Tires with sidewall damage are not recommended for repair; it is advised to replace the tire. Here are the detailed reasons: 1. Reason one: The sidewall is the weakest part of the tire, and during normal driving, the sidewall flexes to absorb minor road bumps. Because the sidewall flexes, it cannot be repaired and needs to be replaced as soon as possible. 2. Reason two: When driving, the tire rubs against the road, generating heat. Due to thermal expansion, the air inside the tire expands, and the damaged sidewall, with its thinner rubber, may not withstand the internal pressure, leading to a blowout. A blowout poses a significant safety risk while driving. Therefore, a tire with sidewall cracks should not be repaired but replaced promptly.

What is the power of the Beijing EU7 electric motor?

Beijing EU7 electric motor has a power of 160kW and a maximum torque of 300 Nm. Here is the introduction of this car's motor: 1. Generally, gasoline engines and diesel engines need to reach a certain speed to output maximum torque, while electric motors do not. 2. When a pure electric vehicle is stationary, stepping on the accelerator pedal to the floor will immediately output the maximum torque of the motor. This power output method of the motor is more suitable for use in stop-and-go urban roads. 3. This car uses a ternary lithium battery. Most pure electric vehicles use ternary lithium batteries, which are lighter in weight and have higher energy density.

What are the correct steps for driving over speed bumps?

The correct way to drive over speed bumps is to pass vertically with both wheels at low speed. Common incorrect methods for crossing speed bumps include: 1. Driving with only one side of the tires to bypass the speed bump; 2. Passing over the speed bump at high speed; 3. Crossing the speed bump diagonally. Speed bumps, also known as speed humps, are traffic facilities installed on roads to slow down passing vehicles. They typically come in strip or dot shapes, made primarily of rubber or sometimes metal. Speed bumps are usually painted in alternating yellow and black colors for visual attention, with a slightly raised surface to achieve the purpose of vehicle deceleration. They are generally installed at road intersections, industrial and mining areas, schools, residential communities, and other sections where vehicles need to slow down.

Should the Engine Be Turned Off When Refueling a Car?

When refueling a car, the engine should be turned off. If the vehicle is not turned off while refueling at a gas station, even though the car body is not moving, the engine is still running at high speed. A running engine has electric current flowing through it, and if there is a short circuit or leakage in the circuit at this time, it can be very dangerous. When refueling, the engine must be turned off first before adding fuel. During the refueling process, if the staff has not closed the fuel nozzle, the car must absolutely not be started. Precautions for refueling: 1. It is not advisable to fill the fuel tank completely when driving in the city; 2. Do not wait until the yellow light comes on to refuel; 3. Do not randomly add gasoline of different grades, and never mix them.

How many liters of transmission oil does the Audi A6 require?

Audi A6 transmission oil requires 6 liters, with 12 liters prepared for a flush oil change. It is recommended to replace the oil filter screen simultaneously during the oil change. Below are extended details about the transmission: 1. The transmission primarily refers to the car's gearbox. It is divided into manual and automatic types. The manual transmission mainly consists of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque variation through different gear combinations. The automatic transmission (AT) is composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, and a hydraulic control system, utilizing hydraulic power transmission and gear combinations to achieve speed and torque variation. 2. Since the torque converter's automatic speed and torque variation range is not sufficiently broad, several rows of planetary gears are connected in series behind the turbine to enhance efficiency. The hydraulic control system automatically operates the planetary gears in response to changes in engine operation, thereby achieving automatic speed and torque variation. To meet various needs during driving (such as parking and reversing), conventional automatic transmissions also include manual lever positions like P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), and D (Drive).

What kind of engine oil does the Haval H2S use?

Haval H2S's original factory engine oil brand is Total. If you want to change the oil during later maintenance, you can choose brands such as Shell, Mobil, or Castrol. The recommended oil specification for the Haval H2S in the official manual is 5W-30. Any oil that meets this specification can be used. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so special attention should be paid to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity. 5W means it can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, making cold starts smoother. The second number represents the kinematic viscosity of the oil at 100°C. A higher number means the oil can maintain its viscosity better at high temperatures, which can also be understood as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil in a Haval H2S is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, which also allows the oil to flow back into the oil pan. Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan underneath to catch the old oil until it stops flowing. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain out. Use a specialized wrench to remove the oil filter. Apply some oil to the gasket of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand. Add the new oil through the oil filler cap on the engine valve cover. Generally, fill about three-quarters of a standard oil container. Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, then check for leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If there are any leaks, perform necessary repairs. After stopping the engine, pull out the dipstick to check that the oil level is within the standard range.

Does crossing the line during a yellow light count as running a red light?

Crossing the line during a yellow light does not count as running a red light. Electronic traffic enforcement typically requires at least three photos as evidence to determine a red-light violation, which are then reviewed by traffic police before a final determination is made. The three photos must show: first, the vehicle behind the stop line when the red light is on; second, the vehicle's front wheels crossing the stop line; and third, the entire vehicle having completely passed the stop line. If these three photos demonstrate that the vehicle moved beyond the stop line while the red light was on, the traffic police can confirm it as a red-light violation. Traffic lights, also known as traffic signals, are indicators that guide vehicles and pedestrians on when to proceed or stop. They are usually installed at intersections and other locations requiring traffic control, and generally consist of red, green, and yellow lights.
