The method for removing and installing the rearview mirror on the Ford Kuga is: 1. For removal, pinch the cylinder behind the rearview mirror and rotate it counterclockwise by 45 degrees to detach; 2. For installation, align the rearview mirror position and rotate it clockwise by 90 degrees to secure it in place. The functions of the rearview mirror are: 1. Expanding the driver's field of vision; 2. Facilitating safe overtaking and lane changing. Taking the 2019 Ford Kuga as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4524mm, width 1838mm, height 1685mm, wheelbase 2690mm, rear track width 1565mm, fuel tank capacity 60 liters, and curb weight 1592kg.

Removing the Ford Kuga's side mirror isn't actually difficult—I've replaced mine three times. First, roll down the window and use a plastic pry tool to carefully lift the interior trim cover from the gap at the mirror's base, revealing the hidden mounting screw. Loosen the screw with a Phillips screwdriver, then gently pull the mirror outward—be cautious not to yank the wiring harness! Disconnect the power plug first before fully removing the mirror. Installing the new mirror is the reverse process, but always test the mirror adjustment function afterward; otherwise, you'll need to reinstall it. Take your time during the process—the clips are extremely fragile. Breaking one means replacing the entire door panel trim, which would be a huge loss. For tools, just a screwdriver and pry tool are sufficient.

I love tinkering with cars in my spare time, and the key to removing the Ford Kuga's side mirror lies in the details. The first step is to remove the door trim panel, starting by prying from the bottom to expose the three screws securing the mirror. After removing the screws, don't rush—first disconnect the wiring harness plugs for the heating and turn signal functions. When installing the new mirror, focus on aligning it properly, and avoid overtightening the screws to prevent damaging the base. Avoid using metal tools throughout the process, as scratching the interior trim would be unsightly. It's advisable to check the mirror motor while you're at it, as older cars often experience sticking issues. If the wiring harness plugs show signs of aging, spray some electronic cleaner before reinstallation. The entire process takes about half an hour, making it a perfect weekend DIY project.

Can I randomly select license plate numbers 5 times every day on 12123?

No. The license plate selection methods on 12123 include self-composed selection and random selection, which must be conducted within the published number segment range. When selecting numbers on the Traffic Management 12123 APP, each vehicle can compose up to 20 license plate numbers in total and randomly select numbers 5 times. For random selection, the time period is from 09:00 to 21:00 daily, with 5 attempts per day, 10 numbers per attempt, and a selection time of 90 seconds per batch. If you do not find a satisfactory license plate number through random selection, you can choose a license plate number by composing it yourself, of course, within the published number segment format. A total of 20 self-composed license plate numbers are allowed, with limited opportunities, so it is necessary to cherish and carefully compose and select. Each number segment contains 100 numbers, and the released license plate number segments are only available for random selection within 7 days. After 7 days, any remaining numbers in the segment will be randomly released by the system into the self-composed selection pool, providing vehicle owners with both self-composed and random selection options. In some areas, 12123 is still in trial operation, and there may be loopholes in the license plate selection service. Some vehicle owners are unjustly listed as suspects of abnormal number selection, in which case they need to go to the local vehicle management office to clear the suspicion. Additionally, after pre-selecting a license plate number on 12123, the vehicle must be registered within 15 working days. If the registration is not completed on time, the selected license plate number will become invalid, and the owner will be prohibited from pre-selecting license plate numbers online for two years.

What to do if the BMW X3's exhaust pipe makes a popping sound when starting?

BMW X3 exhaust pipe rattling noise may be caused by damaged baffles inside the exhaust pipe or detached adhesives, requiring inspection and repair at a service center. When pressing the accelerator pedal, if you hear popping sounds from the exhaust pipe, it's recommended to check whether the muffler and exhaust pipe have any damage. During low-speed driving or when accelerating, if abnormal noises occur under the engine, it might be due to aged heat shields, which can be resolved by replacement or removal. If there are abnormal noises when turning or moving forward, it could indicate detached metal parts of the exhaust pipe or bumper sections, which should be repaired.
