The tire can still be used after being punctured by a nail without air leakage, but there are safety hazards. Relevant introductions are as follows: 1. The tire is the only contact between the vehicle and the ground, it is the "foot" of a car, and also one of the components most prone to human accidents. Even the most skilled veteran driver may encounter a day when the tire is punctured by hard stones or nails. If such situations are not addressed, they can easily lead to a series of safety hazards such as tire blowouts. 2. You must not pull it out. If you pull it out immediately, the vacuum tire, which originally did not leak air, will continuously lose air as the tire pressure decreases. Some tires with higher pressure may even blow out on the spot, causing unnecessary personal injury. 3. First, confirm whether there is air leakage and how severe it is. If there is severe air leakage, immediately replace the spare tire. If there is no spare tire, call for rescue.

As a veteran driver with years of experience, I must remind you that tire safety is no trivial matter. I remember last year when my car tire got punctured by a nail—after pulling it out, there was no air leakage at all, and I almost neglected it out of laziness. But a friend's words woke me up: 'A tire is like a balloon; a small hole doesn't mean it's safe. Once the internal cord layer is damaged, it might hold up at low speeds, but the pressure surges at high speeds can easily cause a blowout.' I immediately went to the repair shop, where the mechanic used a pressure gauge and detected a slow leak. A 30-yuan patch fixed it. This incident taught me a lesson: now, I never delay addressing tire issues. I'd rather spend a bit more on inspections than risk an accident on the road. Regularly checking tire pressure and appearance during daily driving is key to preventing problems. Safe driving starts with the details—don't let small issues turn into big disasters.

How Many Times Can You Take the Subject 4 Test?

There is no limit to the number of times you can take the Subject 4 test, but the test must be completed within the three-year validity period. The so-called three-year validity period refers to the time when you pass the Subject 1 test and obtain the driving skill test permit. Within three years after passing the Subject 1 test, you must complete the Subject 2, Subject 3, and Subject 4 tests; otherwise, all previous results will be invalid. Below is some relevant information about the Subject 4 test: 1. Test content. Safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations such as tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge. 2. Precautions. (1) Before the test, be sure to adjust the camera and align the small camera with your face. (2) During the test, carefully study each question. (3) Be careful when clicking the mouse and avoid clicking it continuously.

Are Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles Subject to Traffic Restrictions?

Plug-in hybrid vehicles are subject to traffic restrictions for the following reasons: 1. As new energy vehicles, plug-in hybrids can use new energy license plates. 2. However, they are not eligible for unrestricted driving policies. Only pure electric vehicles are exempt from traffic restrictions, while other types of new energy vehicles still face driving limitations. Relevant information about plug-in hybrid vehicles is as follows: 1. Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs): These are a new type of hybrid electric vehicle. 2. Classification: (1) Micro Hybrid, with a hybridization degree below 5%. (2) Mild Hybrid, typically with a hybridization degree around 20%. (3) Medium Hybrid, with a hybridization degree reaching 30%~40%. (4) Full Hybrid, with a hybridization degree exceeding 40%.

What measures should be taken if the engine suddenly stalls while driving?

If the engine suddenly stalls while driving, the driver should turn on the hazard warning lights, rely on inertia to move the vehicle to a location that does not obstruct traffic, park the vehicle, place a warning sign behind the car as required, and then determine the cause of the stall. The following is an analysis of the possible causes of sudden engine stalling: 1. Electrical circuit failure: During driving, the engine may experience a power interruption and stall due to low voltage. If the stalling is caused by a short circuit in the low-voltage circuit, intermittent stalling may occur subsequently. 2. Component failure: Focus on checking the ignition coil and electronic ignition module. Issues with these components can lead to intermittent stalling. 3. Fuel system failure: Automatic transmission vehicles generally do not stall unless there is a problem with the fuel system.

Where is the Exeed car from?

Exeed cars are produced at the factory in Wuhu, Anhui. Exeed is a high-end sub-brand under Chery Automobile, with the TX being the first mass-produced model of the EXEED brand. Exeed embodies Chery's over 20 years of forward automotive development experience and profound technological accumulation. More details about Exeed cars are as follows: 1. As Chery's new high-end brand, EXEED positions itself with "Intelligent, Premium, and Dynamic" as its core brand values, prioritizing "Intelligent" at the forefront. It fully advances Chery's "Lion Smart Cloud" strategy, providing comprehensive next-generation intelligent mobility services for consumers in China and globally. 2. In terms of exterior design, the EXEED-TX breaks away from Chery's previous elongated design style, featuring a fuller and more imposing SUV silhouette. The chrome multi-bar grille paired with a honeycomb air intake exudes dominance, complemented by the EXEED logo on the upper edge of the grille, showcasing a strong overall design aesthetic. 3. In the realm of smart technology, the Exeed TX is the world's first mass-produced vehicle equipped with Baidu Apollo's Xiaodu Vehicle OS. It supports voice recognition and smart home connectivity, with higher-end models also featuring "facial recognition and payment" and AR real-world navigation, further enhancing the convenience of the owner's driving experience. 4. Under the hood, the Exeed TX is powered by Chery's self-developed third-generation 1.6T engine. This 1.6TGDI engine delivers a peak torque of 290 Nm and a maximum power output of 145 kW, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

How to Use Lights at Poorly Lit Intersections?

At poorly lit intersections, high beams should be used. However, when following another vehicle on a normally lit road where the leading vehicle is using high beams, the trailing vehicle should switch to low beams while following. Below are precautions for using high beams: 1. Switch to low beams during oncoming traffic: When using high beams and encountering oncoming traffic, switch to low beams. The specific distance varies but generally should be done 150-200 meters away. You may switch back to high beams after the vehicles pass each other. 2. Do not use high beams under streetlights: High beams should not be used when driving at night on roads with streetlights. 3. Overtaking: When driving with high beams at night and needing to overtake, switch to low beams at least 100 meters in advance and activate the overtaking signal by quickly flicking the beam lever upward 2-3 times while on low beams.

How Many Milliliters of Engine Oil Should Be Added?

During maintenance, the amount of engine oil to be added at one time depends on the type of the engine. Generally, small-displacement vehicles require 3.2~3.6 liters of engine oil per maintenance, while larger-displacement engines need around 4.5 liters. The engine oil level should neither be too low nor overfilled. Below are the impacts of overfilling or underfilling engine oil: 1. Overfilling engine oil: This increases the resistance of the crankshaft rotation, reduces the engine's output power, and the excess oil may enter the combustion chamber and participate in combustion, leading to oil burning, blue smoke emission, increased fuel consumption, and accelerated wear of cylinders and pistons, thereby shortening the vehicle's lifespan. 2. Insufficient engine oil: Some engine components, such as the cam tappet and valves, may not receive sufficient lubrication, resulting in component wear and even severe accidents like cylinder scoring or bearing seizure.
