Why does the reversing radar beep?

If the reversing radar beeps as soon as you reverse, it is likely due to a faulty radar. It is recommended to visit a repair shop for a detailed inspection. Additional relevant information is as follows: 1. Low obstacles: Generally, obstacles that are 10~15cm below the center of the probe may be overlooked by the probe. The closer the obstacle is to the vehicle, the lower this height threshold becomes, increasing the risk. 2. Thin obstacles: Due to the narrow ultrasonic signals emitted by the radar probe, there are significant blind spots when detecting thin obstacles. Road isolation poles and diagonal steel cables on utility poles are potential hazards. 3. Trench radar: The trench radar is used to detect obstacles. If there is a trench behind the vehicle, the radar will not respond.

Is 2.3 or 2.5 More Suitable for Tire Pressure?

Both 2.3 and 2.5 are suitable for car tire pressure. Normally, the tire pressure of a car is considered normal between 2.2 and 2.5. Here is some related knowledge about car tire pressure: 1. Excessive tire pressure: Increased tire noise, more bumps on uneven roads, some impact on ride comfort, and accelerated tire wear. 2. Insufficient tire pressure: Whether the tire pressure is too high or too low, there is a risk of tire blowout, increased fuel consumption, weakened grip, affecting driving control, and even leading to poor braking performance. 3. Tire pressure adjustment: The effect of seasonal temperature changes on tire pressure can be ignored. For empty or half load, refer to the lower limit of the recommended inflation pressure sticker on the vehicle as a reference value. For full load, refer to the upper limit of the tire pressure as a reference value.
