Car cannot go without a spare tire. When tire problems occur while driving, the spare tire can serve as an emergency solution. Generally, spare tires are non-full-size tires, which save storage space and are lighter in weight, making them easier to replace. Due to the special material of spare tires, drivers need to control their speed when using them. Tires are often used under complex and harsh conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperatures during operation. Therefore, tires must have relatively high load-bearing performance, traction performance, and cushioning performance, as well as high wear resistance and flex resistance, along with relatively low rolling resistance and heat generation.

How to Repair Dents in Auto Body Panels?

Place a dolly on the appropriate spot behind the dented area of the panel. Use a body hammer to gently tap the raised area until it becomes slightly concave. Remove the paint film from the panel using a wire wheel attached to a handheld grinder. Then, smooth the surface with water sandpaper and clean it thoroughly. After air drying or heat drying, fill the dent with body filler and press it firmly with a spreader. Adjust the surface using a steel ruler or blade as needed.

How to reset the tire pressure light on an old Tiguan?

First, ensure the vehicle is safely parked by the roadside and check the tire pressure monitoring function on the car's navigation screen for any wheel abnormalities. Next, determine whether the tire pressure is too high or too low. If the tire pressure is too high, slightly release some air to reach the safe tire pressure value. If the tire pressure is shown to be too low, reset the system and then drive the vehicle for a short distance to allow the system to recalibrate.

What does eco mean on the dashboard?

ECO refers to the vehicle's economic driving mode, also known as economy mode. When driving frequently in congested urban road conditions, activating the ECO mode can significantly improve fuel efficiency. Under ECO mode, the amount of carbon deposits in the engine is roughly similar to that produced under normal driving conditions. The main principle of ECO mode is not complicated. It involves a comprehensive analysis and judgment of factors affecting fuel consumption during vehicle movement, such as automatic transmission gear position, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking, and transmission oil temperature. The ECU control unit calculates the optimal fuel quantity to supply the engine, effectively reducing fuel consumption compared to normal driving mode. Simply put, it controls the engine speed with appropriate gear shifts to minimize unnecessary fuel consumption. ECO is an abbreviation, with the Chinese translation representing Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving), and Optimization (power). ECO mode is further divided into active ECO driving mode and non-active ECO driving mode. When the ECO indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it indicates that the vehicle's economy mode has been activated. ECO mode can be categorized into active and non-active types. The difference lies in the fact that active ECO mode has a dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to enable it. When the driver presses the ECO mode switch, the dashboard indicator light turns on, and the vehicle automatically adjusts settings such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output power. Non-active ECO mode does not have a dedicated button. When the dashboard ECO indicator light turns on, it serves merely as a reminder. The ECO system automatically evaluates your driving behavior, and if your current driving operation achieves the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will display the ECO indicator light. Most vehicles employ active ECO driving mode, meaning they have a dedicated switch button. In daily driving, ECO mode can generally be activated. However, it is unnecessary to enable ECO mode when driving at speeds exceeding 120 km/h, during idle parking, in N/P gear, or in manual mode—especially when climbing hills. Doing so would not only fail to demonstrate the fuel-saving characteristics of ECO mode but also negatively impact vehicle power. Additionally, ECO mode typically becomes ineffective under the following circumstances: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h, the system prioritizes speed, causing ECO mode to deactivate automatically. During idle parking or when in N/P gear or manual mode, ECO mode may also become ineffective. When high torque output is required, such as when climbing a hill, the engine control unit prioritizes delivering sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and ECO mode will not operate.

What to Pay Attention to When Pre-ordering a Car Without Stock Availability

When pre-ordering a car without stock availability, pay attention to the following points: 1. Model and Price: Gain thorough understanding of the model, including basic configuration differences and price discounts. After preliminary research on models and discount ranges, negotiate with sales consultants at 4S dealerships—comparison shopping is recommended. 2. Purchase Contract: Before signing the order contract, finalize pricing and included freebies. Pay attention to the order type when drafting the contract. Additionally, clearly specify agent fees for insurance and purchase tax in written remarks, along with deposit amount and vehicle delivery timeline. Clearly define breach of contract liabilities to prevent future disputes.
