An ignition advance angle of 20 degrees is not normal. Here are the relevant details: 1. 10°-15° is optimal: If the spark plug ignites before the piston reaches top dead center, then when the piston exactly reaches top dead center, the combustible gas mixture can immediately and completely burn (theoretically, the highest gas pressure occurs 10°-15° after the compression top dead center is optimal). This can greatly reduce the loss of gas thrust, thereby enhancing the engine's power output. 2. Note: This means that before the engine piston reaches the compression top dead center, the spark plug must fire in advance. The angle through which the crankshaft rotates from the moment the spark plug fires until the piston reaches the compression top dead center is called the ignition advance angle.

Is it possible to buy points for a driver's license now?

Buying or selling points for a driver's license is illegal. Once discovered, severe penalties will be imposed. Below are specific details about driver's licenses: 1. Classification: The Ministry of Public Security officially issued the "Regulations on the Business Operations of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," introducing a grading system for motor vehicle driver's licenses. Licenses are divided into 15 categories: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, D, E, F, M, N, and P. 2. Renewal Rules: If a motor vehicle driver does not accumulate 12 or more points in any scoring period during the six-year validity of the license, the license can be renewed for a ten-year validity period. If the driver does not accumulate 12 or more points in any scoring period during the ten-year validity, the license can be renewed for a long-term validity. 3. Content: A motor vehicle driver's license records the holder's ID number, name, gender, date of birth, permanent address, nationality, permitted (learning) vehicle type code, initial issuance date, validity period, and management records, along with the issuing authority's seal, file number, and the holder's photo. The design of the motor vehicle driver's license is specified by the Ministry of Public Security.

Where can I check if a used car has any problems?

For used cars, you can check at the traffic management department's violation processing center or the specialized website of the vehicle management office, the online vehicle management office. If you want to check the vehicle's accident history, the best way is to go to the insurance company where the car was insured. Below are methods to check if a used car has been in an accident: 1. Check the glass production date: You can look at the production date of the glass, as normally the glass would not be replaced. The glass date is usually in the format of numbers + dots, where the numbers represent the year and the dots represent the month. 2. Check the wear and tear of the frame: If the car has been in a major accident, the body frame will have varying degrees of dents and misalignment. Therefore, you can determine if the car has been in a major accident by examining the wear and tear of the frame. 3. Check the screws: You can inspect the screws on the hood, the screws on the radiator support, and the connecting screws on the doors. If any of these screws show abnormalities, it is almost certain that the vehicle has been in a major accident. 4. Check the maintenance records: You can visit a 4S shop to check the maintenance records. Any accident car that has been serviced at a 4S shop will have system records there.

What type of engine oil is used in the GAC Honda Haoying?

Both the Honda Haoying 1.5T and 2.0 models use 0W20 (4L) fully synthetic engine oil, with a replacement interval of 5,000 kilometers. The method for selecting engine oil is as follows: 1. Naturally aspirated engines: These engines have lower requirements for engine oil and can use mineral or semi-synthetic oil. If the budget allows, fully synthetic oil can be used. 2. Turbocharged engines and naturally aspirated engines: Their engine structures are more precise, operating conditions are more demanding, and they require higher-performance engine oil with better fluidity, preferably fully synthetic oil. 3. Viscosity: For viscosity selection, 5W is generally sufficient in winter for most regions, but in some northern areas (such as Heilongjiang), 0W is recommended for better low-temperature fluidity to adapt to local environmental conditions. 4. High-temperature viscosity: For high-temperature viscosity, 30 is typically used. However, if driving frequently in congested areas, for older vehicles, or for heavy-duty vehicles in long-distance transport, the lubricant viscosity can be appropriately increased, such as using 0W40 oil.

Can You Make a Left Turn from a Non-Motorized Vehicle Lane?

You cannot make a left turn from a non-motorized vehicle lane. Non-motorized vehicles should make a right-angled turn in two stages by dismounting and pushing the vehicle within the crosswalk. This is the safest way to cross the street, as non-motorized vehicles are legally treated as pedestrians in this scenario, requiring them to dismount and push. Legally, non-motorized vehicles are considered personal luggage. Additionally, from a safety perspective, riding a bicycle within the crosswalk can endanger pedestrians and affect the judgment of motorists. Below is an introduction to traffic signals: 1. Function of traffic signals: Traffic signals are lights that direct traffic flow, typically consisting of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light means stop, a green light means go, and a yellow light serves as a warning. 2. Classification of traffic signals: Traffic signals include motor vehicle signals, non-motorized vehicle signals, pedestrian crosswalk signals, directional indicator signals (arrow signals), lane signals, flashing warning signals, and railway crossing signals.

Does the Cadillac CT5 come with a spare tire?

Cadillac CT5 does not come with a spare tire, and it needs to be equipped at a 4S store. A spare tire can be used as a normal tire, but it is actually for emergency use and not for long-term use. Regardless of whether the spare tire is wide or narrow, manufacturers generally have special production and usage requirements. Classification of spare tires: Spare tires can be divided into full-size spare tires and non-full-size spare tires. A full-size spare tire means its specifications are exactly the same as the original tires installed on the vehicle, and its grip and driving stability are very close to those of the original tires. Therefore, it can replace any temporarily or permanently unusable tire. Disadvantages of spare tires: The disadvantage of a full-size spare tire is that its size is larger than that of a non-full-size spare tire, thus occupying more space in the vehicle. As for non-full-size spare tires, their diameter and width are slightly smaller than those of the original tires, and their grip and driving stability are also slightly inferior. Therefore, they are only suitable for emergency use. Moreover, after use, the vehicle speed should not exceed 80 kilometers per hour.

Does the Corolla have an SUV model?

The Corolla does have an SUV model. Here are some relevant details about the Corolla: 1. Power: The overall power performance is good, with quick acceleration, though the initial start is relatively slow. The engine noise is minimal, with users noting that 'the sound is very quiet, and the interior noise is very low.' However, when driving over 80 km/h, the tire noise becomes more noticeable, leading some owners to opt for soundproofing modifications. The new dual VVT-i engine pairs perfectly with the CVT transmission, and the 2.0L engine offers ample power. The six-speed manual transmission is precise with clear gear engagement, though the four-speed transmission is somewhat outdated. 2. Handling: The overall driving experience is comfortable and stable, with users stating that 'it drives very smoothly, feeling even more stable at 120 km/h on highways.' However, the steering accuracy is somewhat low, and there is a noticeable jerking sensation, with some users reporting a tendency to veer. The noise levels are low, especially when idling, making it quite quiet. The suspension is tuned to be on the softer side, effectively absorbing road bumps for a comfortable ride, though the brakes are somewhat soft. Affected by Toyota's global recall incident, the 2011 Corolla comes standard with a brake override system, which has improved braking performance.
