When the tire pressure is low, check the normal range for your vehicle's tires. If the tire pressure is within the normal range, you can drive; if it's below the normal range, you should not drive. Therefore, if the tire pressure is too low, it's best not to drive as it can cause significant harm to the vehicle. Low tire pressure in a new car may occur due to the following reasons: The car has been parked for too long, causing the tire pressure to decrease. When the car leaves the factory, the tire pressure is usually closer to the upper limit of the safe range. However, as the car remains parked for an extended period, the tire pressure gradually decreases. Some manufacturers intentionally lower the tire pressure to prevent excessively high speeds. Since it's a new car, even experienced drivers need an adaptation period. During this time, lowering the tire pressure slightly helps prevent traffic hazards caused by high speeds. Tire damage. Although rare in new cars, it's not impossible. The tire might have had issues at the factory or could have been punctured during use. If the low tire pressure warning appears in a new car, always check carefully for possible tire damage. Reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Generally, the system will alert if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In such cases, inspect the tires and adjust the pressure accordingly. The tire pressure monitoring system hasn't been reset. After inflating the tires, if the system isn't reset promptly, it will continue to display the old data, causing the tire pressure warning light to stay on. Simply reset the tire pressure monitoring system to resolve this. Damaged tire pressure sensor. The tire pressure sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve, monitors the tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged during driving (e.g., by hitting a curb), the tire pressure warning light may illuminate. In such cases, the only solution is to replace the sensor with a new one.

Why doesn't the shared car move in D gear?

The reason why a shared car doesn't move when shifted into drive gear may be due to vehicle damage, or it could be that the user failed to successfully unlock the vehicle using the app. The usage cost of shared cars generally consists of two parts: one is the duration of use, and the other is the mileage. Relevant information about automatic transmissions is as follows: 1. Introduction: An automatic transmission, as the name suggests, does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the speed and traffic conditions. Generally, there are six gear positions on an automatic transmission car, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. 2. Automatic principle: The engine's power is transmitted through the gearbox, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Whether manual or automatic, the more gears a transmission has, the more fuel-efficient it is.

How to Handle a 12-Point Deduction for New Drivers' Licenses?

If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 penalty points within a scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security authority shall confiscate their motor vehicle driving license. The driver must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the place where the driving license was issued or where the violation occurred within 15 days to undergo a seven-day study program on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Below is an introduction to the relevant examination subjects: 1. Subject 1: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge examination (Subject 1) is a written test conducted on a computer, with a full score of 100 points; a score of 90 or above (including 90) is considered passing. 2. Subject 2: Field driving skills examination (Subject 2) is conducted on-site with an actual vehicle. Results are categorized only as pass or fail. The five mandatory test items, conducted in sequence, include reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, S-curve driving, right-angle turning, and starting and stopping on a slope. The full score is 100 points, with 80 or above (including 80) considered passing. 3. Subject 3: Road driving skills examination (Subject 3) is conducted on a road or simulated site with an actual vehicle. The full score is 100 points, with passing scores being 90 or above for large buses, 80 or above for large trucks, and 70 or above for other vehicle types. 4. Subject 4: Safe and civilized driving-related knowledge (Subject 4) is a written test with a full score of 100 points; a score of 90 or above (including 90) is considered passing.

How to jump-start with two 24V batteries?

Connect positive to positive and negative to negative, but note that this refers to the terminals after two batteries are connected in series to form 24V. Do not connect to a single battery. Below is relevant information: 1. Connection sequence purpose: During overcharging, lead-acid batteries may produce flammable hydrogen gas through water electrolysis inside the battery. Jump-start procedures are usually described in the vehicle's manual. The recommended connection sequence aims to reduce the chance of accidentally short-circuiting the good battery or igniting hydrogen gas. The user manual should indicate the preferred locations for jumper cable connections. 2. Battery lifespan: Car batteries typically last 3-5 years, depending on usage. Power consumption increases significantly if you frequently use air conditioning, play music/videos without starting the engine, or forget to turn off headlights.

What engine is the Tuano 2.0t diesel?

Tuano 2.0t diesel is a Cummins ISF engine. The following is an introduction to the related content of diesel generators: 1. Diesel engine: A diesel engine is an engine that burns diesel to obtain energy release. Compared with gasoline engines, the biggest advantage of diesel engines is their high torque and good performance. Diesel engines and gasoline engines have many similarities in their working processes. 2. Working process: During the working process, the engine needs to go through four strokes: intake, compression, power, and exhaust. However, diesel engines use diesel as fuel. Compared with gasoline, diesel has higher viscosity and is less volatile, with a lower auto-ignition temperature than gasoline. 3. Compression ignition: The formation of combustible mixture and ignition method in diesel engines are basically different from those in gasoline engines. It is worth mentioning that the mixture in the cylinder of a diesel engine is compression-ignited rather than spark-ignited. During the working process of a diesel engine, the air entering the cylinder is air.

Why Do New Cars No Longer Require a Break-in Period?

Because modern automobile manufacturing processes and technologies have significantly improved, new cars today no longer require a break-in period. Below is relevant information regarding precautions for using a new car: 1. Avoid overloading: Carrying excessive weight during the break-in period can cause damage to mechanical components. Since the power transmission parts of a new car have not yet fully worn in, aggressive acceleration may cause irreversible damage to the vehicle. Therefore, it is essential to adhere to the principle of "slow and steady" during the break-in period. 2. Speed limits for new cars: Domestic cars generally have a speed limit of 40~70 km/h, while imported cars usually have a limit of 100 km/h. When the throttle is fully open, the speed should not exceed 80% of the maximum speed. The engine speed during the break-in period is typically specified to be between 2000~4000 rpm.

Can Motorcycles Use Automotive Full Synthetic Oil?

Motorcycles can use automotive full synthetic oil. Here are some important considerations when refueling: 1. Do not exceed the upper mark on the oil dipstick: Excessive oil in the oil pan can enter the combustion chamber, causing blue smoke from the exhaust pipe. This not only increases fuel consumption but also leads to the accumulation of unburned or incompletely burned oil on the piston top and valves, accelerating component wear and reducing power output. 2. The oil level should not be too low: Especially when the oil level is below the dipstick mark, failure to add oil promptly can cause the oil pickup tube to expose the oil surface during uphill driving, bumpy roads, or sudden braking, leading to severe accidents like engine seizure. This not only affects driving safety but also significantly reduces component lifespan. 3. Avoid mixing new and old oil: Old oil contains highly oxidative substances that can accelerate the oxidation and deterioration of new oil, shortening its service life and reducing lubrication performance, which in turn increases component wear and reduces their lifespan.
