Tire sidewall punctures cannot be repaired and require replacement. In addition to sidewall punctures necessitating tire replacement, the following situations also require immediate tire replacement: 1. The diameter of a puncture hole in the tread exceeds 6 millimeters; 2. Deformation of the bead or tread, rubber corrosion, or tire damage due to underinflation; 3. The tire has been repaired more than four times for punctures. Below are some precautions regarding tire punctures: 1. Whether the nail is in the sidewall or tread, do not remove it immediately. Drive to a nearby repair shop for assistance. Sometimes, removing the nail may not cause immediate air leakage, but it still requires attention. 2. For sidewall punctures, replacement is strongly recommended. The sidewall is the weakest part of the tire, constructed with two layers of rubber and two layers of cord. Passenger car tires for shock absorption do not have steel belts in the sidewalls.

What Causes the Noise in Newly Replaced Shock Absorbers?

Shock absorbers may produce abnormal noises due to improper installation of the new shock absorbers, quality issues with the new shock absorbers, or the shock absorbers not being original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. Below are solutions for shock absorber noise: 1. If none of the above reasons apply, you can also check whether the suspension bushings have aged, as worn suspension bushings can cause suspension looseness, leading to a gurgling noise from the shock absorbers. 2. If the shock absorber spring is deformed, it can also cause noise. In this case, simply replacing the shock absorber spring will resolve the issue. 3. The noise from the shock absorber might actually be from the wheel bearings. If this is the case, replacing them directly is the solution. It's important to note that if the shock absorber is faulty, it must be replaced, as it cannot be repaired.

How to Adjust Electric Mirrors?

Electric mirrors can be adjusted by using the electric mirror adjustment button located on the left side of the driver's door. Here, 'L' represents the left rearview mirror, and 'R' represents the right rearview mirror. The mirrors are positioned on both sides of the car's front and inside the vehicle's cabin, reflecting the conditions behind, beside, and below the car, thereby expanding the driver's field of vision. Precautions for using mirrors: 1. Each vehicle is equipped with side mirrors on both the left and right sides and an interior rearview mirror. Their positions and angles should be appropriate for the vehicle model. 2. Before starting the car, the driver should observe the side and rear areas for any approaching vehicles or other traffic conditions through the rearview mirrors to make quick and accurate judgments and decisions. 3. When driving on multi-lane roads where frequent lane changes are necessary, always use the rearview mirrors to accurately observe the traffic conditions behind and to the sides. Avoid changing lanes if there is a vehicle approaching from behind.
