If only a very small portion of the surface skin on the side of a car tire is scraped off, and the depth is shallow, being just surface damage, it will not affect the tire's strength structure. Below is relevant information: 1. Tire precautions: The structure, strength, as well as usage pressure and speed of tires are strictly calculated and determined by manufacturers. Not adhering to standards and overloading tires will affect their service life. According to experiments by relevant departments: When overloaded by 10%, tire life is reduced by 20%; when overloaded by 30%, tire rolling resistance increases by 45%-60%, and fuel consumption also increases. Moreover, overloading itself is strictly prohibited by traffic laws. 2. Severe situations: Tires may undergo significant deformation, at which point the internal critical component, the cord, may break under excessive compression and stretching, leading to tire bulging and increasing the risk of a blowout.

What are the symptoms of a slightly clogged catalytic converter?

Symptoms of a slightly clogged catalytic converter include: reduced vehicle acceleration, difficulty in increasing engine RPM and vehicle speed. After the catalytic converter is clogged, poor exhaust flow leads to reduced air intake and decreased engine power. Vehicles with automatic transmissions experience frequent forced downshifts. There may be slight backfiring when the engine is suddenly accelerated. During sudden acceleration or deceleration, a 'rattling' sound can be heard from the exhaust system. Below is an extended introduction: Introduction to the catalytic converter: The catalytic converter is an important external purification device installed in the vehicle's exhaust system. It converts harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOx emitted from vehicle exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction reactions. It features stable performance, reliable quality, and a long service life.

What Causes a Car's Handbrake to Fail?

The reasons for a car's handbrake failing to hold include brake fluid leakage and thinning brake discs. The specific causes are as follows: Brake Fluid Leakage: It is necessary to inspect the brake fluid, as leakage or insufficient brake fluid can result in the handbrake failing to hold. The braking system mainly consists of several parts: the energy supply device, control device, transmission device, and brake. The primary function of the braking system is to decelerate or even stop a moving car, maintain a stable speed for a car going downhill, and keep a parked car stationary. Thinning Brake Discs: Accompanied by body vibration or abnormal noises when braking, this is due to thinning brake discs or foreign objects entering the brake pads. Uneven surfaces on the brake discs can cause sharp metallic friction sounds when braking, as well as insufficient braking force, longer braking distances, and softer braking.

What Causes Water Under the Car Carpet?

Water under the car carpet is usually caused by air conditioning leaks. Here are detailed explanations about carpet water ingress: 1. Treatment Methods: If the carpet is only slightly wet, you can use a cleaning agent to remove dust and dirty water from the carpet; for severe water ingress, it's necessary to remove the seats and lift the floor covering for thorough cleaning. 2. Precautions: Avoid completely soaking the carpet in water for scrubbing, as this can damage the adhesive between different material layers inside the carpet and may result in prolonged drying time that affects usage effectiveness and causes interior humidity.

Why Are the Wheels Not Turning?

There are several reasons why wheels may not turn: 1. Possible brake seizure: oil line leakage, lack of oil, air in the system, brake caliper not retracting, brake pads stuck, or poor return of the brake wheel cylinder. 2. Handbrake issues: one-sided handbrake cable stuck and not retracting, abnormal handbrake lever (control failure, such as loose handle, missing fixing screws, etc.), or abnormal electronic handbrake control (or its wiring). 3. Rear wheel problems: seized bearings, one-sided axle shaft stuck, differential stuck, or bearings/differential burned out due to lack of oil. 4. Special circumstances: when driving on snowy or muddy slippery roads, for four-wheel-drive vehicles, special four-wheel-drive anti-lock mechanisms may engage. This is normal.

Should You Fasten the Seat Belt or Adjust the Seat First in Subject 2?

Adjust the seat first, then fasten the seat belt. Below is additional information related to Subject 2: 1. Subject 2 Exam Content: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the field driving skills test. For small cars (C1 and C2), the exam includes five mandatory items: reverse parking, parallel parking, hill start and stop, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as the S-curve). Some regions also include a sixth item: high-speed toll card collection. Starting from June 1, 2021, the "hill start and stop" item will be removed from the Subject 2 test for small automatic transmission vehicle licenses. 2. Passing Standards: For large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, and large trucks, a score of 90 is required; for other vehicle types, a score of 80 is required.
