Tire pressure markings are generally located on the sidewall of the tire. These markings typically indicate the maximum load capacity of a single tire and the maximum safe inflation pressure under normal conditions. For example, if the sidewall reads 'MAX.PRESS.350kPa,' it means the maximum safe inflation pressure for that tire under normal conditions is 350 kPa. 'MAX.Load615KG' indicates that the maximum load capacity for a single tire is 615 kg. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light: The TPMS indicator is a yellow symbol resembling an irregular circle with no top seal, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside. When this light illuminates, it indicates abnormal tire pressure. Abnormal tire pressure is generally caused by one of the following three reasons: Abnormal tire pressure, TPMS not reset, or a damaged tire pressure sensor.

Will speeding through a speed camera always be captured?

Speeding through a speed camera will always be captured. However, it does not necessarily result in penalty points or fines, as some speed cameras only measure speed and are not integrated into the violation system. Principle of speed detection and capture: Interval speed detection is a common capture system on highways. The principle involves setting up two identical monitoring points along a certain section of the road and calculating the time it takes for a vehicle to pass between these two points. Based on this time, the average speed of the vehicle over that section is determined to assess whether the vehicle has committed a speeding violation. Speeding will be reported: If speeding is detected, the information of the violating vehicle will be displayed on an LED screen. For example, if the total distance of the speed detection section is 120 kilometers and the roadside signs indicate a maximum speed limit of 120 km/h, the prescribed passing time should be 60 minutes. If the time taken is less than 60 minutes, it means the vehicle must have exceeded 120 km/h at some point within that interval, indicating a speeding violation.

What needs to be turned on to activate the car's heater?

To activate the car's heater, you need to turn on the air conditioning, but you should not turn on the A/C switch. The A/C switch is for cooling, and turning it on will switch the system to cooling mode. The air conditioning can adjust temperature: This is the main function of the car's air conditioning system. In summer, the cooling system produces cold air to lower the temperature inside the cabin. In winter, except for large commercial vehicles that use independent combustion heaters for warmth, most other vehicles utilize the car's residual heat for heating. The air conditioning can adjust humidity: Humidity greatly affects the comfort of passengers inside the car. The humidity inside the cabin should generally be maintained between 30% and 70%. Standard car air conditioning systems do not have the function to adjust cabin humidity. Humidity can only be regulated by using ventilation systems or the advanced integrated heating and cooling air conditioners found in luxury vehicles. The air conditioning can adjust airflow: The speed and direction of airflow significantly impact passenger comfort. If the air is blowing directly, the speed should be limited to a certain range when the temperature is appropriate. The airflow speed can be adjusted based on passengers' living environment, age, health condition, and personal preferences for warmth or coolness.

How many kilometers can 40 liters of oil run?

Generally, a small car can travel about 10 to 15 kilometers per liter of oil. On the highway, due to constant speed driving, one liter of oil can travel about 20 to 30 kilometers, which means 40L of oil can run 800 to 1200 kilometers. Actual vehicle fuel consumption: Fuel consumption is determined by the car's displacement, driving environment, and driving habits. For example, a 1.6-liter displacement model consumes about 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers, averaging about 15 kilometers per liter of oil. A 2.4-liter displacement model consumes about 12-13 liters per 100 kilometers, averaging about 8 kilometers per liter of oil. Calculation of actual fuel consumption: If you refuel when the tank's red light comes on, adding a total of 45 liters, then reset the odometer to zero. Start counting from 0 kilometers, and when the red light comes on again for refueling, the car displays a total of 500 kilometers traveled. Then, the actual fuel consumption of this car is 9 liters per 100 kilometers.

Is a Wet Underneath the Chassis Indicative of an Oil Leak?

A wet area underneath the chassis does not necessarily indicate an oil leak. You can determine the nature of the fluid by its texture: if it feels very clear, it's likely water leakage, whereas a lubricative sensation suggests an oil leak. Composition of an Automobile Chassis: The automobile chassis consists of four main systems: the transmission system, running gear, steering system, and braking system. The chassis serves to support and mount the vehicle's engine and its various components and assemblies, shaping the overall structure of the automobile. It also receives power from the engine to enable motion and ensure normal operation. Chassis Maintenance: To maintain the chassis during winter, thorough cleaning and rustproofing are essential. Begin with a comprehensive cleaning of the chassis. If excessive mud or dirt is present, use a degreasing cleaner to reveal the chassis's original condition before applying rustproof treatment. It's crucial to ensure the chassis is completely dry after washing before proceeding with rustproofing. During application, maintain an even spray coating to form a durable, uniform protective layer. Allow 5-10 minutes of natural drying after completion for the rustproofing process to be fully effective.

Can Two-Wheeled Motorcycles Go on the Highway?

Two-wheeled motorcycles can go on the highway, but there are certain conditions and restrictions. Complete documentation and full equipment: The rider must possess a motorcycle driver's license and wear a standard-compliant safety helmet. Carrying passengers is not allowed. Riding a motorcycle on the highway without even the most basic helmet is highly dangerous. Speed requirements: When riding on the highway, motorcycles are only permitted to use the rightmost lane and must not occupy other lanes. The minimum speed must not be below 60km/h, and the maximum speed must not exceed 80km/h. Both driving too slowly and speeding will result in corresponding penalties.

Does a Car Need Water?

A car needs water, but it is better to add antifreeze. Antifreeze has a high boiling point: The boiling point of antifreeze is above 120 degrees Celsius, while water boils at only 100 degrees Celsius. Using antifreeze can prevent your car from "boiling over" in the summer. Water easily forms scale: Using water instead of antifreeze can easily lead to scale formation, requiring frequent replacement, whereas using antifreeze eliminates this concern. Antifreeze prevents corrosion: Water can cause some corrosion to the cooling system, while antifreeze contains additives that prevent corrosion and rust. Therefore, to better protect your family car, never use tap water as a substitute for antifreeze.
