A car should not be driven when the tire pressure is below 1.0 bar, and the vehicle will issue a warning if the tire pressure falls below 1.5 bar. Hazards of excessively high or low tire pressure: 1. Shortened tire lifespan; 2. Increased friction coefficient with the road surface; 3. Creates unsafe driving conditions by making the vehicle prone to drifting; 4. Increased movement in various parts of the tire, leading to abnormal heat generation due to excessive rolling; 5. Multiplied friction between the tire and the ground, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening of the tire, and a rapid decrease in strength; 6. Risk of tire blowout; 7. Accelerated rubber aging, broken cords, and faster wear on the tire shoulders.

Why Are There Exclusive Models in China?

Because foreign car manufacturers produce vehicles that are more suitable for foreign markets, they have adapted to local conditions in China by producing exclusive models. Below is some information about these exclusive models: 1. Exclusive models refer to vehicles customized for consumers in a specific country based on their habits and preferences. 2. China-exclusive models are vehicles developed and produced by foreign car manufacturers according to the needs of Chinese consumers. 3. These models are typically developed by multinational automakers specifically for the Chinese market, sold only in China, and not available in other countries or exclusive to developing nations.

What does it mean when the car check light is on?

When the car check light stays on, it indicates that the engine has developed a fault. Here is additional information about the check light staying on: 1. Possible causes for this situation include poor engine combustion state, engine knocking, poor fuel quality, dirty engine cylinders with accumulated carbon deposits, etc. 2. If you notice the check light is on, you should promptly go to a repair shop or 4S store for inspection and repair as instructed in the driver's manual. You can initialize the engine control system, and the fault light may turn off temporarily. However, if the light comes back on after driving for a while, excluding false alarms from the system, you should then proceed to a 4S store for maintenance. Failure to repair it in time may affect the normal operation of the engine, potentially causing damage to the engine.

Why Do Vehicles Need to Add Urea?

Vehicles add urea to reduce harmful gas emissions and comply with national regulations. Below are the specific reasons why vehicles need to add urea: Reducing harmful gas emissions: The NOx in diesel engine exhaust is mainly nitric oxide (NO). If the concentration of NO is too high, it can affect human pulmonary function and cause central nervous system disorders. Additionally, NO gradually converts into nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in the air. NO2 has a strong irritating odor, and inhalation can lead to respiratory diseases. It is also one of the main causes of acid rain. National regulations: Due to the significant harm to humans and the environment, China's National IV emission standards implemented in 2008 mandate that diesel vehicles must use automotive urea in their emission reduction systems.

Where is the tire pressure monitoring in Lavida?

The tire pressure in Lavida is displayed on the instrument panel, and the tire pressure monitoring is automatic. If there is any abnormality in the tire pressure, an alarm will be triggered automatically. Here is some relevant information about the tire pressure monitoring in Lavida: 1. The SET in the new Lavida is the tire pressure monitoring system: If the SET light is on, it indicates that the tire pressure of a wheel does not match the stored value. When the pressure of a tire decreases, the weight of the vehicle will cause the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, making it rotate faster than the other wheels, which can easily lead to traffic accidents. 2. If the tire pressure monitoring light flashes: It means there is a fault in the system. 3. The ideal tire pressure for the new Lavida is 2.2: This provides a good balance between comfort and fuel consumption.

What Causes Vehicle Body Vibration During High-Speed Braking?

High-speed braking-induced vehicle body vibration can be attributed to the following causes: 1. Uneven brake disc surfaces with excessive radial runout: This creates inconsistent contact between brake pads and discs, resulting in fluctuating braking force that manifests as body vibration, particularly noticeable during light braking. 2. Significant wheel alignment deviations: Incorrect front wheel alignment angles or excessive toe-in can make the vehicle difficult to control during acceleration, though the vibration is typically mild. 3. Improper tire pressure: Overinflation causes increasingly severe vibration at higher speeds, while underinflation leads to both vibration and steering pull.
