The X-Trail's spare tire is not full-size, it is a temporary spare. Here is some extended knowledge about temporary spare tires: 1. Temporary spare tires cannot be used as regular tires. Their speed limit is generally 80km/h, and their load capacity is very small. It's best not to place them on steering wheels. 2. Temporary spare tires are designed to help drive the car to a repair shop when a tire fails and should not be used for long-term driving. Precautions for installing a spare tire: 1. Before installing the spare tire, it's best to place the removed tire under the vehicle to prevent accidents. 2. Make sure all the tire fixing bolts are tightened before removing the jack. 3. When tightening the bolts, follow a diagonal sequence. Do not tighten them in a clockwise or counterclockwise order.

I've always driven the X-Trail, and its spare tire is usually not full-size but a compact temporary one, a design many SUVs adopt to save space. I recommend checking the spare tire's condition right after buying a car, including its air pressure and storage location. Temporary tires shouldn't exceed 80 km/h and are only for short-term emergency use—don't rely on them for long distances. Avoid high-speed driving before replacing the original tire; safety comes first. During regular maintenance, have a technician check the spare tire's condition to avoid being caught off guard by issues.

Should I go to the Vehicle Management Office or Traffic Police Brigade for Driver's License Renewal?

Renewal should be applied for at the Vehicle Management Office where the original driver's license was issued. Conditions for renewal: Holders of large passenger vehicle, tractor, city bus, medium passenger vehicle, or large truck driver's licenses must have no demerit points in the current scoring cycle, or holders of other permitted vehicle type licenses must have less than 12 demerit points in the current scoring cycle. Holders of large passenger vehicle, tractor, city bus, medium passenger vehicle, or large truck driver's licenses with demerit points in one scoring cycle, as well as holders of other permitted vehicle type licenses who have been involved in traffic accidents resulting in death with equal or greater responsibility without having their driver's license revoked, must have completed the review education. The applicant must have no pending road traffic safety violations or traffic accidents. The applicant's physical condition must meet the driving license requirements. The driver's license must not be under circumstances of being legally seized, detained, temporarily suspended, revoked, canceled, or annulled. Documents required for renewal: Bring two copies of ID card, two 1-inch recent color photos without hats, original ID card, original driver's license, and a medical examination certificate from a county-level or above hospital (free medical examination is also available at the Vehicle Management Office).

How Many Days Does It Take to Complete Vehicle Transfer and Registration?

Online processing takes 3-10 days, while offline processing at the vehicle management office can complete the vehicle change registration in 1-3 days. Below is relevant information: 1. Transfer and Registration (Change of Jurisdiction): Vehicle transfer refers to the change of registration applied by the vehicle owner to the registration authority's vehicle management office when relocating their residence into or out of the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office. 2. Important Notes: Vehicles with statuses such as 'transferred out, stolen, suspended, deregistered, under customs supervision, suspected vehicle, seized, detained, meeting compulsory deregistration standards, compulsory deregistration, hit-and-run, license plates invalid due to meeting scrapping standards, unresolved violations, unresolved accidents, mortgaged/pledged,' or vehicles with less than 1 year of use (including 1 year), or those whose vehicle type or usage nature does not meet the transfer application conditions, are not eligible to apply.

Should the Roewe RX5 use 92 or 95 gasoline?

According to the official vehicle manual recommendation, the Roewe RX5 should use 92 gasoline. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the vehicle manual, you can also find it on the fuel tank cap, which will also indicate the recommended grade. Typically, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with an engine compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 gasoline. However, with the use of some new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the gasoline grade, as high compression ratios can also be adjusted to use lower-grade gasoline. This is because, besides the compression ratio, other factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline grade, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the Roewe RX5 occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after the current tank is used up. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles recommended to use lower-grade gasoline, using higher-grade gasoline will not cause damage, but the increase in octane number will alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This means both the engine's power output and thermal efficiency will decrease, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles recommended to use higher-grade gasoline, using lower-grade gasoline can cause engine knocking. Because the octane number is too low, the fuel's ignition point decreases, causing it to ignite prematurely during the compression stroke. If the fuel ignites before the spark plug fires, resistance will occur during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstably. If the knocking is mild, it only increases noise without significant damage to the engine. However, if the knocking is severe, it indicates serious engine conditions, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on the pistons and cylinders, and in severe cases, cylinder scoring.

At How Many Kilometers Should a Major Car Service Be Performed?

Major car service should be performed every 40,000 kilometers. Below is more information about car maintenance: Definition of car maintenance: It refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. Precautions for car maintenance: (1) Car engine maintenance: The car engine should be cleaned at the appropriate time. Prolonged use can form a thick layer of carbon deposits on the engine surface, which can cause significant corrosion to the rubber components in the engine. (2) Prevent evaporation of both gasoline and water. (3) Pay attention to the hygiene inside the car.
