Whether wheel alignment is necessary when installing tires depends on different situations: 1. If the tires are replaced due to normal wear reaching the wear indicators or due to tire damage, wheel alignment is not required after tire replacement; 2. If the tires are replaced due to severe abnormal wear, wheel alignment is necessary. Wheel alignment is based on the four-wheel parameters of the vehicle, and adjustments are made to ensure good driving performance and certain reliability. Its functions include: 1. Increasing driving safety; 2. Reducing tire wear; 3. Keeping the steering wheel straight when driving straight and maintaining straight-line driving; 4. Automatically returning the steering wheel to the center after turning; 5. Enhancing driving control; 6. Reducing fuel consumption; 7. Decreasing suspension component wear.

How Long to Charge a Dead Battery at Idle Speed?

Charging time for a dead battery at idle speed: If the engine speed is 1500 rpm, charging for 20 minutes can provide enough power for the starter to crank the engine once; charging for 30 minutes at 1500 rpm can ensure one successful start the next day; if charging at 1500 rpm for over 60 minutes, the battery can be almost fully charged. It is recommended to charge the battery while driving rather than at idle speed, for the following reasons: 1. Carbon buildup risk: Prolonged idling can cause carbon deposits to form in the engine combustion chamber; 2. Inefficient charging: The alternator produces weak electrical output at low speeds, and only reaches its designed standard current output during normal driving conditions.

Does a Vehicle Having Been in an Accident Affect Its Sale?

A vehicle that has been in an accident will definitely affect its sale. During the vehicle transaction process, it is common for a third party to conduct an inspection of the vehicle. If the inspection reveals that the vehicle has been involved in an accident, it will certainly impact the vehicle's price, leading to a reduction. The currently effective national safety technical standards for motor vehicles are the "Motor Vehicle Safety Technical Inspection Items and Methods" jointly issued by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China and the Standardization Administration of China. Chapters 4, 6, and 7 of this standard are mandatory and must be complied with. It explicitly requires online queries for accident and violation information of the inspected vehicle. For vehicles involved in unresolved traffic violations or road accidents, the vehicle owner should be reminded to promptly handle the matter with the traffic management department of the public security authority. Unresolved traffic accidents can affect the vehicle's annual inspection, thereby impacting its normal sale. China's "Used Car Circulation Management Measures" stipulate that after the completion of a used car transaction, the seller must promptly deliver the vehicle, license plate, and legal certificates and documents to the buyer. Legal certificates and documents mainly include the motor vehicle registration certificate, motor vehicle driving license, valid motor vehicle safety technical inspection compliance mark, vehicle purchase tax payment certificate, road maintenance fee payment certificate, vehicle and vessel tax payment certificate, and vehicle insurance policy. If a used car lacks the aforementioned legal certificates, it is classified as a prohibited sale vehicle and cannot undergo transfer registration. In practice, there have been cases where vehicles were seized by public security authorities due to the lack of a motor vehicle safety technical inspection compliance mark, making transfer impossible. Consumers can demand contract termination, vehicle return, and refund.

What may happen when driving at high speed with low tire pressure?

Tire blowout. When driving at high speed with low tire pressure, the tire may experience wave-like deformation and a rise in temperature, which can easily lead to a blowout. Here is some information about tire blowouts: 1. Handling method: Keep both hands on the steering wheel at all times and avoid sudden steering movements; Do not slam on the brakes immediately after a blowout occurs; If the situation permits and is under control, take 0.5 seconds to turn on the hazard lights, then immediately resume holding the steering wheel firmly. 2. Precautions: It is crucial to check the rearview mirror for other vehicles; If a blowout occurs on a highway, only apply light braking to slow down after the speed drops below 100 km/h.

At What Age Can Children Use Safety Seats?

Generally, children over six months old and under eight years old, weighing less than 36 kilograms, can use safety seats. The new national traffic regulations do not mandate the use of child safety seats, but some regions have specific rules requiring children to use safety seats when traveling in vehicles. For example: 1. Hainan: The "Hainan Province Road Traffic Violation Codes and Handling Regulations Manual" stipulates that fines will be imposed for driving non-motor vehicles carrying preschool children without using safety seats. 2. Shanghai: The "Shanghai Minors Protection Ordinance," implemented on March 1, 2014, stipulates that minors under 12 years old are not allowed to sit in the front passenger seat; minors under 4 years old must be equipped with and correctly use child safety seats when riding in family passenger vehicles.
