Both excessively high or low tire pressure can easily lead to flat tires. It is recommended to maintain tire pressure at a moderate level. Below is relevant information about car tire pressure: Overview: Tire pressure, strictly speaking, refers to the air pressure inside the tire. Tire pressure is like the blood pressure of a car, and its level plays a crucial role in the car's performance and power. Air pressure is the lifeblood of a tire; both too high and too low will shorten the tire's lifespan. Hazards of improper pressure: Too low pressure increases tire body deformation, easily causing cracks on the tire side, along with flexing movements that lead to excessive heat, promoting rubber aging, fatigue in the cord layer, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating wear on the tire shoulder. Too high pressure causes excessive stretching and deformation of the tire cords, reducing the tire body's elasticity, increasing the load on the car while driving, and may lead to internal cracks and blowouts upon impact.

What is the difference between Bentley's red and black badges?

Bentley uses black badges for models with higher horsepower and relatively more expensive prices, while other models feature red badges. Here is the relevant information: 1. Before 1924, all Bentley vehicles were equipped with red badges. Subsequently, Bentley gradually began using green, blue, and black colors to distinguish different models. Each color represents a different meaning: green—nobility and heritage, blue—luxury and enjoyment, red—passion and enthusiasm, black—power and sportiness. 2. The green-badged Bentley is now out of production. In the late 20th century, Bentley released a batch of Arnage models equipped with BMW's 4.4L V8 engines, which used green badges. The blue 'B' represents the Azure model. Currently, the only blue-badged Bentley is the 1998 Bentley Azure, which was reputed to be the most expensive car of its time.

Does the Vision have airbags?

Geely Vision is equipped with two airbags for the driver and front passenger. Below is relevant information: 1. The driver's airbag is installed on the steering wheel, while the front passenger airbag is located in front of the passenger seat, above the glove compartment on the dashboard, serving as a passive safety feature. 2. How airbags work: When sensors detect a collision, the gas generator triggers ignition, causing the airbag to deploy rapidly by producing or releasing compressed nitrogen to inflate the airbag. Upon contact with the occupant, the airbag absorbs collision energy through cushioning, thereby protecting the passenger. 3. In a severe frontal collision that causes significant vehicle front deformation, occupants are propelled forward due to inertia, potentially impacting interior components. The front passenger airbag safeguards the passenger by preventing direct contact between the head/torso and the dashboard, reducing head displacement inertia from impact, and mitigating fatal injuries.

Which series does the Jetta VS5 belong to?

Jetta VS5 is a compact SUV under the Jetta brand. Jetta is no longer just a car model under Volkswagen; it has become an independent automobile brand. Jetta currently offers two SUV models: the VS5 and the VS7. Below is relevant information: 1. The Jetta VS5 is equipped with a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine across all variants. This vehicle is manufactured on the Volkswagen platform. The 1.4-liter turbocharged engine in the Jetta VS5 is also part of Volkswagen's EA211 series. This engine delivers a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, with the peak power achieved at 5,000 to 6,000 rpm and the peak torque at 1,750 to 3,000 rpm. The engine features DWT technology and direct fuel injection, and it utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission (6AT). 2. The 6AT transmission used in the Jetta VS5 is sourced from Aisin. While Volkswagen typically pairs this 1.4T engine with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT), Jetta opted not to use a DCT. The 6AT transmission offers better reliability and stability compared to the 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission, while also providing smooth gear shifts.

How to Lift the Lamando Wiper?

Turn off the ignition switch, then within 10 seconds, activate the windshield washer switch and pull the wiper lever toward yourself to lift it. Here is some relevant information: 1. Lifting the wiper has certain benefits. Firstly, the glass becomes very hot under prolonged exposure to high temperatures. If the wiper remains in contact with the glass, it will accelerate the aging of the wiper rubber and may even deform in severe cases. In winter, especially in areas with frequent snowfall, it is advisable to lift the wiper (to prevent freezing), as low temperatures also speed up rubber aging. 2. To reset the wiper, simply reverse the above steps.

How to Check Tire Pressure on MG ZS?

The tire pressure monitoring of MG ZS can be viewed on the car's dashboard with specific values. The normal tire pressure should be between 2.4-2.5 bar. Hazards of Overinflated Tires: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern of the tire, shortening tire life; Increases body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Overextends the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the car while driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks or blowouts. Hazards of Underinflated Tires: Increases friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes heavy steering and deviation, compromising driving safety; Increases movement of tire parts, leading to excessive rolling and abnormal heat generation; Reduces the functionality of cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the tire bead and causing abnormal wear; Multiplies friction with the ground, rapidly increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength. High-speed driving may lead to blowouts; Increases tire deformation, causing cracks on the tire side and generating flexing motion, leading to excessive heat, rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage, while also increasing the tire's contact area and accelerating shoulder wear.

How to Open the Fuel Tank Cap of the Cavalier?

The fuel tank cap switch of the Cavalier is located below the left side of the driver's seat. Pull it upward to open. Here is some relevant information: 1. If you encounter a situation where the fuel tank cap cannot be opened, you can also start from the trunk. First, remove the liner covering the fuel tank in the trunk, and you will see the locking mechanism of the fuel tank cap, as well as the pull cable for remote operation. Just pull the cable, and the fuel tank cap will open. If this doesn't work, press the movable part of the locking mechanism while continuously pulling the cable, and the fuel tank cap will open easily. 2. The fuel tank capacity of the Cavalier is 41L, and the material used for the fuel tank is plastic. Currently, most vehicles on the market use resin fuel tanks. Almost all European and American cars use resin fuel tanks, while some Japanese and Korean cars use metal fuel tanks. Additionally, many early vehicle fuel tanks also commonly used metal materials.
