A missing piece from the side of the tire is indeed a problem and requires immediate replacement; otherwise, there is a risk of a tire blowout. Here are specific details about tires: 1. Effects of low tire pressure: Low tire pressure increases the contact area between the tire and the ground, leading to abnormal temperature rises inside the tire during driving. Additionally, severe deformation of the tire sidewall accelerates the aging of internal steel wires and fabric layers, creating a hidden risk for blowouts, while also increasing fuel consumption and reducing tire lifespan. 2. Effects of high tire pressure: High tire pressure reduces the tire's friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance. It can cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort. It also accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening the tire's lifespan.

Is Car Seat Heating Practical?

Car seat heating is relatively practical. There are three reasons why car seat heating is practical: 1. Definition: Seat heating refers to the electric heating device inside the seat; 2. Material: This function is generally found in vehicles with leather seats. Since the surface material of leather seats tends to be cold in winter, the seat heating function can effectively solve this problem. Most electric heating devices also come with adjustable temperature settings; 3. Function: The heating wires inside the seat warm the seat and transfer heat to the occupant through thermal conduction. Therefore, the seat heating function is particularly useful in northern regions, as it alleviates discomfort caused by the seat being too cold after prolonged parking in winter.

Will there be a fine for not wearing seat belts in the back seat of a car?

Whether there will be a fine for not wearing seat belts in the back seat of a car varies according to the regulations of each city. Currently, most cities do not impose fines for not wearing seat belts in the back seat. Relevant information about car seat belts is as follows: 1. Introduction: Car seat belts are safety devices installed on vehicle seats. 2. Working principle: The retractor contains a ratchet mechanism. Normally, passengers can pull the webbing freely and evenly on the seat, but when the webbing stops being pulled out continuously from the retractor or when the vehicle encounters an emergency, the ratchet mechanism will lock and automatically secure the webbing, preventing it from being pulled out.

What does V-type engine mean?

V-type engine refers to an engine where all cylinders are divided into two groups, with adjacent cylinders arranged at a certain angle to each other, forming a V-shaped configuration when viewed from the side. The V-type engine has a compact height and length, making it easier to arrange in vehicles. It facilitates increasing displacement and power by expanding cylinder diameter and is suitable for a higher number of cylinders. An engine is a machine capable of converting other forms of energy into mechanical energy. Its maintenance methods include: 1. Using high-quality engine oil; 2. Using qualified coolant; 3. Regularly cleaning radiator scale; 4. Periodically removing carbon deposits from the car; 5. Timely replacement of the car's three filters; 6. Maintaining a reasonable engine speed.
