehicle to connect to a standard household socket for charging. This is a very convenient method, as charging can be done wherever a socket is available. Home Charging Station: If you have a personal fixed parking space, you can choose to install a home charging station. However, having a charging station is not enough; you must obtain approval from the property management and pass the review by the power company before installation. Public Charging Station: Although home charging stations are great, many users cannot install them due to the lack of a fixed parking space or uncooperative property management. If a home charging station cannot be installed, you will have to rely on public charging stations. Public charging stations are usually built and maintained by power companies such as State Grid and Southern Grid.

What does the issuance date on the vehicle license mean?

The issuance date on the vehicle license refers to the date when the vehicle license (license plate issuance) was recorded and signed. The motor vehicle license is a legal document that permits the vehicle to be driven on roads within China. Motor vehicles without a license are not allowed to drive on Chinese roads. The vehicle license mainly consists of a main page and a supplementary page. The front page must include a photo of the vehicle to prove that the vehicle being driven matches the one in the photo on the license. The registration date on the vehicle license refers to the date when the corresponding information of the vehicle was recorded and signed in the computer registration system of the public security vehicle management office. Whether these two dates are the same or different, it will not affect the function of the vehicle license. The "Motor Vehicle License" records many important details, including the license plate number, owner's name, model type, engine number, chassis number, load capacity or passenger capacity, initial registration date, and annual inspection records. The "Motor Vehicle License" is unique, meaning that for a specific motor vehicle, there is only one set of engine and chassis numbers and only one license plate number. If you drive a motor vehicle on the road without obtaining a vehicle license or forget to carry it with you, this constitutes a violation and may result in penalties if discovered. Vehicle license processing locations: Embassies, consulates, and foreign-licensed vehicles should go to the vehicle management office for processing. Other motor vehicles should go to the branch office of the vehicle management office corresponding to the residential address listed in the identity proof of the vehicle owner. For motorcycles with Jing B license plates, three-wheeled vehicles, low-speed trucks, and wheeled self-propelled machinery registered in suburban or rural districts, processing should be done at the local district or county vehicle management station. Documents to be submitted: "Application Form for Replacement or Reissuance of Motor Vehicle License Plates"; Identity proof of the motor vehicle owner and the agent. If the motor vehicle license plate is illegible or one side is lost, the original plate must be returned. For reissuance of the motor vehicle license, a standard photo of the vehicle must also be submitted.

What are the differences between naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines after five years?

Here are the differences between naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines after five years: 1. Different working principles: 1. Naturally aspirated is a type of car intake that relies on atmospheric pressure to force air into the combustion chamber without any supercharger. 2. Turbocharged engines use a turbocharger to increase engine air intake. The turbocharger (Turbo) is essentially an air compressor that utilizes exhaust gases from the engine to drive the turbine in the turbine housing (located in the exhaust passage), which in turn drives the coaxial impeller. 2. Different levels of maturity: 1. In terms of maturity, naturally aspirated engines undoubtedly have an advantage. 2. In terms of maturity, turbocharged engines require an additional set of components, which introduces assembly and reliability challenges, making them slightly less mature.
