Snow tires are useful, and their functions are: 1. Increase friction with snow and ice surfaces through special formulations; 2. Improve passability and safety on snow and ice surfaces; 3. Provide better grip. Snow tires are categorized based on road anti-skid performance into: 1. Serrated surface tires; 2. Snow tires; 3. Studded tires. The principle of snow tires is: The tread in contact with the road surface uses a special silicon-containing formulation to ensure the tire remains particularly soft at extremely low temperatures, providing excellent grip on ice. The tread pattern usually employs cross-Z-shaped siping technology to enhance braking performance on snow, shorten braking distance, and deliver ideal traction.

What is the fuel consumption of the BJ80?

BJ80's fuel consumption varies depending on the model. Taking the Beijing BJ80 2019 2.3T Automatic Shengshi Huazhang Edition as an example, its official combined fuel consumption is 11.2 liters per 100 kilometers. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value measured by the manufacturer in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, converted into speed parameters, and then calculated under specified speed conditions to derive the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data for the model. In terms of power, the Beijing BJ80 2019 2.3T Automatic Shengshi Huazhang Edition is equipped with a 2.3-liter inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a cast iron structure, delivering a maximum power of 170 kW and a maximum torque of 345 Nm. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission and features a front-engine, four-wheel-drive configuration.

How to Solve the Problem of Truck Brake Locking?

Truck brake locking solutions: 1. Force start, increase throttle until the rear wheels move; 2. Remove the tire, use a hammer or similar tool to tap the brake drum a couple of times to loosen the contact surface between the brake drum and the brake pads. Reasons for truck brake locking: 1. Water ingress in the braking system; 2. Insufficient stiffness of the brake disc; 3. Improper fit of the brake pads. Methods to prevent truck brake locking: 1. After washing the car or when the brake drum gets wet in the rain, do not park immediately. Drive for a while and apply the brakes a few times to allow the moisture to evaporate, or when parking, do not use the handbrake. For manual transmissions, engage first gear, and for automatic transmissions, engage P gear; 2. Apply intermittent braking instead of slamming the brakes all the way, which not only wears out the tires but also makes it harder to stop.

Is N Gear for Forward Movement?

N gear is not for forward movement; it is the neutral gear of a vehicle. The neutral gear is used during temporary stops and when the vehicle is being towed. It is a unique gear for automatic transmission models. It is important to note that you should never shift to N gear when coasting downhill in a motor vehicle. The gears of an automatic transmission model include D gear (drive gear) for forward movement, N gear (neutral gear), R gear (reverse gear), P gear (parking gear), S gear (sport mode), and L gear (low-speed mode). Since automatic transmission models lack a clutch pedal, acceleration can be achieved simply by controlling the throttle. Additionally, in sport mode and manual mode, free gear shifting can be performed. When driving an automatic transmission model, you only need to press the vehicle's brake pedal to shift gears, reducing the frequency of manual gear shifting and effectively decreasing driver fatigue.
