Car tires are normally replaced every 3 to 5 years, but it mainly depends on the condition of the tires. Generally, tires need to be replaced when fine cracks appear on the tire sidewalls, when the treads fall off, or when there are more than three patches on a tire. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery for rolling on the ground. They are usually installed on metal rims to support the vehicle body, cushion external impacts, ensure contact with the road surface, and maintain the vehicle's driving performance. Tires are often used under complex and harsh conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high or low temperatures during operation. Therefore, they must have high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and cushioning properties.

What does it mean when the subject 4 reservation is still under processing?

When the subject 4 reservation is still under processing, it means there are too many applicants for the subject 4 exam, so it is currently queuing for processing and will continue to show as under processing. Methods for reserving subject 4: There are two methods to reserve subject 4. The first is to reserve it together with subject 3. After completing subject 3, you can take the subject 4 exam on the same day. In some regions, you can directly take the exam within 7 days after completing subject 3 without needing to reserve. The second method is to reserve subject 4 separately, following the same procedure as other exam subjects, by operating on the 12123 APP. Make sure to select "Subject 3 Safety and Civilization Knowledge Test" as the exam subject. Tips for reserving subject 4: Choosing the "System Allocation Mode" can to some extent improve the success rate of reservation, but the exam session and time will not be fixed. Content and format of the subject 4 exam: The main assessment content includes safe and civilized driving operation requirements, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge. The exam consists of 50 questions, primarily in the form of case studies, images, animations, etc. The question types include true/false questions, single-choice questions, and multiple-choice questions. The full score is 100, with a passing score of 90.

What does 8t mean?

T stands for Turbo, which means turbocharging. A turbocharger is essentially an air compressor that utilizes the exhaust gases from the engine as power to drive the turbine in the turbine housing (located in the exhaust passage). The turbine, in turn, drives the coaxial impeller (located in the intake passage), which compresses the fresh air delivered by the air filter pipeline and then sends it into the cylinders. Expansion: When the engine speed increases, the exhaust gas discharge speed and turbine speed also increase simultaneously, thereby enhancing the degree of air compression. Consequently, the engine's air intake increases accordingly, allowing for an increase in the engine's output power. The greatest advantage of turbocharging is that it can significantly boost the engine's power without increasing the engine displacement.

Are Tires Afraid of Sun Exposure?

Tires are afraid of sun exposure. Tires have rubber seals, and prolonged exposure to the sun can cause these rubber seals to age. If tires are exposed to the sun for a long time, there is a high likelihood of a blowout. Most tires today are of good quality, but it is still important to avoid prolonged sun exposure. Here are some methods to protect your car from sun exposure: 1. Apply window film. Car window film not only provides heat insulation and blocks UV rays but also filters out most visible light, acting like sunglasses to make driving in the scorching sun more comfortable for your body and eyes. 2. Apply paint protection. Under prolonged sun exposure, the car's paint may appear unchanged to the naked eye. Applying a polymer-based paint care product containing UV reflectants can create a protective layer against sun damage.

What is the difference between walnut shell blasting and dry ice cleaning?

Differences between walnut shell blasting and dry ice cleaning: 1. Walnut shell blasting: Walnut shell blasting for engine carbon deposits: It can only clean the surface of the engine, not the inside of the engine cylinders, and walnut shells can easily clog the intake valves. Walnut shells have a certain abrasive property, which can cause wear to the engine and affect its performance. 2. Dry ice cleaning: No technical requirements for cleaning personnel. It saves cleaning costs because the purchase cost of dry ice is low, and the power-consuming air compressor also saves on electricity bills. There is no need for secondary processing costs. Using dry ice to clean the engine can extend its service life. The difference between dry ice cleaning and walnut shell blasting is that dry ice is relatively softer.

What is a Drum Brake?

Drum brake refers to a braking device that utilizes stationary brake shoes inside the brake drum to create friction against the rotating drum attached to the wheel, thereby reducing the wheel's rotational speed. When the brake pedal is pressed, the force applied by the foot pushes the piston in the master cylinder forward, generating pressure in the hydraulic system. Advantages of Drum Brakes in Automobiles: Drum brakes have excellent self-braking properties. As the brake shoes expand outward, the rotating wheel causes the expanding brake drum to twist at an angle during braking—the greater the outward expansion, the more pronounced this effect. Therefore, drum brakes are still commonly used in large vehicles, primarily due to their lower cost. The main difference between drum brakes in large and small vehicles is that large vehicles typically use pneumatic assistance, while small vehicles use vacuum assistance to aid braking. Drum brake manufacturing technology is relatively basic, being the earliest type used in braking systems, making production costs lower than disc brakes. Additionally, the installation of handbrake mechanisms is easier. Some models with rear disc brakes may even incorporate a drum-style handbrake mechanism at the center of the brake disc. Disadvantages of Drum Brakes in Automobiles: The brake drum of a drum brake expands in diameter when heated, increasing the travel distance of the brake pedal and potentially leading to less responsive braking than expected. Therefore, when driving a vehicle with drum brakes, it is advisable to avoid continuous braking to prevent heat fade caused by high temperatures on the brake shoes. The braking system reacts relatively slowly, and the pedal force is harder to control precisely, making it unsuitable for high-frequency braking. The complex construction with numerous components requires adjustment of brake clearance, complicating maintenance.

Where are the car headlights and how to turn them on?

Turning on the car headlights can be achieved by simply rotating the headlight switch of the vehicle. Here are the specific details about car headlights: 1. Switch location: The car light switch is mostly integrated into the lever-type switch on the left side of the steering wheel, although there are exceptions, with some models featuring a rotary knob-style switch. By twisting or moving the switch to the designated position, the corresponding exterior lights will illuminate, and the dashboard will display the corresponding indicator. 2. Car headlights: By turning the light switch to the low beam position, the low beams will light up. For daily driving, turning on the low beams is sufficient to meet the needs. However, there are special cases. If there are no street lights on the roadside or the road is straight and distant with poor visibility, please use the high beams.
