Generally, it mainly depends on the level of deformation and cracking of the wheel hub. If the wheel rim is deformed or cracked, the tire should be tested on a dynamic balancing machine. If the tire shows signs of shaking, then the tire cannot be used anymore. Below is a detailed introduction: 1. Degree of damage: If the wheel rim is only slightly impacted, it will not cause significant harm to the suspension system. If the impact is more severe, it is necessary to go to a repair shop for inspection, including four-wheel alignment checks, etc. 2. Hazards: If the tire hits the curb, it will cause certain damage to the tire, wheel rim, suspension, and shock absorber. In severe cases, it can damage the tire, causing bulges on the tire sidewall, tire blowouts, wheel hub deformation, and may also damage the suspension system, leading to body deformation and noise during driving.

What are the reasons why GAC Trumpchi cars fail to start?

There are several reasons why a GAC Trumpchi car may fail to start, including excessive carbon deposits in the idle speed motor, intake tract, intake valves, and combustion chamber. Below is extended information about carbon deposits: 1. Introduction: Carbon deposits include two concepts: The first concept is engine carbon deposits: During engine operation, unsaturated olefins and gums in the fuel produce a coking-like substance under high temperatures. The second concept is carbon deposits in electrical discharge machining, which should be avoided as much as possible, especially in precision mold processing, as it can have fatal effects. 2. Causes of formation: Carbon deposits in the combustion chamber are caused by the gums in gasoline components and the tiny carbon particles produced after the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons, which fail to be discharged with the exhaust gas and accumulate in the combustion chamber. These black particles should be emitted into the atmosphere with the exhaust gas or accumulate on the muffler pipe.

Why is the Honda Civic's anti-theft light flashing continuously?

The flashing of the anti-theft indicator light indicates that the vehicle's anti-theft system is activated and in working condition. Generally, when the owner presses the lock button on the smart key, the car's anti-theft system is activated, and the anti-theft light will start flashing. If the engine anti-theft light flashes at a frequency of once every 1 to 2 seconds, it is normal. This means that the car's engine has entered the anti-theft state, and the engine anti-theft system is functioning properly. This is a normal phenomenon, and the owner does not need to deactivate it. Here are some precautions regarding car maintenance: 1. The maintenance schedule and the specific maintenance items for each service are detailed in the vehicle's maintenance manual (owner's manual). During regular maintenance, strictly follow the instructions provided in the manual. 2. During maintenance, unless under special circumstances, do not listen to the 4S shop. Reject any additional items recommended by the 4S shop. The 4S shop only aims to shorten the maintenance intervals to make more money and does not consider the owner's best interests.

Why is the reversing camera of Mercedes-Benz C200 not displaying?

Here are the reasons and solutions for the sudden failure of the reversing camera display: 1. If it is a camera failure, you can purchase a new installation kit. It is recommended to buy one with an illumination power supply so that it can be seen at night. 2. If the power cord is loose, causing a power supply issue for the camera, simply plug the power cord back in tightly. Also, check for any water traces on the plug, as power supply problems are often caused by short circuits due to water traces. 3. If the wire is broken, you can use sealant to fix it and ensure it is securely fastened to avoid being pinched off during driving.

What does Avalon ECO mean?

ECO refers to the car's economical driving mode function. ECO is an English abbreviation formed by the combination of Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving), and Optimization (power). The Eco mode is further divided into active eco driving mode and passive eco driving mode. When the ECO indicator light on the dashboard lights up, it indicates that the vehicle's economical mode has been activated. ECO mode is divided into active and passive types. The difference lies in the fact that the active type has a dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to activate it. When the driver presses the ECO mode switch, the dashboard indicator light will immediately illuminate, and the vehicle will automatically begin adjusting settings such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output power. Passive ECO mode does not have a dedicated button. When the dashboard ECO indicator light comes on, it serves merely as a reminder function. The ECO system automatically evaluates driving behavior, and if the current driving operation achieves the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will simultaneously display the ECO indicator light. Most cars use the active ECO driving mode, which means they have a dedicated switch button. Therefore, during daily driving, the ECO mode can be activated. However, it is unnecessary to enable ECO mode when the speed exceeds 120 km/h, during idle parking, in N/P gear, or in manual mode—especially when climbing hills—as this would not reflect the fuel-saving characteristics of ECO. Additionally, ECO mode typically becomes ineffective under the following circumstances: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h, the car prioritizes speed, and the ECO mode automatically deactivates. During idle parking or when in N/P gear or manual mode, ECO mode may also become ineffective. When high torque output is required, such as when climbing a hill, the engine control unit prioritizes ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the ECO mode will not function in this scenario either.

What is the reason for the flickering dashboard of the Citroen C-Quatre?

If the car is not started, it may be due to a dead battery. If the flickering occurs while the car is running, it is likely due to poor contact in the dashboard. 1. Causes: You can check the dashboard wiring harness; it might be that a connector has come loose. It is recommended to have it inspected at a 4S shop. It could also be due to prolonged use, where the contact components of the dashboard assembly and the input signals have deteriorated, or the contact plastic has aged, leading to poor contact. Replacing these parts should resolve the issue, as the dashboard assembly itself is still functional. 2. Various indicator lights on the dashboard: engine fault, airbag, water temperature, ABS, seat belt, car battery, engine oil, fuel level, door not closed properly, brake disc, handbrake, turn signal, high beam, windshield washer fluid, fog light, width light, etc.
