It is not recommended to continue driving with uneven tread. The vehicle's weight can crush the tires, potentially causing wheel rim deformation. If forced to drive under such conditions, you may eventually need to replace both the tires and rims. Driving with deformed tires also poses safety hazards. The following describes two different scenarios of unevenness on tire sidewalls: Dents: These are caused by joints in the tire carcass cords. Since joint areas have two layers of cords while other areas have only one, the joint areas actually have higher strength than other parts. During initial use, tires slightly expand under air pressure, with less expansion at joint areas, making them appear slightly indented. Bulges: These are caused by joints in the inner liner or sidewall rubber. As joint areas are thicker, they appear slightly raised when inflated.

What is the concept of ignition advance angle?

Ignition advance angle refers to the crankshaft angle at which the engine ignites before the piston reaches the top dead center of compression. Here is its introduction: 1. Function: There is a time process for the mixture to ignite, burn, and finish burning. The role of the optimal ignition advance angle is to ensure that the maximum gas expansion phase occurs during the piston's downward power stroke under various operating conditions. This results in the highest efficiency, minimal vibration, and the lowest temperature rise. 2. Influencing factors: The most significant factor affecting the ignition advance is the engine speed. As the speed increases, the time to rotate through the same angle becomes shorter, requiring a larger advance angle to achieve the corresponding advance time.

Should You Sell or Continue Driving a Car After Water Immersion?

After a car has been immersed in water, it is generally advisable to sell it, as the engine may sustain damage from water exposure. Relevant information regarding water immersion in vehicles is as follows: 1. Engine Damage: There are primarily two scenarios where engine damage occurs due to water immersion: prolonged soaking of the vehicle in water and attempting to restart the engine while submerged. 2. Auto Damage Insurance: Owners can only receive insurance compensation for water immersion if they have purchased "auto damage insurance." However, this mainly covers losses such as damage to seats and wiring caused by water immersion. Damage to the engine from driving through water or starting the engine while submerged is typically not covered by insurance.

What does the yellow exclamation mark in Wuling Hongguang Mini mean?

There are four possible scenarios when a yellow exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard: general fault, automatic transmission fault, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting fault. Below is a detailed analysis of these four situations: General Fault: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside indicates that the car's general performance or components and functions have malfunctioned. This mainly includes parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or failure, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. It is necessary to go to a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating that there is a fault in the transmission or the transmission lubricant is below the normal range. The transmission oil needs to be replaced in time. Abnormal Tire Pressure: A horizontal line under a bracket with an exclamation mark in the middle represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. When the car's tire pressure is too low, this warning light will come on. Check the car's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator light, indicating that a car light has malfunctioned. Solution: Go to a 4S shop for inspection and treatment as soon as possible, or you can check it yourself, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting, to see where the problem lies. There is also a red exclamation mark with a bracket and a circle in the middle, which represents a warning of the braking system, mainly including brake system failure and low brake fluid level. The braking system needs to be inspected and repaired immediately to avoid accidents.

Does the Bestune T99 come with a built-in dash cam?

Bestune T99 does not come with a standard dash cam, and it needs to be installed as an optional accessory. Functions of a dash cam: A dash cam is a device that records images, sounds, and other related information during vehicle travel. After installation, it can record the entire driving process in video and audio, providing evidence for traffic accidents. Considerations when purchasing: A dash cam should have good camera clarity and night shooting capability. High definition is determined by the main control chip of the dash cam, so car owners need to pay attention to the image processing solution of the main control chip. Additionally, the dash cam should have sufficient storage space to enable long-term effective recording.

What is the fuel consumption of the Jingyi X5 1.6L manual transmission?

The average real fuel consumption of the Jingyi X5 1.6L manual transmission is 8.9L/100KM. Factors affecting fuel consumption: The driver's driving habits, road conditions, the weight of items placed in the car, whether the air conditioning is on, and whether the vehicle is in the break-in period, among other factors, will all affect the vehicle's fuel consumption. Ways to reduce fuel consumption: Avoid prolonged idling or low-speed driving; avoid overloading the vehicle and keeping the fuel tank full; avoid using high-viscosity engine oil; try to control speed with the accelerator rather than the brakes; pay attention to vehicle maintenance, as scientific maintenance can make the car more fuel-efficient.

How to Use the Windshield Washer Function?

Pull the windshield wiper control lever toward the driver to activate the washer function. Below are detailed introductions about automotive windshield wipers: 1. Function of windshield wipers: Wipers are important accessories installed on windshields, designed to remove rain, snow, and dust that obstruct the view on the windshield glass. Thus, they play a crucial role in driving safety. 2. Categories of windshield wipers: Wipers generally include vacuum wipers, electric wipers, and wipers with electronic control units. The drawback of vacuum wipers is the unstable speed of the wiper blade movement. When the engine's vacuum level decreases (for example, when the car is climbing a slope), the wiper blade may stop, causing the driver's view to become obscured. Vacuum wipers were phased out in 1972 and replaced by electric wipers.
