Different vehicles have different regulations for roof rack installations. For items placed on a roof rack, the height from the ground to the top of the rack must not exceed 4 meters, and the height from the roof to the top of the items must not exceed 0.5 meters. Otherwise, it will be considered over-height and may result in a warning or fine. Below are the installation regulations for different types of vehicles: 1. Heavy-duty and medium-duty trucks, semi-trailers: The height from the ground must not exceed 4 meters, and for container-carrying vehicles, it must not exceed 4.2 meters. 2. Motorcycles: The height from the ground must not exceed 1.5 meters, and the length must not extend beyond the body by more than 0.2 meters. The width of items carried on two-wheel motorcycles must not exceed the handlebars by more than 0.15 meters on either side; for three-wheel motorcycles, the width must not exceed the body. 3. Passenger cars: For items carried on the roof rack of a passenger car, the height from the roof must not exceed 0.5 meters, and the height from the ground must not exceed 4 meters.

Why does the car still roll after pulling the handbrake?

It is usually caused by misalignment or deformation of the handbrake shoe bracket, which reduces the contact of the trailing shoe of the brake shoe. The function of the handbrake is to stabilize the vehicle after stopping to avoid accidents caused by rolling. However, pulling the handbrake to its fullest extent is not necessarily the best practice. Never apply the handbrake directly for braking at high speeds, as it is extremely dangerous to do so when the vehicle is moving at high speed.

How to Determine the Positive and Negative Poles of a Speaker

When the speaker cone retracts inward, the terminal connected to the positive pole of the battery is the negative pole of the speaker, and vice versa. Set the multimeter to the ohm range, then touch the two terminals of the speaker with the probes. The speaker will move slightly when contacted, and pushing forward indicates the standard positive and negative poles. Generally, for audio output wires, the wires for the same speaker will be of the same color group. The positive wire will be solid-colored, while the negative wire will have thin black lines or dashed lines.
