225 tires and 205 tires cannot be used interchangeably. There is a 20mm difference in width between these two specifications, which affects tire grip and braking distance. Below are specific details about car tires: Parameter Identification: In addition to the manufacturing date, the sidewall of a tire will have markings such as 185/55R15-86V, which correspond to tire width, aspect ratio, tire type, rim diameter, load index, and speed rating. Tire Replacement: The need for tire replacement can be determined based on the tire's usage and condition. When cracks, bulges, or worn tread patterns appear on the tire surface, it is necessary to replace the tire promptly. Tire bulges are caused by impacts that break the internal metal wires of the tire. If driving continues at high speeds or over long distances with a bulging tire, there is a high risk of a blowout, which could lead to an accident.

Why do the lights stay on when the car is turned off?

The reason why the lights stay on when the car is turned off is due to a short circuit where the live wire and ground wire come into contact with each other. Here is some information about car lights: 1. Introduction: Car lights refer to the lamps on the vehicle, which are tools for road illumination during nighttime driving and also serve as signaling devices for various driving conditions. 2. Categories: Generally, they are divided into headlights, taillights, turn signals, etc. 3. Reflective strips: Located at the rear of the car, they serve a reflective function. When light from a following vehicle shines on them, regardless of the direction, it reflects back along the original path, alerting the driver behind. (This follows the physical law of light reflection at right angles).

Should the Nissan Sylphy eco mode be turned on?

Nissan Sylphy's eco mode can be activated. The eco mode in vehicles is an energy-saving mode. In this mode, it can effectively reduce the fuel consumption of the motor vehicle, and it can be turned on or off via a switch. The eco mode generally turns off under the following circumstances: 1. When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometers per hour, the eco mode automatically turns off. 2. The eco mode may also become ineffective when idling in park or neutral (N/P) gear or in manual mode. 3. When high torque output is needed, such as during hill climbing or heavy load operation, the engine control unit (ECU) ensures sufficient vehicle power to drive the car, and the eco mode will not function in these scenarios either.
