Retreaded tires that are produced with national approval can be used for daily purposes. However, retreaded tires produced by unscrupulous vendors for profit-making purposes, through counterfeiting or lacking proper retreading technology and substandard techniques, can easily explode and cause traffic accidents. It is recommended not to use such tires. Below is additional information: 1. Introduction to Retreaded Tires: Retreaded tires, also known as retreaded-tyre in English, refer to tires that can continue to be used after being retreaded. These tires are not as strong or safe as new tires and are generally only installed on the rear axle of a vehicle, used in conjunction with new tires, and are not suitable for the front axle. 2. Development Prospects and Significance of Tire Retreading: Retreaded tires are a positive approach to the recycling of waste tires, representing an extension and reprocessing of the tire industry. They hold significant importance in promoting resource conservation and comprehensive utilization, as well as fostering the transformation of economic growth patterns and sustainable development. In terms of prospects, the retreading of waste tires, like the tire industry itself, is an indispensable sector in the automotive industry and transportation.

Refurbished tires are usable, but as someone who has driven for many years, I must emphasize safety concerns. They are significantly cheaper, which is great for budget-conscious car owners, allowing savings to be spent on other maintenance. However, quality issues cannot be ignored—some refurbishing processes are poor, such as incomplete buffing of old treads, leading to weak adhesion of new rubber, increasing the risk of blowouts or rapid wear at high speeds or on rough roads. My advice is to use them only for short urban trips, avoiding long-distance or high-speed driving. When purchasing, opt for reputable brands, check tread depth and production date, and ensure no damage. Don’t forget regular checks on tire pressure and balance—safe driving is paramount. Environmentally, they’re beneficial by recycling tires and reducing waste, but never gamble with safety.

What does it mean when the set light on the car is on?

When the set light on the car is on, it indicates abnormal tire pressure, and the tire pressure needs to be checked promptly. Its function is to adjust the tire pressure to the standard level. Press and hold the set button for three seconds while observing the speedometer. After hearing a beep, the tire pressure monitoring value will be calibrated accordingly. When there is abnormal tire pressure, a warning indicator will appear on the dashboard. Common knowledge for checking tire pressure safety: 1. Observe the tire condition before driving; 2. Pay attention to the friction sound between the tires and the ground while driving; 3. Be mindful of the cushioning force when driving on bumpy roads; 4. Regularly check and replenish the tire pressure; 5. Regularly clean particles and dirt from the tire surface.

What are the reasons why the battery of Wuling Zhiguang cannot be charged?

Wuling Zhiguang's battery cannot be charged due to reasons such as dried-up electrolyte in the battery, broken plates, or short-circuited plates. The most common and primary reason is plate sulfation, which obstructs the normal flow of electrons, leading to reduced battery capacity, inability to function properly, and gradual aging. If a battery is left unused for a long time or is chronically undercharged, plate sulfation can occur. For batteries that have been in use for more than 3 years, it is recommended to replace them with a new one. For batteries with shorter usage periods that have experienced mild sulfation due to short-term excessive discharge, a low-current, long-duration charging method can be used for recovery. However, the battery capacity can only be restored to about 80% of its rated capacity. There are several main reasons for the early failure of vehicle batteries: Deep discharge: When the vehicle is parked but the lighting or other electronic devices remain on, the battery continues to discharge. Prolonged discharge significantly reduces the battery's lifespan. Overcharging or engine overheating causing electrolyte evaporation: Since the electrolyte is composed of specialized sulfuric acid and distilled water in a specific ratio, engine overheating will accelerate the evaporation of distilled water, disrupting the balance between sulfuric acid and distilled water in the electrolyte and shortening the battery's lifespan. Loose alternator belt leading to insufficient charging: The vehicle's alternator supplies power to the electronic devices and charges the battery while the vehicle is in use (except during idle). If the alternator belt is too loose, it will result in insufficient charging of the battery, affecting its normal operation.

What is Gasoline Additive?

Gasoline additive, short for fuel additive, is designed to compensate for the inherent quality issues of fuel and the limitations in automotive mechanical manufacturing. It enables gasoline engines to overcome the cold shock effect and crevice effect, serving to remove carbon deposits from intake valves and fuel injectors. The composition and functions of gasoline additives can be categorized into: 1. Maintenance-type fuel additives: They envelop carbon deposit particles formed through oxidative condensation reactions at high temperatures, preventing them from growing larger; 2. Cleaning-type fuel additives: When carbon deposits accumulate on the surfaces of fuel injectors and intake valves, cleaning-type additives utilize surfactants to penetrate the pores of carbon deposits, disrupt their structure, segment and envelop the carbon particles, and dissolve them for expulsion through exhaust emissions.

What does it mean when the battery indicator light comes on after a car self-check?

It is normal for the battery indicator light to come on after a car self-check, as it is used to display the working status of the car battery. The light is usually red or yellow and will turn off after the vehicle starts. If the battery indicator light remains on after the car starts, it indicates an abnormal situation. The possible reasons for the light staying on are: 1. There is a fault in the charging system; 2. The battery voltage is slightly low; 3. The generator belt is broken; 4. There is a fault in the power supply circuit. The maintenance methods for a car battery include: 1. Avoid parking in an open parking lot for extended periods; 2. Avoid repeatedly starting the vehicle without interruption; 3. Regularly check accessories and connecting lines; 4. Do not use car electronics after the engine is turned off.
