Small cracks on the sidewall of car tires are a normal phenomenon and generally do not affect normal use. However, if large cracks appear or even the tire body cords are exposed, the tire must be replaced. Related information is as follows: 1. The role of tires: (1) Transmit driving force, braking force, and steering force to achieve vehicle operation. (2) Support vehicle load. (3) Reduce and absorb vibrations and impacts during driving, avoiding severe vibrations that could damage car components. 2. Tire maintenance methods: (1) Regularly clean stones from tire treads. (2) Reduce exposure to direct sunlight. (3) Promptly check tire pressure. (4) Pay attention to suspension maintenance. (5) Regularly inspect front wheel alignment. (6) Be mindful of driving habits, choose road surfaces carefully while driving, avoid objects that could puncture or scratch tires, and steer clear of chemical spills that could corrode tires.

What does 'set' mean in a car?

The 'set' button in a car is the speed adjustment switch for cruise control. When using cruise control, you need to first press the 'on' button to activate the cruise control function. To set the speed for cruise control, press the 'set' button. Note that cruise control has certain speed limitations. Precautions for using cruise control: 1. Pressing the brake will deactivate cruise control. The speed setting is not cleared and can be resumed to continue cruising at the previously set speed. 2. In complex road conditions or under adverse weather conditions, using cruise control may be dangerous. Please turn off cruise control and drive manually. 3. On downhill slopes, the vehicle may accelerate quickly. You should use the brake to control the speed to prevent loss of control and potential accidents.

How to switch between D and S gears?

To shift from D gear to S gear in an automatic transmission, the vehicle must be completely stationary on the road; otherwise, it may damage the car's automatic transmission. The steps to switch from D gear to S gear are as follows: 1. Press the car's brake pedal to slow down the vehicle until it comes to a complete stop on the road. 2. Move the gear lever to the right from the D gear position to switch to S gear. At this point, pressing the accelerator pedal will allow the car to move forward. Here is some related information: 1. D stands for Drive gear, also known as the driving gear. In this gear, the transmission automatically shifts between 1st and overdrive (equivalent to 1st to 4th gears) based on speed and throttle conditions. This gear is used for normal road driving. 2. S stands for Sport mode. In this gear, the transmission can shift freely, but the shift timing is delayed to keep the engine at higher RPMs for a longer time, increasing the vehicle's power. Of course, this will also result in increased fuel consumption.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the Mazda Atenza 2.0?

The official combined fuel consumption of the Mazda Atenza is 6.4L/100km. The fuel consumption of a car is closely related to the driver's habits and the road conditions. If the driving habits are poor and the car is frequently driven on roads with severe traffic congestion, the fuel consumption will definitely be higher. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Check the air conditioning system in summer. Air conditioning malfunctions are a significant cause of high fuel consumption. If the cooling effect is poor, the fan speed will be increased and the temperature lowered to achieve a cooling effect. 2. Frequent sudden braking. Frequent sudden braking is the main reason for persistently high fuel consumption. While ensuring safe driving, make full use of the vehicle's inertia. 3. Avoid setting the air conditioning too high in small-displacement vehicles. For vehicles exposed to the sun, do not turn on the air conditioning immediately after getting in. First, open the windows and set the fan to a higher speed without turning on the air conditioning to expel the hot air inside. Wait until the vehicle has cooled down moderately before turning on the air conditioning.

What are the signs of a damaged car transmission?

Transmission is a crucial component of a car's drivetrain system. If the transmission is damaged and leaks oil, it can affect the car's engine. Signs of transmission damage include oil leakage at the oil seal neck, leakage at the housing joint surface, and leakage at the bearing front joint surface. Below are some maintenance methods for car transmissions: 1. Replace automatic transmission fluid every 12 months or 20,000 kilometers. Avoid coasting in neutral. Regularly check the fluid level. 2. Do not skip gears when shifting up. Do not force the transmission into neutral. Do not shorten the idle warm-up time. Avoid gear grinding when shifting. 3. Clean the transmission. Do not start driving immediately without warming up the car. Perform regular maintenance on the automatic transmission.
