Methods to distinguish Continental tires: 1. Check the barcode on the tire, located on the tire bead. If it has been scraped off, it indicates the tire was smuggled or obtained through improper channels. 2. For genuine products, Continental is a German brand. If imported to China, there must be a square anti-counterfeiting label, which serves as an ID for sales in the Chinese market. Any imported tire must have this label. 3. Check the DOT code and production date on the tire's front. For example, '2209' means the tire was produced in the 22nd week of 2009. Pay attention to whether the markings are clear.

What are the methods for car maintenance?

Car maintenance methods include turning on the ignition before starting the vehicle and avoiding lugging the engine while driving. The car maintenance methods are as follows: Turn on the ignition before starting the vehicle: Turning on the ignition before starting the car helps maintain normal technical conditions, eliminates potential car issues, prevents accidents and faults, slows down the deterioration process, and extends the usage cycle. Avoid lugging the engine while driving: Lugging the engine while driving can easily cause tire damage, shorten tire lifespan, pose driving hazards, and also reduce the car's lifespan. Reducing lugging while driving helps extend the car's lifespan.

Is it a pity to repaint the bumper over the original paint?

Repainting the bumper is for aesthetic purposes. Although it covers the original paint, it is not a pity. Here are the relevant details: 1. Repainting: Nowadays, car bumpers are made of plastic. In case of bumper damage, whether to repair it or repaint it is entirely up to personal choice, as it will not cause rust or corrosion issues to the vehicle itself. However, most drivers choose to repair it for aesthetic reasons. 2. Bumper: The car bumper is a safety device designed to absorb and mitigate external impacts, protecting the front and rear of the vehicle body. Many years ago, car bumpers were made of steel plates pressed into channel steel, riveted or welded to the frame longitudinal beams, with a significant gap from the body, which looked very unattractive.

What is the difference between Sport Mode and S Gear?

There are two main differences between Sport Mode and S Gear: 1. Sport Mode is a combination of chassis and transmission programming: In high-end models abroad, Sport Mode includes heavier steering, stiffer suspension, and the transmission logic switching to S Gear. However, domestic vehicles lack dynamic chassis systems, so Sport Mode only involves heavier steering and the transmission logic switching to S Gear. 2. Simply engaging S Gear only involves changes in transmission logic, specifically not actively upshifting, not reaching the highest gear, shorter shift times, and reduced throttle lag, etc. Therefore, S Gear is only a part of Sport Mode.

How long can a car generally be driven on the road?

Generally, a car can be driven on the road for 20 years. Here are some relevant introductions about car driving: 1. Annual inspection situation: The policy that cars must be scrapped after 15 years of driving has been abolished. The mandatory scrapping standard is driving up to 600,000 kilometers. That is, as long as the car's mileage does not exceed 600,000 kilometers and it passes the annual inspection, the car can be driven on the road whether it is 20 or 30 years old. 2. Emission situation: As people's car ownership gradually increases, environmental policies have imposed increasingly higher emission requirements on cars. With policy changes, cars that do not meet emission requirements will become yellow-label vehicles that cannot be driven in urban areas and will need to be guided to be scrapped.

Can an automatic transmission coast in neutral?

Automatic transmission vehicles cannot coast in neutral. When driving in D (Drive) gear, it is not possible to directly shift into N (Neutral) gear; the vehicle must come to a complete stop before shifting into N gear. Coasting in neutral with an automatic transmission is not feasible. Shifting into neutral reduces the lubrication effectiveness of the transmission, and prolonged high-speed coasting can accelerate transmission wear. The gears in an automatic transmission include: 1. P (Park) gear: Used when parking, engaging this gear mechanically locks the wheels to prevent rolling; 2. R (Reverse) gear; 3. N (Neutral) gear; 4. D (Drive) gear, also known as the driving gear.
