Winter tires should not be used on highways at 15 degrees Celsius above zero, and it is recommended to avoid using winter tires for highway driving. Hazards of Using Winter Tires on Highways: During high-speed driving, winter tires generate significant noise, experience severe wear, and can increase fuel consumption. On dry roads, winter tires are not very durable and have poor traction. Therefore, unless driving in snowy or low-temperature conditions, it is advisable to switch to regular tires for highway driving. Winter Tires Should Not Be Used for Extended Periods: The main reason winter tires should not be used for extended periods is their softer tread. At high speeds, this can lead to unstable contact with the road surface and accelerated wear.

Why can't the Ant be locked?

If the Ant can't be locked, it may be due to loose screws or a problem with the car lock. Here are the detailed explanations for the reasons: Detailed explanation for loose screws: If the screws are loose, remove the hinges on the door and reinstall them, preferably replacing the top hinge as it may have been pulled loose. Shake the door to check if it's loose. If the lower part of the door doesn't rub against the ground and doesn't get stuck, reinstall the latch side. If the door won't close because the two parts of the lock can't engage, remove the latch side, align it with the other side, reinstall it, and then pull. Problem with the car lock: If the car door can't be closed after washing the car, it's likely due to an issue with the hinge or the car lock. In this case, it's necessary to go to a professional repair shop for maintenance.

Does the BMW 5 Series cigarette lighter continue to supply power after the engine is turned off?

After the BMW 5 Series is turned off, the car will maintain basic power supply for a certain period of time. Power supply for electronic car accessories: Many electronic car accessories draw power from the cigarette lighter, designed with a cigarette lighter-shaped plug, such as dash cams, phone chargers, radar detectors, car vacuum cleaners, etc. For electrical devices used in the car, they operate at 12V, and the cigarette lighter can output exactly 12 volts. Some cars also have USB ports available, while others only have the cigarette lighter for power. Cigarette lighter power failure: When the cigarette lighter has no power, the issue is mostly due to a blown fuse, and occasionally problems with the cigarette lighter socket. Some cars frequently experience blown fuses. The fuse blowing is related to the electrical device being used. Either the device's power is relatively high, exceeding the fuse's current rating during operation.

What does it mean when the BMW 5 Series indicates low coolant?

It means the radiator is low on coolant and needs to be replenished promptly. Coolant is an essential component of a car's engine, consisting of water, antifreeze, and additives. It circulates within the engine's cooling system, carrying away excess heat generated during engine operation to ensure the engine runs at the proper operating temperature. During high temperatures, if the coolant concentration and level are not within the normal range, it can easily lead to engine failure or even overheating. When using antifreeze, please note the following: Try to use the same brand of antifreeze: Different brands may have varying production formulas, and mixing them could cause chemical reactions between additives, rendering them ineffective. Validity period: Most antifreeze products have a validity period of two years (some products may last longer). Ensure the product is within its validity period when adding. Regular replacement is necessary: Typically, replace every two years or every 40,000 kilometers driven, with taxis requiring more frequent changes. When replacing, completely drain the old fluid, clean the cooling system thoroughly, and then add new fluid. Do not dilute with water.

How loud is the exhaust sound of the Audi S5?

Audi S5's factory exhaust produces a very loud sound during acceleration from a standstill. Origin of car exhaust sound: Car exhaust sound is produced when the muffler is removed, allowing the engine to exhaust directly into the environment, resulting in loud noise. The exhaust sound is a complex issue, and many people's understanding of it is limited to the exhaust pipe. While the exhaust pipe can indeed influence the sound, it is not the origin of the exhaust sound. Generation of exhaust sound: The generation of exhaust sound depends firstly on the design of the exhaust backpressure, which comes in many forms and produces different sounds. Secondly, it depends on the engine's displacement, number of cylinders, cylinder arrangement, and whether it is naturally aspirated, turbocharged, or supercharged. The same backpressure exhaust pipe will produce different sounds on different engines. The price of the car is not very important; the key is the internal design of the exhaust. For example, Ferrari's exhaust is designed by specialized fluid dynamics and sound effect experts. As long as the design is good, the desired exhaust sound can be achieved.
