The causes of tire blowouts on highways are: 1. Overly tightened brakes, causing the brake pads to generate heat due to friction during driving, leading to a blowout; 2. Insufficient tire inflation, resulting in prolonged friction with the ground and heat buildup, which can cause a blowout. Methods for tire maintenance include: 1. Regularly cleaning out stones stuck in tire treads; 2. Reducing exposure to direct sunlight; 3. Promptly checking tire pressure; 4. Paying attention to suspension maintenance; 5. Regularly inspecting front wheel alignment; 6. Being mindful of driving habits. The functions of tires are: 1. Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle and bearing the load; 2. Transmitting traction and braking torque to ensure adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; 3. Absorbing and reducing vibrations and impacts during driving, preventing severe vibrations and premature damage to vehicle components; 4. Enhancing high-speed performance, reducing noise during driving, and ensuring safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.

What to Do When Your Car Runs Out of Engine Oil on the Highway?

Safety park the car on the emergency stopping lane, use your phone to locate nearby gas stations, and contact them to deliver oil. After parking, call a friend, provide the exact location, and ask them to bring oil. Alternatively, siphon some oil from a friend's car as an emergency measure. You can call a tow truck to tow your car to a gas station, though towing fees are generally high. Alternatively, consider asking a friend to help tow your car to the nearest gas station.

What to Do When Your Car Gets Scratched in a Residential Parking Lot?

If your car gets scratched, the dashcam might have captured the other party involved. The car owner can then seek assistance from traffic police with the video evidence. When parking, try to park in a formal parking lot with management personnel. Generally, formal parking lots are equipped with surveillance facilities, making it possible to identify the responsible party through the footage. Since the residential property management charges parking fees, they also bear responsibility for vehicle damage. In most cases, the property management will address the issue if the car owner approaches them.

What to Do When the Car Makes a Clunking Sound Upon Accelerating?

Alternatively, if the components are severely worn, they may produce abnormal noises when they fail to cooperate smoothly during friction. It is necessary to troubleshoot and perform timely repairs. Loose parts on the chassis may collide with the car body, causing noise. Lift the vehicle to inspect the chassis. Prolonged lack of maintenance on the throttle may cause it to interfere with other parts of the vehicle, resulting in abnormal sounds. Perform timely cleaning and maintenance on the throttle. It is advisable to visit a 4S shop for a comprehensive inspection and enhance the vehicle's maintenance.

How to align the timing marks for the camshaft of the Changan 474 engine?

Rotate the crankshaft vibration damper pulley clockwise so that the notch on the crankshaft vibration damper pulley aligns with the mark on the lower timing belt cover. Use a crankshaft timing gear wrench to turn the crankshaft vibration damper pulley clockwise. Loosen the fixing nut, release the timing tensioner, and remove the timing belt. Use an exhaust timing gear fixing tool to adjust the position of the exhaust camshaft. Rotate the intake/exhaust timing gears fully to the right so that the mark on the exhaust timing gear aligns with the yellow mark on the timing belt.

How Many Major Systems Does a Car Have?

Cars are divided into five major systems: the fuel supply system, the starting system, the cooling system, the lubrication system, and the ignition system. Below are their respective introductions: Fuel Supply System: Composed of the air intake, fuel supply system, and electronic control system. It prepares a certain quantity and concentration of the air-fuel mixture according to the engine's requirements, supplies it to the cylinders, and expels the exhaust gases from the cylinders into the atmosphere. Starting System: Composed of the battery, starting control and transmission mechanism, and starter. The process from when the crankshaft begins to rotate under external force until the engine starts to idle automatically is called engine starting. The devices required to complete this process are collectively referred to as the engine starting system. Cooling System: Composed of the water pump, radiator, fan, water jacket, and thermostat. It dissipates part of the heat absorbed by the heated components in a timely manner. Lubrication System: Composed of the oil pump, oil filter, oil cooler, and oil strainer. It delivers a certain amount of clean lubricating oil to the surfaces of moving parts to achieve liquid friction, reduce frictional resistance, minimize wear on components, and clean and cool the surfaces of the parts. Ignition System: Composed of the battery, generator, ignition coil, distributor, and spark plug. The combustible mixture in the cylinder is ignited by an electric spark. The gasoline engine's cylinder head is equipped with a spark plug, the tip of which extends into the combustion chamber, capable of generating an electric spark between the spark plug electrodes at the right time.

What to Do When the Front Wheel Falls Below the Curb?

At this point, get out of the car and check. If there is a point of leverage, shift into R gear and reverse the car out. If the front wheel is suspended in the air, place stones behind the wheel and steer to reverse the car out. Warning to drivers: When the front wheel of a front-wheel-drive vehicle falls off the roadbed and cannot move, first try steering toward the side of the dropped wheel while reversing.
