The steps to reset the tire pressure on a 2012 Mini: First, turn on the ignition, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "ding" sound before releasing it. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, completing the tire pressure reset. Precautions for inflating tires: Always use a pressure gauge to check the tire pressure to avoid overinflation, which can cause the tire to burst. After stopping the vehicle, wait for the tires to cool down before inflating, as driving increases tire temperature, affecting the pressure. Check the valve stem. If the valve stem and core are not properly aligned, have protrusions, depressions, or other defects, it will be difficult to inflate and measure the pressure. Ensure cleanliness when inflating. The air being pumped in should not contain moisture or oil, as this can deteriorate and damage the inner tube rubber. Do not exceed the standard pressure significantly and then release air, nor should you overinflate after being unable to inflate for a long time while traveling. Exceeding the standard pressure too much can cause excessive stretching of the cords, reducing their strength and affecting the tire's lifespan.

How to Check the Car Key Number?

Methods to check the car key number: Visit a 4S dealership and use the VIN number (the vehicle's ID number) located on the windshield to query the key number in the backend system. The VIN code, also known as the Vehicle Identification Number or chassis number, is a unique 17-character alphanumeric sequence used to identify the vehicle's manufacturer, engine, chassis serial number, and other specifications. The car key number serves as the factory password for the vehicle key, used as the encoding for duplicating new keys. Car keys are tools for turning the vehicle on and off, and modern car keys all utilize chip technology, operating on a magnetic chip system.

What is the wading depth of the new Sagitar?

The wading depth of the new Sagitar is 310mm. Below is relevant information about the new Sagitar: 1. Wheel height: The exhaust pipe of the Magotan is 320mm from the ground, and the half-height of the wheel is 310mm. These two heights are basically at the same level. From this perspective, the safe wading height for the Magotan is around 300mm. Above this height, water may enter the exhaust pipe, but as long as you drive steadily, the vehicle will not stall. There is no need to accelerate heavily to pass through; you can confidently wade through. 2. Water entry points: The engine has three potential water entry points: the air filter, the oil dipstick hole, and the exhaust pipe. The first two are roughly at the same height as the upper edge of the tire, so as long as the water does not exceed the front wheels, it's not a concern. The exhaust pipe is lower, but even if it is underwater, as long as the engine is running, it continuously expels gas, preventing water from entering. The biggest risk with a submerged exhaust pipe is engine stalling. The moment the engine stalls, the negative pressure in the cylinder can draw water in.

What are the dimensions of the Lynk & Co 05?

The dimensions of the Lynk & Co 05 body are 4592*1879*1628mm, which are official data. The length of the Lynk & Co 05 refers to the distance between the two vertical lines perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the vehicle; the width refers to the distance between the planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle; the height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the vehicle's supporting plane. The Lynk & Co 05 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 254 and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, paired with an automatic transmission (AT). There are national regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard "GB1589-89," the total width of a vehicle does not include the rearview mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. In other words, under national standards, the significance of vehicle width data lies in ensuring enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the requirements of public road usage.
