Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire, and its level plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the vehicle. A tire pressure of 2.9 bar is not normal; the standard tire pressure for regular tires is between 2.4 and 2.5 bar, making 2.9 bar too high. Hazards of Overinflated Tires: Reduced friction and adhesion of the tire, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, lowering driving comfort; accelerates localized wear of the tread pattern in the center, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overstretches the tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. Hazards of Underinflated Tires: Increases friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; increases movement of various tire parts, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; reduces the functionality of cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the bead area and causing abnormal wear; multiplies friction between the tire and the ground, sharply raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may result in a blowout. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator lights up (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no stamp on top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal Tire Pressure: Typically alerts when pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. Immediate tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire Pressure Monitoring Not Reset: After inflating the tires, failing to reset the tire pressure monitoring system means it still records the old data, causing the indicator to light up. Simply reset the tire pressure. Damaged Tire Pressure Sensor: The sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve, monitors tire pressure. If damaged during driving (e.g., by impact), the tire pressure warning light will activate. Damaged sensors must be replaced with new ones.

What size rims can replace 15-inch rims?

15-inch rims can be replaced with the following sizes: 1. Standard 15-inch rims have a wheel width of 6 inches, most suitable for 185mm wide tires, with a maximum width of 195mm for better braking and steering performance. 2. Some 15-inch rims have a width of 7 inches, suitable for 205mm wide tires, with a maximum of 215mm, typically used for track-focused cars for higher performance limits. 3. Wider tires most directly affect car performance, but better tire tread patterns can improve grip by at least 20%.

What Causes Car Shaking When Turning on the AC?

Opening the air conditioning can cause car shaking due to carbon deposits, fuel supply system malfunctions, aging engine mounts, etc. Carbon Deposits: Severe carbon buildup in the engine cylinders can cause blockages. In this case, the owner should promptly clean the carbon deposits. Fuel Supply System Malfunction: If the car's fuel supply system is faulty and the oil pressure is unstable, the owner should promptly inspect and repair the fuel supply system. Aging Engine Mounts: If the engine mounts are aged, the owner should replace them promptly. Functions of Car Air Conditioning: Cooling: Achieves cooling effect through continuous refrigerant circulation. Air Freshening: Removes dust, odors, smoke, and toxic gases from the car's interior, freshens the air, and humidifies the cabin air to increase relative humidity.

Is the display screen on the ETC device in the car lit?

The display screen of an ETC device is usually not lit when not in use. After successful activation of the ETC device, inserting the ETC card will display corresponding vehicle information or the account balance of the ETC card. Some ETC devices will have their corresponding working indicator lights illuminated. Precautions for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. When encountering a vehicle in front that has stopped, to prevent the vehicle in front from having a faulty ETC device or no ETC device at all, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic sensing and payment for the vehicle in front. The speed limit for ETC lane recognition is 20 km/h. If the vehicle speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, which may also result in failed deductions. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, detachment or loosening of the ETC electronic tag, etc., will cause the electronic tag to become invalid. It can be taken to the bank where the ETC card was issued or the highway service office for inspection. If the detachment or loosening is not due to human factors, reactivation is sufficient. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may also result in failed deductions. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to proceed to the manual MTC lane and use cash or card payment for passage. Excessive thickness of the car windshield may cause poor sensing. This is especially important to note for vehicles that have had their windshields replaced after accidents or for those who have modified their front windshields.

What is the emission standard for cars in 2017?

17-year-old cars comply with the China V emission standard. The full name of the China V standard is the National Fifth Stage Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standard. The emission control level of the China V standard is equivalent to the Euro 5 emission standard currently implemented in Europe. The European Union has been enforcing it since 2009, imposing stricter limits on motor vehicle emissions such as nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. From China I to China IV, each upgrade in the standard reduces vehicle pollution by 30% to 50%. Compared to the China IV standard, the China V standard can reduce nitrogen oxide emissions from light-duty vehicles by 25% and from heavy-duty vehicles by 43%. Functions of implementing the China V standard: Promoting the improvement of domestic gasoline and diesel quality for vehicles, contributing to the reduction of pollutants from new vehicles, and improving the emission conditions of a large number of in-use vehicles.
