Vehicle wheels are prone to locking when braking on road surfaces with low friction coefficients, such as common icy or snowy roads. Here is a detailed introduction about vehicle wheel locking: 1. Overview: Wheel locking refers to a phenomenon where the brake clamps the tire, causing the tire to stop moving relative to the brake and slide against the ground. Wheel locking can be divided into dynamic locking and static locking. Dynamic locking occurs when the front wheels lock and skid first during driving, causing the vehicle to lose steering capability. 2. Others: If the rear wheels lock and skid first, even a slight lateral force can cause the vehicle to skid sideways. If both front and rear wheels lock simultaneously, the vehicle will slide in a straight line. Static locking refers to a situation where the wheels lock when the vehicle is parked, causing one or more wheels to slide when the driver attempts to restart, preventing the vehicle from moving normally.

What to Do If a Car That Requires 95 Octane Gasoline Is Filled with 92 Octane?

If a car that requires 95 octane gasoline is filled with 92 octane, the solution is to use up the 92 octane gasoline before refueling. Gasoline is a volatile and flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid derived from petroleum through distillation, cracking, or pyrolysis, and it is used as fuel. The characteristics of gasoline include: 1. Evaporation: It quickly vaporizes in the engine cylinder and forms a uniform combustible mixture with air; 2. Stability: The ability to resist oxidation under normal temperature and liquid phase conditions is called stability; 3. Anti-knock: Refers to the ability of gasoline to resist detonation combustion under various usage conditions; 4. Corrosiveness: Sulfur compounds in gasoline can cause corrosion to objects.

What is the fuel tank capacity of FAW Besturn X40?

FAW Besturn X40 has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, which is the officially announced data. The recommended fuel grade for FAW Besturn X40 is 92 octane, with a fuel consumption of 6.7-6.9L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can provide a driving range of 724-746 kilometers. During daily driving, it is necessary to constantly monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is usually done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel midway. In actual refueling situations, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is additional space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This extra space is designed to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.

Is It Necessary to Keep Old Tires?

Old tires are not necessary to keep. Here is the relevant information: 1. Production Date: On one side of the tire, there will be a set of numbers. The last four digits of this marking indicate the production date. It consists of four digits "AABB," where the first two digits "AA" represent the week of the year (normally one month equals four weeks), and the last two digits "BB" represent the year. 2. Timely Replacement: Tires, like other parts of a car, have a limited lifespan. If they reach a certain age or have been driven for a certain mileage, they need to be replaced promptly. Otherwise, insufficient grip may lead to weakened performance, ultimately affecting driving safety.

How to Understand Tire Ratings?

For example, if a tire's specification is 205/55/R16-91V:1. 205: refers to the tire width of 205mm. 2. 55: refers to the aspect ratio, meaning the section height is 55% of the width. 3. R: indicates that the tire is a radial tire (the inner layer of this tire is manufactured using the radial method). 4. 16: refers to the rim diameter of 16 inches. 5. 91: refers to the load index of 91, representing that this tire can bear a maximum load of 615 kilograms, and four tires would be 615×4=2460 kilograms. 6. V: indicates a speed rating of 240 kilometers per hour.
