There are several key precautions to note when replacing 18-inch tires on the Mazda3 Axela: 1. If conditions permit, it is recommended to replace all four tires simultaneously; 2. When replacing only two tires on the same axle, you must select tires with identical specifications, construction, manufacturer, and tread pattern; 3. If replacing just one tire, the new tire must be exactly the same specification as the other tire on the same axle, and the tread groove depth should be similar, otherwise it may cause issues such as vehicle pulling or braking deviation. Additional information: According to current Chinese regulations, tires must be replaced when the tread wear indicator reaches below 1.6 mm.

What does ESC/ABS malfunction mean?

ESC/ABS malfunction refers to faults in the vehicle's Electronic Stability Control system and Anti-lock Braking System. Here are the relevant details: Electronic Stability Control (ESC): This system significantly enhances vehicle handling safety and driving convenience. When the vehicle needs to avoid obstacles or make sharp turns during driving, it can quickly detect the situation and take appropriate braking measures. It applies individual braking to each wheel, allowing independent control of each wheel while reducing engine power output to maintain vehicle stability. Anti-lock Braking System (ABS): This is a vehicle safety control system with advantages such as anti-skid and anti-lock features. When operational, ABS can achieve over 90% braking efficiency while also reducing brake wear and extending the service life of the braking system.

Can you change lanes on a solid yellow line?

You cannot change lanes on a solid yellow line. Only change to adjacent lanes: You can only change to an adjacent lane. If you need to move to a farther lane, first change to the adjacent lane, drive for a while, and then change to another lane. Follow traffic signs: When changing lanes at an intersection, choose the lane according to the direction you need to go, and enter the guide lane following the directional arrows on the traffic signs. Maintain distance when changing lanes: When changing lanes to the left or right, do not do it too slowly. Driving for a long distance while straddling the line will affect other vehicles. The best distance to change lanes is between 50 to 60 meters.

What is Waste Engine Oil Recycled For?

Recycled waste engine oil can be refined into finished gasoline and diesel. It can also be re-refined into engine oil. Reasons for engine oil deterioration: Deposits from wear particles generated by mechanical friction, lacquer films formed by high-temperature oxidation during combustion, deposits of gum and carbon, dust infiltrating from the external environment, acidic substances generated during combustion, clogged crankcase ventilation systems, poor oil cooling, and natural formation of gum due to oil heating. Functions of engine oil: When the automotive lubrication system operates normally, engine oil continuously circulates within the engine, providing forced lubrication to all moving friction surfaces and carrying away wear particles and frictional heat. By effectively splashing onto the cylinder walls, it ensures the sealing and lubrication functions of piston rings and cylinder walls under high temperature and pressure.

How many kilometers can 20 liters of gasoline run?

In the city, a typical small car can travel between 200 to 300 kilometers. On the highway, due to steady-speed driving, it can approximately cover 400 to 600 kilometers. Additional information is as follows: Refuel promptly: Do not wait until the gasoline light comes on to refuel, as this can damage the fuel pump. Avoid filling up completely: Try not to fill the tank to the brim; if you're not traveling long distances and only driving within the city, there's really no need to fill up completely. Avoid refueling in the afternoon: During periods of significant day-night temperature differences, refueling at noon compared to early morning means you get half a liter less for the same 50 liters, as fuel dispensers measure by volume, not by mass.

What is the reason for the ESCL failure preventing the car from starting?

ESCL failure should be promptly diagnosed at a 4S shop using a computer to read the fault codes, followed by repair or replacement of the problematic components. Common causes of ESCL failure include: Drifting while driving: The car automatically veers to one side even when the steering wheel is kept in the central position. Causes include uneven tire wear or pressure differences between left and right tires, inconsistent front wheel alignment parameters, bent or deformed steering rods, excessive hinge clearance, unequal spring force or excessive deformation in the front suspension coil springs, and worn wheel hub bearings with large gaps. Heavy steering: Difficulty in turning the steering wheel left or right. Causes include incorrect front wheel alignment, underinflated tires, deformed or worn steering linkage, tight ball joints, and lack of lubrication in the steering gear.

What are the symptoms of excessive carbon buildup in a manual transmission throttle body?

If the throttle body is excessively dirty, it will lead to insufficient engine air intake, resulting in issues such as engine shaking, sluggish acceleration, and increased fuel consumption. Causes of carbon buildup: In congested urban driving conditions, vehicles often idle on the road, causing incomplete fuel combustion, which is a significant reason for carbon buildup. Due to substandard fuel quality, unsaturated olefins and other substances in the fuel can produce coking-like substances after high-temperature combustion. Hazards of excessive carbon buildup: If there is too much carbon buildup in the throttle body, it will affect the engine's idle speed and air intake, causing the engine to shake during idle operation.
