Method to check the production date of Michelin tires: Locate the DOT marking on the sidewall of the tire. The last four digits following this marking represent the production date of the Michelin tire. The first two digits indicate the week of production within the year, and the last two digits indicate the production year. Below is an introduction to the functions of car tires: 1. Support the entire weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, and transmit forces and moments in other directions. 2. Transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface to improve the vehicle's power performance, braking performance, and passability; work together with the car suspension to mitigate impacts during driving and dampen the resulting vibrations. 3. Prevent severe vibrations and early damage to car components, adapt to the vehicle's high-speed performance, reduce driving noise, and ensure driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy efficiency.

At what temperature can summer windshield washer fluid freeze?

Below minus forty degrees Celsius. Related information: 1. Temperature conditions: Winter windshield washer fluid remains unfrozen even at temperatures as low as minus twenty to thirty degrees or even minus forty degrees. In northern regions, when nighttime temperatures approach 0 degrees Celsius before winter, it's time to promptly switch to winter windshield washer fluid. When summer arrives, simply use up the remaining winter fluid and directly add summer windshield washer fluid. Windshield washer fluid can deteriorate over time during storage, so don't hesitate to use it. 2. Precautions: Never use tap water to refill windshield washer fluid, as it contains numerous impurities that can accumulate in rubber hoses over time, affecting normal spray function. Most windshield washer fluids don't require dilution. When the windshield surface appears blurry, cleaning with appropriate washer fluid can significantly improve clarity. If you notice glare issues on the glass at night, wiping with washer fluid can help. Additionally, during highway driving or in dusty conditions, washer fluid consumption increases rapidly, so remember to replenish it promptly.

The Difference Between Tire Air Migration and Air Leakage

The difference between tire air migration and air leakage lies in: tire air migration refers to a situation where the air leakage point on the tire cannot be found inside the tire, which is a type of tire air leakage, while tire air leakage simply means the gas inside the tire is leaking. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Air migration: This occurs when the air leakage point on the outer tire cannot be located inside the tire, meaning the air escapes to another place. 2. Air leakage: Car tire air leakage can be due to the tire being punctured or the car being left unused for a long time, as when the car is frequently driven, the tire is in motion, ensuring a complete seal between the tire and the rim. 3. Curing: If the car is left unused for a long time, the tire and rim may undergo curing, leading to slow air leakage.

What is the working principle of maglev cars?

Cars inject fuel through the ECU, and the high-voltage coil generates high-voltage electricity to supply the spark plug. The mixture of gasoline and air is then ignited by the spark plug's electrical explosion, which in turn pushes the spark plug to ignite, explode, and generate power. This power is transmitted to the belt, driving the wheels to rotate. The types and basic structure of cars are introduced as follows: Types of cars: Cars are specifically divided into micro cars, small cars, compact cars, mid-size cars, large mid-size cars, and luxury cars. The comfort and spaciousness vary depending on the level and price. Consumers can choose the appropriate car based on their financial situation and needs. Basic structure of cars: Cars are generally composed of four parts: the engine, chassis, body, and electrical equipment.

How to Exchange a Car at a 4S Shop?

Exchanging for a new car at a 4S shop is very simple. Prepare the necessary documents, find a 4S shop, and explain your intention to them. The 4S shop will be responsible for evaluating the price. After negotiation between the car owner and the 4S shop, the 4S shop will purchase the old car and sell the new car to the owner. Below are the advantages of a 4S shop: 1. Professionalism: Since a 4S shop only deals with a series of models from one manufacturer, it receives specialized training and technical support from the manufacturer. This makes them highly professional in terms of car performance, technical parameters, usage, and maintenance, achieving the goal of 'specialization and excellence.' 2. After-sales service guarantee: 4S shops focus on building their service brand, with the backing of the car manufacturer. Therefore, they can provide guaranteed after-sales service, eliminating any concerns for car owners.

How Often Should a Vehicle Be Inspected?

For vehicles under 5 years old, an annual inspection is required; for those over 5 years old, inspections are required every 6 months. Below is relevant information about vehicle inspections: 1. Inspection Locations: Embassies/consulates and foreign-licensed vehicles should go to the Vehicle Management Office, while other vehicles should go to the branch office corresponding to the address listed on the owner's identification. The Vehicle Management Office or branch will process the inspection within one working day from the date of application, free of charge. 2. Address Requirements: For organizations, the address is as listed on their identification; for individuals, it is the declared residential address. 3. Procedures for Replacing an Inspection Sticker and Required Documents: If the inspection sticker is damaged, lost, or destroyed during its valid period, the vehicle owner must submit the following documents to apply for a replacement: (1) Vehicle registration certificate. (2) If the inspection sticker is damaged, the damaged sticker must also be surrendered.

Where is the Car Thermostat Located?

The car thermostat is installed at the upper water outlet of the engine. The thermostat must maintain good technical condition; otherwise, it will severely affect the normal operation of the engine. If the main valve of the thermostat opens too late, it will cause the engine to overheat. If the main valve opens too early, the engine's warm-up time will be too short, resulting in the engine temperature being too low. Related information: The thermostat automatically adjusts the amount of water entering the radiator based on the coolant temperature to ensure the engine operates within the appropriate temperature range, which can help save energy. This is because the engine consumes more fuel at low temperatures and can cause significant damage to the vehicle, including the formation of carbon deposits and a series of related issues. Under normal circumstances, when the engine starts cold, the operating temperature is very low. To allow the temperature to rise quickly, the thermostat controls the flow (with the main valve closed), directing the coolant from the pump into the water distribution pipe, bypassing the radiator—this is known as the small circulation. When the coolant temperature reaches 87 degrees, the thermostat valve opens, and the coolant begins to flow through the radiator and the cooling system. Generally, about five minutes after a cold start, the coolant temperature should reach the normal range of 85-105 degrees. If it takes a long time to reach the normal operating temperature or the temperature rises rapidly beyond 110 degrees, it may indicate a thermostat malfunction.
