Winter tire pressure of 1.8 bar is not safe for normal driving. Due to lower temperatures in winter, it is recommended to increase the tire pressure by 0.1 to 0.2 bar. The normal tire pressure range for winter is between 2.3 and 2.5 bar, so a tire pressure of 1.8 bar is not suitable for normal driving in winter. Higher tire pressure can improve fuel efficiency and make steering lighter, but it also increases the risk of tire blowouts, as even small bumps can cause a tire to burst. On the other hand, low tire pressure increases the contact area with the ground, improving braking performance and grip during turns. However, it can cause the tire sidewalls to deform and accelerate aging, leading to potential safety hazards.

Do You Need to Press the Clutch and Brake When Starting a Manual Transmission Car?

Starting a manual transmission car requires pressing the clutch and brake. For detailed information, please see below: 1.

(2) Completely disconnects the load on the engine output end, allowing the starter motor to operate with minimal load, which helps prolong the starter motor's lifespan. 2. Additional information: Benefits of pressing the brake when starting: It prevents accidents caused by forgetting to press the clutch when starting the car in gear, which could lead to the vehicle surging forward. Pressing the brake when starting in gear can instantly suppress the engine and prevent accidents.

Advantages of Kumho tires: Kumho tires are affordable, durable, and of good quality, often described as "economical, attractive, and reliable." As a mid-to-low-end tire brand, the majority of Kumho tire rim sizes are between 13 and 18 inches, primarily suitable for mid-sized and compact vehicles. They also offer good wear resistance and excellent overload capacity. 2. Disadvantages of Kumho tires: The tread patterns are too dense, with large gaps that easily trap stones, leading to increased fuel consumption. Additionally, Kumho tires do not perform well in noise control, producing significant noise at high speeds and having relatively high fuel consumption. Their grip performance is average.

Can the air conditioning be used without starting the vehicle?

Yes, but it is not recommended. Here are the details: 1. Using air conditioning without starting the vehicle: When the air conditioning is turned on without starting the vehicle, it does not have a cooling function. After using it for a while, the car battery may lose power, making it difficult to start the vehicle. 2. Car air conditioning: When the air conditioning is turned on without starting the vehicle, the air blown out is just natural air from the blower, as the air conditioning compressor is powered by the engine. Here is additional information about car air conditioning: 1. How car air conditioning works: When the vehicle is turned off, the air conditioning compressor naturally does not work, and the blower blows natural air powered by the battery. Therefore, using the air conditioning for a long time without starting the vehicle will drain the battery. 2. Using car air conditioning: When using the car air conditioning, based on the principle that cold air sinks and hot air rises, the correct approach is to point the air vents upward when using the cooling function and downward when using the heating function.
