Tire sidewall bulges slightly affect safety. Here is the relevant introduction: Reasons: Because a car tire bulge indicates that the internal cord is broken, and the cord layer is the skeleton of the tire. When the cord breaks, only the rubber is left to prevent gas from escaping. In addition, the sidewall is inherently weak. When the tire pressure is too high, the bulging area is prone to rupture. Causes of tire sidewall bulges: When the tire pressure is too high, bulging is more likely to occur; when the tire pressure is too low, the wheel rim impacts the ground, which can also cause bulging. Uneven road surfaces, leading to frequent impacts between the tire and the ground or obstacles, can also cause tire bulging. Scraping the tire against the curb is also extremely damaging to the tire and can easily lead to bulging.

What is a Cold Start for Cars?

Car cold start refers to starting the engine when the coolant temperature is low, typically after the vehicle hasn't been operated for an extended period (such as overnight parking). After the engine has been shut off for some time, it cools down to temperatures significantly below normal operating levels, and engine oil largely drains back to the oil pan. Restarting under these conditions constitutes a cold start. Approximately 80% of engine wear occurs during cold starts. Therefore, it's crucial to pay attention to preheating (warming up) the engine before driving. Before warming up, component clearances are larger, and lubricating oil settles in the oil pan. The engine requires a period of warm-up operation for components to expand to their proper clearances. Simultaneously, the oil pump begins circulating oil to all necessary lubrication points.

How to Check if the Car Fuel Gauge Shows Fuel?

To check if the car fuel gauge shows fuel, follow these steps: 1. If the illuminated bars reach the 'F' position, it indicates the tank is full; 2. The closer the illuminated bars are to the 'E' position, the less fuel remains, signaling the need for timely refueling. The fuel gauge is designed to indicate the amount of fuel remaining in the car's fuel tank, with its primary function being to alert the driver immediately when the fuel level drops below a specified minimum, prompting them to refuel. Fuel gauges are categorized into analog (pointer-type) and digital types based on their design. Important considerations when refueling include: 1. Avoid waiting until the fuel warning light (yellow light) comes on to prevent running too low on fuel; 2. Choose to refuel during cooler times of the day, such as early morning or evening; 3. When driving in urban areas, avoid filling the tank to the brim to prevent overflow, which could lead to spark plug malfunctions and cause the car to stall after refueling; 4. Avoid refueling during thunderstorms to prevent the fueling nozzle from introducing stray currents into the fuel tank, which could pose fire or explosion hazards.
