Reputable tire manufacturers typically provide recommendations on the number of times a tire can be patched, with some suggesting three times and higher-quality tires possibly allowing up to five times. As long as the number of patches remains within the recommended range, it will not affect the normal use of the tire. Methods for tire maintenance include: 1. Perform wheel alignment and tire rotation: Conduct a wheel alignment and tire rotation every 10,000 kilometers. 2. Regularly check tire pressure: Tire maintenance also involves checking the pressure periodically. Overinflated tires can significantly reduce their lifespan, while underinflated tires may lead to poor braking performance, difficulty in steering, or heavy steering, and will also shorten the tire's service life.

How to Repair a Broken Car USB?

The car USB port may be broken due to internal wire disconnection or solder joint detachment. It is recommended to go to a 4S shop or an auto repair shop for repair or replacement. Below is an introduction to car USB repair: 1. If the original car USB is damaged, the entire unit needs to be replaced, requiring the connection wires to be disconnected. Purchase a new interface and connect it. If it's a replacement USB, simply changing the interface will suffice. 2. USB uses a four-wire cable, with two wires serving as serial channels for data transmission and the other two providing power to downstream devices. For any successfully connected and mutually recognized peripheral, data will be transmitted at the highest rate supported by both devices. 3. The USB bus will automatically switch from high speed to low speed among compatible transmission modes based on peripheral conditions and lock at the appropriate rate. USB is a token-based bus, similar to token ring networks or FDDI token-based buses. 4. The USB host controller broadcasts tokens, and devices on the bus check if the address in the token matches their own, responding by receiving or sending data to the host. USB manages bus power by supporting suspend/resume operations. The USB system uses a tiered star topology, consisting of three basic components: the host, the hub, and functional devices.

Working Principle of Disc Brakes

Here is an introduction to the working principle of disc brakes: 1. The hydraulic fluid is pressed into the inner and outer wheel cylinders, and the pistons press the two brake pads against the brake disc under hydraulic pressure, generating frictional torque to achieve braking. At this time, the edge of the rectangular rubber seal ring in the wheel cylinder groove undergoes slight elastic deformation due to the friction force of the piston. 2. When the brake is released, the pistons and brake pads return to their original positions by the elastic force of the seal ring and the spring. 3. The deformation of the rectangular seal ring edge is minimal. When not braking, the gap between the friction pad and the disc is only about 0.1mm on each side, which is sufficient to ensure the release of braking. Additionally, since the brake disc expands slightly when heated, its thickness changes minimally, preventing the occurrence of 'drag' phenomenon. 4. Besides sealing, the rectangular rubber seal ring also functions to return the piston and automatically adjust the gap. If the wear between the friction pad of the brake pad and the disc increases, the piston can continue to move after the seal ring deformation reaches its limit during braking, until the friction pad presses firmly against the brake disc.

Can a Car Change Color by Applying Film?

It is possible to change a car's color by applying film. However, without approval from the traffic department, a full-body color change may be considered illegal. Currently, full-body color changes are permitted but require registration and filing. With increasingly relaxed modification policies, if the color change via film exceeds 30% of the vehicle's surface, it must be reported to the vehicle management office to update the vehicle registration certificate. Below are the steps for filing a color change via film: 1. If the original vehicle has any outstanding violations, they must be resolved before proceeding. The applicant must then bring the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's identity proof, the vehicle registration certificate, and the vehicle license to the vehicle management office to fill out the 'Motor Vehicle Change Registration Application Form' and submit the application. If approved, the applicant will receive a 'Notice of Approval for Change,' allowing the color change. Note that the new color and patterns must not imitate emergency vehicles such as police cars or fire trucks, and the vehicle color must not exceed three variations. 2. After the color change, the vehicle owner or agent must drive the modified vehicle to the vehicle management office with the required documents and invoice to complete the inspection process. The office staff will record the new color, take new photos, and update the registration details.

How to File an Insurance Claim After Hitting Your Own Car?

Here are the steps for filing an insurance claim after hitting your own car: 1. Report the incident: Bring your insurance policy, vehicle registration, and driver's license to the insurance company in your own car. 2. Fill out the 'Vehicle Accident Registration Form' and 'Accident Notification Form' at the claims department. 3. Damage assessment: Take the 'Vehicle Accident Registration Form' to the claims department's assessor to determine repair items and costs. After assessment, you will receive a 'Damage Assessment Form'. Do not omit any repair items; repair costs should not be set too low. 4. Vehicle repair: Submit the 'Damage Assessment Form' to the repair shop. The shop will repair the vehicle according to the form and provide you with a 'Vehicle Pickup Slip' as proof. 5. After repairs, pay the repair fee with the 'Vehicle Pickup Slip' to retrieve your car, and request the following documents from the repair shop: 'Repair Invoice', 'Repair Order', 'Work Order', and 'Material List' (all must bear the repair shop's official seal). 6. Submit documents: Provide the 'Accident Notification Form', 'Damage Assessment Form', 'Repair Invoice', 'Repair Order', 'Material List', 'Work Order', and 'Claim Settlement Form' to the insurance company's claims department. 7. Claim approval: Normally, insurance companies will reimburse all reasonable rescue expenses. For towing services, standard vehicles are typically covered for one tow regardless of the number of tows, with only one reimbursement provided. Just submit the invoice for reimbursement.

How to Use the One-Button Start in a Car?

First, press the start button once to turn on the ACC light, then press the start button again. At this point, the one-button start will turn green, and the vehicle will begin self-checking. After the self-check is completed, press the brake and press the one-button start once more to start the vehicle. Below are some precautions regarding the one-button start: 1. Turning off the engine while driving: In case of an emergency while driving, you can turn off the engine by pressing the engine start/stop button for more than 3 seconds or pressing it three times consecutively. The power will then switch to ACC mode. 2. Restarting the engine while driving: If the engine stalls while driving, you can restart it without pressing the brake pedal by shifting the gear lever to N (neutral) and pressing the engine start/stop button. 3. Low battery or malfunctioning smart key: Replace the battery promptly. If you need to use the vehicle, you can open the door with the mechanical key and insert the smart key into the smart key cylinder to start the engine. 4. Steering wheel lock: When the engine start/stop button is in OFF mode, the steering wheel locks for anti-theft purposes. The steering wheel will also lock automatically when the door is opened or the smart key is removed from the cylinder. Normally, the steering wheel unlocks automatically when the engine start/stop button is in ACC mode. If the steering wheel does not unlock, you can release the tension by turning the steering wheel left or right while pressing the engine start/stop button. 5. Starting the engine under special circumstances: If the brake light fuse is blown, the engine usually cannot be started. In this case, you can hold the engine start/stop button for 10 seconds in ACC mode to start the engine.
