If the vehicle has been driven for 40,000 kilometers within 5 years and the tire wear is not severe, replacement is unnecessary. However, if the tires are over 5 years old or show significant wear, they should be replaced. The wear indicator height for passenger car tires is 1.6mm, while for load-bearing tires it is 2.4mm. The functions of tires include: 1. Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle and bearing the load; 2. Transmitting traction and braking torque to ensure adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; 3. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts during driving, preventing severe vibrations and premature damage to vehicle components; 4. Adapting to the high-speed performance of the vehicle, reducing driving noise, and ensuring safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.

How to Put a Range Rover Evoque Tow Vehicle in Neutral?

You can use the mechanical button on the gear shift lever to perform the shifting operation, which can also be done when the vehicle is without power. Neutral means the gear shift lever is not placed in any gear. After using neutral, the transmission is completely separated from the vehicle's drive wheels. The neutral position is marked as N.

What are the causes of transmission failure in Focus?

Transmission failure in Focus is mainly caused by internal contamination and high temperature. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. Internal contamination of transmission: Many cases of automatic transmission failure are not caused by valve body damage, but by persistent dirt and impurities inside, especially when contaminants accumulate in the valve body causing blockages. This prevents effective regulation of oil pressure, leading to jerking, impact, and slippage issues. 2. High temperature damaging transmission: High temperature degrades the quality and friction characteristics of automatic transmission fluid, increasing friction and wear. This results in transmission noise and sludge formation inside the transmission, causing jerking and impact. When temperature exceeds 120°C, rubber sealing materials begin to harden, eventually leading to leaks and reduced hydraulic pressure. At even higher temperatures, the transmission starts slipping, which in turn causes further temperature rise.
