Below are the operating procedures for a wheel alignment machine: 1. Check the vehicle's suspension system, wheel bearings, steering system, etc., for any gaps or damage. The maximum allowable tread depth difference for tires on the same axle is 2mm. Ensure the tire inflation pressure meets specifications. The vehicle should be fully equipped to its weight. 2. Drive the vehicle onto the four-post lift and position it stably, aligning the vehicle's center with the center of the lift and turntable. Inspect and, if necessary, modify the vehicle specifications. 3. Strictly follow the steps displayed by the alignment machine; no steps should be omitted. For example, perform wheel runout compensation and tire inspection as required. 4. The adjustment of each wheel's alignment parameters (toe-in, camber angle) should comply with the requirements specified in the vehicle's 'service manual.' Any parameters that do not meet the specified requirements should be adjusted (except for those that cannot be adjusted as per the original vehicle configuration).

What is a Car Key ID?

Car Key ID is the registration number of the key. Through this ID, car key users can look up parameters such as the manufacturer and operating frequency of the key. Additionally, the ID may be required when the key is lost or when duplicating a key. Car remote keys are wireless communication anti-theft devices that require manufacturer registration for use. The ID key fob is a read-only, contactless IC card. It is powered by induction from a card reader and reads the card number stored in the chip's EEPROM. The card number is written once before the card is sealed and cannot be altered afterward. Being passive and contactless are the key features of this chip. The radio frequency interface circuit is the critical core technology, receiving RF energy from the card reader to generate power and clock for the chip, and employing techniques like phase-shift keying and load amplitude modulation to achieve wireless communication between the card and the reader.

How to Fold Car Mirrors?

Rearview mirror folding can be categorized into manual and electric types. 1. Electric mirrors are typically folded automatically via an operation button located on the driver-side door or the car's central console. Some models automatically unfold the mirrors when the vehicle is started. 2. Pressing the automatic folding button or rotating the knob to the folding position will simultaneously fold both side mirrors. Relevant information about car mirrors includes: 1. Location: Car mirrors are positioned on the left and right sides of the vehicle's front and inside the car's cabin. 2. Function: Rearview mirrors display conditions behind, beside, and below the car, allowing the driver to indirectly observe these areas. They act as a "second pair of eyes," expanding the driver's field of vision.

How deep does a wheel hub scratch need to be before replacement is required?

If the wheel hub has been scratched, it does not need to be replaced; replacement is only necessary if the wheel hub has become deformed or cracked. The wheel hub is the central part of the wheel, mounted on the axle to support the tire. It is cylindrical in shape and typically fitted with bearings to reduce friction. Common types of wheel hubs include steel rims and aluminum alloy rims. Methods for repairing wheel hub scratches include: 1. Carefully inspect whether the scratch extends to the inner side of the wheel hub. If not, simply use paint thinner to gently wipe around the scratch; 2. Before repairing the scratch, cover the undamaged areas with tape to avoid accidentally applying paint to unaffected parts; 3. After trimming the brush tip, apply touch-up paint and allow it to dry, during which it will slightly shrink.
