Replaced old tires can be placed back in the original spare tire storage location. If the damage is not significant, they can be repaired and kept as a spare tire or sold to an auto parts market. Before replacing tires, first, park the car in a relatively safe and flat area, then firmly engage the parking brake, shift the gear to the parking position, turn the ignition switch to the "lock" position, activate the hazard lights, and place a triangular warning sign at a sufficient distance from the vehicle. Below are the disposal methods for sold old tires: 1. Tire Retreading: Tire retreading technology involves refurbishing worn or damaged tires through repair processes to restore their usability. 2. Converting Waste Tires into Fuel Using Catalysts: The technology of converting waste tires into fuel involves heating and pressurizing waste tires to extract fuel. However, using simple and cheap equipment for this process can easily cause secondary pollution. 3. Rubber Powder Regeneration from Tires: This technology first uses waste tire rubber powder equipment to crush tires into 20~30 mesh rubber powder, followed by desulfurization treatment to soften the rubber powder into malleable recycled rubber, which can then be reprocessed into various rubber products. If the desulfurization process is not up to standard, it can also lead to pollution. 4. Rubber Powder for Waterproofing and Leak Prevention: Waterproof membranes are mainly used for building leak prevention. Most buildings now undergo waterproofing and leak prevention measures, making this a widespread industry nationwide. The demand for waterproof membranes is enormous, and rubber powder is a key raw material in this technology, as waterproof membranes also fall under modified asphalt.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Borgward BX5?

The fuel tank capacity of the Borgward BX5 is 60 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the Borgward BX5 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Borgward BX5 requires 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 5.8-7.6L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 789-1034 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is the volume from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is still some space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow for fuel expansion when the temperature rises, preventing overflow. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.

What should be noted when following the preceding vehicle for a right turn while driving?

When following the preceding vehicle for a right turn while driving, pay attention to: 1. The vehicle ahead may stop to yield to pedestrians or non-motorized vehicles at the intersection; 2. Pedestrians may suddenly enter the crosswalk; 3. The right side is a non-motorized vehicle lane, and there may be non-motorized vehicles proceeding straight within the blind spot. More precautions for following a vehicle are as follows: 1. Be cautious when overtaking: Since large trucks are wider, following them can be dangerous and obstruct your view. Therefore, many drivers choose to overtake. When overtaking, ensure no other vehicles are attempting to overtake simultaneously. If there are, slow down and wait for them to complete the maneuver before accelerating to overtake. When shifting gears, pay attention to your speed. Speeds on highways are generally high, so accidents can be more severe with lower survival rates. 2. Be careful on slopes: Slopes inherently present challenges, and visibility can be obstructed. When going uphill, you may not see oncoming traffic. Therefore, on slopes, stay alert and watch for potential hazards. Prevent rolling back by using the handbrake when stopping and signal to the vehicle behind. Honk to alert oncoming traffic. When going uphill, you can increase throttle but must control your speed. When going downhill, always reduce speed.

How to reset the tire pressure warning on Volkswagen Golf?

The tire pressure reset button for the Volkswagen Phideon is located on the center console of the dashboard, in front of the gear shift lever, marked with a capital SET. Tire pressure reset is an operation to reset the tire pressure monitoring system after addressing tire pressure faults. Tire pressure reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep" sound before releasing it. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the dashboard warning light will turn off, indicating the completion of the tire pressure reset. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Abnormal tire pressure: The system typically alerts when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are necessary. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure reset is not performed promptly, the system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to light up. A tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve, monitors the tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged during driving, the tire pressure warning light will illuminate. The only solution for a damaged sensor is to replace it with a new one.

Does Replacing the Door Check Require Removing the Door?

Replacing the door check requires removing the door. The process of replacing the door check mainly involves the following steps: 1. Remove the window regulator. 2. Remove the plastic frame of the door handle, pry gently, and be careful with the plastic clips. 3. Remove the screws on all four sides of the door. 4. Remove the door. 5. Remove the speaker inside the door panel. 6. Unscrew the door check and remove it through the speaker hole in the door panel. 7. Install the new door check and reverse the above steps. Additional Information: 1. The function of the door opening limiter is to restrict the degree to which the door can open. On one hand, it limits the maximum opening angle of the door, preventing it from opening too wide. On the other hand, it can keep the door open when needed. 2. There are two classification methods for door opening limiters: (1) According to the method of providing limiting force, they can be classified into rubber spring type, metal spring type, and torsion spring type. (2) According to the type of friction, they can be classified into rolling friction type and sliding friction type.
