It depends on the specific situation. Generally, the lifespan of tires is around 5 years. If 6-year-old tires are not severely aged, with few surface cracks and minimal wear, they can still be used. Below is relevant information about tires: 1. Wear: Tires have wear indicators. There are triangle marks on the side of the tire; when the wear reaches the point indicated by the triangle mark, replacement is recommended. Inside the tire's tread grooves, there are also raised markers; when the wear reaches these raised markers at the tire's surface, replacement is necessary. Simple punctures can be repaired without needing replacement. Bulges must be replaced. 2. Aging: Rubber oxidizes in the air, becoming harder and reducing grip. Therefore, even if a set of tires is not used, their lifespan will decrease. It is not recommended to use tires for more than 5 years from the production date. The production date is indicated on the side of the tire.

What does the car frame mean?

Car frame is supported by the front and rear axles of the suspension system on the wheels, bearing all the weight of the car and its cargo. The car frame mainly consists of longitudinal beams and cross beams, specifically divided into side rail type and longitudinal rail type. The material of the car frame is basically high-strength steel plates, mainly connecting the cross beams and longitudinal beams by riveting to form a rigid structure, which has sufficient strength and stiffness to bear the load of the car and the impact transmitted by the wheels. The front end of a sedan's load-bearing body is formed by two front longitudinal beams, front bulkhead, fenders on both sides, inner front bulkhead, etc., creating a rigid framework; the middle part of the body is a box-shaped structure composed of left and right side panels, floor, roof, front bulkhead, front windshield frame, luggage compartment panels, rear window frame, etc.; its rear end is formed by the luggage compartment floor welded to the rear longitudinal beams and the inner and outer wheel housings of the rear wheels.

Where is the power cut-off switch for BYD Qin?

BYD Qin hybrid high-voltage maintenance switch is located on the left side of the trunk, a large orange switch. Method for completely cutting off power to the BYD Qin: Use the remote key near the micro-motion button on the driver's door and press it more than three times in a row to try to wake it up. If that doesn't work, use the mechanical key to open the door and pull the trunk switch under the seat to open the trunk. There is a plastic cover at the power battery position, open it to see the small battery terminals inside, there are three interfaces, the black one on the left is the negative pole, and the two red ones on the right are the two positive poles. Use a jumper cable or other wire to short-circuit the two red positive poles. There is a high probability that the power will be restored, and the car can be started normally. Where to find the power cut-off switch: On the right side of the power battery pack in the trunk. It is recommended that during maintenance, in addition to disconnecting the maintenance switch, the negative pole of the small battery should also be disconnected.

What is the ground clearance of the Buick GL8?

GL8 unloaded chassis is 160mm, the minimum ground clearance of the old model is 144mm, and the new model is 147mm. Minimum ground clearance: The minimum ground clearance of the Buick GL8 is 143 millimeters. Chassis height, which is the minimum ground clearance, defines the vertical distance from the bottom of the car to the ground when the car is fully loaded. The front suspension of the Buick GL8 adopts a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent suspension. Stability: The chassis height of family cars is generally no less than 110mm and no more than 150mm. According to this parameter analysis of cars, if the chassis height exceeds 13cm, the car is easier to pass through various complex road surfaces, but the high-speed stability is poor. If the chassis height is lower than 110mm, the car will have better stability at high speeds, but the downside is that the passability will be reduced.

Does BYD consume a lot of fuel?

BYD does not consume much fuel. The relationship between fuel consumption and engine speed: The higher the engine speed, the greater the power and utilization rate, and the smaller the unit fuel consumption. Therefore, the fuel consumption of the car is higher at low speeds. 2. In order to master the economical driving speed while driving, the driver should learn to use the engine speedometer and speedometer, appropriately increase or decrease the throttle opening, and keep the engine working within the 30% to 70% speed range according to road conditions. The relationship between fuel consumption and air conditioning cooling system: Use the air conditioning cooling system reasonably. When the speed is below 85 km/h, you can turn off the air conditioning cooling system and open the windows for ventilation as needed; but when the speed is above 85 km/h, you should make full use of the air conditioning cooling system and do not open the windows. Because at high speeds, the fuel consumed by the increased wind resistance after opening the windows is more than the fuel consumed by the air conditioning cooling system.

How many kilometers can a Buick Excelle run after the fuel gauge light comes on?

When the fuel gauge light comes on, an average family sedan can still run approximately 50-90 kilometers. Normal driving: There are requirements in this regard. The vehicle's fuel tank must ensure a driving range of 500-600 kilometers, meaning that vehicles with higher fuel consumption will have larger fuel tanks. When the vehicle's fuel gauge indicator light comes on, the standard driving distance at this point is 50 kilometers, which is considered normal driving. Buick fuel consumption: The Buick Excelle model should still have about 5 liters of fuel left in its tank. It's hard to estimate when driving in the city due to traffic congestion and numerous traffic lights. Therefore, when the vehicle's fuel indicator light comes on, you should quickly find a gas station to refuel; otherwise, the vehicle may become unable to run due to lack of fuel.

What's the reason for the malfunction of the Buick Excelle remote key?

If the remote key is not working, one situation to rule out is insufficient battery power. A dead battery can also cause a situation that resembles remote malfunction. Therefore, replace the key battery to see if the situation improves. Four possible scenarios: First, the key's transmitter is broken, sending incorrect commands. Second, the car's receiver is faulty and cannot control the door. Third, the door lock is broken and cannot be locked at all. Fourth, the battery in the key is dead. Greatest advantage: All the above issues can be resolved at a regular repair shop. A car remote key refers to the wireless remote function of the central locking system. The owner does not need to insert the key into the lock to open or close the door from a distance. Its greatest advantage is: regardless of day or night, without needing to locate the lock, you can remotely and conveniently unlock (open) and lock (close) the door.
