When changing a tire, you should engage the parking gear and apply the handbrake. Tire Wrench Specifications: Generally, tire wrenches come in sizes such as 17, 19, and 21. However, it's important to refer to the vehicle's user manual for specific details. The tire wrench is part of the vehicle's onboard tools, usually stored together with other repair tools, which are typically located under the trunk's floor panel. Method for Removing a Tire: Use the vehicle's jack to lift the side where the tire needs to be changed; the lifting point is usually on the side skirt below the door. After lifting, replace the tire, install the screws, lower the vehicle, and then tighten the screws.

What are the differences between maintenance at a 4S shop and outside?

Advantages and disadvantages of maintenance at a 4S shop and outside: 1. Maintenance at a 4S shop is expensive but guaranteed. There are vehicle inspections for corresponding models, as well as professional technicians and supporting tools and equipment. In terms of spare parts, 4S shops have considerable advantages, with guaranteed reliability and sufficient inventory. Sometimes, replacing certain spare parts or repairs can be done more quickly. 2. Maintenance at external auto repair shops is cheaper but carries higher risks. You have options—you can purchase the engine oil and parts to be used yourself, and you can observe the maintenance process throughout. The disadvantages are also obvious: auto repair shops lack a comprehensive management system and cannot conduct a complete assessment and monitoring of your vehicle. Sometimes, they rely solely on experience to determine which spare parts need to be replaced, and the replaced parts cannot be original factory components.
