Is Replacing Just One Tire Harmful to the Car?

Whether replacing just one tire is harmful to the car depends on the specific situation: 1. If the tire is new and hasn't been driven much, you only need to replace the problematic tire, and replacing just one tire won't harm the car; 2. If the tires have been driven tens of thousands of kilometers, replacing only one tire can cause uneven height, leading to bumpiness, which can significantly damage the car's braking system. It's best to replace a pair of tires. Tires are often used under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperatures during driving. Therefore, they must have high load-bearing performance, traction performance, and cushioning performance.

Should You Press the Brake When Shifting Gears?

Shifting gears does not require pressing the brake. After shifting, release your hand immediately and avoid keeping it on the gear lever for too long, as this can easily damage the lever. Gear shifting operation method: When shifting gears, coordinate the clutch and accelerator properly. Press the clutch all the way down, then release the accelerator pedal, and quickly shift to the corresponding gear. Avoid driving in low gear for extended periods: If driving at low speeds for a long time, the vehicle speed is low but the engine speed is high, resulting in fewer miles traveled per unit of time and relatively increased fuel consumption. Therefore, it is recommended that after starting the vehicle, unless it is a cold start in low temperatures, shift to an appropriate higher gear as soon as possible. Generally, higher gears are more fuel-efficient than lower gears. Avoid downshifting without revving: When downshifting on gears with synchronizers, it is possible to downshift without revving by using a single clutch press, but this can easily cause wear and premature damage to components. Therefore, it is recommended to use the double-clutch method with a rev, regardless of whether the vehicle has synchronizers.

What Causes Power Loss After Replacing the Clutch Plate?

If you experience power loss immediately after replacing the clutch plate, this is quite normal because the new clutch plate hasn't been properly worn in yet, and the contact surface is still smooth. The situation will improve after some driving. Below are the reasons for power loss after replacing the clutch plate: Specific reasons: If you've already driven more than 500 kilometers after the replacement and still feel slipping, you can preliminarily determine that the clutch plate is substandard or the pressure plate is defective. Another possibility is that the mechanic didn't readjust the clutch travel and free play after replacing the clutch assembly, leading to slight clutch slippage. Clutch usage precautions: When using the clutch, the principle is "quick disengagement, slow engagement." You should press the pedal decisively and release it slowly. Abruptly releasing the pedal can damage the clutch assembly's pressure springs and break the clutch plate's torsion springs, while also harming the entire drivetrain. However, you should also minimize the time spent in partial clutch engagement (as this causes extreme wear on the clutch plate and rapidly increases temperature, accelerating wear and creating a vicious cycle).

Will the points be reset after renewing the driver's license?

Driver's license renewal does not reset the points. After renewing the driver's license, the points are handled according to specific regulations. Relevant information is as follows: Pay fines before the expiration of validity: Pay fines before the expiration of validity of the "Driver's License": After renewal, the points for the current scoring cycle will be cleared. If fines are paid after the expiration of validity, the points will be carried over to the next scoring cycle. Regulations on driver's license renewal: If a motor vehicle driver has not accumulated 12 points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of the driver's license, they can renew it for a ten-year validity period. If the driver has not accumulated 12 points in any scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period, they can renew it for a long-term valid driver's license.

Can Battery Replacement Be Covered by Insurance?

Battery replacement cannot be covered by insurance. Insurance companies cover risks and accidents. If the need to replace tires or batteries is not caused by an accident, the insurance company will not provide compensation. Relevant information is as follows: Reasons for non-compensation: Those that fall under natural wear and tear, natural depreciation, are not within the scope of insurance and will not be compensated. Consumables are not included in the compensation series, such as car tires. If a tire bursts during normal driving, the replacement of the tire will not be compensated. Only tire damage caused in an accident will be compensated. Lifespan of the battery: Under normal circumstances, the lifespan of a general car battery is 2 to 3 years, and the original battery of a new car can last for more than 3 years. Therefore, if the battery has been in use for about two years, attention should be paid as its lifespan may have expired. At this time, more inspections should be carried out, testing should be done in advance, and problems should be identified and resolved or the battery replaced as early as possible to avoid losses caused by the battery suddenly 'dying' during use.

Does the Exhaust Brake Have a Fuse?

Exhaust brakes do have fuses. In most vehicle models, the fuse box is located near the engine, in front of the steering wheel, and can be seen by opening the hood. The function of automotive fuses: The role of a fuse is: when a circuit malfunctions or behaves abnormally, accompanied by a continuous rise in current, the increasing current may damage some important or valuable components in the circuit, or even burn out the circuit and cause a fire. If a fuse is correctly installed in the circuit, the fuse will melt and cut off the current when the current abnormally rises to a certain level and time, thereby protecting the safe operation of the circuit. Precautions for replacing automotive fuses: Replace the fuse according to the rated current value indicated on the fuse box cover, and do not use a fuse with a higher rated current; if the new fuse blows immediately, it indicates that there may be a fault in the circuit system, and it should be repaired as soon as possible; in the absence of a spare fuse. In an emergency, you can replace it with a fuse from other equipment that does not affect driving and safety; if you cannot find a fuse with the same current load, you can use one with a lower rated current than the original fuse.
