Tire pressure monitoring is better when built-in than external, as built-in is a direct monitoring type of tire pressure monitoring, providing accurate results. The tire pressure monitoring system generally consists of a tire pressure monitoring module and four tire pressure sensors. Whether built-in or external, their sensor modules transmit data wirelessly. Information about built-in and external tire pressure monitoring is as follows: 1. Built-in tire pressure monitoring: Also known as direct tire pressure monitoring, it uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire's air pressure. The system uses a wireless transmitter to send pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the tire pressure data for each tire. When the tire pressure is too low or there is a leak, the system automatically alerts, serving as a proactive defensive measure. 2. The mechanism of external tire pressure monitoring involves replacing the valve cap with a sensor, which is directly fitted onto the valve stem. By pressing the valve core inward, the internal tire pressure is released, allowing direct detection of tire pressure and temperature.

How to Remove the Cigarette Lighter?

The correct method to use a cigarette lighter is as follows: 1. The cigarette lighter consists of two parts: the outer ring and the inner ring. When using it, press the inner ring in, and when the temperature is reached, the inner ring will automatically pop back to its original position. At this point, you can pull it out by holding the outer ring. 2. You can also remove the cigarette lighter by directly pulling it out when the inner ring is pressed down. If you cannot remove the cigarette lighter without any operation, check if the inner ring has been pressed in before but failed to pop out due to a circuit issue, which might indicate a blown fuse. Extension: Generally, cigarette lighters are mainly used in places where open flames are prohibited, such as factories and workshops, where smoking requires the use of a cigarette lighter. Additionally, besides lighting cigarettes, car cigarette lighters can also be equipped with a car inverter, which converts the 12V, 24V, or 48V DC power in the car into 220V/50Hz AC power for use with ordinary electrical appliances.

Can a Dash Cam Record the Interior of the Vehicle?

Yes, there are now 360-degree dash cams that can record the front and rear of the entire vehicle. If you purchase a front-facing dash cam, it will not capture the rear of the vehicle, nor can it record incidents like rear-end collisions. The functions and components of a dash cam are as follows: Functions of a Dash Cam: A dash cam is a device that records images, sounds, and other relevant information during vehicle operation. The primary purpose of a dash cam is to document the entire driving process with video and audio, providing evidence in case of traffic accidents. It also records time, speed, and location in the footage, functioning similarly to a "black box." With the increasing prevalence of fraudulent claims like "crash for cash," dash cams have become particularly important. Components of a Dash Cam: Different dash cam models may vary in appearance, but they generally consist of essential components such as a microprocessor, data storage, real-time clock, display, operation keys, printer, and data communication interfaces.

How many days does it take to receive traffic violation information?

If you violate traffic rules on urban streets, you will generally receive a ticket notification via SMS within 5-10 minutes; if the violation occurs on a highway, you will usually receive the SMS within 1-2 days; if you are caught violating traffic rules on ordinary national highways or other regular roads, the SMS notification typically arrives within 1-7 days. The reasons for the varying times to receive ticket notifications and the methods for checking violations are as follows: Reasons for different SMS notification times: The main reason lies in the different working systems. Some advanced camera systems immediately transmit data to the system, which then analyzes and determines whether the vehicle has violated traffic rules before sending the violation information to the owner's mobile phone. The entire process requires some time to complete. Methods for checking violations: Visit the office halls of the traffic police departments in various cities, districts, and counties to check through touch query terminals.

How many points are deducted for not wearing a seatbelt in the passenger seat?

Not wearing a seatbelt in the passenger seat results in a deduction of 1 point. The passenger seat is also the most dangerous position in the entire vehicle, which is why modern cars will automatically sound an alarm if the passenger is not wearing a seatbelt. For the safety of yourself and others, it is essential to develop the good habit of wearing a seatbelt. The following are the regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law and precautions for wearing a seatbelt: Road Traffic Safety Law Regulations: According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, when a motor vehicle is in motion, passengers in the front seat must also wear a seatbelt. The requirement for passengers to wear seatbelts was clearly stipulated in the old traffic regulations. Any passenger not wearing a seatbelt can be fined by the traffic police on duty. Precautions for Wearing a Seatbelt: The lap belt should be fastened snugly across the hips, just touching the upper thighs. In the event of a collision, the force will be distributed across the pelvic bones, preventing the seatbelt from tightening around the abdomen and causing serious injury.

Is a 1.5L Engine Powerful Enough for a Car?

If it's for urban driving, a car with a 1.5L engine displacement is sufficient. Most family sedans today have engine displacements ranging from 1.4L to 1.8L, and even turbocharged models mostly fall between 1.4T and 1.5T. Moreover, most 1.5L engines can deliver over 110 horsepower, which is more than adequate for city driving in most family cars. Here are some methods to determine if a car's power is sufficient: Check the engine RPM: Generally, an engine RPM between 2500 and 3000 is considered optimal. At the same speed of 120 mph, you may notice that more expensive cars tend to have lower engine RPMs. Engine material: Aluminum has a lower density, making engines constructed from it naturally lighter. Cars equipped with aluminum engines have reduced weight, significantly enhancing power efficiency. Aluminum is highly resistant to high temperatures and corrosion, offering better ventilation and heat dissipation. Its inherent physical properties provide excellent ductility, making it more malleable than cast iron and allowing for more precise and refined manufacturing processes.

What are the criteria for tire replacement?

Tire replacement criteria are as follows: 1. Technical standard: When tread grooves are less than 1.6MM, tires should be replaced. If the tread wear indicator is exposed, it indicates that the groove depth is less than 1.6mm. The tread wear indicator is the raised part in the groove. Using tires with remaining groove depth below 1.6mm may result in sudden loss of traction and braking force in rainy conditions, as well as complete loss of traction in snowy conditions. 2. Tread standard: Tires that have been punctured more than 4 times on the tread; tires with punctured or damaged sidewalls; tires with tread punctures exceeding 4mm in diameter; tires with punctured shoulders. The sidewall rubber is thinner, and if the puncture hole is large or the rubber surface shows extensive rough granulation or bulging deformation, immediate replacement is necessary to prevent blowouts. 3. Mileage standard: Based on road conditions, 30,000-50,000 kilometers. For smooth asphalt roads, 50,000 kilometers; for rough gravel roads, 30,000 kilometers. When exceeding 30,000 kilometers, the tread friction coefficient is less than 50. In wet or snowy conditions, the tread's water drainage function decreases or is lost, with a friction coefficient below 15, making gravel roads prone to blowouts.
