Generally, there is no need to adjust the tire pressure for a new car as long as it remains within the normal range. Here are the relevant details: 1. The recommended tire pressure for most models on the market is between 2.5-2.7 bar. When picking up a new car, simply follow the manufacturer's recommended value. The recommended tire pressure may vary for each vehicle. The standard tire pressure for a vehicle can be found in the owner's manual, on the lower side of the B-pillar, or inside the fuel filler cap. 2. Whether tire pressure adjustment is necessary depends on environmental factors. Since tire pressure is not constant, it can be affected by road surface temperature or tire surface temperature. In summer, when the ground temperature is very high, the air inside the tires expands, increasing the volume, which in turn raises the tire pressure. In winter, lower temperatures cause the air in the tires to contract, reducing the tire pressure accordingly. Additionally, high-speed driving causes continuous friction between the tires and the road, which can also increase tire pressure.

What is the function of the transmission solenoid valve in a car?

The function of the transmission solenoid valve in a car is to control mechanical valves to complete the switching of oil circuits and the pressure regulation of oil flow, which is controlled by the Transmission Control Unit (TCU). The transmission, also known as the gearbox, is a mechanism used to change the speed and torque from the engine. It can fix or change the transmission ratio between the output shaft and input shaft in steps. It consists of a transmission mechanism and an operating mechanism. Types of transmissions include: 1. According to the method of transmission ratio change: stepped transmission, continuously variable transmission (CVT), and integrated transmission; 2. According to the operation method: manually operated transmission, automatically operated transmission, and semi-automatically operated transmission.

What Causes High Idle Speed During Cold Engine Start?

High idle speed during cold engine start can be caused by: 1. Throttle valve sticking or failing to close properly; 2. Malfunction of the idle control valve; 3. Faulty coolant temperature sensor; 4. Air intake system leakage; 5. Malfunction of the air conditioning switch or power steering pressure switch. Idle speed refers to the engine running without load, overcoming internal friction resistance without outputting power, maintaining the minimum stable operating speed. Hazards of high idle speed include: 1. Increased engine carbon deposits; 2. Shortened engine lifespan; 3. Overly rich air-fuel mixture, potentially damaging the catalytic converter; 4. Loosening of vehicle braking components, increasing accident risks; 5. Increased exhaust emissions from engine cylinders.

What issues should be paid attention to when driving on mountain roads?

Issues that need attention when driving on mountain roads are: 1. Do not drive too fast, slow down; 2. Avoid temporary parking; 3. In case of emergency parking, stop at a wide roadside and turn on the hazard lights; 4. When going uphill, try to use lower gears; 5. When going downhill, use lower gears to control the speed with engine traction and avoid frequent braking. The method for starting uphill with an automatic transmission is: 1. Press the brake and pull up the handbrake at the same time; 2. Shift to L gear or S gear and slowly give gas; 3. When the car's forward power is held back by the handbrake, slowly release the handbrake, and the vehicle can start climbing smoothly.
