Detailed introduction is as follows: 1. Right-side distance: The distance on the right side greatly affects the success of parking. If it's too narrow or too wide, the front of the car will have difficulty entering the parking space smoothly. Generally, staying slightly to the right of the normal driving position is the optimal distance. Avoid getting too close, as this will cause the front of the car to be too close to the car in front, leading to parking failure. Typically, 50 centimeters is the best distance. 2. Forward position: After mastering the right-side distance, usually drive until the rear wheel aligns with the rear of the car on the right. If the distance between your car and the car on the right is too close, you don't need to drive forward as much. 3. 45-degree steering wheel to the left: This usually depends on the distance between the left rear wheel and the left line of the parking space when the car is at a 45-degree angle. If the distance is far, straighten the steering wheel and reverse until the left rear wheel is about to touch the line, then turn the steering wheel fully to the left. 4. Right front of the car: Many people are most uncertain about this step in parallel parking, often feeling that the right front of the car is about to scrape the rear of the car in front, leading to hesitation and reversing too much, resulting in insufficient space at the back to complete the parking.

Can a slightly bulged tire still be used?

Tire bulges, even if very small, are not recommended for continued use. Firstly, tire bulges mostly occur on the sidewall (tire wall) because they are caused by localized breakage of the sidewall's cord layers. The sidewall is the most vulnerable part of a tire. Once a tire bulges, it not only affects driving but also significantly increases the risk of a blowout. Most importantly, it poses a major safety hazard. Below is relevant information about tire safety: 1. If you are considering replacing the tire, you can have it inspected at a 4S shop or a professional auto repair shop. If the damage is indeed minor, it can be repaired and continue to be used. However, if the damage is severe, the tire must be replaced immediately. 2. Tire repairs can be understood as "locking the stable door after the horse has bolted." The strength and quality of the tire can never be restored to their original levels. Therefore, instead of spending money on repairs, it is better to invest a bit more and replace the tire directly. 3. If you decide to replace the tire, the two tires on the same axle must be of the same brand, model, tread pattern, load index, and speed rating. There are many causes of tire bulges, such as incorrect tire pressure, poor road conditions, accidental impacts, aggressive driving, etc.

What is the Difference Between Calibration and Bench Testing?

Simply put, calibration is a process of optimizing various control parameters of each control unit. Bench testing, on the other hand, refers to testing the quality of gasoline, engine oil, diesel, gear oil, etc., by simulating the operation process of an automobile engine. It generally belongs to large-scale projects, requiring the coordination of various instruments and equipment for data detection. More details are as follows: 1. Gasoline Engine Bench Testing: The results of gasoline engine bench testing are the basis for determining the quality grade of gasoline engine oil. For example, the MS-ⅡD engine test is used to evaluate the ability of lubricating oil to prevent rust or corrosion of the valve group under low-temperature and short-distance driving conditions, and to evaluate API SE, SF, and SG grade gasoline engine oils. The Chinese standard test method includes SH/T-0512 Gasoline Engine Oil Low-Temperature Rust Evaluation Method (MS Procedure ⅡD). The foreign standard test methods include MSⅡD ASTM STP 351H-I. 2. Engine calibration is essentially a process of optimizing intake, fuel injection, and ignition control. Engine matching work involves setting appropriate values for various parameters of the Engine Control Unit (ECU) through various project matches under a specific Engine Management System (EMS) to meet the requirements of the best air-fuel ratio and the best ignition advance angle for the vehicle's power, economy, reliability, safety, and emission performance.

Is Insurance Valid for a New Car Without License Plates?

Insurance for a new car without license plates is valid because there is no direct relationship between the license plate and the validity of the insurance. Currently, insurance policies take effect from midnight on the day after the policyholder purchases the insurance. For example, if a policyholder purchases auto damage insurance on September 30, the insurance will take effect at 00:00 on October 1. Below is relevant information about new car insurance: 1. You can purchase insurance for a new car even if it doesn't have license plates, and only after purchasing compulsory traffic insurance can you obtain license plates. The documents required for registering a new car include: ID card, vehicle parameter table, vehicle purchase tax receipt, insurance policy, vehicle certification, and the second and fourth copies of the car invoice. The owner can choose to have the dealership handle the process or go directly to the insurance company. 2. It is important to note that while not having license plates does not affect the validity of the insurance, it directly impacts the insurance claims. According to relevant regulations, if the insured vehicle has any of the following circumstances, the insurance company will not provide compensation.

How to Turn on the Sagitar's Low Beam?

The lever on the left side of the steering wheel controls the turn signals and also serves as the switch for the high and low beams. Pushing the lever upward turns on the low beam, while pushing it downward activates the high beam. When in the low beam position, lifting the lever upward again will switch to the high beam, but this is a momentary switch—releasing it will revert to the low beam. Below are detailed instructions for operating the Sagitar's lever: 1. To switch between left and right turn signals, move the lever up or down. Pulling the lever toward yourself activates the headlight flasher. Holding the lever in this position keeps the headlight flasher on, and the high beam indicator on the dashboard will light up. Pushing the lever away from yourself turns on the high beam, and the high beam indicator on the dashboard will illuminate. 2. The light switch and beam height adjustment button are located on the left side of the instrument panel. To turn off the headlights, rotate the knob to the 0 position. Turning it to other positions will turn on the parking lights, headlights, or front/rear fog lights. The beam height can be adjusted according to the vehicle's load—the higher the load, the higher the beam should be to avoid blinding oncoming drivers. If weather or lighting conditions make it difficult to see the road, do not drive with only the parking lights on, as their brightness is insufficient to illuminate the road ahead, making it hard for other drivers to see your vehicle.

Is Lexus Extended Warranty Worth Buying?

It is not necessary to purchase the extended warranty service, as Lexus boasts high reliability and convenient after-sales maintenance. Below is an introduction to Lexus: 1. Lexus Sold in China: 90% of the Lexus vehicles sold in China are produced at the Kyushu Plant in Fukuoka, Japan. There are only two Toyota-certified plants worldwide, and the Kyushu Plant is one of them. 2. Lexus Production Time: At the Kyushu Plant, it takes a total of 19 hours to complete the production of a Lexus vehicle, from the initial stamping to the final assembly and inspection of nearly 30,000 parts. The painting process alone takes about 10 hours, while assembly and inspection take approximately 5 hours. 3. All Lexus Models Are Produced to A-Grade Standards: Toyota internally categorizes its production standards into four grades: A, B, C, and D, with D being the lowest. Vehicles produced to D-grade standards include all of Toyota's compact cars and some large vehicles supplied to the U.S. market, such as the Yaris series, Vios series, and Highlander. The C-grade standard applies to Toyota's mainstream models, such as the Camry and Avalon. The B-grade standard is used for the Crown, while the A-grade standard is reserved for the Crown Majesta and all Lexus models.
