Semi-slick tires are not slippery in the rain. Semi-slick tires are actually more performance-oriented compared to regular tires. When the tire reaches a certain operating temperature, the tread softens, creating high adhesion that enhances grip and ensures driving stability. The advantages of semi-slick tires include improved steering responsiveness and increased contact area with the road. Additionally, these tires incorporate Kevlar fibers—the primary material used in bulletproof vests—which enhance sidewall rigidity, extend tire lifespan, and improve overall support.

What does the AT light on the car mean?

AT on the car refers to the automatic transmission, which can automatically shift gears up and down. Below is an introduction to transmission-related content: 1. 6AT transmission: Except for shifting from P gear to D gear at the start and from D gear to P gear when parking, D gear can be used from beginning to end. When starting, you can use Sport gear, but starting on flat ground with Sport gear does not accelerate as quickly as with D gear. S gear has excellent acceleration performance and is used for overtaking after reaching a certain speed. When the car is moving, you can switch to M gear mode by pulling the gear lever to the left from D gear, and control the gear by pushing the lever forward or backward. 2. Classification: Car transmissions can be divided into manual transmissions and automatic transmissions, with AT being the commonly referred to automatic transmission. Generally, automatic transmissions have gears such as P, R, N, D, 2, 1, or L. 6AT indicates six forward gears, meaning there are six sets of gear ratios with different transmission ratios. Others include 4AT, 8AT, 9AT, and even 10AT. Although the numbers differ, they are all derivatives of automatic transmission technology.

Does Tire Shine Have Side Effects on Tires?

Tire shine does not have side effects on tires. Here are the relevant details: 1. High-quality tire shine: It can form a new protective film on the tire surface. Although this protective film doesn't last very long, it provides some protection to the tire, thereby extending its lifespan and effectively preventing aging, deformation, and fading of the tire rubber. 2. Low-quality tire shine: It also won't harm the tires because tires inherently have anti-oxidation and anti-corrosion properties, making it difficult for tire shine to cause serious damage to them.

Why Does the Subject 1 Appointment Ranking Always Move Backward?

Subject 1 appointment ranking always moves backward due to the rules of the appointment ranking system. From these rules, the reason for the backward movement of the appointment number can be understood—it is essentially "forced" to let others cut in line, though this principle is actually fair and reasonable. Below are the rules of the appointment ranking: 1. Rule 1: For the first appointment for Subject 1, the sorting time is based on the date when the user’s initial application for a motor vehicle driver’s license was accepted. 2. Rule 2: For non-first appointments for Subject 1, the sorting time is based on the date of the last exam. 3. Rule 3: If a user who successfully scheduled an exam cancels the appointment due to personal reasons, the sorting time is based on the cancellation date. 4. Rule 4: If both Rule 2 and Rule 3 apply, the most recent time is used as the sorting time.

How to Reset the Oil Change Reminder on an Audi?

If the vehicle has already undergone maintenance, the 4S dealership's service department will reset the maintenance cycle upon completion.

In the submenu, find 'Maintenance Cycle' and choose the option to reset the oil change interval. The system will then automatically clear the maintenance reminder light. Additional relevant information is as follows: Engine Oil: If the engine uses mineral oil or semi-synthetic oil, it is better to adhere to the regular maintenance schedule. If full synthetic oil is used, you can appropriately extend the maintenance intervals in terms of both time and mileage.
