The spare tire of the Leiling is not the same as the main tire. The spare tire is only for emergency temporary use and cannot be used as the main tire. Taking the 2021 Leiling as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4640mm, width 1780mm, height 1455mm, wheelbase 2700mm, and fuel tank capacity 50l. The 2021 Leiling is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 116ps and a maximum power of 85kw. It is paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission. The front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses an E-type multi-link independent suspension.

I usually drive a Toyota Levin to commute, and the spare tire is really not the same as the main tires. The main tires are of normal size, providing stable driving and good grip; the spare tire, on the other hand, is smaller, just a temporary emergency solution designed to save costs and reduce weight. I remember last year when I had a flat tire, after putting on the spare tire, I could only drive at a limited speed of 80 km/h, and it was extremely bumpy—I didn’t dare take it on the highway at all. If a main tire fails, replace it with the spare and get it fixed as soon as possible—don’t delay, because the spare has a short lifespan and prolonged use can easily lead to accidents. There’s also the issue of tire pressure; the spare tire has stricter requirements, so you need to check it frequently, otherwise, a leak halfway would be troublesome. Overall, don’t use the spare tire as a main tire—the safety risks are too high. It’s best to get it fixed at a repair shop within an hour.

As a frequent long-distance driver, I find the spare tire of the Leiling quite different from the main tires. The main tires are standard full-size designs, suitable for various road conditions; the spare tire, on the other hand, is usually a compact T-type tire with a smaller diameter and lighter weight. This difference makes tire changing easier but comes with limitations, such as being restricted to low-speed driving for only 50 to 80 kilometers. From experience, the spare tire needs to maintain higher air pressure but is prone to aging and may lose air over time if stored for long. Compared to the main tires, which are more reliable and can last for years, I always recommend switching back to a regular tire or purchasing a new main tire as soon as possible after using the spare—safety comes first. The spare tire is designed for convenience, but don’t rely on it. Checking tire conditions before long trips is always a good practice.

The spare tire is noticeably different from the main tires on the Leving. The main tires are full-size, providing a smooth ride for daily driving, while the spare is much smaller with a speed limit of 80 km/h for temporary use. From a safety perspective, the spare tire has shallow treads and weaker grip, making it prone to slipping in rainy conditions. Don't assume everything is fine once it's on; driving fast on highways can easily lead to loss of control. In practice, the spare tire's air pressure requirements are often overlooked. After a few uses, the spare tire is nearly due for replacement due to poor material durability. In short, the spare is only for emergencies; fixing the main tire is the most reliable solution.

For daily use, the spare tire of the Leiling is not the same as the main tires. The main tires are sturdy and durable, while the spare tire is compact and temporary. Common differences include smaller size and lower load capacity. The spare tire requires higher pressure, around 280 kPa, so don’t neglect regular checks. After installation, avoid driving too fast—exceeding 80 km/h poses significant risks. If stored long-term in the trunk, prevent air leakage by checking every three months. Maintenance advice: Act quickly when changing to the spare tire after a flat, then immediately visit a shop for repair or replacement of the main tire—the spare is not a permanent solution. Don’t confuse tire lifespans; main tires can last 50,000 km, while the spare won’t hold up long. Safety first—never overlook it.

Where is the car spark plug located?

Spark plugs in cars are generally located inside the engine cylinders. Here is some relevant information about spark plugs: The function of a spark plug is to introduce high-voltage current into the cylinder to generate an electric spark, which ignites the combustible gas mixture and maintains engine operation. It is important to note that high-power engines with large compression ratios typically use cold-type spark plugs with high heat values, while low-power engines with small compression ratios use hot-type spark plugs with low heat values. Generally, the selection of spark plugs is determined by the factory through product type testing and should not be changed arbitrarily.

Is High Engine Compartment Temperature Normal?

During operation, the engine generates a significant amount of heat, so a high temperature in the engine compartment is a normal phenomenon. More information about high engine compartment temperature is as follows: 1. After opening the engine hood on most cars, the exhaust manifold can be seen, which also heats up during operation. Therefore, a relatively high temperature in the engine compartment is normal. 2. After long-distance driving, you can open the engine hood to help dissipate heat. Most performance cars have cooling vents on the engine hood to quickly remove heat from the engine compartment. 3. If the engine compartment becomes excessively hot, it can affect the engine's normal operation. For example, if the engine compartment temperature is too high, it can cause the intake air temperature to rise, which may impact the engine's power output.

What are the differences between 1.4L and 1.5L displacement?

The differences between 1.4L and 1.5L displacement are as follows: 1. Different engine efficiency. The 1.4L engine is much more efficient than the 1.5L engine. For example, engines using aluminum alloy materials are generally more efficient than cast iron engines, and engines with variable valve timing and direct injection technology are more efficient than those with intake manifold injection technology. 2. Different engine fuel consumption. The fuel consumption of an engine is determined by factors such as displacement, manufacturing process, and control technology. High-displacement engines may achieve fuel consumption levels similar to low-displacement engines.

Do I Need a Wheel Alignment When Replacing 4 New Tires?

Replacing 4 new tires only involves changing the tires and rims, which does not affect the alignment data, so a wheel alignment is not necessary. Here are the relevant details: 1. If the old tires were replaced due to severe abnormal wear, this may affect the wheel alignment data, and a wheel alignment would be required. 2. The main parameters adjusted during a wheel alignment include caster, camber, toe, and kingpin inclination. Adjusting caster helps maintain straight-line stability and steering return; adjusting camber also enhances stability and steering return; adjusting toe increases the tire contact area to counteract negative effects; and adjusting toe compensates for adverse effects caused by camber or toe. 3. During a wheel alignment, the data must be precise. If the alignment is incorrect, the vehicle may pull to one side, affect balance during cornering, impact acceleration and braking, and strain the suspension, posing risks to safe driving.

What is the function of a car fuel gauge?

Car fuel gauge can display the fuel value, fuel consumption, and storage capacity in the fuel tank in real time. If the fuel gauge malfunctions, there are the following reasons and judgment methods: 1. The problem of the fuel gauge itself. The fuel gauge itself fails, causing the fuel gauge to stop moving or become inaccurate. Judgment method: If the fuel gauge pointer does not swing about half a minute after the ignition switch is turned on, or the pointer swings randomly, or the fuel gauge pointer measurement is inaccurate. 2. Sensor failure. The sensor fails, causing the fuel gauge to stop moving. Judgment method: Use a multimeter to clamp the two terminals of the fuel sensor's variable resistor, and use the R×1Ω range to detect the resistance value of the variable resistor. If the display does not match the standard, the sensor has failed. 3. Short circuit of the instrument coil. A short circuit in the instrument coil causes the fuel gauge to malfunction. Judgment method: Use a multimeter to measure the voltage.

What is the solution for mice entering the engine compartment?

Here are the solutions for mice entering the car engine compartment: 1. Tools: 38 packs of engine compartment rodent repellent, one small flat-head screwdriver, one small Phillips-head screwdriver, and zip ties for securing the repellent packs. 2. Methods: If possible, change your parking spot or park in an enclosed garage. If changing spots isn't an option, visit a car detailing shop or use a "cleaner" to wash the engine compartment to remove any traces of mice and prevent attracting more. 3. Prepare "engine compartment rodent repellent packs" to be crushed and placed on the ground and inside the engine compartment. 4. After parking, take one pack of repellent, grind it into rice-sized granules, and sprinkle around the four tires and under the engine area. Repeat this every night for 23 consecutive days.
