Is it safe to drive with insufficient tire pressure?

2 Answers

Tire pressure is insufficient when it is recommended not to continue driving, because driving with insufficient tire pressure is very dangerous. For safety reasons, it is best to stop immediately. Continuing to drive with insufficient tire pressure will have the following effects: 1. It will increase the contact area between the tire tread and the road surface, increasing driving resistance and fuel consumption. 2. It will cause severe wear on both sides of the tire, and the sides of the tire are the most fragile parts. 3. It will increase the friction coefficient, leading to abnormal heating of the tire, a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening of the tire, a decrease in strength, and an increased risk of a blowout.

Last time on the highway, the tire pressure warning light suddenly came on, and I immediately pulled over at the nearest service area. Driving with a flat tire is really playing with your life! The tire sidewall gets repeatedly folded, and it might blow out on the spot, especially in summer when the road temperature is high. Even if you drive slowly, wearing out the tire is the least of your worries—the steering wheel becomes extremely heavy, the braking distance increases, and the car feels like it's sliding on ice during sharp turns. The worst part is that fuel consumption skyrockets. I've seen people push it until the tire comes off the rim. So now I always keep an air pump in the car and top up the tire pressure immediately when it's low. Safety is not something to take lightly.

How to Solve the High Water Temperature Issue in Jinbei Vehicles?

Introduction to the causes and solutions for high water temperature in Jinbei vehicles: 1. Check the coolant: Inspect whether the coolant level is too low. If it is, you need to top up the coolant. If there is no coolant available, you can add tap water or mineral water temporarily, but you should replace it with new coolant once the temperature returns to normal. 2. Check for leaks: If you notice leaks at the radiator, water pipes, or pipe connections, it indicates that the high temperature is caused by the leak. If the leak is not severe, you can add some antifreeze to the radiator and then go to a repair shop as soon as possible. If the leak is severe, it is not recommended to continue driving; you should seek immediate repairs. 3. Check if the radiator fan is working: At idle speed, the radiator fan should start running after a while. If it doesn’t, it means the fan is faulty. This could be due to a blown fuse, a faulty thermostat, or an electrical issue, in which case you should call for a tow truck to take the vehicle for repairs. 4. Stop driving immediately if the engine power output is weak: If the engine water temperature is too high and you notice that the engine power output has weakened, you should stop the vehicle immediately and call for a tow truck. At this point, the high water temperature may have already caused damage to the engine.

What are the body dimensions of the 2018 Accord?

2018 Accord has a body length of 4893mm, width of 1862mm, and height of 1449mm, which are official data. The length of the 2018 Accord refers to the distance between two vertical lines perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and respectively touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the car; the width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and respectively touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle; the height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the vehicle support plane. The 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid adopts the i-MMD hybrid system with dual motors and a CVT transmission, delivering a maximum of 212 horsepower and a fuel consumption of only 4 liters per 100 kilometers. There are relevant national regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard "GB1589-89," the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. In other words, the significance of vehicle width data in the national standard is to ensure enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, the national regulation stipulates that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the usage requirements of public roads.

How Many Points Are Deducted for a High-Speed Rear-End Collision?

Whether points are deducted for a rear-end collision depends on the circumstances. If it is simply a traffic accident, no points will be deducted. However, if traffic laws are violated and there are illegal actions, points will be deducted. Here is additional information: 1. Fines: For illegal actions causing the accident, the amount of the fine is stipulated by law and cannot be waived or arbitrarily changed. 2. Points Deduction: This is an administrative measure, not a law. Although there are relevant regulations, they do not necessarily have to be followed, as authorities have the discretion to waive them.

How High Can the Water Level Be for a Vehicle to Safely Traverse?

Vehicles can safely pass through water levels up to 30cm. Below are precautions for driving through water with a motor vehicle: 1. Drive in a low gear: Use a low gear (for automatic transmission vehicles, engage the hill-climbing gear) and proceed slowly at a steady speed through the waterlogged area while maintaining control of the steering. Be aware of any potholes or gaps beneath the water on the road. 2. Do not restart the engine after stalling: If the vehicle stalls in the waterlogged area, remember not to restart the engine. Engine stalling indicates that water has entered the cylinders. Restarting the engine can cause severe damage to the piston connecting rod assembly due to the incompressibility of water, leading to bending or even complete engine failure in severe cases.

What is the official fuel consumption of the Corolla 1.2t according to the MIIT?

According to data released by the MIIT, the comprehensive fuel consumption of the Corolla 1.2t automatic transmission is 5.4L, with urban fuel consumption at 6.4L and suburban fuel consumption at 4.8L. For the Corolla 1.2t manual transmission, the comprehensive fuel consumption is 5.7L, urban fuel consumption is 7L, and suburban fuel consumption is 4.9L. Here are the related details: 1. MIIT fuel consumption testing: The MIIT's fuel consumption test is based on the carbon balance method, which calculates fuel consumption by measuring the exhaust flow rate and the concentration of carbon-containing gases, adhering to the principle of element conservation. Although the carbon balance method is an indirect measurement, it only requires connecting the instrument pipeline to the exhaust pipe for testing and boasts high accuracy. Therefore, the carbon balance method is currently the mainstream testing approach. 2. Corolla's powertrain: The Toyota Corolla's 1.2-liter turbocharged engine is codenamed 9AR-FTS. This engine delivers a maximum power of 85kW, a maximum torque of 185 Nm, with the maximum power achieved between 5,200 and 5,600 rpm and the maximum torque available from 1,500 to 4,000 rpm.

What are the reasons for the lack of airflow in the Tiguan's air conditioning?

1. Blower failure: The car blower is a crucial component for the air conditioning to produce airflow. If the air conditioning compressor fails during use, the car's air conditioning will definitely not produce airflow. Overheating damage to the internal coil or capacitor failure of the blower are significant reasons for blower malfunction. You can turn the car's air conditioning to its maximum setting and listen for the blower's sound. If it's confirmed to be a blower issue, it's best to visit a 4S shop for repairs, as it's difficult to resolve on your own. 2. Clogged air conditioning filter: A clogged air conditioning filter is a common and significant reason for the lack of airflow. During operation, the car's air conditioning absorbs many impurities from the air, leading to filter blockage. If the air conditioning isn't producing airflow, you can remove the filter to check if it's clean. If it's too dirty, it needs immediate replacement. You can go to a 4S shop or a repair shop, or replace it yourself if you're capable. 3. Control system failure: If neither the blower nor the air conditioning filter is the cause of the lack of airflow, the issue might be with the air vent, air conditioning computer, or control switch. Control system switches generally don't fail often. It's recommended that car owners visit a 4S shop for inspection, as this makes the process simpler.
