New Sylphy's 205 tires and 195 tires differ in size, aspect ratio, and contact patch area. Different tire sizes: The diameter of 195 tires is 634.5mm, while 205 tires measure 631.9mm. The 195 tires have a 2.6mm larger diameter than 205 tires. Different aspect ratios: At the same tire height, 205 tires have a lower aspect ratio than 195 tires, meaning better handling performance. Different contact patch areas: 205 tires are 10mm wider than 195 tires, with approximately 5% greater rolling resistance. At low speeds without considering wind resistance, 205 tires naturally consume about 5% more fuel than 195 tires.

I frequently drive on highways and have tried both the 195 and 205 tires on the new Sylphy. The difference is quite noticeable. The 205 is wider, which means better grip, making the car more stable when cornering with less sway, especially during rainy conditions or high-speed braking. The downside is a slight increase in fuel consumption due to the larger contact area and higher resistance. Additionally, the 205 looks more robust, but you need to check if it matches the original rims. The 195 is narrower and more economical, offering slightly better fuel efficiency, comfort, and lower noise levels. Personally, I prefer the 205 for those seeking a more spirited drive, but for city commuting, the 195 is sufficient, balancing budget and safety.

I drive the new Sylphy for daily commuting, focusing on practicality and cost-effectiveness when choosing tires. The 195 tires are 10mm narrower than the 205 ones, resulting in significantly lower fuel consumption. A full tank can last dozens of kilometers more, and the cost is also cheaper. The ride feels softer with less bumpiness, making it suitable for family pickups or daily commuting. The 205 tires offer better grip and more stability during turns, but they come with higher fuel consumption and prices. Although the wheels look larger, the advantages are minimal. Personally, I recommend sticking with the factory 195 tires for general use—they are completely sufficient and easier to maintain. Just check the tire pressure regularly, and avoid unnecessary upgrades to save on fuel costs.

Where should a car fire extinguisher be placed?

Car fire extinguishers should be placed under the seat, and can also be placed in: 1. the glove compartment inside the car; 2. beside the seat; 3. the trunk. The storage environment temperature for car fire extinguishers should be within the range of -10 degrees to 45 degrees Celsius, and the place where the fire extinguisher is placed should be kept dry and ventilated to prevent the fire extinguisher from getting damp and corroding. It is recommended to replace car fire extinguishers once a year, as the powder inside a dry powder fire extinguisher may explode if it expires. Car fire extinguishers are specifically designed for car fires and include two main types: non-pressure storage hanging ultra-fine dry powder automatic fire extinguishing devices for vehicles and miniature pressure storage hanging ultra-fine dry powder automatic fire extinguishing devices for vehicles.

What does ECO mean in Chinese?

ECO in Chinese refers to the vehicle's economical driving mode function. ECO is an English abbreviation derived from the combination of Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving), and Optimization (power). The Eco mode is further divided into active Eco driving mode and non-active Eco driving mode. When the Eco indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it indicates that the vehicle's economical mode has been activated. The Eco mode is categorized into active and non-active types. The difference lies in the fact that the active type has its own dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to activate it. When the driver presses the Eco mode switch, the dashboard indicator light immediately illuminates, and the vehicle automatically begins adjusting settings such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output power. The non-active Eco mode does not have a dedicated button. When the Eco indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it serves merely as a reminder function. The Eco system automatically evaluates your driving behavior. If your current driving operation achieves the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will simultaneously display the Eco indicator light. Most vehicles employ the active Eco driving mode, meaning they have a dedicated switch button. Therefore, during daily driving, we can activate the Eco mode. However, it is unnecessary to enable the Eco mode when the speed exceeds 120 km/h, during idle parking, in N/P gear, or manual mode, especially when climbing hills. Doing so would not only fail to demonstrate the fuel-saving characteristics of the Eco mode but also affect the vehicle's power performance. Additionally, the Eco mode typically becomes ineffective under the following circumstances: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometers per hour, the system prioritizes speed, causing the Eco mode to automatically deactivate. During idle parking or when in N/P gear or manual mode, the Eco mode may also become ineffective. When high torque output is required, such as when climbing a hill, the engine control unit prioritizes ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the Eco mode will not operate under such conditions.

What to Do If Your Driver's License Is About to Expire and You Can't Renew It in Time?

If your driver's license is about to expire but you can't renew it in time, you can apply for an extension at the vehicle management office where the license was issued. However, the extension period cannot exceed three years. Below are the specific handling methods for different overdue periods of driver's license renewal: 1. Less than 12 months overdue: If the license has been expired for less than 12 months, you can proceed with the renewal as usual. 2. More than one year but less than three years overdue: If the license has been expired for more than one year but less than three years, you will need to retake the subject one exam to renew the license. Once you pass the exam, you can obtain your driver's license. 3. More than three years overdue: If the license has been expired for more than three years, you will need to reapply for a driver's license. Driving during the overdue period is not allowed and may be treated as driving without a license. If the license has been expired for more than three years, it will be considered invalid and canceled, requiring you to retake the driver's license exam.

What is the fuel consumption of the Tiguan?

The Tiguan currently has 6 models on sale. Among them, the 2022 330TSI automatic two-wheel-drive Zhixiang Edition, R-Line Yuexiang Edition, R-Line Flagship Edition, and Shuxiang Edition (4 models in total) are equipped with a 186-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.6L per 100km. The 2022 380TSI automatic four-wheel-drive R-Line Flagship Edition 7-seater and Yuexiang Edition 7-seater (2 models in total) are equipped with a 220-horsepower engine, with an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.7L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity varies among different Tiguan models. The distance that can be covered on a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with a 186-horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.6L per 100km, the fuel tank capacity is 60L, and the distance that can be covered on a full tank is 60/7.7*100=909km. For models equipped with a 220-horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 7.7L per 100km, the fuel tank capacity is 62.5L, and the distance that can be covered on a full tank is 62.5/6.6*100=812km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power output, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in low temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
