If only a small piece of the tire is chipped off, it does not affect normal use. Here are the detailed explanations: Monitor changes in the tire: Pay attention to whether cracks, accelerated wear, or bulges appear near the damaged area of the tire. If any abnormalities are noticed, replace the tire promptly. Avoid high-speed driving: If a piece of the tire is chipped off, its load-bearing capacity may be compromised. Therefore, avoid using the damaged tire for high-speed driving to prevent accidents. Avoid heavy loads: Whether for passenger cars or trucks, try not to overload the vehicle. A damaged tire has reduced load-bearing capacity, and overloading can easily lead to a blowout.

What does 'mode' mean on a car's air conditioning system?

mode translates to 'mode' or 'direction' in English. If the mode button is located in the air conditioning control area of the center console, it is used to switch between different air outlet modes of the car's air conditioning system, typically cycling through modes such as foot-level, head-level, and windshield defrost. More details are as follows: 1. The air direction adjustment buttons of automatic air conditioning systems are becoming increasingly user-friendly. Many car models feature intuitive button designs with separate buttons for the head, upper body, and feet, making them easy to use. 2. However, most car models still use a conventional single button for air direction adjustment, commonly labeled as 'MODE'. 3. In cars, MODE is a button used to switch between different multimedia modes, such as FM radio, AM radio, CD, or USB. Other letter indicators on a car's air conditioning system and their meanings: 1. AC: The A/C button is the switch for the air conditioning compressor. Only when the compressor is turned on does the air conditioning system have cooling capability. The AC light indicates that the compressor is operating, allowing the vehicle's air conditioning to cool. 2. MAX: When the MAX function is activated, the car's air conditioning system operates at full capacity with the fan at maximum speed. This feature is only available in some models with automatic air conditioning. Pressing MAX causes the air conditioning compressor and fan to operate at maximum output to quickly reach the set temperature. 3. FRONT button: Front windshield defrost switch. When activated, the air outlets direct air toward the front windshield. 4. REAR button: Rear windshield defrost switch. When activated, the rear windshield's heating wires are turned on.
