If the tire pressure warning appears after driving a new car for a month, you don't need to go to the 4S shop. When the owner is driving the vehicle and finds a tire pressure warning on the dashboard, they should promptly pull over to a safe place and park, and place a yellow triangle stand behind the vehicle to alert other vehicles. If the vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system, the tires should be checked. Tire pressure monitoring is the real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure during vehicle driving, and it alerts the driver in case of tire leakage or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three commonly used tire pressure monitoring methods: Direct tire pressure monitoring: The direct tire pressure monitoring device uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. The pressure information is sent from inside the tire to a central receiver module via a wireless transmitter, and then the tire pressure data for each tire is displayed. When the tire pressure is too low or there is a leak, the system will automatically issue a warning. Indirect tire pressure monitoring: When the pressure of a tire decreases, the weight of the vehicle will cause the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, resulting in a faster rotation speed compared to the other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speed between the tires, the purpose of monitoring tire pressure is achieved. The indirect tire warning system actually relies on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Introduction to the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): It combines the advantages of the above two systems, equipping direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and a 4-wheel indirect system. Compared to using only a direct system, this composite system can reduce costs and overcome the defect of the indirect system being unable to detect when multiple tires simultaneously have low pressure. However, it still cannot provide real-time data of the actual pressure in all four tires like the direct system.

What Problems Does a Car Battery Fault Indicate?

Car battery fault indications include the following problems: Illumination of the car battery warning light or battery swelling: When the car battery warning light on the dashboard illuminates, it should be taken seriously. The illumination of this light indicates that the car battery has already developed a fault. Alternatively, if the battery shows signs of swelling, there are generally two causes: prolonged overcharging or blockage of the battery's vent holes. Both scenarios signify battery faults. Dimming of headlights: Power for the car's headlights, brake lights, and audio system comes from the car battery. If the headlights become noticeably dimmer or the brake lights appear weak when braking, it indicates that the car battery is nearing failure. This occurs because, during idling, the car's charging power decreases, preventing the battery from supplying adequate voltage, which in turn causes the lights to dim. Difficulty starting the car: If the car, which normally starts without issues, suddenly becomes difficult to start, it suggests a problem with the car battery. The battery may be nearing the end of its life and can no longer supply power properly. In such cases, the battery should be replaced immediately; otherwise, the car may become undrivable.

How to Deal with Static Electricity in Cars?

The methods to handle static electricity in cars are: 1. Place a humidifier inside the car; 2. Install a static discharger on the roof; 3. Place a damp towel on the dashboard. The causes of static electricity in cars are: 1. Charge accumulated by the human body, generated by friction between skin and clothing; 2. Static electricity generated by the car itself, caused by friction between the car body and dust in a dry environment; 3. Friction between the owner's clothing and the car's interior. Static electricity is a stationary charge or a non-flowing charge, which can be divided into positive static electricity and negative static electricity. When accumulated in the human body to a certain extent, it can cause abnormal current conduction in brain nerve cell membranes.

Do New Cars Need Antifreeze and Windshield Washer Fluid?

New cars do not require additional antifreeze as they come with factory-installed antifreeze, which typically needs replacement every two years or 30,000 kilometers. Windshield washer fluid should be replenished as needed based on usage, generally requiring top-up when depleted. The antifreeze replacement procedure is as follows: Before performing a complete antifreeze change, conduct a thorough inspection to check for leaks or cracks in all hoses, with particular attention to the five-way water pipe. Antifreeze circulates through this pipe before being distributed to various parts of the vehicle. If leaks are detected in this area, replace the hose or reseal connections as necessary. Drain the old antifreeze, then flush the cooling system with clean water. Fill the antifreeze reservoir with water and continue adding water until it flows continuously through the engine cooling system. Start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the discharged water may appear slightly pinkish—continue flushing until the outflow runs clear. Remember to disconnect the heater hose and drain the heater core completely. Approximately one hour after draining, add new antifreeze through the radiator hose. Then fill the antifreeze reservoir nearly to the top with another container of antifreeze. Start the engine for about 10 minutes—this allows the cooling system to purge air, causing the fluid level to drop. Top up the antifreeze to the "MAXT" mark on the reservoir.

Vehicle Inspection: Should You Go to the Vehicle Management Office or the Inspection Station?

Vehicle inspection requires visits to both the vehicle management office and the inspection station. Differences between the vehicle management office and the inspection station: The vehicle management office primarily handles applications for motor vehicle driving licenses, replacements, renewals, inspections, and other related services for vehicles and drivers. On the other hand, the inspection station focuses on comprehensive performance testing for motor vehicles. While the two are related, their differences are quite distinct. Vehicle inspection process: After the six-year exemption period or for vehicles requiring on-site inspections, the normal procedure is to first visit the inspection station for the inspection and then proceed to the vehicle management office for the official stamp. However, in some regions where the inspection station and vehicle management office are interconnected, the entire inspection process may be completed directly at the inspection station.

What Are the Hazards of Flood-Damaged Vehicles?

Flood-damaged vehicles pose risks such as rusted and seized components, malfunctioning electronic devices, and damage to the engine and transmission. Rusted and Seized Components: Water immersion causes rust and seizure in moving mechanisms of these parts, especially in infrequently operated components like fuel tank caps. Once rusted shut, they are extremely difficult to handle and often require forceful methods to open. Malfunctioning Electronic Devices: The biggest issue with flood-damaged vehicles is the hidden dangers in electronic equipment. Symptoms may include intermittent failures or sudden malfunctions after a long period. Vulnerable electronic devices include airbag control units, collision sensors, power seats, etc., all typically installed on the chassis. Damage to Engine and Transmission: If even high-positioned components like fuel tank caps rust, it's inevitable that the engine may also suffer water ingress.
