Spare tires should not be installed on the front wheels for regular use, as they are designed for emergency purposes only and are not suitable as normal tires. Below is relevant information about spare tires: 1. Spare tire sizes: There are two types of spare tires - full-size and compact (non-full-size). Full-size spares have identical specifications to regular tires and can be used for extended periods when installed. 2. Different wear coefficients: However, since the wear coefficient, tire pressure, and other parameters differ between the spare and the other three tires, prolonged use is not recommended, and the normal tire should be reinstalled promptly. Compact spare tires are smaller than regular tires, with a speed limit of 40 km/h, making them unsuitable for front-wheel installation. In case of tire issues, it's advisable to replace with a normal tire as soon as possible to avoid safety hazards during driving.

Is it normal for the car dashboard to display odo?

It is normal for the car dashboard to display odo. ODO on a car represents the total mileage traveled by the vehicle. ODO is the abbreviation of the English word odograph (representing total mileage, automatic odometer). The corresponding term is TRIP, which in English means short-distance mileage, also known as the trip meter. It is used to help users calculate the kilometers traveled for each trip, i.e., the distance recorded after manually resetting the odometer. Below are the meanings of other automotive terms: 1. ECO: ECO indicates that the car has activated the energy-saving mode, which has little impact on the vehicle itself. The main principle is to make a comprehensive judgment on the automatic transmission gear, engine speed, and transmission oil temperature during driving, controlling the engine speed with appropriate gears, and finally calculating the optimal fuel amount by the computer to provide the engine for operation. The original design concept was based on environmental and economic considerations to save fuel. 2. PS: The PS displayed on the car dashboard is the power steering lock indicator, and the steering wheel lock light disappears after starting the car. 3. AC: The AC button is the switch for the car air conditioning's cooling function, meaning that the air conditioning compressor will only work when this button is pressed, and the air blown out by the blower will be cold.

How to Tell If Car AC Refrigerant is Low?

In the refrigeration system, insufficient refrigerant will cause the evaporator to "stop vaporization", and the compressor intake pressure will consequently drop. Even if the refrigeration system is still running, the air temperature inside the vehicle will rise. The refrigerant level can be checked through the sight glass, generally by two methods: 1. Visual and tactile empirical judgment - If the refrigerant liquid appears cloudy or foamy in the sight glass, it indicates insufficient refrigerant and possible leakage; simultaneously, there should be no significant temperature difference between the high and low pressure pipes when touched by hand (normally the high pressure pipe is hot while the low pressure pipe is cool). 2. Pressure judgment method: Various conditions of the refrigeration system can be determined from the high and low pressure gauges of the compressor. The pressure judgment procedure is as follows: (1) Run the engine at a higher idle speed (about 1000r/min), and set the cabin air temperature to around 21°C. At this time, the high pressure reading should be 1034kpa. If the ambient temperature is lower and the high pressure is below this value, partially block the condenser coils with newspaper or cardboard to increase the pressure. (2) If the ambient temperature is too low, stop the fan and use a heater to warm the cabin air. (3) When the ambient temperature is above 27°C, the high pressure will exceed 1034kpa. (4) Under the above conditions, the sight glass should be clean, transparent, and free of visible bubbles, otherwise it indicates insufficient refrigerant in the system.

How to Replace the Wiper Blades on a Levin?

Press the clip at the bottom, then remove the original wiper blade from one side, but be very careful to avoid the wiper arm snapping back. Lift the front end of the middle clip slightly, insert the wiper blade into the middle clip, pull it tight, and you will hear a click indicating successful installation.

Where is the tire pressure sensor located?

Tire pressure monitoring sensors are installed on the tires, usually at the valve stem position. The tire pressure monitoring display is typically placed on the center console. The central area of the center console houses many electronic devices, which may cause some interference with radio frequencies, especially from devices like electronic eyes. Tire pressure warning light: The tire pressure monitoring indicator is a yellow symbol featuring an irregular circle without a seal on top, with four small spikes at the bottom and an exclamation mark inside. When the tire pressure monitoring light illuminates, it indicates abnormal tire pressure. Abnormal tire pressure generally occurs due to the following three reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: The system typically triggers an alarm when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In such cases, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are necessary. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset promptly, the system continues to record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring light to stay on. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is directly installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged due to impact while driving, it can also cause the tire pressure warning light to illuminate. For sensor damage issues, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.

How to Add Refrigerant to a Car Air Conditioner?

Connect the refrigerant gauge to the air conditioning system (both high and low-pressure pipes), then proceed to evacuate the system, selecting low-pressure evacuation. Generally, there's no need to monitor the negative pressure value during evacuation. Evacuate for 3 minutes, then tighten the low-pressure gauge switch. After that, you can connect the refrigerant canister to begin the refill process.
