After a car tire puncture, you should not continue driving. Once you notice that the tire is losing air, you must immediately pull over to the side of the road and stop driving. Contact relevant personnel for assistance; otherwise, the tire may be completely ruined. Additionally, if the tire is punctured but not losing air, the owner should not remove the foreign object on their own, as doing so may cause the tire to start leaking, rendering the car undrivable. In such cases, you can drive slowly to a repair location. If the tire is severely leaking, do not attempt to drive forcefully—this not only harms the tire but also poses a significant driving hazard. Car tires are one of the most critical components of a vehicle, as they directly interact with the road surface. Along with the car's suspension system, they help absorb shocks during driving, ensuring a comfortable ride and smooth handling. They also maintain good traction between the wheels and the road, improving the car's acceleration, braking, and overall drivability.

How long can you drive with a punctured tire? I have experience with this, and honestly, not for long. After a tire is punctured, the air pressure will slowly leak, causing the rim to deform under pressure, making the car unstable and prone to losing control or even rolling over at higher speeds. With over 20 years of driving experience, I've seen many friends continue driving for convenience, only to have their tires burst, nearly causing accidents on the highway. If your tire gets punctured, it's best to pull over immediately and check. If you must drive, do so at low speed to the nearest repair shop—at most a few hundred meters. Quickly change to a spare tire or use an inflatable tire repair kit as an emergency measure. Also, remember to visit a professional shop for a tire replacement or repair promptly. Don't skimp on this—safety is far more important than time. Regularly checking tire pressure can prevent issues, and keeping a spare tire in your car is always a good idea.

What does 'trip' on the car dashboard mean?

The 'trip' on the car dashboard refers to the trip mileage, which can be used to record the kilometers traveled for each trip. The working principle of the odometer is: knowing the diameter of the car wheel, the circumference of the wheel can be calculated, and then the number of rotations required for the wheel to travel one mile can be determined. The odometer automatically records the number of wheel rotations, and dividing by the number of rotations corresponding to one mile gives the mileage traveled. The car dashboard is equipped with various indicator lights or warning lights, including: 1. Coolant level warning light; 2. Charging indicator light; 3. High/low beam indicator light; 4. Transmission gear indicator light; 5. Anti-lock braking system (ABS) indicator light; 6. Traction control indicator light and airbag warning light; 7. Front/rear fog light indicator and warning light; 8. Electronic throttle indicator light.

What is a Start-Stop Battery?

Start-stop batteries are specialized batteries used in vehicles equipped with automatic start-stop functionality. These batteries enable the car to automatically shut off the engine during temporary stops and restart it when the car moves forward, thereby achieving energy savings and emission reduction while also lowering exhaust emissions. Methods for maintaining car batteries include: 1. Start the car periodically to charge the battery; 2. Add distilled water or a specialized replenishing fluid when the electrolyte level is low; 3. Regularly check the small holes on the battery cover to ensure they are ventilated; 4. Inspect the battery's positive and negative terminals for oxidation; 5. Examine all parts of the circuit for signs of aging or short circuits; 6. Turn off all electrical devices when leaving the car.

Can a car that has been using 95-octane gasoline switch to 92-octane?

Whether a car that has been using 95-octane gasoline can switch to 92-octane depends on the specific situation: 1. If the car's manual indicates that 92-octane gasoline can be used, then it is permissible to switch; 2. If the car's manual specifies that 95-octane or higher gasoline should be used, then it is not advisable to switch to 92-octane gasoline. Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid derived from the fractional distillation, cracking, or pyrolysis of petroleum. At room temperature, gasoline appears as a colorless to pale-yellow, easily flowing liquid that is difficult to dissolve in water, highly flammable, with a distillation range of 30 to 205 degrees Celsius. It is commonly used as fuel, with key characteristics including volatility, stability, anti-knock properties, corrosiveness, and cleanliness.

What Causes Car Engine Shaking During Ignition?

The reasons for car engine shaking during ignition are: 1. Dirty throttle body or excessive carbon deposits in fuel injectors; 2. Worn or loose engine mounts; 3. Engine misfire (cylinder malfunction); 4. Intake system failure; 5. Poor fuel injector atomization or clogging; 6. Additional air valve not opening or insufficient opening during cold starts. The correct steps for starting a car are: 1. Insert the key into the lock position without turning immediately, wait about 2 seconds; 2. Ensure the car gear is in P (Park) or N (Neutral) position; 3. Turn the key past ACC position and pause at ON position for about 5 seconds; 4. Turn the key to START position to ignite; 5. Release the key after engine starts (it will automatically return to ON position); 6. Press the brake pedal and shift gear to D (Drive) position; 7. Release parking brake and then foot brake.

Can a swollen car battery be repaired?

A swollen car battery cannot be repaired. A bulging battery is prone to reverse polarity later on, which can lead to charger burnout, regulator damage, and inadequate protection functions of the regulator and charger. It may also cause vehicle fires. Precautions for battery charging include: 1. Battery voltage below 10% of the rated voltage may result in battery depletion; 2. Avoid water ingress during charging; 3. Charge the battery directly without removing it to prevent data loss. The functions of the battery are: 1. When starting the engine, the battery supplies power to the starting system, ignition system, and electronic fuel injection system; 2. When the engine is off or at low idle, it powers the vehicle's electrical equipment; 3. When the generator output is insufficient, it supplies power to the electrical equipment; 4. It mitigates voltage surges in the electrical system, protecting the vehicle's electronic devices; 5. It stores excess electricity generated by the alternator.
