Car tires are usually replaced between 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Tires should be replaced under the following circumstances: 1. When the tire wears down to the wear limit indicator (i.e., the tread pattern depth is below 1.6 mm), it must be discontinued. 2. Tire aging. If there are numerous small cracks at the bottom of the tread grooves or on the sidewalls, the tire should be replaced immediately, regardless of whether it is new or old. 3. Tires with deformed treads or damaged beads, tires whose sidewalls have been damaged due to driving under-inflated, and tires corroded by chemicals should not continue to be used. 4. Bulging tires must not continue to be used. 5. Any other damage that affects the safety of the tire also prohibits its continued use.

Can the car air conditioner be turned on without starting the engine?

You can turn on the car air conditioner without starting the engine, but the air conditioner will not have cooling function. After using it for a period of time, the car battery will be depleted, making it difficult to start the car. It is not recommended to keep the air conditioner on for a long time when the engine is off. The duration of running the air conditioner while the car is idling should not be too long, otherwise it may easily lead to engine carbon buildup. More details are as follows: 1. When the car air conditioner is turned on without starting the engine, the air blown out is natural air from the blower, because the air conditioner compressor is driven by the engine power. When the engine is off, the air conditioner compressor will not work, and the natural air blown by the blower is powered by the battery. 2. Keeping the air conditioner on for a long time without starting the engine will deplete the car battery. In mild cases, the car may not start, and in severe cases, it may cause the battery to remain in a depleted state for a long time. This applies only to traditional fuel vehicles; new energy vehicles will not encounter this situation. 3. Not turning off the air conditioner after the engine is shut down has a significant impact on the car, because cars have a chain mechanism that automatically cuts off most auxiliary circuits after shutdown. The air conditioner will be powered off after shutdown. Not turning off the air conditioner after shutdown can easily damage the engine. The next time you start the car, the load of the air conditioner will cause the engine to bear excessive load.

What are the steps for decelerating an automatic transmission car?

Correct method for decelerating an automatic transmission car: To decelerate, you must release the accelerator early and apply the brake firmly in a timely manner. Steps for stopping an automatic transmission car: 1. Release the accelerator, apply the brake. When coming to a complete stop, after entering the parking position, keep the brake pedal depressed. 2. Shift the gear lever to N (Neutral), engage the handbrake, release the foot brake, then turn off the engine. Finally, shift the gear lever to P (Park), remove the key, and the stopping process is complete. Automatic transmission typically refers to the car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the control system of the automatic transmission selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load during driving. A standard automatic transmission car has six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. The commonly used automatic gear positions are Park (P), Reverse (R), Neutral (N), and Drive (D).

Why is the iA5 labeled as GAC Trumpchi instead of GAC Toyota?

Because both models are developed based on the "prototype vehicle" created by GAC Research Institute. The differences between the two models stem from modifications made to the prototype, which is why the iA5 bears the GAC Trumpchi logo. Below is a brief introduction to GAC Trumpchi: 1. Basic Information: GAC Trumpchi is a wholly-owned subsidiary established by Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., Ltd. It is a high-tech enterprise dedicated to the research and development of complete vehicles, engines, automotive accessories, and automotive engineering technologies. Founded on July 21, 2008, its headquarters is located in Panyu District, Guangzhou. 2. Brand Culture: GAC Trumpchi is the first independently developed model by GAC Group, targeting the mid-to-high-end market. Adhering to the brand philosophy of "Building good cars for loved ones and filling the world with love," it integrates the resources and experience of GAC Group, insists on independent innovation, and is committed to developing models suitable for Chinese driving habits and road characteristics.

What Causes Black Smoke from a Gasoline Engine?

Black smoke from a car engine is caused by an overly rich air-fuel mixture leading to incomplete combustion, a clogged air filter, or ignition system failure. Below is a detailed analysis of the specific causes: 1. Poor fuel quality: Using low-quality gasoline can result in an overly rich air-fuel mixture, leading to incomplete combustion. If you accidentally fill up with substandard gasoline, which contains more impurities, the combustion efficiency will significantly decrease, causing black smoke from the exhaust pipe. 2. Clogged air filter: A clogged air filter can lead to an overly rich mixture, causing insufficient oxygen supply to the engine and incomplete combustion, which results in black smoke from the exhaust pipe. This is a relatively common cause. 3. Ignition system failure: If the car's ignition system malfunctions, it can also cause black smoke. This is often due to issues such as spark plug leakage, weak high voltage, or fuel injector leakage.

Is it necessary to use turn signals when changing lanes?

Changing lanes requires the use of turn signals to alert other vehicles of your intention to change lanes. Here are the relevant details: 1. Regulations: Article 57 of the 'Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' stipulates that when a motor vehicle turns left, changes lanes to the left, prepares to overtake, leaves a parking spot, or makes a U-turn, the left turn signal must be activated in advance. When turning right, changing lanes to the right, returning to the original lane after overtaking, or pulling over to the roadside, the right turn signal must be activated in advance. 2. Precautions for lane changing: When entering the traffic lane from an acceleration lane, observe the conditions in the traffic lane and merge behind normally moving vehicles when traffic is sparse. If a normally moving vehicle is closely following, control your speed and enter the traffic lane only after all vehicles have passed; do not abruptly cut in. Lane changes must always be preceded by activating the turn signal.

What is the cause of the Buick fault code 136?

ode136 code indicates a parking assist system malfunction. If this issue occurs, you can try disconnecting and reconnecting the battery cables, as the problem is mainly related to the power supply voltage of the assist system's radar, camera, and other wiring. Alternatively, it could be due to a malfunction in the camera, sensors, or distance measurement equipment. In such cases, it is advisable to visit a professional auto repair shop for timely repairs. The automatic parking assist system is designed to facilitate automatic parking. Among various automotive accessories, those related to reversing safety are particularly noteworthy. Models equipped with reversing assist systems are often considered a hallmark of high-end vehicle configurations. Different automatic parking systems employ various methods to detect objects around the vehicle. Some systems use sensors installed around the front and rear bumpers, which can act as both transmitters and receivers. These sensors send signals that reflect off obstacles near the vehicle. The onboard computer then calculates the time taken for the signal to return to determine the obstacle's position. Other systems use cameras or radar mounted on the bumpers to detect obstacles. However, the end result is the same: the vehicle detects parked cars, the size of the parking space, and the distance to the curb, then maneuvers the car into the parking spot.
