Tire pressure alarm will sound when the pressure is below 1.5bar. The normal tire pressure range is between 2.3bar and 2.5bar. If the car is fully loaded, it is more suitable to adjust the tire pressure to around 2.5bar. For two passengers, a tire pressure of 2.3bar is also normal. The standard tire pressure can usually be found in the vehicle's user manual, on the label next to the driver's door, in the drawer beside the driver's seat, or on the fuel tank cap. The recommended tire pressure should be based on the manufacturer's specifications, as the tire pressure setting takes into account factors such as the vehicle's weight and chassis height. Both over-inflation and under-inflation are detrimental to driving safety and comfort.

I've been driving for nearly twenty years and have experienced several tire pressure warnings. Each car has different settings, but most will trigger the warning light when the pressure drops 25% to 30% below the manufacturer's recommended value. For example, if the standard tire pressure is 2.5 bar, the small yellow light on the dashboard will flash when it drops to around 1.8 bar. This week, while driving my friend's SUV, the left rear tire had a slow leak from a nail puncture, and it suddenly alarmed at 1.7 bar. Fortunately, I wasn't driving fast at the time, and when I pulled over, I found the tire was almost flat. Now I've developed a habit of checking the tire pressure with an electronic gauge every month, and I make sure to inspect it before long trips. Keeping a portable car air pump is very practical—last time when camping, I used it to pump up the tires when the pressure dropped to 1.9 bar.

What Causes Abnormal Noises While Driving a Car?

There are several reasons for abnormal noises while driving a car: 1. Body noise: First, check if there are any unfixed, easily rolling objects in the trunk or rear seats that may cause noise. If noise is caused by friction at the door or window areas, applying adhesive tape or padding rubber at the friction points may reduce or eliminate the noise. 2. Engine noise: Abnormal engine noises indicate changes in the technical condition of a certain engine mechanism, often due to excessive wear or improper assembly and adjustment. Some noises can even signal potential catastrophic engine damage, so timely repairs are necessary to prevent further issues. 3. Transmission noise: Since transmissions have many components, the causes of noise are complex. Check if the noise is related to specific speeds (e.g., planetary gear noise may be noticeable around 50 km/h) or specific gears. Noise in a particular gear often points to issues with components affecting that gear's transmission, while noise in all gears may indicate problems with the constant mesh gear shaft or insufficient transmission oil. Also, observe if the noise occurs during specific actions like shifting gears, starting, rapid acceleration, deceleration, or turning—these are effective ways to diagnose transmission issues, especially speed and direction changes for rear axle problems. 4. Tire noise: First, check if the tire bolts are tightened properly. Severely loose wheel hub bolts can cause wheel wobbling, producing noticeable clunking sounds at low speeds, requiring immediate inspection.

What Causes a Car Door to Not Close and the Latch to Not Lock?

The main reasons why a car door won't close include: misalignment of the door hinges or latch, the door lock tongue failing to reverse and latch properly, issues with the door lock contact switch, or insufficient height of the contact installation. Below is additional information about car door locking mechanisms: 1. Central locking system: When one door is locked, all other doors lock simultaneously. Central locking, short for central control, means that pressing the central locking button prevents the other three doors and windows from being controlled individually, as the central locking system manages all switches. 2. Door lock functions: They prevent accidental door openings and also serve the important role of protecting items inside the vehicle.
