A tire with low pressure should not be driven on the highway for the following reasons: Underinflated tires do not function properly during vehicle operation, and the increased friction at high speeds can easily lead to a blowout. The impacts of low tire pressure include: 1. Increased contact area between the tire and the ground, leading to abnormal tire temperature; 2. Severe deformation of the tire sidewall, accelerating the aging of internal steel belts and fabric layers, which can cause blowouts; 3. Increased fuel consumption; 4. Reduced tire lifespan. The functions of tires are: 1. To cushion the impact experienced during driving; 2. To ensure a comfortable ride and smooth driving; 3. To maintain good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improving traction, braking, and off-road capability; 4. To bear the weight of the vehicle.

Can the seat belts in a car be replaced?

Car seat belts can be replaced. Below are the conditions for replacing car seat belts: 1. If the internal retractor spring of the seat belt has aged, causing the seat belt to become too loose or fail to tighten promptly, the seat belt should be replaced immediately; 2. If the seat belt has once endured a strong tensile load during use, even if it appears undamaged, it should be replaced and not continued to be used; 3. If the car has been involved in a collision that resulted in the airbags deploying, the seat belts must be replaced promptly. Additional information: Seat belts also require regular maintenance, especially those on the rear seats or the passenger seat, which are used less frequently compared to the driver's seat. It is advisable for car owners to periodically check these seat belts to ensure they are smooth and that the pulling process is even and fluid. If any jamming or malfunction occurs, do not attempt to disassemble them yourself; instead, seek professional repair services as soon as possible.

Where is the air intake of the Langdong car?

Langdong car's air intake is the box in front of the battery. The air filter is installed between the air intake and the throttle, shaped like a rectangular plastic box with an interface for the intake pipe at each end—one connected to the air intake and the other to the engine's throttle. Symptoms of a leaking car intake pipe are as follows: 1. Weak engine operation: Since the air entering the engine through the intake pipe crack bypasses the air flow sensor, this portion of air dilutes the combustible mixture in the engine cylinders, leading to weak engine operation. 2. Increased nitrogen oxide emissions in exhaust: Nitrogen oxides (NOx) in vehicle exhaust are produced in high-temperature, oxygen-rich environments, and an overly lean combustible mixture further promotes the generation of nitrogen oxides, thereby increasing vehicle exhaust pollutant emissions. 3. Difficulty starting: Since the engine requires a higher concentration of combustible mixture during startup, the lean mixture caused by intake pipe leakage may lead to difficulties in starting the engine.
