It is not safe to drive with a tire pressure of 2.0 bar in summer. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the standard tire pressure for regular tires is 2.4-2.5 bar. In summer, the tire pressure should generally be at the lower limit of the standard tire pressure, which is 2.4 bar. A pressure of 2.0 bar is significantly below the normal range and therefore unsafe for driving. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Heavier steering wheel and increased tendency for the vehicle to drift, posing safety risks; Increased movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; Reduced functionality of the cord and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, excessive friction with the rim causing damage to the bead area, and abnormal wear; Exponentially increased friction between the tire and the ground, rapid rise in tire temperature, softening of the tire, and a sharp decrease in strength, which may result in a blowout during high-speed driving; Increased deformation of the tire body, prone to sidewall cracks, and the generation of flexing motion, leading to excessive heat, accelerated rubber aging, fatigue of the cord fabric, and cord breakage, as well as increased tire contact area, accelerating shoulder wear.

How to manually reset the maintenance light on the 2020 Geely Emgrand?

Function of the maintenance light: These lights serve to record the mileage of important components, similar to a timer in a sprint race, reminding the owner and automotive maintenance personnel. If the owner replaces related components but does not reset the light, it will not affect the vehicle's performance but may cause inconvenience for the next component replacement, as the exact usage time of the new component cannot be accurately known. 2. Precautions: Whenever the maintenance mileage is reached, it is recommended that the owner promptly take the vehicle to a 4S shop or a specialized maintenance facility for servicing to ensure all functions of the vehicle remain in optimal condition.

How to Identify the Front Position of the Car?

Methods to identify the front position of the car: If there is a vehicle in front, when you see the front of your car approaching the lower edge of the front vehicle's bumper from the driver's seat, it indicates that the front of your car is approximately two meters away from the front vehicle; if you see the upper edge of the front vehicle's bumper, it means the front of your car is 0.5 meters away from the front vehicle. If you are driving an SUV, the same two reference points apply. Seeing the lower edge of the bumper from the driver's seat indicates a distance of 1.2 meters between the front of your car and the vehicle ahead, while seeing the upper edge represents a distance of 0.3 meters. To judge the distance of the wheels, if the driver sees the road surface line coincide with the protruding point of the right wiper from inside the car, it means the tire is pressing the line.
