Tires mounted incorrectly can lead to reduced grip, uneven resistance on both sides, decreased braking effectiveness, and may cause the vehicle to pull to one side or result in unstable steering, all of which could potentially lead to serious consequences. The tread pattern of a tire has a significant impact on noise reduction, handling stability, wear, and wet traction performance. Below is additional information regarding tires: 1. On the sidewall of the tire, you can find the word "OUTSIDE," indicating that this side should face outward; the inner side will have an "INSIDE" marking, indicating that this side should face inward. Additionally, you can check the manufacturing date of the tire, which is located in front of the "DOT" marking on the sidewall. The side with the manufacturing date printed on it is the outer side of the tire; conversely, the inner side does not have the manufacturing date marked. 2. For unidirectional tread pattern tires: Installation does not differentiate between inner and outer sides, but it is recommended to mount the side with the production date facing outward. However, the tire must be installed according to the direction of the arrow, as the arrow indicates the rolling direction of the wheel.

What is the vehicle tax rate?

Article 4 of the "Vehicle Purchase Tax Law of the People's Republic of China": The vehicle purchase tax rate is 10%. The vehicle purchase tax is calculated based on the ad valorem rate method. The calculation formula is: Tax payable = Taxable price × Tax rate. If a consumer purchases a domestically produced private vehicle, the taxable price is the total payment made to the dealer, including additional fees, but excluding the value-added tax (VAT) (17% rate). Since the purchase price on the special invoice for vehicle sales includes VAT, the 17% VAT must first be deducted when calculating the vehicle purchase tax. That is, the taxable price for vehicle purchase tax = Invoice price ÷ 1.17, and then the 10% tax rate is applied. The vehicle purchase tax is levied as a one-time payment. If a vehicle has already been subject to the vehicle purchase tax, it will not be levied again. The tax payable for vehicle purchase is calculated by multiplying the taxable price of the vehicle by the tax rate. If the taxable price declared by the taxpayer is significantly low without a valid reason, the tax authority will determine the tax payable in accordance with the "Tax Collection and Administration Law of the People's Republic of China." If the payment for the taxable vehicle is settled in foreign currency, it will be converted into RMB based on the central exchange rate of the RMB on the day of tax declaration. The vehicle purchase tax has a time limit. It must be paid within 60 days from the date of the vehicle purchase invoice. Late payments will incur a daily late fee of 0.05% of the tax amount. After the vehicle purchase tax is paid, the tax authority will issue a "Vehicle Purchase Tax Payment Certificate," which the owner must keep safe and does not need to carry in the vehicle. If the certificate is lost, it must be reissued.

What is the intake manifold pressure?

Intake manifold pressure ranges between 40-80 KPA. Here are the relevant details: 1. Manifold vacuum: It not only provides pressure signals to determine engine load but also assists systems like brakes. This is why the brake pedal feels much lighter after the engine starts, thanks to vacuum assistance. Certain types of cruise control systems also utilize manifold vacuum. 2. Leakage: Any leaks or improper modifications to these vacuum tubes can cause engine control malfunctions and affect brake operation. To ensure driving safety, avoid making improper modifications to vacuum tubes.

What does emergency brake assist failure mean?

The warning indicates that the brake fluid reservoir in the engine compartment needs to be refilled with automotive brake fluid. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Fault occurrence: If the vehicle's brake pads are malfunctioning, you should promptly visit an authorized 4S store or repair shop for inspection to resolve the auxiliary braking system failure issue. 2. Brake assist system: This system compensates for ABS deficiencies by utilizing sensors on both the accelerator and brake systems to monitor the driver's operation of these pedals. When it detects the driver suddenly pressing the brake pedal with extreme speed and force, the system will interpret this as requiring emergency braking.
