Whether it is serious if the car chassis is damaged depends on different situations: 1. It is serious if there is fluid leakage or deformation of mechanical parts; 2. It is not serious if there are minor scratches. The car chassis is composed of the transmission system, running system, steering system, and braking system. Its function is to support and install the car engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the car, and to receive the power generated by the engine to ensure normal driving when the car moves. Daily maintenance of the car chassis includes: 1. Proper adjustment of the front wheel toe-in; 2. Good lubrication and proper adjustment of the wheel hub bearings; 3. Pay attention to changes in the front and rear axles and the frame; 4. Check for any damage to the leaf springs; 5. Proper adjustment of the brake clearance; 6. Monitor the working condition of the clutch.

I just hit my car's undercarriage while driving on a bumpy road, and I'm quite worried because this could be a minor or major issue. I immediately stopped to inspect it. If the undercarriage is actually damaged, it might cause fluid leaks—for example, a punctured oil pan could lead to oil leakage, directly affecting engine lubrication. Alternatively, suspension components could deform, impacting driving stability. Last time I ignored a similar impact, rust spread and repair costs became much higher. If you hear unusual noises or see dashboard warnings, you must take it to a professional repair shop immediately. I usually avoid poor road conditions and recommend installing underbody protection plates to prevent scrapes. In short, don’t take undercarriage damage lightly—it protects your car's core components, and early inspection can prevent bigger problems.

How to Distinguish Between Tubeless Tires and Regular Tires?

Differences between tubeless tires and regular tires: 1. Inner tube difference: Tubeless tires do not have an inner tube; regular tires have an inner tube. 2. Performance difference: Tubeless tires are mostly used in small and medium-sized vehicles, offering better shock absorption and grip; regular tires are mostly used in large vehicles, providing better durability and load-bearing capacity. 3. Assembly method difference: Tubeless tires do not have a combination of inner and outer tubes, only an outer tire and wheel, directly sealed together. Their surface is a layer of high-quality rubber, which increases surface tension when inflated, forming a certain pressure on the inner surface, improving self-sealing capability for punctures; regular tires consist of inner and outer tubes and wheels, hence also known as tube tires, making them more convenient to repair.

Can You Continue Driving When the Transmission is in Emergency Mode?

You should not continue driving when the transmission is in emergency mode. The transmission enters emergency mode due to overheating or other malfunctions, and the vehicle should be towed to a 4S shop for inspection and repair. The transmission, also known as the gearbox, is a mechanism used to alter the speed and torque from the engine, capable of fixing or changing the gear ratio between the output and input shafts. The transmission consists of a gear transmission mechanism and a control mechanism, with the following functions: 1. Changing the transmission ratio to meet the traction needs under different driving conditions; 2. Enabling reverse driving to meet the needs of the vehicle moving backward; 3. Interrupting power transmission; 4. Engaging neutral gear.
