Car tires can last between 3 to 5 years or 50,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Due to varying usage conditions, tire replacement should primarily be based on wear, followed by age. If the wear is severe, the tires need to be replaced even after just one year of use. Conversely, if the wear is not significant but the tires are over 5 years old from their production date, they must still be replaced to avoid the risk of blowouts. Situations where tires cannot be used further include: 1. Presence of tread cracks, tread bulges, missing tread rubber, uneven wear, chemical corrosion, or repeated punctures by foreign objects; 2. Tread wear approaching the wear indicator: Tires must be replaced when the tread depth reaches 1.6 millimeters, as nearly all tires have a marker at this depth; 3. Tread aging with cracks.

How to Stop at a Red Light with an Automatic Transmission?

When encountering a red light with an automatic transmission, the stopping methods are: 1. For short red lights, you can directly step on the brake; 2. For long red lights, shift to N gear and engage the handbrake. Driving precautions for automatic transmissions include: 1. Accelerate gently when starting, shift to P or N gear when starting, and avoid coasting in neutral; 2. Shift back to N gear when waiting at a red light or temporarily stopping, and shift to P gear when parking; 3. Do not shift into P gear while driving; 4. Ensure the vehicle is completely stopped before shifting into R gear for reversing. The starting steps for an automatic transmission are: 1. Insert the key and turn it to the second ignition position to power on, waiting for the system self-check to complete; 2. Shift the gear lever from P to N; 3. Release the brake and start the car's engine; 4. Step on the brake, shift the gear lever from N to D, release the brake, and press the accelerator to start.

What to Do When the Audi Key Cannot Be Removed Due to Dead Battery?

Audi key cannot be removed due to dead battery mainly has two solutions. Below are the detailed introductions of these two solutions: 1. Foldable key: When the battery is dead, you can turn the steering wheel to remove the key. The foldable key refers to the mechanical blade part of the key. It can be folded into the key by pressing the button on the key. Insert the mechanical blade part into the ignition switch. Keys from different cars cannot turn the ignition switch. 2. Separate key: When the battery is dead, the key can be directly pulled out. However, it must be done with the ignition switch turned off and the gear in P position. There are two types of ignition switches for this key: one requires inserting the entire key into the ignition switch to turn it on.

What Octane Gas Should a Land Rover Discovery Sport Use?

The Land Rover Discovery Sport should use 95 octane gasoline, as recommended in the vehicle's official owner's manual. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the owner's manual, you can also find it indicated on the fuel tank cap. Generally, the gasoline grade can also be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with a compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane gasoline. If the compression ratio is higher, 98 octane gasoline is recommended. However, with the use of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot solely determine the appropriate gasoline grade. High compression ratio engines can also be tuned to use lower octane gasoline due to other influencing factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology. Generally, the higher the gasoline octane rating, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If you occasionally use the wrong gasoline grade in a Land Rover Discovery Sport, simply switch back to the correct grade after running out. However, prolonged use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: Using a higher octane gasoline in a vehicle designed for a lower octane will not cause damage, but the increased octane number can alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. Using a lower octane gasoline in a vehicle designed for a higher octane can cause engine knocking. The significantly lower octane number reduces the fuel's ignition point, causing premature ignition during the compression stroke. If combustion occurs before the spark plug fires, resistance is created during the upward stroke. This resistance makes the engine run very unstably. Mild knocking may only increase noise without noticeable engine damage, but severe knocking indicates serious engine conditions, affecting not only driving stability but also causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, and in extreme cases, cylinder scoring.
