Tire with a nail puncture but no air leak cannot continue to be used and should be repaired as soon as possible. The functions of a tire are: 1. To transmit driving force, braking force, and steering force for vehicle operation; 2. To support the vehicle load; 3. To reduce and absorb vibrations and impact forces during driving, preventing severe vibrations from damaging vehicle components. Tire maintenance methods include: 1. Regularly cleaning stones stuck in the tire treads; 2. Minimizing exposure to direct sunlight; 3. Promptly checking tire pressure; 4. Paying attention to suspension maintenance; 5. Periodically inspecting front wheel alignment; 6. Adopting careful driving practices, such as choosing smooth road surfaces and avoiding objects that could puncture or scratch the tires, as well as chemical spills that may corrode the tires.

Is a tire pressure of 2.8 high in summer?

Summer tire pressure of 2.8 is very high. Generally, the lower limit of the standard tire pressure for car tires is sufficient. For example, the lower limit for standard tires is 2.4bar. If the car is often parked outdoors, the tire pressure can generally be about 0.1bar lower than the standard to avoid tire blowouts due to high temperatures. This is not normal. According to the provisions and requirements of the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the tire pressures for different tires are as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9bar; Maximum pressure: Should not exceed 3.5bar. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: The friction and adhesion of the tires will decrease, affecting braking performance; It can cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates localized wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, reducing tire lifespan; Increases body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Causes excessive stretching and deformation of the tire cords, reducing the elasticity of the tire body and increasing the load on the car during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, and the impact can cause internal cracks and explosions, leading to tire blowouts.

Is a residence permit still required to obtain a driver's license in Foshan?

In Foshan, non-locals do not need to apply for a residence permit to obtain a driver's license. Currently, a residence permit is not required to take the driver's license test anywhere. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," there are two scenarios for taking the driver's license test in a different location: 1. Within the same province. Residents from different cities can apply directly with their ID cards and do not need to submit a residence permit or temporary residence registration certificate. 2. From another province. Residents working across provinces can apply for a small car driver's license anywhere in the province after obtaining a residence permit from any city within that province.

Is it necessary to install rain guards?

In general, it is not necessary to install rain guards. However, if the owner lives in a city with frequent rainy weather, installing rain guards can make driving more convenient. Rain guards are mainly installed on the left and right rearview mirrors and side windows of the car, serving functions such as maintaining clear rearview mirror visibility, shielding from rain, and blocking sunlight. Advantages of rain guards: 1. During rainy weather, when the window is slightly opened for ventilation, rain guards can prevent rainwater from entering the car interior; 2. To a certain extent, they can block direct sunlight from shining on the driver; 3. Installing rain guards on the left rearview mirror can prevent rainwater from blurring the mirror, allowing the driver to better judge the vehicles behind.

What does the steering wheel icon on the dashboard indicate?

The steering wheel icon on the dashboard indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's power steering system, which may result in reduced or complete loss of power steering assistance. Immediate repair is recommended. All vehicles are equipped with power steering systems, with three common types: Electric Power Steering (EPS), Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering (EHPS), and Mechanical Hydraulic Power Steering (MHPS). The dashboard is a rigid panel or structural component designed to house instruments and related devices. It comes in various forms, including screen-type, frame-type, passage-type, and cabinet-type dashboards. Standard automotive gauges typically include the speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure gauge, coolant temperature gauge, fuel gauge, and charging indicator.

Can You Continue Driving If the Car Thermostat Is Broken?

You can continue driving if the car thermostat is broken, but it will have certain negative effects on the vehicle, so it is not recommended. The thermostat is a device that controls the coolant's circulation between the large and small loops. If the thermostat is damaged, it can easily cause the engine temperature to become too high or too low. When the engine's coolant temperature drops below the normal range, the lubrication effect deteriorates, leading to increased engine wear and affecting normal operation. If the thermostat fails while driving, the car's coolant temperature can only remain normal at low speeds. If the speed increases slightly, the coolant temperature will drop significantly, preventing the engine from reaching its optimal operating temperature, which results in excessive noise.

What to Do When a White Car Scratches Black Paint?

The solution for a white car scratching black paint: You can use a touch-up pen for minor repairs. For more severe cases, you can sand off the paint at the scratched area with sandpaper and then respray the paint for treatment. Automotive painting refers to applying a layer of paint to the car's surface to protect it. Automotive painting typically uses baked paint. In car manufacturing plants, after the frame and body are welded, the next step is painting, which includes types like standard paint, metallic paint, and pearl paint. Choosing different types of automotive paint and colors can showcase the car's unique personality. Cars have high requirements for paint, not only demanding excellent mechanical performance but also strong scratch resistance and long-lasting gloss.
