Whether you can continue driving with low tire pressure depends on the specific pressure value. If it is below 2.0 bar, it is recommended not to continue driving and to replace the spare tire or wait for assistance as soon as possible. Below are the standard tire pressure guidelines and precautions: Methods to check the standard tire pressure for your vehicle: You can refer to the vehicle's user manual or the label near the door (around the B-pillar or C-pillar), where you can find the manufacturer's recommended value (cold tire pressure). Generally, tire pressure varies depending on the vehicle model and whether it is for passenger cars or larger vehicles. Precautions regarding tire pressure: Tire pressure changes with temperature. If the local temperature is high or during summer, it is advisable to reduce the tire pressure by 0.1 to 0.2 bar. Conversely, if the local temperature is very low, such as in winter, you should increase the tire pressure by 0.1 to 0.2 bar.

If you notice that your car's tire pressure is low, I generally recommend stopping immediately and not driving. Low tire pressure increases tire deformation, friction, and temperature, making it very easy to have a blowout, especially on highways, which is particularly dangerous. I've seen an accident where insufficient tire pressure caused a loss of control, resulting in a collision with a guardrail. Moreover, fuel consumption will also increase, costing you money and compromising safety. It's best to pull over right away and check with a tire pressure gauge—the standard tire pressure value is listed on the label on the door frame. If it's 20% below the recommended value, call for roadside assistance or slowly drive to the nearest air pump. Make it a habit to check tire pressure weekly when the car is cold to avoid such trouble. If ignored long-term, tires will wear unevenly, shortening their lifespan by one or two years, and replacing them will cost a fortune. Remember, safety comes first—don't wait until an accident happens to regret it.

Why Can't the Left Rear Door of a Mercedes-Benz Be Opened from the Inside?

Mercedes-Benz left rear door cannot be opened from the inside because the child safety lock is engaged. There is a switch on the door frame; flipping it will allow the door to open. Some car owners believe that simply locking the central control lock before driving or setting the auto-lock feature while driving can ensure the safety of children in the back seat. Additional Information: 1. The Role of Child Safety Locks: For the safety of children during travel, the child safety locks on the rear doors should be engaged. Once the child safety lock is activated, no matter how much a child plays around in the back seat, they cannot open the door from the inside. This ensures the child's safety and allows the driver to focus more on driving without worry. 2. Precautions: When opening the car door from inside, it's important to first open it slightly to check for any oncoming traffic from behind. Only after confirming it's safe should one exit the vehicle; caution is necessary. The driver should remind anyone preparing to exit the car to check for approaching vehicles. The driver can assist by checking through the rearview mirror to prevent passengers from overlooking potential hazards.

What is the reason for engine shaking when the air conditioning is turned on in a Honda Civic?

The reason for engine shaking when the air conditioning is turned on in a Honda Civic is due to a dirty throttle body, which affects the engine. When the air conditioning is activated, the compressor also starts working. Since the compressor is driven by the engine, it increases the engine's load. An increased load means a greater throttle opening and more air intake. If the air conditioning is turned on under these conditions, it will further burden the engine at idle, leading to steering wheel shaking. Additional information: 1. Precautions: Clean the air filter regularly. The air filter is directly related to the engine's air intake during driving. If the vehicle is only driven in urban areas, the air filter may not get clogged, but its cleanliness should still be monitored. A clogged or excessively dusty air filter can restrict engine air intake, allowing large amounts of dust to enter the cylinders. This accelerates carbon buildup in the cylinders, causing ignition issues, reduced power, and increased fuel consumption. 2. Maintenance tips: If the filter accumulates too much dust, consider using compressed air to blow the dust out from the inside of the filter element. However, the pressure of the compressed air should not be too high to avoid damaging the filter paper. Never use water or oil to clean the air filter, as this can saturate the filter element.

What is the horsepower of a 1.6-liter displacement?

