Whether two tires need to be replaced at the same time depends on the condition of the corresponding tire on the other side. If the tire is accidentally damaged, the other one generally does not need to be replaced. However, if it is due to normal wear, the other tire should be inspected and considered for replacement. Tires should be replaced under the following circumstances: 1. When the tire wears down to the wear limit indicator (i.e., the tread depth is below 1.6 mm). 2. Tire aging. If there are numerous small cracks at the base of the tread grooves or on the sidewall, the tire should be replaced promptly, regardless of whether it is new or old. 3. Tires with deformed treads or damaged beads, tires that have been run underinflated causing sidewall damage, or tires corroded by chemicals should not be used further. 4. Bulging tires must not be used. 5. Any other damage that affects the safety of the tire should also prompt replacement. 6. Expired tire lifespan. Tires typically have a service life of about 5 years. Beyond this period, they begin to age and should be replaced promptly.

How to Turn the Steering Wheel One Full Rotation?

When driving a car, the steering wheel is the tool used to control the vehicle's movement left, right, or forward. The number of rotations of the steering wheel affects the car's path. Turning the steering wheel one full rotation means rotating it 360 degrees. Steering wheel operation techniques: First, it's essential to adopt a safe hand position on the steering wheel. The left hand should grip near the 9 o'clock position, and the right hand near the 3 o'clock position. Both hands should hold the wheel firmly yet relaxed, with thumbs resting naturally on the wheel. When turning the wheel, alternate hands smoothly—when completing one full rotation, the left hand turns halfway, followed immediately by the right hand continuing the turn. When turning left, many people prefer to use their right hand to reach across the wheel, thinking it's easier. However, this is highly dangerous. In an emergency, a hand caught inside the wheel could get trapped or even injured, along with the arm. At high speeds (above 90 km/h), avoid unnecessary steering wheel movements. Even slight adjustments can cause the car to veer dangerously. Keep movements minimal, with hands neither too relaxed nor too tense. Avoid turning the wheel with one hand while resting the other on the gearshift. This bad habit not only increases driving risks but can also damage the transmission. Always use both hands to steer. Don't use just your fingers to turn the wheel. Modern power steering makes turning effortless, but some drivers lazily push the wheel with their fingers. This is a terrible habit—in an emergency, you won't have proper control.

What are the time and distance requirements for lane changing in Subject 3?

In Subject 3, the time requirement for lane changing is that the candidate must activate the left turn signal for more than 3 seconds upon hearing the instruction to change lanes, with no specific distance requirement. Below are relevant details about Subject 3: 1. Concept: Subject 3, also known as the road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It refers to the road driving skills and safe civilized driving knowledge test in the motor vehicle driver's examination. 2. Different test contents for different vehicle types: The road driving skills test varies for different permitted driving models, generally including: preparation before starting, starting, straight-line driving, gear shifting operations, lane changing, pulling over, passing through intersections straight, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing through pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and night driving. 3. Completion time: The starting procedure in Subject 3 must be completed within two and a half minutes. Regardless of the gear, the student should generally accelerate and shift gears smoothly until reaching fourth gear, with a time requirement of fifteen seconds. If road conditions permit, it is best to accelerate to 55 km/h and maintain that speed for three seconds. If conditions do not allow, the student should find another opportunity to accelerate to fourth gear and reach the specified speed. After completing this, gently apply the brake, and when the speed drops to around 35 km/h, shift to third gear and continue driving.

Do I need to replace the filter when changing transmission fluid with a circulation machine?

When changing the transmission fluid in a car, it is not necessary to replace the filter. If the transmission fluid is changed without removing the oil pan, the filter cannot be replaced. In car maintenance projects, changing the transmission fluid is also a very important task. Generally, transmission fluid needs to be replaced every two years or after driving approximately 40,000-60,000 kilometers. However, there is a filter inside the transmission oil tank, and often when the transmission fluid is changed, the transmission fluid filter element is not replaced. Below is a related introduction to car maintenance: 1. Visual inspection: Before driving, check the doors, hood, trunk, and glass condition, inspect the body for damage, whether the body is tilted, and whether there is any oil or water leakage. 2. Engine and various fluids: Check the fixing condition of engine components, inspect the engine for any oil or water leakage at the joints. Check and adjust the tightness of the belt, inspect the fixing condition of various pipelines and wires. Check and replenish engine oil, coolant, and electrolyte. 3. Tires: Check the tire wear and clean the trunk. When approaching the tire wear mark, replace the tire. Check for bulges, abnormal wear, aging cracks, or hard damage on the tires. 4. Cleaning and lubrication: Clean the oil stains on the engine hood, doors, and trunk hinge mechanisms, and lubricate them. The general service life of antifreeze is two years, and it should be replaced during maintenance, with a thorough cleaning of the cooling system. Due to the hygroscopic nature of the braking system, brake fluid should be replaced every two years.

Is the GAC Trumpchi 2.0T Engine Domestically Produced?

The Trumpchi 2.0T engine is independently developed by GAC Group and is domestically produced, manufactured at GAC Group's factory located in Panyu. This facility is not just an engine plant but also a complete vehicle manufacturing plant, housing an engine factory, stamping workshop, assembly workshop, painting workshop, welding workshop, and a test track. The 2.0T engine can deliver a maximum output of 252 horsepower and 390N·m. The cutting-edge technologies of the 2.0T engine include: 1. High-pressure direct injection: The 4B20J1 engine employs direct injection technology with a fuel injection pressure of 350bar, significantly higher than the conventional 200bar. Higher injection pressure results in better fuel atomization, greatly improving combustion efficiency for both fuel economy and enhanced power. 2. GCCS high tumble combustion chamber: This patented technology by GAC Group features a unique intake port and piston top design, ensuring thorough air-fuel mixing in the cylinder and faster combustion, which is the core reason for the 4B20J1 engine's fuel efficiency and strong performance. 3. Rubber-geared balance shaft: Although the 4B20J1 is a four-cylinder engine, it includes a balance shaft to counteract secondary inertia forces. Unlike typical balance shafts, GAC engineers used rubber materials for the balance shaft gears to reduce engine noise. Testing shows these rubber gears can last at least 100,000 kilometers without replacement or maintenance. 4. Electronically controlled wastegate: Given the high temperatures during turbo operation, many turbocharged engines use vacuum mechanisms for wastegate control, which lacks precision. An electronically controlled wastegate offers precise control for faster power response, though the high temperatures pose challenges for electronic components, increasing costs. 5. Engine noise insulation: While not high-tech, noise insulation materials on the intake tract and high-pressure fuel rail of the 4B20J1 engine help reduce noise, a feature many manufacturers omit due to cost considerations.
