Tire sidewall with a small chunk of rubber missing can generally be used as long as the inner cord layer is not exposed, and only the rubber is damaged. Moreover, if the damage is very small and shallow, it can be ignored. If the damage is deep, it is recommended to replace the tire for safety. Relevant information about tubeless tires is as follows: 1. Introduction: Tubeless tires, also known as "low-pressure tires" or "pneumatic tires," have high elasticity and wear resistance, good adhesion and heat dissipation performance, especially all-steel radial tubeless tires which are economical and durable. 2. Scope of application: Tubeless tires have been increasingly used in bicycles, motorcycles, cars, buses, and trucks in recent years.

What is the normal current for a car battery?

Car battery current is considered normal when it reaches 300-400A. Factors determining current size: The current size depends on the number of electrical appliances in use. For example, just turning on an interior light might consume about 0.3A. Factors affecting battery working current: The working current of a battery depends on its model, i.e., capacity, which is usually labeled on the casing. The higher the working current, the shorter the duration. For instance, a 20Ah battery discharging at 2 amps can last for 10 hours before needing a recharge. The instantaneous maximum current can reach 70 to 100 amps or even higher. However, it's important to note that excessively high currents can lead to problems, including the risk of battery explosion.

What does the master warning light mean?

The master warning light may indicate the following issues: overheating of the dry dual-clutch transmission clutch; fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction; parking sensor failure; external light failure; engine oil pressure sensor failure; traction control system warning or malfunction. Triangle with an exclamation mark inside: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside is a general fault indicator light, mainly indicating issues such as overheating of the dry dual-clutch transmission clutch, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, parking sensor failure, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, or traction control system warning or malfunction. Circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark inside: This is the brake system warning light. It typically lights up for a few seconds when the ignition is turned on and turns off after the engine starts. It lights up when the handbrake is engaged and turns off when released. It also lights up when the brake fluid level is too low or when there is a malfunction in the brake system while driving. Horizontal line with parentheses and an exclamation mark below: This is the tire pressure monitoring warning light. It lights up when the pressure in one of the vehicle's tires is too low.

How to Check China 6a or China 6b?

To determine whether a vehicle complies with China 6a or China 6b standards, you can check the relevant information on the vehicle's certificate of conformity or the environmental protection information list provided with the vehicle. Alternatively, you can use specialized websites for verification. Check the Certificate of Conformity: The vehicle's certificate of conformity contains key information, including the emission standard the vehicle complies with. Check the Environmental Protection List: Review the environmental protection information list provided with the vehicle when purchasing through official channels. The first section of this list includes details about the vehicle's emission stage, clearly indicating the emission standard of the model. Query via Specialized Websites: Use specialized websites to verify the emission standard. After identifying the specific model you intend to purchase, locate the vehicle identification numbers, such as the engine number and chassis number. Then, visit the official vehicle environmental protection website and enter these numbers to access the vehicle's environmental protection information, including the applicable emission standard.

Can You Add Tap Water to a Car's Radiator?

You should not add tap water to a car's radiator. Correct Practice: When replenishing or replacing coolant, you should use coolant instead of water as a substitute. Of course, if you are driving and notice that the car's temperature gauge is running too high and you cannot find coolant immediately, you can temporarily use some bottled purified water as a stopgap measure. This is acceptable for a short period, but you should replace it with coolant as soon as possible. Boiling Point of Coolant: The boiling point of coolant is above 120 degrees Celsius, while water boils at only 100 degrees Celsius. Using coolant prevents your car from "overheating" in the summer. Effects of Using Water Instead of Coolant: Using water instead of coolant can lead to the formation of scale, requiring frequent replacement, whereas coolant does not have this issue. Impact of Water on the Cooling System: Water can cause some corrosion to the cooling system, while coolant contains additives that prevent corrosion and rust. Therefore, to maintain your most fuel-efficient family car, you should use coolant in the summer and never substitute it with tap water.

What Causes the Mismatch Between Speed and Gear?

Speed is controlled by the accelerator pedal, while gears are selected manually. A mismatch between vehicle speed and gear refers to a lack of coordination in operation. Low speed should correspond to low gear, medium speed to medium gear, and high speed to high gear. Gear shifting should be based on the vehicle's speed and the speedometer. Key points to note: 1. Use low gear at low speeds. The clutch provides more 'power,' making it easier to start and climb slopes; however, even with full throttle, low gear won't increase speed—it only consumes more fuel. 2. Use high gear at high speeds. The clutch's 'gear ratio' is higher, allowing for faster operation; but high gear offers less power, making the engine prone to stalling when encountering resistance or braking. Therefore, it's essential to match the vehicle's speed with the appropriate gear.

What are the causes of loud buzzing noise inside the car while driving?

The causes of loud buzzing noise inside the car while driving may be due to excessively high tire pressure, abnormal tire wear causing noise, or damaged wheel hub bearings producing noise. Adjusting tire pressure range: Excessively high tire pressure can cause noise. During normal vehicle use, the tire pressure should be adjusted within the standard range, typically 2.3bar-2.5bar. If the tire pressure is too high, it can lead to severe wear on the tire crown area, reducing the tire's shock absorption performance and significantly increasing tire noise. Abnormal tire wear: Abnormal tire wear can cause noise. The tire crown area contacts and rubs against the ground. If the tire crown area wears unevenly and has an irregular surface, it will produce a buzzing noise. Damaged wheel hub bearings: Damaged wheel hub bearings can produce noise. After the wheel hub bearings wear out, they can cause a buzzing noise. The main reason is long-term use leading to wear and looseness of the wheel hub bearings. During normal vehicle use, avoiding severe impacts on the wheels and prolonged water exposure can help protect the wheel hub bearings.
