You cannot continue driving a Mercedes-Benz with insufficient tire pressure. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the standard tire pressure should be between 2.4-2.5bar. In winter, the tire pressure should be slightly increased by about 0.2bar based on the standard tire pressure. In summer, the tire pressure can generally be about 0.1bar lower than the standard to avoid blowouts due to high temperatures. Solutions for Insufficient Tire Pressure: If no damage is visible, you can directly inflate the tire to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system. If the tire is found to be punctured during inspection, you should promptly drive to a tire shop for repair and then reinflate the tire. If the tire pressure warning reappears after inflation but there is no puncture, it may be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel rim. It is recommended to check the wheel rim and replace it if necessary.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Warning on an Audi?

Audi's method to reset the tire pressure warning: First, turn on the ignition, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button. Release the button after hearing a "dong" sound. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, completing the tire pressure reset. Solutions for insufficient tire pressure: If no visible damage is found, simply inflate the tire to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system. If a puncture is found upon inspection, drive to a tire shop promptly for repair, then reinflate the tire. If the tire pressure warning reappears after inflation without any punctures, it may be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel rim. It is recommended to check the wheel rim and replace it if necessary. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increases friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption. Causes the steering wheel to feel heavy and may lead to drifting, posing risks to driving safety.

How Often Should the Spark Plugs on a BMW 5 Series Be Replaced?

BMW 5 Series spark plug replacement interval: Under normal maintenance conditions, replacement is recommended after driving 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type, so it is advisable to follow the instructions in the user manual. You can refer to the following standards for maintenance and replacement: Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. How spark plugs work: The ground electrode of the spark plug is connected to the metal shell, which is attached to the engine block via the threads on the cylinder head. The insulator primarily serves to isolate the metal shell from the central electrode. The terminal nut is the part of the spark plug that contacts the high-voltage coil. When current passes through the terminal nut and the central electrode, it ionizes the medium between the central electrode and the ground electrode, generating a spark to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder.

Is it necessary to upgrade from 17-inch to 18-inch wheels?

Modifying vehicle wheels to a larger size can affect the stability of the vehicle, so it is not necessary to upgrade from 17-inch to 18-inch wheels. Moreover, altering the wheel size of a vehicle is illegal. After modifying the wheels, it is mandatory to change to tires of the same type; otherwise, the vehicle will not be able to complete registration within the stipulated time. Points to note when changing wheels: You need to complete the registration procedures. Modifying the wheel size of a vehicle involves altering the vehicle's appearance data. Within ten days after the modification, you must bring the vehicle's license and registration certificate to the local vehicle management office to complete the registration procedures. Otherwise, it will be considered an illegal modification. If you switch to 18-inch wheels, it may cause the speedometer to display inaccurately because the vehicle's design and parameters have already been calibrated. Modifying the style and color of vehicle wheels is legal. Changing the style and color of the wheels will not affect the use of the original tires. You can safely modify and use them, and the vehicle can be driven on the road without any impact on the annual inspection.

What are the reasons for the failure of Volkswagen door window lift?

The reasons for the failure of Volkswagen door window lift include: 1. The lift function is turned off: Most modern cars are equipped with a function to independently control the window lift of the passenger side and the two rear doors. After pressing this function switch, the window lift switch on the door cannot be used to control the window. This switch is usually located on the driver's side door panel. 2. There are foreign objects or dirt in the window guide channel: Many higher-end models are equipped with an anti-pinch function for door windows. Foreign objects in the window guide channel, aging guide channel rubber, or excessive dust accumulation can trigger the anti-pinch function, preventing the window from rising. 3. Overheating of the window lift motor: The lifting and lowering of door windows are controlled by the lift motor. Frequent operation of the window can cause the lift motor to overheat, entering an overheat protection mode. At this time, the window lift function will temporarily fail until the motor temperature drops and returns to normal. 4. Faulty control switch: In older vehicles, due to frequent use of the lift function, control switch failures are common. Initially, it may require pressing harder to get a response, and eventually, it may fail completely.
