How Often Should You Start a Parked Car?

A parked car should be started at least once every fifteen days. Prolonged parking may lead to battery discharge, inability to start, and tire deformation. Various fluids may also oxidize and deteriorate, so it is recommended to start the vehicle at least every fifteen days and run it for over half an hour. It is best to move the car or drive a short distance. When a car remains unused for an extended period, most of the lubricating oil adhering to the components that require lubrication will flow back to the oil pan due to gravity, reducing lubrication in moving parts. Metal parts, without the protection of an oil film, are prone to react with oxygen to form an oxide layer, increasing friction and making it difficult to start. If the battery does not receive a charge for a long time, the sulfation process of the battery plates will accelerate, increasing internal resistance and reducing battery lifespan.

What Causes the Car Tire Pressure Monitoring Alarm to Trigger?

The reasons for the car tire pressure monitoring alarm are: 1. Abnormal tire pressure; 2. Malfunction of the tire pressure monitoring system. The functions of tire pressure monitoring are: 1. Timely alert in case of rapid or slow air leakage when the tire is punctured; 2. Alarm activation when tire looseness causes unbalanced friction, leading to high tire temperatures reaching 70 degrees Celsius to prevent blowouts; 3. Warning when tire pressure falls below the vehicle's preset limit due to prolonged lack of inflation, preventing low pressure-induced temperature rise and blowouts. The method to reset the tire pressure monitoring is: 1. Ensure the vehicle's tire pressure is within the normal range; 2. Park the vehicle on a level surface and turn off the engine; 3. Power on the vehicle, press and hold the tire pressure monitoring button for 5 seconds until an alarm sounds, then release the button to complete the reset.
