When removing the tire, avoid touching the valve stem and the tire pressure monitoring sensor to ensure safe disassembly. Below is relevant information about tires with tire pressure monitoring: Tire Pressure Monitoring Module: This is a real-time monitoring and data transmission system installed on the tire to measure tire pressure and temperature, along with its internal structure. Tire Pressure Monitoring System: A simpler tire pressure monitoring system utilizes the existing ABS sensing function to compare the rotation counts of the tires. Purpose of Tire Pressure Monitoring System: To compare the rotation counts of the tires using sensing functions. TPMS Sensor: The sensor is extremely small, lightweight, and requires high functionality, hence it can only be designed and manufactured using MEMS technology.

In my years of automotive repair experience, handling tire removal and installation with TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) requires extra caution. The specific steps include: First, ensure the vehicle is parked on level ground with the parking brake engaged, then use a jack to slowly lift the vehicle to avoid sudden movements that could damage the sensor. When removing the tire, carefully loosen the nuts with professional tire tools, being cautious not to touch the sensor on the valve stem—it's typically an electronic device integrated inside the wheel hub. After installing the new tire, gently tap and confirm the sensor hasn't shifted, as misalignment may cause false system alerts. I recommend recalibrating the monitoring system afterward, either via the car key or dashboard menu, to prevent inaccurate readings that could compromise safety. Wear protective gloves during the process to reduce static risks, and consider having an assistant to improve efficiency. Why such caution? Because once the sensor is damaged, replacement can cost hundreds and affect driving safety. Regularly checking tire airtightness during maintenance can prevent these issues and extend the device's lifespan.

Why does a dry dual-clutch transmission make a clunking noise at low speeds?

Dry dual-clutch transmission makes clunking noise at low speeds due to its inherent structural design or issues with power tuning. Below is an introduction to the clunking noise of dry dual-clutch transmissions at low speeds: 1. Inherent structural design of dry dual-clutch transmissions: A dual-clutch transmission is equipped with two clutches, each independently connected to a set of gears, controlling odd and even gears respectively. When the hydraulic servo system of the clutch or the transmission computer cannot accurately control the separation and engagement of the gears, abnormal noises and jerks occur. 2. Issues with power tuning: To optimize the user experience of dual-clutch transmissions, engineers also tune the matching between the transmission and the engine. The level of tuning by the engineers directly affects the smoothness of the vehicle's driving. However, optimizing the smoothness of the powertrain is a more complex engineering task than imagined, and domestic manufacturers relatively lack tuning expertise and experimental technology accumulation. Therefore, most domestic brands entrust foreign suppliers to tune the powertrain, but the levels vary. Jerks and abnormal noises often result from tuning issues.

Can You Change a Spare Tire on the Highway?

You can change a spare tire on the highway, but it must be done in the emergency stopping lane with warning signs set up. Here are the precautions for changing a spare tire on the highway: 1. When parking: If the vehicle breaks down and must stop, immediately pull over to the right hard shoulder or emergency stopping lane and turn on the hazard warning lights. If it's nighttime, don't forget to turn on the side marker lights and tail lights. 2. Set up warning signs: Set up warning signs, commonly known as triangle warning signs. They are usually stored in three places in the car: the trunk, the inside of the trunk lid, or under the trunk cover. Take the warning sign, face the reflective side outward, walk in the direction of oncoming traffic, and place it 150 meters away in the corresponding lane. 3. Evacuate: Immediately move to the outside of the right guardrail and call the national highway emergency rescue number 12122 for assistance.

How to Deal with Frozen Car Tires?

First, remove the ice chips attached to the surface of the frozen car tires, then start the car. However, do not press the accelerator to move forward directly; instead, try to move the vehicle by engaging the clutch at idle speed. If the tires are severely frozen, it's best to let them thaw slowly on their own. Do not use boiling water to thaw frozen tires, as it can cause damage. The sudden temperature change from hot to cold can harm the rubber surface of the tires and reduce their lifespan. During snowy winter days, try to park the car in a garage whenever possible. If that's not feasible, avoid parking on puddles or icy surfaces on the road. In winter, it's essential to maintain your car properly to prevent damage. When washing your car in winter, it's best to use warm water instead of cold water directly. Especially after the engine has warmed up, washing with cold water can cause rapid cooling, leading to cracks in the paint on the hood. Additionally, after washing, promptly open the car doors to dry any water traces to prevent water from freezing in the door gaps and locking the doors. In winter, when temperatures are very low, ensure timely inspection and replacement of antifreeze to prevent it from freezing and expanding, which could cause the engine to fail. Car owners should replace antifreeze regularly and choose a standard antifreeze product with a freezing point 5-10 degrees Celsius lower than the lowest temperature in their region, replacing it at least every two years.
