Sponge, cloth, hammer, sandpaper, spray paint, gloves. First, pad the dented area with a sponge or cloth, then use a hammer to forcefully flatten the dented part, and use body filler (putty) to smooth it out. Place it in the sun to let the putty dry thoroughly. The next steps are similar to car spray painting—spray the entire rim. If the rim has minor deformation, perform a wheel balance for the car. Add lead weights according to the degree of deformation to achieve a smooth rotation of the tire. If the tire is severely damaged, it needs to be replaced.

What is the fuel consumption of the 2021 Cruze four-cylinder?

2021 Cruze four-cylinder has 1 model on sale. The 2021 320 Auto Enjoy Sunroof version equipped with a 113-horsepower engine has an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.9L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity of different models of the 2021 Cruze four-cylinder varies. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: For the model equipped with a 113-horsepower engine, the fuel tank capacity is 44L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is 44/5.9*100=746KM. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block temperature is low, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine computer controls the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.

What speed is safe for driving on rough roads without damaging the car?

Driving on rough roads at speeds below 40km/h will not damage the car. Here are some precautions for driving on rough roads: 1. Do not follow too closely: Since speeds are generally higher on mildly rough roads, the rear wheels of the vehicle ahead can easily kick up stones and rocks, which may come flying toward your car. If you follow too closely, you might suddenly encounter a shower of stones, which could chip the paint or, in severe cases, cause the driver to panic and lose control, leading to greater danger. Additionally, driving on mildly rough roads tends to stir up dust. If you follow too closely and at high speed, when the vehicle ahead passes through a dusty area, it will kick up dust, enveloping your car like a sudden thick fog (dust). The dangers of this situation are self-evident. 2. Dealing with skidding: The primary cause of skidding is sudden braking. On gravel or sandy roads, due to the unstable surface, tire friction efficiency decreases, reducing traction. During sudden braking, tires often lock up, and even ABS may not be very effective. If the speed is too high and an emergency arises, it can be difficult to control the speed with just one brake application. Therefore, when driving on such roads, the first priority is to control your speed. 3. Handling sudden road conditions: The specific procedure is to first grip the steering wheel with your left hand and turn it to the right, releasing your right hand. When your left hand touches your right hand, pass the steering wheel to your right hand, which continues to turn the wheel downward. When your left hand reaches the lowest position, grip the steering wheel again to begin the next rotation, while your right hand moves to the highest position, ready to take over. Repeat this process. This technique is often used by WRC drivers to accurately and quickly change wheel direction. Ordinary car owners can also practice this during daily driving—it might prove crucial in an emergency.

What is the fuel consumption of the G-Class?

The G-Class currently has 3 models on sale. Among them, the 2022 G350 with a 258 horsepower engine has an NEDC fuel consumption of 8.1L per 100km. The 2022 G500 and 2021 G500 Flame Special Edition, both equipped with a 421 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.9L per 100km. Different G-Class models have varying fuel tank capacities. The distance that can be covered on a full tank is as follows: For models with a 258 horsepower engine and a 100L fuel tank, the distance is 100/8.1*100=1235KM. For models with a 421 horsepower engine and a 100L fuel tank, the distance is 100/5.9*100=1695KM. Vehicle fuel consumption is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that increase fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light can increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power output, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles also consume more fuel due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on unpaved roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Headwinds or driving on windy days increase vehicle resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, in low temperatures, the engine control unit may increase idle speed to warm up the engine, further increasing fuel consumption.
