Method for viewing car tire model numbers: The tire model number is printed on the sidewall of the tire. Upon close inspection, you can see markings such as P215/65R1589H: P indicates a passenger car tire; 215 refers to the tire's section width, which is the distance between the two sidewalls (measured in millimeters); 65 is the tire's aspect ratio, representing the ratio of height to width; R denotes the tire's structure, indicating it is a radial tire; 15 signifies the rim diameter in inches. Car tires are one of the essential components of a vehicle, directly in contact with the road surface. Together with the car's suspension system, they help absorb shocks encountered during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving performance.

How to Adjust Unequal Wheelbase on Both Sides?

Unequal wheelbase on both sides indicates that the front and rear axles are not parallel, which can cause the vehicle to deviate during driving, accelerate tire wear, and even lead to deformation of the frame and suspension. For regular motors, first measure whether the voltage of the vehicle is normal and check if the two motors are of the same model to determine if there is an issue with the motor. For servo motors or stepper motors, it is necessary to adjust the pulse count of the controller.

How to proceed when there is a broken-down vehicle in the left-turn lane?

Observe the surrounding traffic to ensure driving safety. When it is safe to do so, change lanes and use the adjacent lane for passage. This is not considered a traffic violation. After overtaking by using the adjacent lane, return to the original lane when it is safe to do so.

How to turn off the continuously flashing left and right turn signals?

Under the steering wheel, there is a turn signal switch. Pushing it downward activates the left turn signal, while pushing it upward activates the right turn signal. Setting it to the middle position turns it off. On the left side of the steering wheel, there is a light control lever. Pushing it upward turns on the left turn signal, while pushing it downward activates the right turn signal. However, with advancements in automotive technology, many cars now feature a 'one-touch three-flash' quick-turn function on the hazard light switch. The driver only needs to lightly 'tap' the lever, and the turn signal will flash three times before turning off automatically.
