Water accumulation in the trunk spare tire can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Reason one: Clogged sunroof/trunk drainage pipes. 2. Reason two: Aging of sunroof/trunk sealing strips. 3. Reason three: Blocked rear drainage outlets. 4. Reason four: Damaged trunk clips. 5. Reason five: Dents in the trunk due to impact. 6. Reason six: Leakage through the trunk ventilation grille. Related information about spare tires is as follows: 1. Introduction one: A spare tire is an additional tire carried in motor vehicles as a replacement for a flat, blowout, or other emergencies. The term 'spare tire' is often a misnomer, as almost all vehicles actually carry an entire wheel with a tire mounted as a spare, not just the tire itself. 2. Introduction two: Since mounting a tire onto a wheel requires the driver to carry additional specialized equipment, certain spare tires ('space-saver' and 'donut' types) are not intended for long-distance travel. The maximum speed for space-saver tires is approximately 50 mph (80 km/h).

Can I change the unflattering photo on my driver's license?

You can replace the unflattering photo on your driver's license by applying for a replacement at the vehicle management office. A fee is required for the replacement, and you can apply even if your license isn't lost. When applying, submit a carefully selected, good-looking one-inch photo with a white background. Notes on driver's license replacement: After the replacement application is successful, you cannot drive with the original license while waiting for the new one. If the replacement process is initiated but the new license isn't issued on the same day, driving during this interim period is prohibited and will be considered as driving without a license. Once a new license is issued, the original driver's license becomes invalid. If your license was lost and you've obtained a replacement, even if you later find the original, it will be deemed invalid, and the new license will be the valid one. For a lost or damaged license replacement, a medical certificate is not required; only a loss statement is needed. However, for license renewal upon expiration, both the original and a copy of the medical certificate must be provided.

How to Judge the Distance Between Cars When Driving at Night?

When the image of the rear car occupies the entire rearview mirror, the distance between the two cars is about three meters; when the image of the rear car occupies two-thirds of the rearview mirror, the distance is about five meters; when the image of the rear car occupies half of the rearview mirror, the distance is about nine meters; when the image of the rear car occupies one-third of the rearview mirror, the distance is about twelve meters. Precautions for driving at night: 1. Increase the following distance: When driving at night, visibility is poor, so it is necessary to appropriately increase the following distance to prevent collisions between vehicles. Increasing the distance between two cars allows for emergency response in unexpected situations, reducing potential losses. 2. Pay attention to non-motorized vehicles on the right when meeting another car: Both daytime and nighttime encounters require certain methods. When meeting another car at night, switch from high beam to low beam. If the other party does not switch to low beam, immediately reduce speed and use continuous switching between high and low beams to signal them. Also, pay attention to the situation in the non-motorized vehicle lane on the right when meeting another car.

What Causes the Cab of a Truck to Shake?

Truck cab shaking causes introduction: 1. Uneven brake disc surface, replacement needed; 2. Loose chassis suspension and ball joints, requiring calibration; 3. Excessive steering wheel free play, needing adjustment; 4. Tire deformation, requiring four-wheel alignment and tire inspection. If tire deformation is excessive, immediate replacement is necessary. Truck routine maintenance introduction: 1. Definition: Vehicle routine maintenance, also called periodic maintenance, mainly refers to inspections, refueling, adjustments, and tightening performed before driving, during driving, and after parking. Key inspection items include: whether the engine and instrument operation are normal, whether coolant and engine oil levels meet requirements, whether accessories are properly fixed, whether there are abnormal noises in vehicle components, whether suspension, steering, and brake connections are reliable, whether there are oil or air leaks, whether tire pressure is normal, etc. 2. Safety aspects: Drivers should constantly master the vehicle's technical condition, perform safety inspections, and promptly detect abnormalities to immediately eliminate potential safety hazards, ensuring vehicle availability and safety. Routine maintenance should pay attention to checking tire pressure and any abnormal damage, whether there are stones between dual tires, or whether there are nails or other foreign objects on the tread.

What is the cause of the P2A00 fault code in the Infiniti G37s?

P2A00 fault code, applicable to all car manufacturers, means oxygen sensor circuit range/performance. The function of the oxygen sensor is to measure the oxygen content in the engine exhaust to correct the fuel injection amount, so that the engine can obtain the optimal air-fuel ratio. Extension: In OBD fault codes, you will often see references to which row and which oxygen sensor. Row 1 refers to the row where cylinder 1 is located, and the remaining row is Row 2. Regardless of the row, the first sensor always refers to the upstream oxygen sensor (before the catalytic converter), and the second sensor always refers to the downstream oxygen sensor (after the catalytic converter).

Does the vehicle width include the rearview mirrors?

Vehicle width does not include the rearview mirrors. According to regulations: The total width of a vehicle (excluding rearview mirrors) must not exceed 2.5 meters, and this measurement does not include the rearview mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. The height restriction ensures adequate vertical clearance under bridges and overhead utilities like cables, as well as maintaining the vehicle's rollover stability. Additional information: 1. Information one: The limitation on total vehicle length affects the time required for overtaking or when a vehicle crosses another road or railway line. Internal vehicle dimensions such as front overhang, rear overhang, wheelbase, and minimum turning radius influence the required width on curves and the vehicle's load capacity. 2. Information two: Vehicle width is the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle, i.e., the distance between the two extreme points in the width direction of the vehicle. The mentioned "fixed protruding parts on both sides" do not include rearview mirrors, side marker lights, position lamps, turn signal indicators, fenders, or the deformation of the tire-ground contact area.
