Mazda MX5 adopts a multi-link independent rear suspension structure. The multi-link independent suspension consists of links, shock absorbers, and suspension springs. Compared to most suspension systems, the multi-link independent suspension features more connecting rods, typically utilizing 4 to 5 interconnected links. The Mazda MX5 is a sports car under the Mazda brand. In terms of body dimensions, this vehicle measures 3915mm in length, 1735mm in width, and 1245mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2310mm. The instrument cluster of this car features a three-pod design, with an LCD display on the left side providing vehicle information query and convertible top operation warning functions. The central control display includes standard multimedia, Bluetooth, and vehicle systems. Vehicle configurations include seat heating, automatic air conditioning, lane departure warning, and more.

I've been driving the Mazda MX-5 on mountain roads, and its rear suspension features a multi-link independent design, connecting the wheels with upper and lower control arms and links for tight control. This structure prevents the wheels from interfering with each other during turns, making the rear end extremely responsive with outstanding grip. The MX-5 feels incredibly stable, thanks to this rear suspension, which absorbs road vibrations without compromising handling. Mazda engineers did a fantastic job—it's a variation of a double-wishbone setup but tuned for smoother performance. I've seen similar setups at some auto shows. Regular maintenance of the rear suspension is crucial, like checking if the link bushings are worn out, otherwise, prolonged use can lead to noise or alignment issues. Anyway, this design makes the MX-5 stick to the road like glue in corners, and it’s comfortable for long drives too. Highly recommend giving it a try.

What type of engine oil is suitable for the Venucia D50?

The Venucia D50 is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, and it is recommended to use 5W-30 semi-synthetic engine oil. Depending on the ambient temperature, 0W-30 oil can be used in winter, and 0W-30 oil can also be used in summer. Key factors to consider when selecting engine oil: Engine oil should be selected based on the requirements of the engine. It is unnecessary to use overly advanced oil in engines with lower requirements, nor should lower-grade oil be used in engines with higher requirements. Precautions for changing engine oil: The engine must be preheated before draining the oil. At this time, the oil is thinner and flows more easily, helping to carry away impurities and ensuring thorough drainage. Remember not to drain the oil when the engine is cold, and replace the oil filter simultaneously. The old oil filter may be clogged with impurities, which can slow down oil flow and reduce engine lubrication. The amount of oil added should be measured, and for some vehicles, the oil level can be checked using the dipstick to ensure it is appropriate. Functions of engine oil: The primary function of engine oil is lubrication. During the lubrication process, the oil is gradually consumed, and impurities and deposits can form, affecting lubrication effectiveness. Engine oil also has a cleaning effect, but some residues may remain in the engine during cleaning. The anti-rust property of engine oil is also very important. While oil cannot completely prevent oxidation, it can reduce it. Good sealing enhances mechanical efficiency, but prolonged use can lead to chemical reactions that weaken sealing. Cooling is another function of engine oil, but its cooling effect diminishes over time with prolonged use.

What does the tire pressure monitoring 'set' mean?

The tire pressure monitoring 'set' refers to the tire pressure warning, which requires storing the tire pressure. The 'set' light is a tire pressure monitoring indicator. Once it illuminates, it indicates that at least one of the vehicle's four tires is below the standard pressure value, indicating an underinflated state. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. Hazards of abnormal tire pressure: 1. Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; 2. Creates unsafe factors such as heavy steering and tendency to veer; 3. Increases the movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heating due to excessive rolling; 4. Multiplies the friction between the tire and the ground, increasing the risk of a blowout.

Can I still get my vehicle inspected if the inspection has expired?

Yes, you can still get your vehicle inspected even if the inspection has expired, but you need to go for a supplementary inspection promptly. During this period, you are not allowed to drive the vehicle on the road. For the annual vehicle inspection, you will need the original vehicle registration certificate, a valid original copy of the compulsory traffic accident liability insurance for the current year, a valid tax payment or tax exemption certificate for vehicle and vessel tax for the current year, and the original identity proof of the owner. Vehicle inspections help in timely elimination of potential safety hazards, encourage better maintenance of the vehicle, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents. The inspection includes checking whether the engine, chassis, body, and attached equipment are clean, complete, and effective, whether the paint surface is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, whether major assemblies have been replaced, and whether they match the initial inspection records.
