Run-flat tires can still be driven when completely flat, but only for a short distance. Here is some information about run-flat tires: 1. Run-flat tires are not actually explosion-proof. These tires can only rely on the support of their rigid sidewalls to allow the car to continue driving for a certain distance when the tire pressure is too low, enabling the driver to reach the nearest repair shop for tire repair. 2. The sidewalls of run-flat tires are very rigid and can fully support the vehicle's weight even when the tire is flat. 3. Due to their extremely rigid sidewalls, run-flat tires are very prone to sidewall bulges. When using run-flat tires, it is important to note that if driving over potholes or speed bumps, you should try to reduce speed as much as possible, otherwise the sidewalls of run-flat tires can easily develop bulges.

Why does the Nissan Qashqai make a clicking sound and fail to start?

Here are the possible reasons why the Nissan Qashqai makes a clicking sound and fails to start: 1. Reason one: The battery is faulty and cannot store power. If you can only hear the sound of the starter when trying to start the car, it is very likely that the battery is dead and unable to start the engine. 2. Reason two: The starter motor is faulty and cannot drive the flywheel to rotate. Check if the starter motor is working when attempting to start the vehicle. 3. Reason three: The vehicle's ignition system is faulty. Remove one of the ignition high-voltage wires from the engine, insert an old spark plug or other pen-shaped metal rod into the spark plug cap, and place the spark plug body or metal rod near the engine's metal part. Start the engine and observe if there is any high-voltage spark jumping. If not, check for issues with the ignition system.

Why Do Large Vehicles Need to Add Urea, and What Role Does It Play?

Adding urea to large vehicles is to reduce harmful nitrogen oxides in the exhaust into nitrogen and water, which can decrease nitrogen oxide compounds in vehicle emissions, reduce pollution, and improve the environmental friendliness of the vehicle. The consequences of not using urea include: 1. Exceeding emission standards, causing environmental pollution; 2. Oxidation of chemicals in the vehicle system, leading to clogging of the urea nozzle and rendering the entire system useless; 3. Reduced vehicle power. The role of urea is: to treat exhaust gases, reduce pollutants in the emissions, and optimize engine performance and fuel consumption. Reasons for urea warning light activation include: 1. Urea pressure too low, high urea consumption; 2. Insufficient power, urea consumption too high or too low; 3. Instrument panel malfunction. Methods to eliminate urea warning light alerts are: 1. Replace the urea solution; 2. Replace the water heating valve; 3. Replace the urea pump and power supply module plug.
