Whether scraping the tire against the curb is problematic depends on the extent of the friction. If the friction is severe and has damaged the sidewall of the tire, it is an issue that requires tire replacement. If the friction is minor: If it does not affect the tire, there is no problem and no action is needed. While driving, try to avoid scraping the tire against the curb. If the friction damages the tire, it should be addressed promptly to avoid endangering personal and others' safety. Stay Focused While Driving: In addition, drivers should obey traffic rules, avoid running red lights, and slow down when driving on sidewalks. Drive soberly and stay focused, avoiding excessive conversation with passengers to prevent distraction. Also, refrain from answering phone calls while driving.

What are the reasons for severe jerking in the Lynk & Co 03 transmission?

Below are the specific reasons for jerking in the Lynk & Co 03 transmission: 1. Engine oil passage blockage: The combustion of fuel is determined by the engine's ignition, intake, and fuel injectors, which are the source of the engine's power. If the intake volume decreases, the ignition weakens, or the fuel injection reduces, the power will be insufficient, leading to a jerking sensation. 2. Dirty transmission oil: This can cause damage to the solenoid valve. If sludge in the transmission oil circulates and blocks the oil passages in the valve body, jerking issues will arise. Over time, this can lead to a series of transmission problems such as overheating, impact, and slipping. 3. Break-in period: Slight jerking during driving is normal because the vehicle's power output and component engagement are not at optimal levels. Additionally, the transmission's computer has a self-learning mechanism that requires continuous adjustment of oil pressure for gear shifting.

Why does the car's tire pressure warning light come on when the tires aren't low on air?

When a car's tire pressure warning light comes on but the tires aren't low on air, it's usually due to excessive tire pressure. This is especially common in summer when high ground temperatures combined with friction between the tires and road surface can cause tire pressure to rise, triggering the tire pressure monitoring system alarm. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and pulling, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Causes excessive stretching deformation of tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, with impacts potentially causing internal cracks or blowouts leading to tire bursts.

What Does Carbon Brush Mean?

Carbon brush, also known as an electric brush, is a type of sliding contactor widely used in many electrical devices. It serves as a device that transfers energy or signals between the stationary and rotating parts of motors, generators, or other rotating machinery. Typically made of pure carbon with a solidifying agent, it is usually shaped like a square block, clamped onto a metal bracket, with a spring inside pressing it tightly against the rotating shaft. 1. Composition: The main component of a carbon brush is carbon. During operation, it works on the rotating part under spring pressure, functioning like a brush, hence the name 'carbon brush.' The primary material is graphite. 2. Function: Carbon brushes play a crucial role in DC motors. They conduct current between the moving parts of the motor, a process known as sliding conduction, which transfers current from the stationary part to the rotating part of the generator or motor. Several carbon brushes form a carbon frame, and this conduction method leads to easy wear of the carbon brushes. Additionally, carbon brushes have the function of changing the direction of current, known as commutation.

Can You Drive with Insufficient Engine Coolant?

You cannot drive with insufficient engine coolant for the following reasons: 1. It can cause the engine radiator to overheat; 2. It may damage the engine. The causes of insufficient engine coolant are: 1. Internal engine leakage; 2. Leaking connector pipes; 3. Radiator leakage; 4. Poor sealing of the radiator cap; 5. Damaged radiator cap air valve. The steps to add engine coolant are: 1. Unscrew the radiator cap and open the radiator drain valve; 2. Insert a rubber hose into the radiator; 3. Flush the radiator with water; 4. Drain the water and close the radiator drain valve; 5. Fill the radiator with antifreeze up to the MAX mark; 6. Tighten the radiator cap and reservoir cap; 7. Start the engine and let it idle for 3 minutes; 8. Top up the antifreeze to the MAX mark.

What Octane Gasoline Should the Hyundai Mistra Use?

The octane rating of gasoline for the Hyundai Mistra depends on its engine: models equipped with 1.8L and 2.0L naturally aspirated engines should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with a 1.6T turbocharged engine require 95 octane gasoline. The numbers 92, 95, and 98 commonly refer to the octane rating of gasoline, representing the ratio of the actual gasoline's anti-knock properties to those of standard gasoline. Higher octane numbers indicate stronger anti-knock performance. The Hyundai Mistra is a B-segment sedan under Beijing Hyundai. Taking the Mistra 2021 270TGDi DCT LUX Premium Edition as an example, its body dimensions are 4780mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1460mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2770mm. In terms of power, the Mistra 2021 270TGDi DCT LUX Premium Edition is equipped with a 1.5T inline four-cylinder engine, delivering a maximum power of 125kW and a maximum torque of 253Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

What are the reasons for the air conditioning not cooling in a new car?

The most likely reason for the air conditioning not cooling in a new car is the lack of refrigerant. Generally, unless the car is purchased in summer, owners do not carefully check or request the 4S store to refill the refrigerant. As a result, after driving the car for a while, when summer comes and they want to use the air conditioning, they realize there is no refrigerant, leading to no cooling. The daily maintenance of car air conditioning can be roughly divided into the following two parts: 1. Regularly clean the air conditioning filter: Otherwise, over time, the filter can easily breed bacteria and emit a musty smell. If not cleaned for a long time, the dust attached to it will be blown into the car when the air conditioning is turned on. 2. Periodically clean the air conditioning radiator: Frequent use of the air conditioning in summer can lead to the growth of dirt, dust, and bacteria in the air conditioning ducts, which can affect human health.
