Tire pressure abnormality is not recommended for continued driving. Below are relevant introductions about tire pressure: Low Pressure: Low pressure increases tire body deformation, easily causing cracks on the tire side, while generating flexing motion, leading to excessive heat, promoting rubber aging, fatigue of the cord ply, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area, accelerating shoulder wear. High Pressure: High pressure causes excessive extension and deformation of the tire cords, reducing the tire body's elasticity, increasing the load on the car during driving. If impacted, it may cause internal cracks and blowouts. High pressure also accelerates tread wear and reduces puncture resistance.

Last time while driving, I encountered a tire pressure warning light, which gave me a start. I immediately pulled over to check. Never ignore abnormal tire pressure—when it's too low, the tire deforms severely, increasing contact area and friction heat, which can lead to a blowout, especially dangerous at high speeds. If the pressure is too high, traction decreases, making the car prone to skidding in rainy conditions and potentially causing accidents. I generally recommend slowing down immediately and stopping in a safe area, then using a portable air pump to check and adjust the pressure or heading to a repair shop for inspection. The correct pressure is usually labeled on the door frame, and measuring it when the tires are cold is most accurate. Ignoring this issue can lead to uneven tire wear, a spike in fuel consumption, or even shortened tire lifespan. Safety must always come first.

I frequently drive long distances and have deep feelings about tire pressure issues. When the pressure warning light comes on, theoretically you can drive a short distance, but you must be extremely careful, moving at a low speed of around 20 km/h to a safe location or repair shop. With significant pressure deviation, the car may feel floaty, vibrate excessively, and have longer emergency steering or braking distances, increasing the risk of losing control. I make it a habit to keep a digital tire pressure gauge in the trunk for regular checks, ensuring the pressure stays within the 2.3-2.5 bar range to avoid leaks or abnormalities caused by temperature changes. If driving temporarily, try to avoid highways and sharp turns, and get it fixed as soon as you reach a service station. Ignoring this issue can also damage the suspension system, leading to higher repair costs later.

What is the cause of engine gasping?

Engine gasping is primarily caused by carbon deposits. Additional information: 1. Use high-quality fuel. Since the main components of carbon deposits are wax and gum deposits from fuel, it is best to use fuel with as low gum content as possible. While you cannot change the quality of the fuel, avoid adding cheap fuel of unknown origin. 2. Avoid prolonged low-speed driving. To prevent carbon buildup, periodically drive at high speeds. The principle behind high-speed driving to remove carbon deposits is to increase gas flow velocity, which can remove some loosely attached deposits, and to raise combustion temperature, burning off some carbon deposits in the cylinders. 3. Add fuel additives to the fuel tank. Using regular fuel additives with cleaning effects over the long term can also help in removing carbon deposits.

What is the reason for spraying coating agent on the windshield?

It can cause the glass to become rough and increase the friction coefficient, but the coating can be washed off, causing little damage to the glass. The relevant introduction about coating is as follows: Coating Introduction: Car coating is a paint protection project that applies non-petroleum environmentally friendly materials such as glass cellulose, silicon polymer, fluorine polymer, and high-purity water to evenly coat the paint surface with a hard, oxidation-resistant inorganic film. Through a chemical reaction with the paint, it forms a glass protective layer to shield the paint from external damage, enhance paint hardness and brightness, and make the car body smoother and more lustrous. Coating Function: Car coating agents differ from car wax in that their molecules are smaller, forming a tighter and more durable protective layer on the car's paint surface. This layer can repel water, resist acid rain, block UV rays, and prevent paint oxidation and fading.

Where Exactly Are the Car Drain Holes Located?

Generally, the drain holes of a vehicle are located in the following areas: at the front windshield in the engine compartment, in the four corners inside the sunroof, at the lower part of the front and rear doors, inside the fuel tank cap, at the bottom of the spare tire in the trunk, and in the gaps between the front and rear headlights and the fenders. The specific locations of each drain hole are described below: Engine Compartment Drain Hole: These are typically located on both sides near the front windshield wipers, with one on each side. The engine compartment is a relatively open environment, so wastewater and debris can flow down the windshield into it. Engineers have designed a water deflector at the rear of the engine compartment, along the lower edge of the windshield, with drain holes positioned there. Among the interior drain holes, the engine compartment drain hole is the most prone to clogging. It is also close to the air conditioning intake, making it easy for bacteria to thrive in the hot and humid engine compartment. In severe cases, water may even flow into the car through the air conditioning intake. Additionally, some models have the engine control unit (ECU) in this area. If water enters the ECU, it can cause various unexpected engine issues. Sunroof Drain Hole: The sunroof drain holes are located in the four corners of the sunroof. Even when the sunroof is closed during rain, water can seep through the gaps. Modern vehicles are equipped with water channels that direct rainwater through the front and rear drain holes along the A-pillar/C-pillar, eventually draining out from under the car. Unless both drain holes on either side are blocked simultaneously, water accumulation in the sunroof is rare. Door Drain Hole: The door drain holes are located at the lower part of the door panel, usually with at least two per door. Most car models do not have separate drainage pipes inside the doors; instead, rainwater flows directly over the rust-treated door panel and exits through the drain holes. If these drain holes become clogged, water trapped inside the door panel can damage the window regulator, speakers, and central door lock mechanism.

Will the LED speed display screen on highways deduct points?

Highways install this type of speed display screen, which can basically be said to not have speed capture functionality. It is merely an LED screen that displays real-time speed as a speed reminder, serving as a warning. The specific details are as follows: 1. Introduction to the display screen: The speed value is displayed in green when not exceeding the speed limit, and in red when exceeding the speed limit. 2. Components of the display screen: The speed display radar speed capture system, in fact, is based on the above-mentioned speed display screen, equipped with high-definition traffic cameras, high-precision narrow-beam speed radar, and high-performance flashlights. Additional information: As the name suggests, the speed display screen simply displays the vehicle's speed to the driver. In fact, the entire system of the speed display screen consists of the speed display screen (the core speed measurement and display part) and speed limit signs. Each set of signs has a prominent number representing the speed limit for that lane. When the detected vehicle's speed exceeds the speed limit, the speed on the LED screen will display in red to warn the driver. When the detected vehicle does not exceed the speed limit, the speed on the LED screen will display in green, effectively serving as a speed limit reminder.

Why Does the Reversing Camera Turn Gray?

Here is a detailed introduction to the meanings of different colored trajectory lines in the reversing camera: 1. Red trajectory: The red trajectory represents the warning line, indicating a distance of 30cm from the rear of the vehicle. When the vehicle approaches this line, the parking space is just right, and no further reversing is allowed to avoid accidents. 2. Yellow trajectory: The yellow trajectory represents the deceleration line, indicating a distance of 60cm from the rear of the vehicle. You can continue to reverse but should slow down, check the distance, and adjust to a suitable position. 3. Green trajectory: The green trajectory represents the normal safety line, indicating a larger distance between the obstacle and the rear of the vehicle, allowing you to reverse with confidence.
