Dunlop tires should be replaced after 6 years. Generally, passenger car tires need replacement within 3-5 years. Even if the tire wear appears good, rubber products will show significant aging signs after 4-5 years. Even if the car tires use special rubber with stronger durability, the safe service life is around 5 years. In other words, tires should be replaced after 6 years of use. Below are the functions of car tires: 1. Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle: Car tires support the entire weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, and transmit forces and moments in other directions. 2. Improving vehicle performance: Car tires transmit traction and braking torque to ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, thereby improving the vehicle's power performance, braking performance, and passability. They work together with the car suspension to cushion impacts during driving and dampen resulting vibrations. 3. Preventing early damage to vehicle components: Car tires prevent vehicle components from suffering severe vibrations and early damage. They adapt to the vehicle's high-speed performance, reduce driving noise, and ensure driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy efficiency.

What Does Cruise Control Mean?

The cruise control system (CRUISE-CONTROL-SYSTEM), abbreviated as CCS, is also known as a speed control device, speed control system, or autonomous driving system. Its function is to automatically maintain the vehicle speed as set by the driver without the need to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the car to travel at a fixed speed. More details are as follows: 1. Due to advancements in automotive technology, traditional cable-operated throttle control methods are rapidly being replaced by electronic throttle control systems. Cable-operated cruise control mainly consists of a control switch, control module (cruise computer), and servo (mechanical actuator). 2. The working principle of the cruise control system is simple: the cruise control module reads the pulse signal from the speed sensor and compares it with the set speed, then issues commands to the servo to mechanically adjust the throttle opening, increasing or decreasing it to maintain the set speed. Electronic multifunction cruise control eliminates the mechanical control part of the cable-operated system, relying entirely on precise electronic control for more accurate operation and avoiding the risk of mechanical failure.

Should I Use 30 or 40 Oil for Engine Oil Consumption?

Whether to use 30 or 40 oil for engine oil consumption depends on the following situations. If the car originally uses 30 viscosity oil, then 40 viscosity oil can be used. If the car originally uses 20 viscosity oil, then 30 viscosity oil can be used. Below are some preventive measures for engine oil consumption: Use high-quality oil: Oil is highly prone to corrosion and aging under prolonged high-temperature conditions, causing the oil film to thin and more likely to enter the combustion chamber and participate in combustion. Therefore, using high-quality oil can significantly delay this phenomenon. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the fuel system: Carbon deposits are inevitably produced during the combustion of fuel, and carbon deposits are the root cause of some car problems, such as aging of valve oil seals, increased piston cylinder wall clearance, etc. These are directly or indirectly related to the formation of carbon deposits. Therefore, keeping the fuel system clean is very helpful in preventing engine oil consumption.

How to Operate the Engine Start-Stop?

Starting the engine operation method is as follows: 1. Insert the key and turn it to the power-on position, wait for the vehicle system self-check to complete; 2. Follow the correct operation procedure, shift the gear to the N position, start the engine, and let it run for 1 to 2 minutes, which is commonly known as warming up the car, then shift to D gear and drive normally. More relevant information is as follows: 1. The car engine is the device that provides power for the car, it is the heart of the car, determining the car's power, economy, stability, and environmental friendliness. 2. According to different power sources, car engines can be divided into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrid power, etc. Common gasoline and diesel engines belong to reciprocating piston internal combustion engines, which convert the chemical energy of fuel into the mechanical energy of piston movement and output power externally.

Why does the X-Trail make abnormal noises when shifting to D gear and stepping on the brake?

The reasons for abnormal noises when the X-Trail is shifted to D gear and the brake is applied are as follows: Severe brake pad wear: Abnormal braking noises at low speeds are likely due to severe brake pad wear. The warning indicator may emit sharp abnormal sounds to prompt replacement. Alternatively, the brake disc or brake drum may be excessively worn, and if too thin, could also produce abnormal noises. Another possibility is that the brake pads have just been replaced and are not properly fitted to the contact surface of the brake disc or drum, leading to point or line contact and resulting in abnormal noises. Engine aging: If the vehicle has been in use for a long time, the rubber of the engine mount cushions may have aged due to high-temperature fatigue, easily causing resonance. In severe cases, there may also be bumping or friction noises. Protective plate deformation: Deformation of the engine protective plate or improper installation can cause engine resonance. This situation is relatively common and easy to resolve.

Why does the Tayron's sunroof open automatically?

The reasons for the Tayron's sunroof opening automatically are as follows: Obstruction in the sliding track: If the sunroof opens automatically, check the sunroof sliding track. If there are obstructions in the track or insufficient lubrication, excessive resistance may trigger the automatic anti-pinch function, resulting in the sunroof opening on its own. Before opening the sunroof, always check for any obstacles on the roof that might hinder its movement. Avoid using the sunroof on bumpy roads to prevent damage to the sunroof and track components due to vibrations. Initialization settings: Factors such as prolonged vehicle inactivity can lead to low battery voltage. A disconnected or low-voltage battery can affect the sunroof's initialization settings, causing the control unit to fail to recognize the sunroof's exact position. This may result in misjudgment and incorrect operation of the sunroof. Resetting the program can resolve this issue.

Where is the fog light on Borgward?

Borgward fog light is located on the left side of the taillight. Function of fog lights: Fog lights are required in foggy or rainy weather to make other vehicles see the car, so fog lights need high brightness and penetration. Ordinary LED daytime running lights and headlights cannot meet this requirement. Precautions for driving in foggy weather: When the visibility is less than 1 kilometer in foggy weather, the headlights and rear fog lights must be turned on. Turning on the headlights is not only to see the car in front, but more importantly to remind the car in front. Otherwise, it is difficult for the car in front to find a car behind when changing lanes in heavy fog, which can easily cause a rear-end collision. Do not turn on the high beam at night in foggy weather. Because the high beam is designed for large-area illumination, it is easy to cause scattering in the fog, which will cause scattered light clusters in front of the driver, making it difficult to see the front.
