If the punctured tire is a run-flat tire, it can continue to be used, but attention should be paid to not driving too fast or too far; if it is a regular tire, it cannot be used further. Precautions after a tire puncture: Whether the car uses regular tires or run-flat tires, they should be repaired or replaced as soon as possible to avoid safety hazards; when replacing the spare tire, the vehicle should be parked on a flat surface without obstructing other vehicles, and a triangular warning sign should be placed about 100 meters behind the car. Reasons why run-flat tires can continue to be used after being punctured: They have very resilient and supportive sidewalls, a design that helps the tire maintain contact with the rim and provide some support to the vehicle in case of a blowout or sudden loss of air pressure, ensuring the safety of the vehicle.

What does auto mean on the air conditioning?

Auto on the air conditioning refers to the automatic air conditioning mode. When the auto mode is activated, the system will control the air outlet temperature based on the in-car sensors (warm air in winter, cool air in summer). Additionally, it allows you to adjust the constant temperature setting to control the intensity and fan speed of the air conditioning. Here are some details about the automatic air conditioning mode: 1. During air conditioning operation, pressing the auto button and operating in automatic mode is more fuel-efficient than in manual mode. 2. When the air conditioning is in auto mode, the automatic air conditioning system can automatically adjust the air outlet temperature, blower speed, and airflow distribution to quickly reach the preset temperature and maintain a constant temperature.

Where is the Q5 fuse box located?

Audi Q5 fuse box is located inside the cover panel above the driver's footwell, on top of the 645 relay. Additional information: I. Steps to replace a fuse: 1. Before locating the fuse box, for safety reasons, please turn off the engine and power supply. 2. Find the corresponding location of the fuse box, and carefully pry open the cover panel with a screwdriver or other tools. Then, on the inner side of the cover panel, you can locate the corresponding component fuse based on the information provided. 3. Use a light to check if the corresponding fuse is damaged. If it is blown, proceed with replacement. 4. Only fuses with the same current rating (indicated by the same color and printed text) and identical size can be used for replacement. 5. After replacing the fuse, if the component still does not respond, it is advisable to seek repair at a maintenance shop as soon as possible. II. Precautions related to fuses: 1. Installing fuses of different specifications may cause damage to components or even pose a fire risk. 2. Never install a fuse that exceeds the rated current value. 3. Do not attempt to repair a damaged fuse. 4. Items such as metal wires cannot be used as substitutes for fuses.

What is the engine model of the BMW X4?

The engine model of the BMW X4 is B48B20B, with a maximum power of 185 kW, maximum torque of 350 Nm, maximum horsepower of 252 Ps, maximum power speed of 5200-6500 rpm, and maximum torque speed of 1450-4800 rpm. The engine of the BMW X4 is a modular engine from BMW, which is a product independently produced by BMW. For daily maintenance of the BMW X4 engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid faults, oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate. When oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, bringing dirt back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gas, acid, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, blocking the filter and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What is the difference between 95 and 92 gasoline prices?

95 gasoline is slightly more expensive than 92 gasoline. This is because 95 gasoline has a higher octane rating and fewer impurities, resulting in higher refining costs. Generally, the fuel tank of a vehicle will have the gasoline grade recommended by the manufacturer. You just need to refuel according to the grade indicated on the fuel tank. Here is some information about 95 and 92 gasoline: 1. 95 gasoline has higher combustion efficiency than 92 gasoline during medium to high-speed operation. However, 92 gasoline is more economical during low to medium-speed operation. 2. The gasoline grade is the ratio of the actual gasoline's anti-knock performance to that of standard gasoline. The higher the grade, the stronger the anti-knock performance. 95 gasoline has a higher octane rating, while 92 gasoline has a slightly lower octane rating. The octane rating of gasoline directly determines its anti-knock quality.

What are the reasons why a car cannot be turned off?

The reason why a car cannot be turned off is likely due to damage inside the ignition switch. The ignition switch has ACC, ON, and START positions. Turning to ACC powers the car's electrical equipment; ON powers the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), AIRBAG (airbag), fuel pump, and ECU power supply, among others; while START is for ignition. Solutions for not being able to turn off the car are as follows: 1. Directly disconnect the fuel line switch. This mechanical fuel line switch varies in location depending on the car model—some are under the seat, while others are on the lower left side of the steering wheel. 2. For electronically controlled diesel engines, similar to car keys, they only power on when in the ON position, with the ECU controlling the fuel injectors to spray fuel. Therefore, turning off the key for such diesel engines stops the fuel injectors, effectively cutting off the fuel supply.