Generally, a 1.6-liter displacement can output around 120 horsepower. Here is some related information about car displacement: Introduction to car displacement: The space volume that the piston moves from the top dead center to the bottom dead center is called the cylinder displacement. If the engine has multiple cylinders, the sum of the working volumes of all cylinders is called the engine displacement, usually expressed in liters (L). Engine displacement is one of the most important structural parameters, which represents the size of the engine better than the bore and the number of cylinders. Many indicators of the engine are closely related to the displacement. Displacement classification: The classification of car levels in China is determined by the size of the displacement. The displacement of a mini car is less than or equal to 1.0L; the displacement of a compact car ranges from 1.0 to 1.6L; the displacement of a mid-size car ranges from 1.6 to 2.5L; the displacement of an executive car ranges from 2.5 to 4.0L; and the displacement of a luxury car is greater than 4.0L.

What are the consequences of driving during the temporary suspension of a vehicle's driving license?

Driving is not allowed during the temporary suspension of a driving license. If a driver operates a motor vehicle while their driving license is temporarily suspended, it is considered as driving without a license, which is a very serious offense. According to Article 99 of the Road Traffic Safety Law: The public security traffic management department shall impose penalties and fines for any of the following acts: 1. Driving a motor vehicle without obtaining a motor vehicle driving license, or driving during the period when the motor vehicle driving license is revoked or temporarily suspended; 2. Allowing a person without a motor vehicle driving license or whose license has been revoked or temporarily suspended to drive a motor vehicle; fleeing the scene after causing a traffic accident, which does not constitute a crime; 3. Driving a motor vehicle at a speed exceeding 50% of the prescribed limit; 4. Forcing a motor vehicle driver to violate road traffic safety laws, regulations, and safe driving requirements, resulting in a traffic accident that does not constitute a crime; 5. Forcibly passing through traffic control areas despite dissuasion; 6. Intentionally damaging, moving, or altering traffic facilities, causing harmful consequences that do not constitute a crime; 7. Illegally intercepting or detaining motor vehicles despite dissuasion, causing severe traffic congestion or significant property loss.

What are the solutions for the sunroof rattling in the Mistra?

Solutions for the sunroof rattling in the Mistra: 1. The sunroof sealing strip may age due to prolonged exposure to rain or sunlight. Rubber conditioner can temporarily restore the strip's performance. Open the sunroof fully and spray the conditioner onto the sealing strip. 2. Loose screws in the sunroof can cause rattling in the headliner or the sunroof itself, and may even pose a risk of the sunroof detaching. Tighten any loose screws. 3. Dust particles in the sunroof tracks can accumulate in the gaps. Remove the dust with a towel and clean and maintain the sunroof regularly. Recommendations for sunroof maintenance: 1. Avoid using a high-pressure water jet directly on the sealing strip during car washing, as this can deform the strip under pressure, leading to water leakage and damage. 2. On extremely bumpy roads, it's best not to open the sunroof completely to prevent excessive vibration between the sunroof and tracks, which could deform components or damage the motor. 3. A major concern with sunroof use is water leakage. Proper usage and maintenance can effectively prevent this. Before the rainy season, in addition to cleaning dust from the tracks and sealing strip gaps, apply a small amount of plastic protectant or talcum powder to the sealing strip and other components.

Can motor oils of different brands be mixed?

Motor oils of different brands can be mixed, but it is not recommended. If it's for emergency purposes, it might be acceptable. It's important to note that when mixing different oils, the viscosity grade and performance level must be the same, for example, both should be fully synthetic 5W30 or fully synthetic 5W40. The potential impacts of mixing different brand motor oils are: 1. Turbidity: Most modern motor oils use sulfonates as dispersants and detergents, while some use salicylates. These two types are not compatible, and mixing them can cause layering, turbidity, and reduced cleaning performance; 2. Abnormal exhaust: Mixing different brand oils may lead to abnormal exhaust smoke, such as black or blue smoke. The mixed oil might become diluted, allowing it to enter the combustion chamber and produce blue smoke, or it might cause poor cylinder sealing, resulting in black smoke; 3. Sludge formation: Mixing different oils can easily lead to sludge formation, which reduces the cooling effect of the lubricant, causing the engine to overheat and potentially leading to malfunctions; 4. Accelerated wear: The anti-wear properties of the mixed oil can change significantly, potentially breaking down the oil film and causing wear between the piston and cylinder wall, or even piston ring breakage in severe cases.
