The reason the spare tire doesn't come off after removing the screws is that the jack hasn't been used. Although the tire screws are removed, the tire is still pressed down by the weight of the vehicle itself, preventing it from coming off. Solution: First, connect the jack's power source to the car's main driver's seat power supply. Then, place the jack at the front end of the tire to be removed and wait for the car to be lifted after powering on. Next, attach the electric wrench head to the main body and start pressing the electric wrench's switch to rotate and remove all the screws of the tire. This way, the tire will naturally fall off once all the screws are removed. Methods to Prevent Car Tire Screws from Being Unable to Remove: Tire screws need to be replaced after a certain period of use; otherwise, they may become impossible to remove due to rust. When using an impact wrench to install tires, be careful not to tighten them too much to avoid future difficulties in removal.

Is It Normal for a Cold Engine to Shake While a Warm Engine Runs Smoothly?

If the phenomenon of a cold engine shaking while the warm engine runs smoothly occurs during winter vehicle startup, and the shaking is slight—unnoticeable in the driver's seat but observable when the hood is opened—it is considered normal. This happens because, at low temperatures, the idle speed is high after a cold start. The high idle speed leads to increased engine RPM, causing the vehicle to shake. Once the engine warms up and the RPM decreases, the shaking disappears. Causes of cold engine shaking include: 1. Mechanical engine faults, such as uneven cylinder pressure across cylinders; 2. Intake system issues, like intake pipe leaks, excessive carbon buildup on intake valves and pipes, or dirty throttle bodies and intake pipe interiors; 3. Engine management system failures, such as incorrect coolant or intake temperature signals, or wiring faults.

Can LED headlights pass the annual inspection?

Whether LED headlights can pass the annual inspection depends on the specifications and performance of the modified headlights. If the color temperature, brightness, and beam angle of the modified headlights meet the national safety requirements for driving, they can pass the inspection. The inspection mainly focuses on two aspects: Whether the brightness meets the requirement, meaning it must be at least 1400 lumens. Whether the beam angle is compliant, as long as the high and low beam angles are normal. Essentially, as long as the modified LED headlights do not compromise driving safety, they can pass the inspection. Relevant regulations for vehicle annual inspections: Vehicles that fail the inspection must be repaired within a specified period. If they still fail after the deadline, the vehicle management office will confiscate their license plates and prohibit further driving. Vehicles that do not undergo inspection or fail without valid reasons are not allowed to drive on roads or transfer ownership. Vehicles that meet scrapping conditions or exceed the prescribed service life will not be inspected, and their license plates will be revoked, records deleted, and the vehicles scrapped.

How Many Clicks on the Car Handbrake Are Considered Normal?

Generally, the car handbrake should be pulled to between five and seven clicks for a normal position. The correct method to pull the handbrake is to press the small button with the thumb pad and then pull the handbrake. The force applied should be light, and you should clearly hear the sound of the handbrake being pulled. Pull it to about 70%, which is the optimal working point for the handbrake. The handbrake system is used frequently, and its effectiveness decreases with increased usage. Many times, car owners think they have fully engaged the handbrake, but accidents can occur due to handbrake failure or not pulling it to its working point. Therefore, car owners should regularly check the effectiveness of the handbrake. To test the handbrake, drive the car to a steep slope with good road conditions, press the brake pedal, shift to neutral, and pull the handbrake to the previously determined working point. Slowly release the brake pedal. If the car does not slide, the handbrake is functioning well. Alternatively, if the car slides slightly but the sliding distance is minimal, the handbrake's effectiveness is still considered normal.

How often should private cars under 10 years old undergo inspection?

For small cars under 10 years old, the inspection is required every two years. Here is the relevant information: 1. Relevant regulations: According to the new inspection rules implemented from November 20, 2020, new cars within 6 years can be exempted from inspection twice (inspection marks need to be applied for every two years, but no on-site vehicle inspection is required); at the 6th and 8th year, the vehicle must undergo on-site inspection. For private cars over 10 years old, the original inspection cycle still applies, i.e., once a year for cars between 10 and 15 years old, and every six months for cars over 15 years old. 2. Relevant laws: Article 13 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that motor vehicles registered for road use shall undergo regular safety technical inspections according to laws and administrative regulations, based on factors such as vehicle purpose, passenger and cargo capacity, and service life. For vehicles that provide a motor vehicle driving license and compulsory third-party liability insurance, the motor vehicle safety technical inspection institution shall conduct the inspection, and no additional conditions may be imposed by any unit.
