After a tire blowout, you should not continue driving. It is necessary to stop the vehicle safely and promptly, then change to the spare tire while ensuring the surroundings are safe. If you are on a highway, turn on the hazard lights and stop in the emergency lane. Place the triangular warning sign 100 meters behind the vehicle. Only open the door and exit the vehicle after confirming there are no cars approaching from the left. Do not attempt to drive without a spare tire; call for a tow truck instead. Below are precautions for a tire blowout: Avoid sudden braking: You should slow down gradually because a sudden blowout at high speed can cause the vehicle to veer, and sudden braking can worsen this veering, potentially leading to a rollover. Drive slowly: While gradually slowing down, firmly grip the steering wheel with both hands and turn it in the opposite direction of the blowout to maintain the vehicle's straight-line movement.

What is the theoretical fuel consumption of the Great Wall 530?

The Great Wall 530 has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.8 liters per 100 kilometers. The following are the reasons for high fuel consumption: 1. Sensor damage: There are water temperature sensors, oxygen sensors, intake air temperature sensors, air flow sensors, knock sensors, etc., near the engine. 2. Increased carbon deposits in the engine: Many old cars have never had their carbon deposits cleaned. 3. Engine wear: As the usage time increases, the engine will have some wear. The following are methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Regular maintenance: Cars are maintained rather than repaired. Regular maintenance not only reduces the failure rate of the car but also lowers its fuel consumption. During maintenance, replace and service parts that require regular replacement, such as spark plugs, oil filters, brake fluid, radiator coolant, air conditioning filters, power steering fluid, transmission fluid, fuel filters, etc. Only when the vehicle is in optimal condition can fuel consumption be reduced. 2. Avoid heavy acceleration: Heavy acceleration only shortens driving time by 4%, but increases fuel consumption by 37%-40%. On general urban roads, the speed is usually maintained at 50 kilometers per hour, with the engine speed generally around 2000-2500 RPM. On highways, the speed is usually between 90-110 kilometers per hour. For every 10 kilometers per hour increase in speed, fuel consumption increases by 10%.

What is the filling amount of automotive air conditioning refrigerant oil?

Automotive air conditioning refrigerant oil filling amount: 150 grams to 200 grams for single air conditioning small cars, 200 grams to 250 grams for dual air conditioning small cars. The filling amount varies for each vehicle, so it is essential to check the vehicle's refrigerant and refrigerant oil filling amount specified on the nameplate. Precautions for refrigerant oil filling: 1. Do not mix different brands of refrigerant oil, as chemical reactions caused by different antioxidants in various brands can lead to deterioration; 2. Refrigerant oil is highly absorbent and, under the influence of oxygen, can produce an acidic substance similar to oleic acid, which corrodes metal components, so the refrigerant oil container should be tightly sealed immediately after use; 3. Do not use deteriorated refrigerant oil; 4. Refrigerant oil does not provide cooling and can hinder the heat exchange efficiency of heat exchangers, so only the specified amount should be added, and overuse is strictly prohibited to avoid reducing cooling capacity.

When Should Brake Pads Be Replaced?

Brake pads should generally be replaced after the vehicle has traveled 80,000 kilometers or approximately 4 years, although the replacement time may vary depending on the vehicle's usage. Situations that require brake pad replacement include: 1. When the thickness of the brake pads is reduced to below 0.5 centimeters; 2. When the vehicle produces squealing or hissing noises during braking; 3. If you notice reduced braking efficiency, the brake pedal feels heavy, or the braking distance becomes excessively long, it's time to replace the brake pads. Brake pads are a crucial component of the automotive braking system, typically composed of a steel plate, friction material, and an insulation layer. They function by creating friction against the brake disc when the brakes are applied, thereby achieving the braking effect. As a key safety component, the quality of all braking performance is decisively influenced by the condition of the brake pads.
