Tires with side cracks can be used for a short time. However, they should not be used on highways. For safety reasons, it is recommended to replace the tire. Relevant information about tire cracks is as follows: Impact of driving on highways with cracked tires: Cracks on the tire indicate that the tire has severely aged and cannot withstand prolonged high-speed driving, increasing the risk of accidents on highways. Tire mileage and age: Generally, the service life of a tire is 5-6 years, with a mileage of 70,000-80,000 kilometers. However, it should be noted that the lifespan is determined by whichever comes first, mileage or age. Even if the car is not driven frequently, the rubber can harden and become brittle, increasing the risk of a tire blowout.

Where is the warm air switch of Hongqi H5?

The warm air switch of Hongqi H5 is located on the air conditioning fan or AC switch. Introduction to Hongqi H5: The Hongqi H5 is a new model under the Hongqi brand. The H5 largely retains the design of the Hongqi B-Concept concept car, featuring an inverted trapezoidal front grille connected to the headlights with vertical chrome trim strips inside. It is equipped with a 1.8T engine, rated power of 131kw, torque of 250Nm, and matched with a 6AT transmission. Precautions for using warm air: In winter, many car owners turn on the heating as soon as they start the car because they are afraid of the cold. In fact, since the engine has just started in winter and the water tank temperature is still low, turning on the air conditioning not only fails to quickly increase the temperature inside the car but also adds burden to the engine, delaying the normal rise in engine temperature. The correct approach is to start the engine for preheating first. Wait until the engine temperature pointer reaches the middle position, then turn on the warm air conditioning and set the air circulation to external circulation to expel the cold air inside the car. After 2 to 3 minutes, set the air circulation to internal circulation.

How Many More Years Can National V Emission Standard Vehicles Be Driven?

National V vehicles can likely be used for about 4 more years. Here are some details about National V vehicles: 1. National V vehicles refer to emission standards set by the government at different stages; the main purpose is to control and reduce vehicle pollutant emissions, with later standards being more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. 2. Compared to the Phase IV standards, the implementation of National V standards will significantly reduce vehicle pollutant emissions. New vehicles will see a 25% reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions and an 80% reduction in particulate matter emissions, while in-use vehicles will experience an overall reduction of 10% to 15% in emissions, which is of great significance for improving air quality.

Why Does the Transmission Have Shift Shock?

Transmission shift shock is a particularly challenging and complex type of fault in automatic transmissions, involving a wide range of issues and numerous potential failure points, making troubleshooting difficult. The following factors can influence shift shock faults: 1. Mechanical faults: such as improper assembly clearance of automatic transmission friction plates, improperly installed snap rings, etc. 2. Hydraulic circuit faults: such as improper adjustment of the throttle cable, misaligned steel balls in the valve body, incorrect accumulator oil pressure adjustment, blocked shift valve or sequence valve circuits, unsynchronized brakes and clutches, excessive wear of throttle orifices, etc. 3. Electrical circuit faults: such as faults in the throttle position sensor, flow sensor, vehicle speed sensor, or shift solenoid valves.

What Are the Precautions for Safe Driving in Summer?

To ensure safe driving in summer, in addition to complying with traffic regulations, the following precautions should be taken: 1. Avoid fatigue driving: Ensure sufficient sleep to stay alert. If you feel drowsy while driving, pull over promptly and take a short rest. 2. Choose and use sunglasses correctly: Do not select sunglasses that are too dark. Opt for polarized sunglasses as they can filter out harmful light. 3. Do not drive in slippers: Hot summer weather can cause sweaty feet, increasing the risk of accidents in emergencies. 4. Prevent tire blowouts in high temperatures: Summer temperatures can cause road surfaces to exceed 60 degrees Celsius. Prolonged driving raises tire temperature, potentially leading to overheating and increased tire pressure, which heightens the risk of blowouts.
