I've been researching Mazda models for a long time, and the Atz's engine is truly distinctive. It comes equipped with Mazda's self-developed SKYACTIV series engines across the entire lineup. In the early stages, it mainly featured naturally aspirated 2.0L and 2.5L displacements, like the SKYACTIV-G. The most impressive aspect is its ultra-high compression ratio, with the standard version achieving 13:1, and it can run on 92-octane fuel in China. Starting with the 2019 model, Mazda introduced spark-controlled compression ignition technology, called SKYACTIV-X, with the compression ratio soaring to 18.8:1, delivering surprising fuel efficiency and power response. This engine excels in fuel economy and quick throttle response, and when paired with Mazda's tuned 6AT transmission, it feels particularly smooth and responsive to drive. However, the compression ignition version is relatively rare in China, with most vehicles on the road being the 2.5L naturally aspirated version.

Do I need to change the ignition wires after upgrading the ignition system?

After upgrading the ignition system, it is necessary to change the ignition wires; otherwise, it may easily cause poor performance of the spark plugs. The importance of ignition wires: Ignition wires are an essential part of the ignition system. Their main function is to conduct high-voltage electricity from the ignition coil to the spark plugs, ensuring their proper operation. Additionally, ignition wires are used to control the firing order of the engine, managing the ignition of the spark plugs and thus regulating the operation of each cylinder. Consequences of not changing the ignition wires: Upgrading the ignition system means the spark plugs require higher ignition energy. The old ignition wires may not match the new spark plugs, leading to potential issues such as electrical leakage, increased internal resistance, and degraded conductivity under long-term high-load operation. These issues will prevent the upgraded ignition system from performing as intended and may even result in reduced power output.

What are the consequences of excessive spark plug gap in motorcycles?

An excessive spark plug gap in motorcycles can affect engine ignition and effective power output, thereby increasing fuel consumption. Methods to determine if a spark plug is damaged: Remove the spark plug and observe its appearance to assess its condition. A normal spark plug's insulator skirt and electrodes should appear gray-white, gray-yellow, or light brown. A properly functioning spark plug has a reddish-brown insulator skirt, an electrode gap between 0.8-0.9mm, and no signs of electrode burning. If the spark plug is covered in oil or deposits but is not damaged, it can continue to be used after cleaning off the oil and deposits. If the spark plug is severely damaged, showing signs such as blistering at the top, black streaks, cracks, or melted electrodes, the cause of the damage should be identified. After troubleshooting, replace the spark plug with a new one. Additionally, if the spark plug appears black as if smoked, it indicates that the wrong heat range was selected or the air-fuel mixture is too rich, with oil creeping up.

Do You Need to Wait for a Red Light When Turning Left?

When turning left, you must wait for the red light. When the red light is on, vehicle passage is prohibited, and you cannot make a U-turn or left turn directly. Motor vehicle signal lights and non-motor vehicle signal lights indicate: When the green light is on, vehicles are allowed to pass, but turning vehicles must not obstruct the passage of straight-going vehicles or pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to pass. When the red light is on, vehicle passage is prohibited. At intersections without non-motor vehicle signal lights or pedestrian crossing signal lights, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians should follow the indications of the motor vehicle signal lights. Road regulations: To learn to drive a motor vehicle, one must first study road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. After passing the exam, one can then proceed to learn motor vehicle driving skills. Learning to drive on the road should be conducted on routes and at times designated by the traffic management department of the public security organ. When learning motor vehicle driving skills on the road, a training vehicle must be used under the guidance of an instructor, and individuals not related to the training should not ride in the training vehicle.

What is a compact car?

Compact cars generally refer to models with engine displacements around 1.0-1.3 liters. However, the distinction between micro cars and compact cars, as well as other similar vehicle classifications, has become increasingly blurred. The classification is usually determined by the manufacturer's positioning and the predecessor model of the vehicle. Subcompact cars: Also known as A-segment cars, these are the most common family vehicles with wheelbases typically ranging from 2.5 to 2.7 meters and engine displacements generally between 1.6 to 2.0 liters. In China, subcompact cars including domestic brands, joint-venture models, and pure imports have become the main models in the current domestic car purchase market. Mid-size cars: These generally refer to vehicles with wheelbases ranging from 2.7 to 2.9 meters, body lengths between 4.6 to 4.9 meters, engine displacements typically from 2.0 to 3.0 liters, and seating for five passengers.

Is it serious not to pay roadside parking fees with temporary license plates?

Temporary license plates not paying roadside parking fees is considered a violation and will result in fines. Temporary License Plates: Paper motor vehicle license plates that allow temporary road use of motor vehicles, also known as temporary driving license plates. These are temporary vehicle driving permits issued by the public security vehicle management department for newly purchased vehicles before official registration. Conditions for Applying for Temporary License Plates: When driving the vehicle back from the place of purchase to the place of use, you need to apply for temporary license plates at the vehicle management office in the place of purchase. When transferring vehicle registration and after surrendering the official license plates, you need to apply for temporary license plates at the local vehicle management office to drive back to the original location. For new vehicles in the local area that have not yet obtained official license plates and need to be driven to another location for modifications, you must apply for temporary license plates locally. After modifications are completed, apply for temporary license plates at the local vehicle management office to drive back to the original area.

What is the speed limit at urban traffic lights?

Traffic regulations do not specify a speed limit at traffic light intersections, but they do require drivers to slow down when passing through. The speed should not exceed the posted limit for that road; if the traffic light is at a crossroad or a turn, the speed should not exceed 30 km/h. Typically, the speed ranges between 30 and 60 km/h. Precautions when passing through traffic light intersections: Slow down in advance as you approach the intersection, then observe carefully and proceed at a relatively low speed to ensure safety. Driving at high speed through an intersection increases the risk of collisions with electric vehicles, pedestrians, or taxis. Rules for traffic lights at crossroads: When encountering a red light, vehicles (including bicycles, motorcycles, and electric vehicles) must not proceed straight or turn left but can turn right. When encountering a green light, vehicles can proceed straight or turn left or right (pay special attention to the directional arrows on the traffic light). When the directional light is green, vehicles can proceed in the direction indicated by the arrow on the traffic light. When the directional light is red, vehicles must not proceed in the direction indicated by the arrow. Traffic lights, also known as traffic signal lights, alternate light colors at specified intervals and are typically installed at intersections or other special locations to assign the right of way to drivers and pedestrians, regulating their movement and turns as part of traffic control facilities.
