I'm in the market for new tires and I finally found the meanings for the DOT ratings. Thought I'd share it with the group. Uniform Tire Quality Grading System...
Here are some more facts and numbers. Most important to me when I buy is to match the OE speed rating. Matrix used an H (130-210mph) when I bought in 2006....
Have anyone heard of General Tires? I'm thinking about ordering them. The specific model is General Exclaim UHP, 205/55-16. load index is 91 and the speed...
Instead of messing with the plug, go online and try finding a hand pump. My brother has one and I've been using it to do oil changes on my matrix. stm248...
When I turn on my head light manually, my instrument panel lights turn off. But when I leave it turned off and there's sunlight the instrument panel lights are...
Did you check the setting on the light dimmer control to the left of the steering wheel..its a roller wheel type of control.... Mike ... From: "stm248"...
I have had good luck with Generals in the past but not have had a set in quite a while. The drain plug is indeed a 14MM hex with 12mm threads. The thread size ...
When your daytime running lights are on the dash lights are on at full brightness only(brightness knob on dash bypassed). When it gets dark and the auto...
I would not know if I had a problem with the lights because I am still confused with the system. Why do you (I) need to turn the switch on at all? The sensor...
Just like Mike said, check your dimmer switch. This roller type switch is easily get "bumped" and change the setting. Sounds like it's at the lowest (dimest)...
I must be really dumb! I didn't even bother to check with the dimmer wheel located on the left side of the steering wheel. The only reason why I thought it was...
For the tires, I'm heading over to Wheel Works this weekend - they have a sale and the overall cost might be cheaper than to buy it from Tirerack.com and...
Here's my approach on the head light sensor. It's a great thing to have, but in California. the law is that, if it rains and you use your wipers, the...
this is the law in PA too, as for why there is a manual over ride, I found its useful when the sensor doesn't fire and you think you need the lights on full,...
... You don't. I've not touched the headlight switch on the stalk in 5 years. OK, not 100% true, I have to deal with it when my wife insists on turning it on....
... My aversion to these drain valves, is that they will stick down a little bit, and I would worry about wacking it on something and all the oil coming out....
Thanks Adam for the comment about the short delay with the light sensor. Finally the light switch and sensor are making sense. I think the salesman two years...
Hey! Don't make fun of us in "Seattle East"! But yea, it's cloudy here a lot. Even worse for us who have Astronomy as a hobby. We don't see the stars very...
I hear ya! I would let the auto sensor do it, but the switch it there for an override. I agree with pete, you rarely need to use it if it comes on timely...
I agree with Art, once in a while, you'll need to override the light switch and just turn it on manually. ( cloudy days ) Art Zinn <mabahongtae@...>...
... Mine is an '03 model I took possession of in April 2002. ... Personally, I've never been able to discern the difference between 'daylight' and 'nighttime'...
... Actually, if you want to signal for backup during a drug bust with then engine off, then yeah, I do use the light switch. Forgot about that. :) ...
