Changing from 165 tires to 185 has the following effects: 1. Increased fuel consumption and noise; 2. The tires may rub against the wheel hub when turning the steering wheel to the limit; 3. It affects the calculation and display of mileage. Changing from 165 tires to 185 increases the width of the tires, resulting in a larger contact area with the ground. This increases the friction between the tire and the road during driving, improving the vehicle's handling, especially during cornering, where the tires can provide better grip. When modifying tire width or aspect ratio, it is important to remember a crucial data range: the diameter error value of the modified tires should be controlled within ±3% of the original tires. Exceeding this range can lead to reduced vehicle handling, longer braking distances, and abnormal noises caused by the front tires rubbing against the wheel arches during turns.

What to do if you forget to bring your driver's license?

Here are solutions for forgetting your driver's license: 1. You can input your driver's license information in the Alipay mobile app to find the electronic driver's license, then a page for vehicle owner services will pop up for direct binding. 2. If you forget to carry your driver's license and encounter a traffic police check for the vehicle license and driver's license, you can provide your driver's license number (ID number) for the police to verify. Currently, many cities allow this situation without penalty or fines. However, if you forget your driver's license, the electronic version is only valid when there are no traffic accidents. The two essential documents for driving are the driver's license and vehicle license, which effectively prove that the car is legally and compliantly on the road.

What does the M gear in an automatic car mean?

Automatic transmission cars' M gear stands for manual mode. The related introduction is as follows: 1. The M gear is the abbreviation of the English word 'manual', meaning manual mode. When the car is shifted into M gear, it enters manual mode, which means the automatic transmission is equipped with an electronic control device, and the transmission will follow the driver's commands to shift up or down. 2. In M gear mode, the driver can perform manual shifting operations. In manual mode, the transmission will not automatically shift up or down. After switching to M gear, the transmission is not restricted by the gear lock and will automatically match the gear according to the real-time vehicle speed. 3. The manual mode of a car is generally used in situations such as going up or down slopes, overtaking, starting on icy or snowy roads, and idling in traffic jams.

Why is the reversing image mirrored left and right?

The reason for the reversing image being mirrored left and right is that the front-view camera was mistakenly installed at the rear of the car during the installation of the reversing camera. The steps to correct this are as follows: 1. First, locate the reversing image settings in the system and engage the reverse gear. 2. Click into the settings and find the reversing mirror function. 3. Turn it off to restore the normal reversing camera. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Some car models support the mirror function in the vehicle system settings, and it might have been accidentally turned on. 2. This system provides a more intuitive and clear view of the rear situation when reversing, making it one of the most practical configurations for reversing safety. When the reverse gear is engaged, the system automatically activates the high-definition reversing camera located at the rear of the car, displaying the rear situation clearly on the reversing LCD screen.

What is the negative electrode material of ternary lithium batteries?

Ternary lithium batteries generally use graphite for the negative electrode. Graphite has a layered structure, which can accommodate lithium atoms. The positive electrode of ternary lithium batteries is made of ternary materials. Some ternary lithium batteries use nickel, cobalt, and manganese for the positive electrode. The following are related introductions about ternary lithium batteries: 1. Ternary lithium batteries have relatively high energy density, and their low-temperature performance is also relatively good. However, the safety of these batteries is not very good. Ternary lithium batteries start to burn at 200 degrees Celsius, which is why we sometimes see pure electric vehicles catching fire or exploding. 2. There is a separator in lithium batteries that allows lithium ions to pass through but not electrons. Therefore, electrons can only travel through the external circuit. When electrons pass through the external circuit, current is generated in the internal and external circuits.

How to Defog the Car's Front Windshield?

The reason for fogging on the car's windshield is the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle. The higher temperature inside the cabin compared to the outside causes moisture in the cabin to condense on the inner surface of the windshield, forming fog. Here are methods to defog the car's front windshield: 1. Open the windows; use a defogging spray. 2. Turn on the car's heater; activate the car's defogging function. 3. Apply a mixture of dish soap and water or soapy water to the window; place a dehumidifier box inside the car. 4. Wipe with a towel; adjust the fan speed appropriately and turn on the cooling switch. Here are preventive measures to avoid windshield fogging: 1. Use specialized defogging products before driving. 2. Utilize the air conditioning's cooling and dehumidifying functions to reduce air humidity.

What does it mean when the transmission is not in P gear?

The transmission not being in P gear means the gear lever has not been shifted to the P position. When you stop and open the door, you will receive such a prompt as a safety precaution. Engaging P gear before the car comes to a complete stop can subject the transmission's locking function to significant pressure, which may cause considerable damage to the transmission over time. Excessive force could potentially lead to transmission failure, so this operation is not recommended. Below is relevant information: 1. There are two key points to note when parking an automatic transmission car: (1) Do not shift into P gear while the engine is running. (2) Apply the handbrake first, then shift into P gear, allowing the force to act on the handbrake rather than the transmission. 2. The correct parking method: (1) When stopping the car, first decelerate, press the brake, and shift into N gear. The reason for not directly switching to P gear before turning off the engine is to avoid the transmission passing through R gear while the engine is running, thereby reducing an impact. (2) Turn off the engine. At this point, the power will not be cut off because P gear has not been engaged, and the key cannot be removed. (3) Tighten the handbrake and release the foot brake.
