In general, a tire punctured by a nail can be repaired, but if it has been punctured more than three times, it should be replaced promptly. Here is some knowledge about tires: 1. Introduction: Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface. 2. Function: Tires and the vehicle's suspension work together to cushion the impact during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smoothness; they also ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improve the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability, and bear the weight of the car. The important role tires play in vehicles is increasingly being recognized.

How to Perform Emergency Braking with Electronic Parking Brake?

For temporary parking, press the auto-hold function button and depress the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a complete stop, eliminating the need to keep your foot on the brake or use the handbrake. To deactivate the auto-hold braking function, simply press the accelerator pedal. For automatic transmission models, there's no need to frequently switch between D to N or D to P. If you need to exit the vehicle or unfasten the seatbelt during braking, always shift to P (Park) or activate the electronic parking brake function.

How to Charge a Battery for Longer Lifespan?

Use the original charger and avoid mixing chargers. Just like each phone comes with its own dedicated charger as standard equipment, the same applies to electric bike chargers. Do not wait until the electric vehicle's battery is completely depleted before charging; charge it in a timely manner. You can charge after using up the battery power or immediately after riding. Avoid exposing the battery to high temperatures under direct sunlight. For convenience, many people prefer charging downstairs, which often results in the electric vehicle's charger being exposed to high temperatures for extended periods.

What Causes Car Engine Shaking?

Car engine shaking can be caused by: 1. A dirty engine throttle or excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injector, where the gasoline sprayed by the cold-start injector is largely absorbed by carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts and difficulty in ignition; 2. Poor performance of the ignition system, including spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils; 3. Abnormal fuel supply pressure, incorrect intake pressure readings, or malfunctioning sensors. Solutions for car engine shaking: 1. Clean the fuel system and inspect the idle control valve for carbon buildup; 2. Check if the spark plugs have excessive carbon deposits and replace them if necessary; 3. Inspect fuel pressure and replace faulty components.

Is pulling up the handbrake considered braking?

Pulling up the handbrake is indeed braking. The handbrake, also known as the auxiliary brake, operates differently from the main braking system. It uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to apply braking force to the vehicle. Prolonged use of the handbrake can cause the steel cable to undergo plastic deformation. Since this deformation is irreversible, long-term use will reduce its effectiveness and increase the handbrake's travel distance. The maintenance methods for the braking system include: 1. High-temperature protection to prevent corrosion of the braking system and avoid brake pad seizure due to overheating; 2. Cleaning oil stains from the brake discs and drums to ensure proper heat dissipation; 3. Regularly replacing the brake fluid; 4. Periodically checking the thickness of the brake pads or shoes.
