According to tire specifications, 195 tires cannot be replaced with 205 ones. The numbers 195 and 205 represent the tire's cross-sectional width. 195 indicates a tire width of 195 millimeters, while 205 denotes a width of 205 millimeters. Each wheel rim width has an optimal range of compatible tire widths. Increased contact area leads to higher friction coefficients, which can negatively impact fuel efficiency and generate more noise at high speeds. For balanced tire performance, it's best to choose the optimal tire width matching your wheel rim. Increasing tire width alters tire dimensions, which may cause issues with annual inspections and potentially lead to unnecessary risks from vehicle modifications, such as speedometer inaccuracies, odometer errors, or ESP instability. Professional assistance is recommended for tire size conversion and installation, with consultation of automotive manufacturers regarding relevant laws and regulations when necessary. Besides model numbers, tires carry these common specifications: Tire cord materials: Indicated by Chinese pinyin initials - M for cotton cord, R for rayon cord, N for nylon cord, G for steel cord, ZG for steel radial cord. Speed rating: Shows the maximum speed capacity under specified load conditions. Letters A through Z represent certified speed ratings from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Common ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h. Rim specification: Indicates compatible rim sizes for practical use, e.g., standard rim 5.00F.

What is the fuel consumption of the Fit?

The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Fit is 5.2-5.6L/100km. Currently, there are 6 models of the Fit on sale. The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Trend Start version is 5.2L/100km. The Trend Enjoy version and Trend Run version have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.3L/100km. The Trend Beyond Max version, Trend Beyond version, and Trend Run Pro version have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5.6L/100km. The above figures are the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 6.5-8.1L/100km. When driving, the following 5 tips can help reduce fuel consumption: When starting the vehicle, use a low gear, gently press the accelerator, and gradually increase speed. Avoid suddenly pressing the accelerator hard, as this can multiply fuel consumption. Light acceleration, light braking, and early braking: When driving, gently press the accelerator to avoid sudden increases in engine speed and prevent the car from shaking during driving, making the car more fuel-efficient. By anticipating road conditions and adopting slow and uniform acceleration or braking, fuel economy can be increased by up to 20%. Maintain proper tire pressure: Keep the tire pressure at the level recommended by the manufacturer. For every 2 PSI below the recommended value (equivalent to about 0.2 in metric units relative to the standard pressure of 2.4), fuel consumption increases by 1%. Regular maintenance or inspection of the vehicle: Regular oil changes can reduce carbon deposits (carbon deposits can cause ignition issues, sluggish acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and in severe cases, even cylinder misfires). Regularly check and replace the air filter when dirty, and clean or replace the fuel injectors, spark plugs, and throttle body as per the mileage. Close the windows while driving. Driving with windows open increases wind resistance. The greater the wind resistance, the more resistance the car encounters, requiring more power and thus increasing fuel consumption.

What causes multiple warning lights to suddenly illuminate in the Tiguan?

Damaged sensors, poor contact, or signal interruption can cause the engine warning light to illuminate. Specific reasons: Poor combustion state (the main reason for the engine warning light), engine knocking, etc.; internal causes include poor fuel quality, unclean engine cylinder interiors, and accumulated carbon deposits leading to issues with the ESP system triggering a fault. Solutions: If the anti-skid warning light on the dashboard illuminates while driving, it indicates that the road surface is too slippery, and the vehicle's anti-skid system has automatically activated. The warning light will turn off automatically after passing this section of the road. If the anti-skid warning light remains on, it is likely that there is a fault in the vehicle's electronic stability system. It is recommended to first stop the vehicle, turn off the engine, wait a moment, and then restart to see if the warning light turns off—this is often caused by a system error. If the warning light remains illuminated, it is necessary to visit a 4S shop or auto repair shop to read the fault codes and determine the issue.
