Tire sidewall cracks can be divided into the following two situations: 1. If the cracks on the tire sidewall are caused by normal rubber aging, then it does not affect usage. 2. If the cracks on the tire sidewall are caused by being cut by sharp objects, it is recommended to replace the car tire promptly to avoid driving risks. The following is an introduction to the functions of tires: 1. Tires are the medium for transmitting forces between the vehicle and the road: They transmit driving force, braking force, steering force, etc., thereby enabling operations such as driving, braking, and steering. 2. Supporting vehicle load: The vehicle load causes the tire to sink until the average pressure on the tire contact area balances with the internal inflation pressure of the tire. 3. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts during driving: This prevents early damage to car components caused by severe vibrations, while also adapting to high-speed driving conditions and reducing driving noise, ensuring driving safety, comfort, handling stability, and fuel economy.

Why does the Civic's 47-liter tank only require 37 liters to fill up?

The reason why the Civic's 47-liter tank only requires 37 liters to fill up is that there is typically about 10 liters of engine oil remaining in the car when the system prompts for refueling. Therefore, only 37 liters need to be added to reach full capacity. Below is detailed information about automotive engine oil: Overview: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), has a density of approximately 0.91×10³ (kg/m³). It serves multiple functions including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leakage prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption. Composition: Engine oil consists of two main components - base oil and additives. Base oil forms the primary constituent of lubricants, determining their fundamental properties. Additives are used to compensate for and improve any deficiencies in the base oil's performance while imparting new characteristics, making them an essential component of lubricants.

How long does it usually take to reissue a driver's license?

If you lose your driver's license and need to reissue it, it usually takes 1-3 working days to get a new one. The following is relevant information about driver's license reissuance: 1. Procedure: The motor vehicle driver or agent should bring the above materials to the vehicle management office to handle the replacement procedure for a lost motor vehicle driver's license. According to relevant laws and regulations, the validity period of a motor vehicle driver's license is 6 years, 10 years, or long-term. Within 90 days before the expiration of the driver's license, you should apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office where the driver's license was issued. If a motor vehicle driver fails to renew the license within one year after its expiration, the driver's license will be automatically revoked by the system. 2. Application materials: (1) "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form". (2) The applicant's identity proof. (3) A written statement of the loss of the motor vehicle driver's license.

Where is the starter relay located in the Audi A4L?

The starter relay position in the Audi A4 is on the left side of the drainage trough, next to the engine control unit. Working principle of the relay: The coil of the starter relay is connected in series with the operating winding of the compressor motor. During motor startup and operation, the operating current passes through the relay coil, while the control contacts are connected in series with the startup winding, controlling its opening and closing. The relay's control contacts are normally open. When power is initially applied, only the relay coil and operating winding carry current. Since the rotor is stationary, the startup current is very high, causing the relay coil to attract the armature upward, closing the moving and stationary contacts to engage the startup winding, allowing the compressor to begin rotating. As the speed increases, the current decreases, and the armature falls back by its own weight, opening the contacts to complete the startup process. Function of the starter relay: It assists the motor in starting and automatically disconnects the auxiliary winding after startup to prevent burning out the auxiliary winding coil. When the motor's operating winding is energized and transitions to normal operation, the starter relay cuts off the power to the startup winding.

What is the turning radius of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class?

The turning radius of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is 5.62m. When the steering wheel is turned to its limit position, the distance from the turning center to the ground contact center of the front outer steering wheel is called the minimum turning radius, which reflects the car's ability to pass through curved roads with the smallest radius of curvature and to make U-turns on narrow roads. The smaller the minimum turning radius, the better the car's maneuverability. The turning radius of a car is determined by factors such as the wheelbase, track width, and the maximum steering angle of the steering wheels. It should be carefully selected during design based on the car's type, purpose, road conditions, structural characteristics, and dimensions such as wheelbase. For safety reasons, off-road vehicles generally have a relatively large turning radius because their higher center of gravity makes them more prone to rollover accidents during sharp turns if the minimum turning radius is too small. Therefore, off-road vehicles are usually designed with a larger minimum turning radius. When turning, vehicles often encounter situations where they cannot complete the turn in one go or overshoot the turn. Several influencing factors include excessively narrow roads or large turning angles, insufficient turning radius design of the vehicle, and the driver's choice of turning path.

How much is the compulsory traffic insurance and vehicle and vessel tax for a 3.6L displacement vehicle?

Here is a detailed introduction to the prices of compulsory traffic insurance and vehicle and vessel tax for a 3.6L displacement vehicle: 1. Vehicle and vessel tax: For passenger vehicles with a seating capacity of 9 people (including the driver) or fewer, the tax is categorized based on engine cylinder capacity (displacement). For displacements above 3.0L up to 4.0L (inclusive), the annual base tax amount ranges from 2,400 yuan to 3,600 yuan per vehicle. 2. Compulsory traffic insurance: The compulsory traffic insurance is charged based on the vehicle model, with different price standards for different vehicle types. For example, a family-use car with 6 seats or fewer requires an annual payment of 950 yuan for compulsory traffic insurance; a non-business-use car for enterprises with 6 seats or fewer requires an annual payment of 1,100 yuan for compulsory traffic insurance. For a 3.6L family-use car with 6 seats or fewer, the total annual cost of compulsory traffic insurance plus vehicle and vessel tax ranges from 3,350 yuan to 4,550 yuan.

What are the dimensions of the Civic?

The dimensions of the Civic are 4535mm in length, 1755mm in width, and 1450mm in height. Compared to the eighth-generation model, the ninth-generation Civic is 35mm longer, with a wheelbase of 2670mm, which is 30mm shorter. The ninth-generation Civic adds a 2.0L engine (TYPE-S version) based on the original 1.8L engine. The 2.0L engine has a maximum power of 114KW (155PS) and a peak torque of 190Nm, paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission. The 1.8L model can be matched with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic transmission. There are national regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard "GB1589-89", the total width of a vehicle does not include the rearview mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. In other words, the significance of vehicle width data in the national standard is to ensure enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, the national regulation stipulates that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the usage requirements of public roads.
