Tire blowout is not allowed to continue driving. After a tire blowout, if you continue to drive, the vehicle will experience various unstable phenomena such as fishtailing, unstable steering, and severe deviation. The following is an introduction to the situation of a tire blowout: Complete tire blowout situation: The tire is definitely not salvageable, and if you drive 5 kilometers with a completely flat tire, the rim of the blown tire is likely to become out of round, which needs to be checked with tools at an auto repair shop. If it is indeed out of round, the rim will also have to be scrapped. Situation of a tire blowout on the highway: After stopping the vehicle, it is best not to continue driving. Continuing to drive not only causes damage to the rim but also poses a danger due to difficult control and excessively slow driving speed.

No, absolutely do not continue driving after a tire blowout! When I experienced a blowout before, I tried moving a short distance and almost hit the guardrail—it was extremely dangerous. A blowout causes the car to lose balance and control, especially on highways where it can easily lead to rollovers or chain collisions. The correct approach is to immediately slow down, pull over to a safe spot like the shoulder, and turn on hazard lights as a warning. Then, check the spare tire and replace it, or call roadside assistance for help. If you insist on driving, the damaged part of the tire will directly rub against the road, wearing down the wheel rim or even the suspension system, potentially increasing repair costs from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars—definitely not worth it. It’s best to develop a habit of checking tire pressure and wear monthly and performing regular maintenance to reduce such accidents. Safe driving isn’t just about protecting yourself—it’s about protecting others’ lives too.

Why does the push-button start not work when there is power?

Possible reasons for the push-button start not working despite having power include: Spark plug issues: Spark plugs are critical components in the vehicle's ignition system. If they malfunction, it directly affects the vehicle's performance and efficiency. Excessive carbon buildup in the throttle body: When the accelerator is not pressed, the throttle body only leaves a small gap for air to pass through. Excessive carbon deposits can block this airflow, preventing the vehicle from starting. Regular cleaning of carbon deposits at a service center is recommended. Starter motor failure: A damaged starter motor can also prevent ignition, similar to a dead battery. Crankshaft position sensor malfunction: During ignition, if the engine control unit does not receive the RPM signal, it will not command the spark plugs to ignite, resulting in a failure to start.

Will There Be Marks After Lightly Touching the Car Behind While Reversing?

There might be marks, or there might not be. Here is some relevant information: 1. Reasons: It depends on the car model, structure, and paint material, as well as the force of the collision. If the speed is very slow, and the cars just lightly touch before stopping without steering wheel movement, then it's possible that both cars will be fine. However, if the steering wheel is moved after the touch, causing the car paints to rub against each other, there will definitely be marks. 2. Solutions: If the paint from the stationary car is left on your car, it means your car's paint is harder. The opposite is also true. It's also possible that no paint will come off, such as when the cars just lightly touch and stop before the kinetic energy is enough to damage the paint. In this case, both cars might be fine.

Can water be mixed with China 5 vehicle urea?

China 5 vehicle urea cannot be mixed with water. Adding water to urea is not advisable: Tap water contains many impurities, some of which are even invisible to the naked eye. However, just because they are not visible does not mean they do not exist. The most common substances such as calcium, magnesium, and sodium can easily form solid deposits, thereby clogging the urea nozzle. The role of vehicle urea: Vehicle urea solution is a colorless, transparent, and clear liquid. It is a urea-based chemical reactant composed of high-purity urea without any additives and pure water. Vehicle urea solution is used to reduce nitrogen oxides in vehicle exhaust, thereby lowering the level of exhaust pollution. Vehicle urea solution is key to reducing pollutant emissions from diesel vehicles. Applying vehicle urea solution in the SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system is crucial for engine exhaust emissions to meet China IV and higher emission standards.

Within how many days can a new car be returned?

New cars can be returned within 60 days. Returning the car within the specified period: Within 60 days from the date of purchase or 3,000 kilometers, whichever comes first, if the vehicle experiences quality issues such as failure of the steering system, failure of the braking system, body cracking, or fuel leakage, you can apply for a free replacement or return of the entire vehicle. During this period, if there are quality issues with major components of the engine or transmission, you can apply for a free replacement of the engine or transmission. During the warranty period: Not less than 2 years or 50,000 kilometers, whichever comes first, under the following circumstances, the owner has the right to a paid replacement or return of the entire vehicle: if serious safety performance failures have been repaired twice without resolution, or if new serious safety performance failures occur.

Can I Change the Inspection Station If My Vehicle Fails the Emissions Test?

You can change the inspection station if your vehicle fails the emissions test. Emissions test failure: The emissions test mainly targets three types of exhaust gases: CH, CO, and NOx. If a vehicle fails the emissions test, the staff will issue a "Notice of Failed Motor Vehicle Inspection Items," informing the owner to take the vehicle to a repair shop for necessary maintenance before a retest. During the retest, the owner must bring this notice and the repair invoice to prove that the vehicle has been serviced before the test. Precautions for vehicle emissions testing: Prepare some fuel in advance. When preparing for the emissions test, try to use up the fuel in the tank and replace it with higher-grade fuel. Additionally, fill up at a reputable gas station, as this can help with the emissions test.

What is the sequence of clutch, gear shift, and handbrake?

When starting, first release the handbrake, then press the clutch when pulling the handbrake, and finally shift into gear to start. Here are the related details: 1. Introduction: After the engine starts and before the car moves, the driver first presses the clutch pedal to disengage the clutch, separating the engine from the transmission system. Then, the gear is engaged, and the clutch pedal is gradually released to allow the clutch to engage. 2. Operation: During the engagement process, the resistance torque on the engine gradually increases. Therefore, the accelerator pedal should be pressed simultaneously to gradually increase the fuel supply to the engine, ensuring the engine speed remains at the lowest stable speed without stalling.
