How to Reset the Peugeot 4008 Tire Pressure Monitoring System?

There are two methods to reset the tire pressure monitoring system: 1. The tire pressure monitoring system continuously monitors the air pressure of all four tires while driving. It compares the calibrated tire pressure values with data from the wheel speed sensors. If it detects low pressure in any tire, it triggers an alert. After adjusting tire pressure or replacing tires, you must recalibrate the system to reinitialize it. 2. When checking tire pressure, always do so when the tires are cold (after the vehicle has been stationary for at least one hour or driven at low speed for no more than 10 km). Otherwise, the measured pressure will be approximately 0.3 bar higher than the recommended value on the label. When the system detects low tire pressure, it will illuminate the warning light, sound an audible alert, and display a message on the touchscreen or instrument cluster. In this situation, you should: – Reduce speed gradually – Avoid sudden braking or sharp steering maneuvers – Stop the vehicle as soon as it's safe to do so

Does Humidity in Underground Parking Lots Affect Vehicles?

Humidity in underground parking lots does affect vehicles. Here are specific explanations regarding the impact of humidity in underground parking lots on vehicles: 1. Solutions: Manual intervention using dehumidifiers is necessary. For humidity occurring during later usage of underground parking lots, manual intervention is required, one of which is using dehumidifiers. The number of dehumidifiers should be determined based on the usage area of the underground parking lot to ensure their dehumidification efficiency functions properly; enhancing ventilation to reduce humidity. At the same time, utilize the entrance and exit passages of underground parking lots to improve air circulation, thereby reducing humidity levels. 2. Hazards: Corrosion of the chassis, as metal oxidation speeds up in humid environments. The failure rate of chassis components will increase; moisture and mold inside the vehicle. Prolonged parking in underground garages makes the interior more prone to moisture and mold, especially in rainy southern regions, affecting the health of occupants. Additionally, metal parts such as door hinges, locks, and welded sections of the vehicle body are more susceptible to rust and corrosion; breeding bacteria and aging paint. After summer rains, due to factors like temperature and lack of sunlight in underground parking lots, the vehicle interior can easily breed various bacteria, making regular dehumidification and sterilization of the interior space particularly important. Moreover, humidity also affects the vehicle's paint, as it can easily lead to paint aging and discoloration.

What is the engine model of the Skoda Kodiaq?

Skoda Kodiaq's engine model is the EA888. On urban roads, this engine delivers strong torque performance, with maximum torque available below 2,000 rpm, making acceleration and overtaking effortless. Even in the mid-to-late stages, it continues to provide a strong sense of push. Below is some information about the Skoda Kodiaq: (1) The Kodiaq is only available in a 2.0T displacement, but this 2.0T comes in high and low power versions. The 330 low-power version is only available in front-wheel drive, while the 380 high-power version is exclusively all-wheel drive. It is believed that the 330 low-power version will be the main model. (2) When driving in normal mode, the turbo lag of this 2.0T low-power engine is quite noticeable. There is no power feedback in the initial phase of pressing the accelerator, and power only comes after pressing deeper. However, the power delivery is not too abrupt, ensuring vehicle comfort. (3) The Kodiaq is equipped with the third-generation EA888 series turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 162 kW and a maximum torque of 350 N•m, paired with a 7-speed wet DSG dual-clutch transmission across the entire lineup.

What is the Suitable Tire Pressure in Winter?

In winter, the tire pressure should be adjusted based on the standard tire pressure of the car, with an appropriate increase of about 0.2bar. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the recommended tire pressures for different types of tires are as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5bar. Other factors affecting tire pressure: Empty/Half-load: Follow the lower limit of the standard tire pressure (the tire pressure indicated on the vehicle sticker can serve as a reference for the minimum tire pressure). Full-load: Under full load, follow the upper limit of the standard tire pressure (the maximum tire pressure indicated on the tire can serve as a reference for the theoretical maximum tire pressure). Hot tires: The pressure differs between cold and hot tires, so measurements should be taken carefully. The difference is approximately 0.3bar. Cold tires: Measure after the car has been parked for at least three hours or if the tires have not been driven more than 2km. If you can only measure the tire pressure when the tires are hot, subtract approximately 0.2bar from the measured value to get the cooled tire inflation pressure.

Why Is There Loud Noise During Engine Acceleration?

Engine acceleration noise can be caused by aging or loose engine mounts, improper oil quality, or carbon buildup in the engine. The specific reasons are as follows: Aging or Loose Engine Mounts: Engine mounts are rubber blocks placed between the engine and the vehicle frame. Their purpose is to reduce vibrations and absorb shocks during engine operation, while also securing the engine in place. If these mounts become aged or loose, the engine may vibrate, producing louder noises as speed increases. The solution is to tighten or replace the engine mounts. Improper Oil Quality: If the oil viscosity is too low, it can lead to insufficient lubrication, causing wear on engine components and abnormal noises. Conversely, if the oil viscosity is too high, it can increase engine load, also resulting in noise. The solution is to use the oil grade specified in the vehicle manual and avoid mixing different brands of oil. Engine Carbon Buildup: Excessive carbon buildup inside the engine can affect ignition energy, air intake efficiency, and the air-fuel mixture ratio, leading to unstable power output. This can cause vibrations during idling and acceleration, with noise subsequently entering the cabin. The solution is to visit a 4S shop for targeted engine cleaning to remove carbon deposits.

What are the pros and cons of installing ETC?

The advantages of installing ETC are time-saving, eco-friendliness, reduced wear and tear, and improved efficiency; the disadvantages are limited usability, relatively single functionality, and cumbersome application procedures. ETC usage precautions: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. When encountering a stationary vehicle ahead, maintain a distance of over 10 meters to prevent automatic fee deduction for the preceding vehicle in case its ETC device malfunctions or is absent. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20km/h. Excessive speed may prevent reading vehicle device information, leading to failed fee deductions. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, detachment or loosening of the ETC electronic tag may render the tag invalid. It can be taken to the bank where the ETC card was issued or the highway service office for inspection. For non-deliberate loosening or detachment, reactivation is sufficient. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may cause fee deduction failure. Follow on-site staff guidance to use the manual MTC lane with cash or card payment. Excessively thick car windshields may cause poor signal reception. This is particularly relevant for vehicles that have had windshield replacements after accidents or modifications to the front windshield.
