Tire pressure below 1.5bar will trigger a warning alarm. It's best not to let it drop below this value. Here's relevant information: 1. Introduction: Automobile tires are one of the most important components of a vehicle, making direct contact with the road surface. 2. Functions: Tires work together with the vehicle suspension to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth operation; maintaining excellent adhesion between wheels and road surface; improving the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability; bearing the vehicle's weight. The crucial role tires play in automobiles has gained increasing recognition.

I usually drive my kids to school, and what I fear the most is tire pressure issues because low tire pressure poses significant safety risks. Generally, when the tire pressure drops below 25 PSI, danger signs start to appear, such as sidewall deformation and overheating, which can lead to a blowout. Once, I forgot to check, and while on the highway, I felt the steering wheel becoming unstable. I quickly pulled over and discovered the tire pressure was too low—fortunately, I handled it in time, and nothing bad happened. I recommend maintaining tire pressure between 30-35 PSI, as indicated on the sticker label by the car door. A drop below 20% should raise alarms, especially during rainy weather or high-speed driving, as handling becomes more difficult and may lead to accidents. Checking once a month with a digital tire pressure gauge is sufficient. Protecting your safety and that of others is paramount—don’t let small issues ruin a big journey.

As a cost-conscious driving enthusiast, I've found that underinflated tires not only waste money but are also extremely dangerous. When tire pressure drops below 25 PSI, it becomes concerning—fuel consumption skyrockets (I've tested this and it significantly increases monthly fuel costs). Worse yet, tire wear accelerates, with sidewall wear forcing premature replacements costing hundreds each time. Safety-wise, low pressure makes the vehicle unstable, especially during turns where loss of control is likely. My routine before long trips: check pressures—recommended range is typically 28-32 PSI; if 20% below, act immediately. Invest in a quality pressure gauge to carry onboard—it saves time and ensures peace of mind.

With 30 years of driving experience, I know all too well the troubles caused by low tire pressure. Anything below 25 PSI is dangerous - it puts excessive stress on the tire sidewalls, increases heat buildup and deformation, raising the risk of blowouts. I still remember one careless incident when my tire pressure was 20% low, making the car noticeably unstable on the highway. Maintaining proper pressure helps avoid such troubles.

Frequent tire issues during commutes can be worrisome, especially with low tire pressure. Personally, I've experienced severe car shaking and increased noise when pressure drops below 28 PSI, significantly raising risks. It's even more crucial to check after long trips or heavy loads. I recommend using a tire pressure gauge every two weeks. Safe driving relies on developing good habits.

Does a new car need an annual inspection after one year?

Whether a new car that has just reached one year needs an annual inspection depends on the vehicle model and its specific nature. Below is relevant information about the annual inspection: 1. Conditions: Vehicles whose condition does not match the records on the driving license or registration file, or whose license plates or driving licenses are damaged, incomplete, illegible, or self-made. 2. Notes: The exterior of the vehicle cannot be modified. The color of window sunshade or anti-explosion film cannot be too dark (items inside the vehicle should be clearly visible from one meter away; mainly applies to vans and trucks, but not to small cars with fewer than 5 seats). Vans and trucks must have enlarged rear license plates, and the number of spring leaf plates cannot be increased or decreased. The number of seats in a van cannot be altered, and a fire extinguisher must be present. The cargo compartment of a box truck cannot be modified (no side doors, no roof openings, and no tailgates can be added). The size of the tires cannot be altered, and the tread patterns on tires of the same axle must be consistent. Vehicles with unresolved traffic violations or those impounded by the court cannot undergo an annual inspection.

Where to Check the Manufacturing Date of a New Car?

Generally, cars come with a manufacturer's nameplate, which is usually located on the firewall, the radiator support, or near the front windshield. This is where you can find the manufacturing information of the new car. Below are some precautions for using a new car: 1. Cold Engine Warm-up: Proper warm-up helps form an "oil film" between engine components, reducing wear. 2. Timely Gear Shifting: During the break-in period of a manual transmission car, shift gears promptly and appropriately to avoid incorrect behaviors like high gear at low RPM or low gear at high RPM. Also, avoid using a single gear for extended periods. 3. Timely Maintenance: Simply follow the manufacturer's recommendations in the vehicle manual. After reaching a certain mileage or time, promptly inspect and maintain the vehicle, including changing the engine oil and oil filter, and thoroughly checking the chassis system. 4. Avoid Emergency Braking: Emergency braking not only impacts the braking system during the break-in period but also increases the shock load on the vehicle's chassis and engine.

What are the requirements for obtaining a driver's license?

As long as you are between 18 and 70 years old, with sound limbs and good physical and mental health, you can apply for a small car driver's license, commonly known as the C1 license. To be more specific, the physical conditions for applying for a driver's license include corresponding regulations on age, height, vision, color discrimination ability, hearing, upper limbs, lower limbs, torso, and neck. The following is an introduction to the C1 license: 1. The C1 driver's license is the most commonly used license: The C1 driver's license is the most commonly used and most common driver's license in China. 2. Vehicles that cannot be driven with a C1 license: A C1 license does not permit driving urban buses, medium or large passenger vehicles, large trucks, or two-wheeled or three-wheeled motorcycles. 3. Vehicles that can be driven with a C1 license: A C1 license allows driving C2, C3, and C4 model vehicles.

How Many Grades Does Castrol Engine Oil Have?

Castrol engine oil has 3 grades. Castrol's products are divided into three series: Edge, Magnetec, and GTX. Magnetec Engine Oil: During the period from vehicle start-up to warm-up, as the oil has not yet fully covered the surface of the components, wear is particularly severe. The UMA magnetic molecules in Magnetec engine oil can adhere to the engine surface like a magnet when the car starts, significantly reducing engine wear during start-up. GTX Engine Oil: It contains active molecules that maintain excellent fluidity in low-temperature environments, improving lubrication efficiency. GTX engine oil also has strong anti-rust and anti-wear functions. Edge Engine Oil: This engine oil is inseparable from the racetrack. It is a fully synthetic racing engine oil that helps the engine deliver powerful performance.

What Causes Sudden Loss of Acceleration Power at High Speeds in a Car?

Car suddenly losing acceleration power at high speeds can be attributed to the following reasons: Poor fuel quality leading to insufficient acceleration. Clogged fuel injectors, etc.: Clogged fuel filter, clogged fuel injectors, aging fuel pump. Solutions are as follows: Exhaust system modification: Replace the mid and rear sections of the exhaust pipe to allow air to enter the engine more quickly, thereby enhancing engine power. Tire modification: Tire modification is simpler than exhaust system modification. While widening the rims and tires, do not strictly adhere to the vehicle's specified adjustment values, as this may affect the normal operation of other vehicle components. Engine intake system modification: Primarily aimed at increasing engine displacement and improving air charging efficiency to boost engine power. Alternatively, the car's air filter can be directly modified.
