Installing a roof rack on a car requires applying for approval and modification procedures at the relevant vehicle management office within 10 days after the modification. Otherwise, it will be considered illegal modification. Below are the relevant regulations for modification: 1. Article 54 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states that the load carried by a motor vehicle shall not exceed the approved load capacity specified in the vehicle's license, and the length and width of the load shall not exceed the dimensions of the vehicle body. 2. For heavy and medium-duty trucks and semi-trailers, the height of the load from the ground shall not exceed 4 meters, and for vehicles carrying containers, the height shall not exceed 4.2 meters. 3. For other motor vehicles carrying loads, the height from the ground shall not exceed 2.5 meters. 4. For motorcycles, the height of the load from the ground shall not exceed 1.5 meters, and the length shall not exceed the body by 0.2 meters. For two-wheeled motorcycles, the width of the load on each side shall not exceed the handlebars by 0.15 meters. 5. For three-wheeled motorcycles, the width of the load shall not exceed the body. Passenger cars are not allowed to carry goods except for the external roof rack and built-in luggage compartment. The height of the load on the roof rack of a passenger car shall not exceed 0.5 meters from the roof or 4 meters from the ground.

What are the techniques for stopping at a fixed point on a ramp with a 30cm distance?

Before going up the ramp, align the car body to avoid adjusting on the slope, as it's easy to cross the 30cm line. Then proceed slowly up the ramp. When the right 1/3 position of the car aligns with the yellow edge line on the ramp, the distance between the right wheel and the yellow line will be exactly 30cm. When the lower edge of the left rearview mirror aligns with the second thick yellow solid line (pole line), you can press the brake and clutch to stop. Then, you need to complete the starting action within 30 seconds. Release the clutch steadily, wait for the car body to shake for 3 seconds, then release the handbrake, clutch, and brake.

Where to Get a Car Remote Key Made?

Call the 4S shop or emergency hotline for assistance, or visit a key-making store for unlocking services. The service station will require the vehicle and the owner's identification documents. The owner must provide valid documents for both the vehicle and themselves to enable the service station to retrieve the key bitting number from the database. Depending on the vehicle model, the service station may require the owner to provide a 17-digit anti-theft code for key duplication. The key code will then be replicated to create a new car key. Vehicle locks can be replaced upon request. Replacing all locks on the vehicle will involve more components and consequently higher costs.
