Spare tires can be used on the highway. The details of various spare tires are as follows: 1. Full-size spare tires have no restrictions on mileage or speed and can replace any tire that is temporarily or permanently unusable. 2. Non-full-size spare tires can only be used on non-driving wheels, and the maximum speed should not exceed 80km/h. This is because the diameter and width of such spare tires are slightly smaller than the other four tires, making them suitable only for temporary replacement. 3. Run-flat tires (commonly known as "anti-blowout tires") do not lose air or lose air very slowly when punctured. They can maintain their driving profile, and the tire bead remains fixed on the rim, ensuring the car can drive to a service station for a long time or temporarily stable.

What is the Function of a Central Differential Lock?

The function of a central differential lock: It can enhance the vehicle's off-road capability on poor road surfaces. When one of the vehicle's drive axles spins freely, it can quickly lock the differential, turning the two drive axles into a rigid connection. This allows most of the torque to be transferred to the non-slipping drive axle, fully utilizing the traction to generate sufficient driving force, enabling the vehicle to continue moving. The central differential lock, also known as the central differential locker, is a locking mechanism installed on the central differential, used in four-wheel-drive vehicles. Different differentials employ various locking methods. Common differential locks include the following types: forced locking, high-friction self-locking, jaw coupling, Torsen, and viscous coupling.

What is the working principle of the intake pressure sensor?

The working principle of the intake pressure sensor: It detects the changes in the absolute pressure in the intake manifold based on the engine speed and load, then converts it into a signal voltage and sends it to the engine control unit. The engine control unit uses this signal voltage to determine the basic fuel injection quantity. There are various types of intake pressure sensors, including piezoresistive and capacitive types. Due to its fast response time, high detection accuracy, small size, and flexible installation, the piezoresistive type is widely used in D-type injection systems. The pressure sensor measures pressure using a pressure chip, which is the core component of the sensor.

Where is the fuel filler switch for the Audi A6?

The Audi A6 does not have a dedicated fuel filler switch. After turning off the vehicle, you need to press the fuel tank cap to open it. The fuel tank cap switch is located under the driver's door and is integrated with the front engine compartment switch. Pressing this electronic switch will open the fuel tank cap cover. The Audi A6 has body dimensions of 4886mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1475mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2850mm. The vehicle is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission and features such as ABS anti-lock braking, brake force distribution, engine electronic immobilizer, remote key, central locking, in-car CD player, and auto-dimming rearview mirror. The front suspension is a multi-link independent suspension, while the rear suspension is a longitudinal trailing arm torsion beam suspension.

How many kilometers do winter tires need to be replaced?

Winter tires need to be replaced after driving 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers, and the specific situation should be judged according to the degree of tire damage. The tread material of winter tires is softer, and the silica-mixed rubber compound can contact the smooth ice surface more closely, generating greater friction than all-season tires, improving the vehicle's handling and safety on smooth ice surfaces. Winter tires are specifically designed for winter conditions, such as snowy and icy climates and areas with lower temperatures. Their tread patterns usually use cross-Z-shaped siping technology, which can improve braking performance on snow and ice, shorten braking distances, and provide ideal traction.
