The differences between full-size and non-full-size spare tires are: 1. Different sizes: The full-size spare tire has the same specifications as the four original tires of the car; the non-full-size spare tire is narrower or has a smaller rim size. 2. Different driving speeds: The full-size spare tire has no speed limit as long as it complies with traffic regulations; the non-full-size spare tire cannot exceed 80 kilometers per hour. 3. Different weights: The full-size spare tire weighs the same as the four original tires of the car; the non-full-size spare tire is lighter than the four original tires. The process of replacing a spare tire: 1. Loosen the screws; 2. Lift the vehicle with a jack; 3. Remove the screws that secure the wheel, turning counterclockwise to loosen and clockwise to tighten; 4. Remove the tire; 5. Replace it with the spare tire.

Can a Sticker-On Spoiler Pass the Annual Inspection?

Sticker-on spoilers cannot pass the annual inspection. Whether the spoiler is attached with adhesive or reinforced with nuts and rivets, it is considered an illegal modification of the vehicle's appearance and is a violation of the law. Installing such a spoiler can affect road usage and pose a safety threat to other road users. Although the "Motor Vehicle Inspection Work Regulations" have somewhat relaxed restrictions on vehicle modifications, spoiler modifications are not supported by policy. Modifying a spoiler is considered altering the vehicle's appearance and is illegal, so it is not recommended. Even small ducktail spoilers attached with 3M tape on the rear of the car will not pass the annual inspection and may be stopped by traffic police on the road. Regardless of the size of the spoiler, even if you proactively report the modification to the traffic police department, you will only be ordered to restore the vehicle to its original condition. Installing spoilers, front splitters, side skirts, and other appearance kits are all considered illegal modifications. Vehicle modifications must strictly comply with national laws and regulations, which clearly outline the requirements for modifying both appearance and performance parts. For general car owners, it is permissible to replace the front and rear grilles, but the size of these parts must not exceed the original dimensions. If you wish to change the color of your car, aside from certain prohibited colors, you can generally do so as long as you report the change to the vehicle management office.

Why does the Mercedes-Benz C200 shake when driving at 120 km/h?

When the Mercedes-Benz C200 reaches a speed of 120 km/h, the phenomenon of body shaking occurs, which is caused by poor dynamic balance of the front wheels. Reasons for the shaking of the Mercedes-Benz C200: The engine has accumulated a significant amount of carbon deposits. This situation mainly occurs when gasoline is not fully absorbed into the engine, leading to the formation of carbon deposits. Due to incomplete combustion in the vehicle, it results in shaking and increased fuel consumption. The throttle or fuel injector has not been cleaned for a long time, the spark plugs have not been replaced for an extended period, or even the intake manifold is faulty, or the engine is misfiring, which affects fuel atomization and combustion, leading to a series of issues. Solutions for the shaking of the Mercedes-Benz C200: The air filter is excessively dirty. The air filter is designed to protect the engine and reduce wear. If not replaced in time, it can cause insufficient air intake, leading to engine shaking. A broken high-voltage wire refers to the core wire of the high-voltage line being broken, which can affect ignition and cause engine shaking. The presence of gum in gasoline can clog the fuel injector nozzles, causing inconsistent fuel injection from each injector, resulting in uneven cylinder operation and engine shaking.

What are the requirements for vehicles when self-driving to Zheduo Mountain?

Self-driving to Zheduo Mountain requires a good damping system and comfortable interior. Damping System: The vibration between the frame and body should be quickly attenuated to improve the smoothness and comfort of the vehicle, smoothing out various potholes on the road, and preventing the undercarriage from scraping when passing through gravel roads or shell crater sections. Comfortable Interior: The Sichuan-Tibet route is challenging, taking about ten days to reach Tibet. Along the way, luggage and tents will occupy a significant amount of space, requiring a large interior to store essential travel items. A spare tire is necessary to handle emergencies like a flat tire promptly.

How often should gearbox oil be changed?

Generally, it should be replaced every 3 to 4 years, or when the mileage reaches 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Gear oil and transmission oil: There is no difference between gear oil and transmission oil. Transmission oil and gear oil are usually the same, with corresponding models used according to different vehicle types. Manual transmission vehicles mainly use it for gear lubrication, while automatic transmission vehicles primarily use it for transmission lubrication and power transmission. Introduction to gear oil: Gear oil is mainly composed of petroleum lubricating base oil or synthetic lubricating oil, with the addition of extreme pressure anti-wear agents and oiliness agents. It is an important lubricating oil used in various gear transmission devices to prevent tooth surface wear, scuffing, sintering, etc., thereby extending their service life and improving power transmission efficiency.

What does the yellow exclamation mark on the odometer mean?

There are four possible scenarios when a yellow exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard: general fault, automatic transmission fault, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting fault. Below is a detailed analysis of these four situations: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's general performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor malfunction. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a problem with the transmission or that the transmission fluid is below the normal range. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Abnormal Tire Pressure: An exclamation mark inside a horizontal line below a bracket represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. This light illuminates when the tire pressure is too low. Check the tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, signaling that a car light has malfunctioned. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to identify the issue. Additionally, a red exclamation mark inside a circle with parentheses indicates a warning for the braking system, primarily signaling a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. The braking system should be inspected immediately to avoid accidents.
