License plates starting with SZ previously belonged to the Shenyang Military Region and now belong to the Northern Theater Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. The new format for military vehicle license plates is XY12345, where X is the first letter and Y is the second letter. Here is more information about military license plates: 1. Meaning of the first letter in military license plates: V (formerly Jun) – Central Military Commission, four general departments, and military units at the military region level; K (formerly Kong) – Air Force; H (formerly Hai) – Navy; B (formerly Bei) – Beijing Military Region; S (formerly Shen) – Shenyang Military Region; L (formerly Lan) – Lanzhou Military Region; J (formerly Ji) – Jinan Military Region; N (formerly Nan) – Nanjing Military Region; G (formerly Guang) – Guangzhou Military Region; C (formerly Cheng) – Chengdu Military Region. 2. Meaning of the second letter in military license plates: A – Headquarters; B – Political Department; C – Logistics and Joint Logistics Department; D – Equipment Department; J – Military Representative Agency; K – Provincial Military District or Garrison Command; L – Mobile License; M – Joint Logistics Sub-department; N – General Armament Department; O – Military Vehicle Supervision; P – Armored Forces; R – Military Academies; S – Communications and Transportation; T – Intelligence Agency; V – Strategic Missile Forces; Y – Field Forces.

At what water level will a car be submerged?

Water reaching the chassis will submerge a car. Below are detailed descriptions of water-damaged vehicles: 1. Not considered a water-damaged vehicle: If the water level does not reach the chassis, it is not classified as a water-damaged vehicle. 2. Soaked vehicle: Water reaching the chassis is considered a soaked vehicle, which is the mildest form of water damage. Water entering the cabin only wets the vehicle's carpet and floor. The carpet, wiring harnesses on the floor, and air conditioning ducts need to be cleaned or replaced. 3. Partially submerged vehicle: Water almost reaching the wheel height is considered a partially submerged vehicle. In this case, water enters the cabin and wets the seat cushions and areas below. Besides the carpet, wiring harnesses, and air conditioning ducts, electronic components inside the seats, such as heating wires and adjustment motors, may be submerged. Additionally, the airbag computer, seat belts, and electrical devices like cigarette lighter plugs and USB ports in the central console may also be affected. 4. Fully submerged vehicle: Water above the dashboard is considered a fully submerged vehicle. If the water level is above the dashboard or even covers the roof, it indicates that about 90% of the electrical equipment in the vehicle has been submerged, and the engine has also been flooded.

Where to Repair Alloy Wheels?

Both auto repair shops and 4S stores can perform the repairs. Below are the details: 1. No damage to the wheel surface: If there are only some scratches, the refurbishment is relatively simple, requiring only surface repair and repainting. 2. The wheel is deformed: But not broken or cracked. Although this situation is more complex, it can still be handled. The wheel can be heated, restored to its original shape, balanced, and then repainted for continued use. Below is some related information about tires: 1. Tire lifespan: The wear lifespan of tires is between 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers. If the tire hasn't reached the wear limit or mileage but has been in use for 5 years or has developed numerous cracks on the side, it should be replaced. 2. Tire material: The main component of tires is rubber. The maximum storage and anti-aging time for rubber, from natural latex to ethylene propylene and nitrile, does not exceed 10 years. The average service life of various rubber products in use is 3-5 years.

What Does Tire Calibration Mean?

Tire pressure calibration refers to the situation where the vehicle's wheels have low tire pressure or other tire pressure issues. During driving, the system automatically monitors the tire pressure in real-time and alerts the driver in case of air leakage or low pressure to ensure driving safety. Over time, tire pressure decreases and needs to be refilled to the standard value, after which the tire pressure can be reset via the vehicle's multimedia system. Below are additional details: 1. Excessive wear on both sides of the tire: This is caused by prolonged low tire pressure or frequent overloading. Overloading or low tire pressure increases the contact area between the tire and the ground, leading to abnormal wear on both sides. 2. Central wear of the tire: This occurs due to high tire pressure. Excessive tire pressure causes severe tire deformation, reducing the contact area to the tread part, resulting in excessive central wear. Additionally, high tire pressure can affect the vehicle's comfort. 3. Wavy wear on the left and right tire shoulders: The main cause is a significant difference in the wheelbase between the front and rear wheels, where the right side is larger than the left, exceeding the standard.

What do 91V and 91W mean on tires?

The difference between 91V and 91W tires lies in the letters V and W at the end. These letters represent the speed rating of the tire. V indicates that the tire can withstand a maximum speed of 240 km/h, while W means the tire can handle up to 270 km/h. In other words, a 91W tire can bear a load of 615 kg and support a maximum speed of 270 km/h. Here is some related information about tires: 1. Tire lifespan: The wear life of a tire is typically 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers. If the tire hasn't reached the wear limit or mileage but has been in use for 5 years or shows significant sidewall cracking, it should be replaced. 2. Tire material: The main component of a tire is rubber. The maximum storage and anti-aging period for rubber, from natural latex to EPDM and nitrile, does not exceed 10 years. The average service life of various rubber products in use is 3-5 years.

What are the hazards of aluminum alloy valve caps?

One major hazard of aluminum alloy valve caps is that aluminum is chemically unstable and prone to react with oxygen. During the oxidation process, the valve core can become stuck together, making it difficult to unscrew after prolonged use. Additionally, the tire valve stem is connected to the tire pressure monitoring sensor. If excessive force is applied when trying to unscrew it, the stem may break, requiring replacement of the entire set. However, without unscrewing the cap, inflating the tire becomes impossible. Below is more detailed information: 1. When the aluminum valve cap becomes rusted and stuck: It can be very hard to remove. You can try spraying some penetrating oil or wrapping a towel around it and using pliers to twist it off. If these methods fail, you may have to resort to more forceful measures or seek assistance from a repair shop. 2. To prevent aluminum valve caps from rusting and sticking: Rubber valve caps can be used as an alternative, but they also have drawbacks. Over time, rubber inevitably ages, and the part in contact with the wheel rim may gradually crack, deform, and lose elasticity. Therefore, under normal circumstances, valve stems should be replaced every 3-4 years, which is roughly the same lifespan as the tires. It is recommended to replace the valve stems when changing tires.

What Causes the Sudden Illumination of the CRV Airbag Warning Light?

Introduction to the reasons for the sudden illumination of the CRV airbag warning light: 1. Loose or poor contact in the airbag device wiring: There are airbag device wires under the car seat, which may become loose due to accidental kicking by rear seat passengers. Simply check and tighten the connectors. 2. Faulty sensor in the airbag device: This requires inspection and repair at a professional auto repair shop or 4S store. 3. Battery depletion or abnormal reception device code: This requires professional testing of battery voltage or using a diagnostic device to check the code to troubleshoot.
