Tire pressure of 2.6 bar is suitable for highway driving. For household cars, maintaining tire pressure between 2.3 bar and 2.5 bar is normal for highway driving, but this is only a theoretical value. The specific tire pressure should be determined based on the car's usage conditions. Additional information: 1. Car tires are a very important part of the driving process, being the only component in contact with the ground. During driving, it is essential to regularly check the condition of the tires. With the continuous development of automotive production technology, cars are now equipped with tire pressure monitoring or warning functions. While driving, the working status of the tires can be observed at any time through the car's dashboard. 2. Under normal driving conditions, both high and low tire pressure can affect the car's performance. Excessive tire pressure wears out the middle part of the tread, while insufficient tire pressure causes wear on both sides of the tire. Therefore, only by maintaining an appropriate tire pressure range can the tires wear evenly and function properly.

I think the tire pressure of 2.6 is a bit high, which might pose a risk on the highway. I often drive on highways, and when the tire pressure is too high, it's prone to overheating, especially in summer when the road surface is hot, significantly increasing the risk of a blowout. Normal car tire pressure is usually between 2.2 and 2.5 bar. Your high tire pressure can cause faster wear in the center of the tire, reduced grip, and instability when cornering or braking hard. Additionally, high tire pressure makes driving less comfortable, with poor cushioning over bumps and noticeable vibrations in the car. Personally, I suggest not taking the risk—adjust the tire pressure to the standard value before hitting the highway, which can save a lot of hassle. Also, check for any cuts or aging on the tires, as these small details can magnify hazards at high speeds. Taking a few minutes to check the tire pressure before a long trip can prevent major issues.

Are Cars Afraid of Getting Wet in the Rain?

Cars are not afraid of getting wet in the rain. The only part that might get damaged by rain is the car paint. Although current environmental pollution is severe, and rainwater contains some acidic substances that can cause certain damage to the car paint, this damage is completely negligible. However, water ingress is a different story. Below are specific explanations for different water ingress situations: 1. Minor water ingress: If a small amount of rainwater splashes in, it will not affect the car's wiring system or mechanical system. The wiring system is protected by covers, and you only need to clean and dry the wet items. 2. Severe water ingress: Rainwater may enter the cabin, potentially causing malfunctions in electronic devices or rusting some components inside the cabin. Moreover, the passenger seat is close to the dashboard, and rainwater is likely to wet electronic devices when entering the car. Even if the electronic devices are not damaged, the passenger seat, floor mats, and other interior parts may still get soaked.

Will the Electronic Parking Brake Light Stay On?

Electronic parking brake light does not stay on. It only lights up when the brake is engaged and turns off when released. Additional Information: There are generally two reasons why the parking brake light stays on, as detailed below: 1. Parking Brake Light Switch: This switch is responsible for turning the parking brake indicator light off when the brake is released and on when engaged. If you disassemble the parking brake assembly, you will find a white switch—this is the parking brake light switch. Essentially, it functions as a grounding wire: it grounds when the brake is engaged and disconnects when released. If the switch is faulty or the wiring is damaged, the parking brake light may stay on. 2. Issues with Brake Fluid: This can be divided into three scenarios: 1) Insufficient or no brake fluid: In this case, the parking brake light will stay on. If the vehicle's brake fluid is within the standard range, this issue can be ruled out. 2) Faulty sensor in the brake fluid reservoir: This sensor monitors the condition of the brake fluid and alerts the driver via the brake indicator light if any issues are detected. 3) Problem with the brake fluid sensor connector: If this connector short-circuits, the brake indicator light will also stay on.

Why is it necessary to reach 60 km/h quickly when entering the highway?

Quickly increase your speed to above 60 km/h to avoid affecting vehicles traveling on the main lane when merging into traffic. Carefully observe the driving conditions of vehicles on the travel lane, choose the right moment to enter the travel lane, and avoid emergency braking or stopping in the acceleration lane. Below are some precautions for highway driving: 1. Regarding speed: (1) For novice drivers who feel unsure, the recommended speed on the highway is generally between 80~100 km/h, with 90 km/h being ideal. (2) When exiting the highway and entering the ramp, apply the brakes twice—first, when you see the 500-meter exit sign, reduce speed to 60~70 km/h; second, when entering the ramp, reduce speed to 40 km/h. 2. Regarding driving and lane changes: (1) Novice drivers on the highway should keep the left turn signal on (do not use hazard lights) and, if no issues arise, stay in the leftmost lane (the passing lane), ignoring honking or flashing lights from vehicles behind. (2) Generally, lane changes or merging are unnecessary. Let others overtake from the right, and overtake others directly. If encountering slower vehicles occupying the fast lane, change lanes and overtake from the right.

What Causes the EA390 Engine to Burn Engine Oil?

The EA390 engine burning engine oil is caused by worn or aged valve stem seals and excessive piston clearance. Below is relevant information about engine oil burning: 1. Symptoms of engine oil burning: Blue smoke from the exhaust pipe when starting the engine or during normal operation, while no pulsing blue smoke is observed at the engine oil filler port, or blue smoke from the exhaust pipe accompanied by pulsing blue smoke from the oil filler port. 2. Solutions for engine oil burning: Cold engine oil burning: When the car's temperature has not fully warmed up, the engine exhaust emits significant blue smoke, but returns to normal after warming up. This phenomenon is caused by aging valve stem seals. Replacing the valve stem seals can resolve the issue. If the engine burns oil when hot and the condition is not severe (for safety, a cylinder pressure test can be performed first), the oil pan can be removed directly, the pistons taken out, and the piston rings replaced.

What Causes the Motorcycle's Low Beam Not to Work While the High Beam Does?

There are several reasons why the low beam does not work while the high beam does: One possibility is that the low beam fuse is blown. You need to open the car's fuse box and check if the low beam fuse is intact. If it's blown, simply replace it with a new one. Another possibility is that the filament is broken. Most cars have separate bulbs for high and low beams. If the high beam works but one low beam doesn't, it may be due to a broken low beam filament, and replacing the bulb should solve the issue. More details are as follows: 1. The role of car headlights: The quality of car headlights is crucial for driving safety, as they are an important guarantee for safe nighttime driving. To enhance nighttime driving safety, it's essential to improve the lighting effect of the headlights—more brightness means more safety. 2. How to handle damaged headlights: If a car's headlight malfunctions and doesn't work, it poses a significant safety hazard during nighttime driving, requiring immediate inspection and repair. It's recommended to visit a professional repair shop or a 4S store for service. When replacing bulbs, use high-quality products for better reliability.
