It is not safe to drive with low tire pressure. The recommended steps to address low tire pressure are: 1. Check the tire for leaks or damage; 2. Use a portable air pump to inflate the tire. The consequences of driving with low tire pressure include: 1. Increased friction coefficient with the road surface; 2. Heavy steering and a tendency to veer, which are hazardous driving conditions; 3. Increased movement of tire components, leading to excessive rolling and abnormal heat generation; 4. Reduced functionality of the cords and rubber, potentially causing delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim leading to bead damage; 5. Increased deformation of the tire body, resulting in sidewall cracks and flexing movements that accelerate rubber aging, ply fatigue, and shoulder wear.

Should You Press the Brake or Clutch First When Decelerating?

When decelerating, press the brake first, then the clutch. In fact, it's not always necessary to press the clutch when braking; frequently pressing the clutch can be detrimental as it wears out the clutch plate. The clutch is typically used when shifting gears or when coming to a temporary stop without shifting to neutral. Avoid pressing the clutch while braking; instead, press it only when the car slows down enough to require a gear change. When braking downhill, try not to shift to neutral or press the clutch; simply maintain an appropriate gear based on your speed. The clutch should never be used as a brake. Pressing the clutch downhill will cause the car to accelerate faster because the drivetrain disconnects from the wheels, and the engine can no longer control the vehicle's speed, allowing gravity to take over.

What are the practical techniques for reverse parking?

Practical techniques for reverse parking: 1. Align the car body and maintain a distance of about 1 meter from the adjacent vehicle; 2. Use the right rear wheel to locate the tire point, and immediately turn the steering wheel to full lock once the tire passes the tire point at the upper right corner of the parking space; 3. After adjusting the car body position, straighten the steering wheel and continue reversing until the car is completely parked; 4. Control the driving speed, using first gear or reverse gear idle speed throughout the process, maintaining the same speed as when starting; 5. Control the timing of steering, observe carefully during reversing, grasp the key points of steering, and steer at the right time; 6. Control the driving path, which mainly depends on the speed of steering wheel rotation and driving speed. When reversing, aim for the boundary line and adjust the direction in time to ensure the car enters the parking space straight.

How to Tell if a Car Meets China 6 Emission Standards?

Methods to determine if a car meets China 6 emission standards: 1. Check the vehicle's environmental protection label, which clearly indicates the emission standard on the back; 2. Visit the website of the Motor Vehicle Exhaust Pollution Supervision and Management Center to inquire; 3. Take the motor vehicle registration certificate (original or copy) to the vehicle management office for inquiry; 4. For new cars, refer to the vehicle's factory certificate, which specifies the emission standard (e.g., China 4, China 5, or China 6). China 6 refers to the National Sixth Stage Emission Standards for Motor Vehicle Pollutants. It is a standard established to implement the Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China and the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People's Republic of China, aiming to prevent pollution from exhaust emissions of compression-ignition and gas-fueled ignition engine vehicles, protect the ecological environment, and safeguard human health.
