Tire missing a piece of rubber has an impact. If the sidewall of the tire is peeling, it is recommended to replace it because the sidewall is the weakest part of the tire. If the fabric layer is exposed, it becomes quite dangerous and highly prone to a blowout. For safety reasons, it is generally advised to replace the tire with a new one. If the depth and width of the damage are less than 3 millimeters, it can be used as a spare tire. Below is the relevant information: Tread damage: Any damage to the tire should be taken seriously, as the tire bears all the weight of the vehicle, and a blowout poses significant risks. If a small piece of the tread pattern is missing, it is not a major issue and can be used for daily driving, but it is not recommended for highway speeds. Sidewall peeling: If the sidewall of the tire is peeling, replacement is recommended. The rubber on the sidewall is already thin, and losing a piece makes it even thinner, increasing the risk of a blowout from the damaged area.

What is the function of a sunroof?

The function of a sunroof is to clear fog, quickly remove odors, provide an escape route, and reduce exhaust fumes entering the car. Installed on the roof of the vehicle, a sunroof effectively promotes air circulation inside the car, allowing fresh air to enter while also expanding the field of vision and meeting the needs of mobile photography and videography. Sunroofs can be broadly categorized into: sliding-out, built-in, built-in flip-up, panoramic, and curtain types, primarily installed on commercial SUVs, sedans, and other vehicle models. Sunroofs change the traditional method of air exchange by creating a flow of wind that draws out stale air from the cabin. When driving at high speeds, air flows rapidly around the vehicle. Opening the sunroof creates a low-pressure area outside the car, and due to the difference in air pressure inside and outside the vehicle, it draws out the polluted air inside, achieving the purpose of air exchange. This ensures the cabin always maintains fresh air, enhancing the driving experience for the owner.

What does tire size mean?

Tire size indicates the dimensions of a tire. Generally, the tire size used by a vehicle is printed on the sidewall of the tire. Different types of vehicles use different tire sizes. Taking a tire model of 250/60R15 as an example, 250 represents the width of the tire; 60 represents the aspect ratio of the tire; R stands for radial tire; and 15 represents the size of the tire. Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly contacting the road surface and working together with the vehicle suspension to mitigate the impact during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving. They also ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improving the vehicle's traction, braking, and off-road capability.

Is it necessary to use 95 gasoline for the Sagitar?

The Sagitar equipped with a naturally aspirated engine can use 92 gasoline, while the Sagitar equipped with a turbocharged engine must use 95 or higher-grade gasoline. Turbocharged engines operate with high temperatures and pressures inside the cylinders, and using lower-grade gasoline can easily cause knocking. The Sagitar is a compact family car under the Volkswagen brand, with body dimensions of 4753mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1462mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2731mm. The new Sagitar models all use turbocharged engines, one being a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine and the other a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine. These engines are paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Why does it say the fuel tank pressure is high when refueling?

When refueling, the fuel tank pressure is high because the temperature of the gasoline increases while driving, causing slight evaporation. This results in some gasoline vapor in the fuel tank, which increases the pressure. It is recommended to buy a bottle of fuel additive to help reduce the pressure. The fuel tank maintains a certain level of pressure. When the fuel cap is opened, the pressure is released, which can produce a sound. Normally, the pressure is regulated by the one-way valve in the fuel cap to keep the fuel tank pressure stable. Except during refueling when the fuel tank is in a semi-sealed state, it remains fully sealed at other times. However, as the vehicle ages and is used over time, sediment and impurities in the fuel tank will accumulate and inevitably enter the engine through the fuel supply system, potentially causing damage to the car over time.
