Impact on the body and electrical system: Effects on tires, rims, brake bearings, body, and electrical system. Here are the relevant details: 1. Impact on tires and rims: Driving over potholes at high speed can easily cause tire damage. It may lead to bulges, deformation, or even punctures in severe cases. 2. Impact on brake bearings: The sudden impact from high-speed pothole encounters can affect the bearings inside the brakes. This may result in loose wheels and regular abnormal noises during subsequent driving. 3. Impact on the body and electrical system: Severe vibrations can cause varying degrees of deformation to the car body. This includes cracking or loosening of interior and exterior trims, as well as deformation of electronic circuit boards and connectors inside the car, leading to open circuits, poor connections, or short circuits.

What type of gasoline should the Roewe RX5 use?

The Roewe RX5 requires gasoline with an octane rating of 92 or higher. Below are some important considerations regarding refueling: 1. Do not use low-octane gasoline: Using low-octane fuel can cause severe damage to the engine and catalytic converter, reduce engine power and torque, and increase fuel consumption. If low-octane gasoline is used, you may hear engine knocking noises. In such cases, switch to the recommended octane rating or higher as soon as possible. 2. Unusual noises when using the recommended octane gasoline: If you still hear severe knocking noises after using the recommended octane rating or higher, immediately visit an authorized after-sales service center for inspection. 3. High-octane gasoline: Using gasoline with a higher octane rating than required by the engine is permissible, but it does not provide any advantages in terms of engine output power or fuel consumption.

How to Check Tire Pressure Data with TPMS?

The methods to check tire pressure data with TPMS: 1. For models equipped with indirect TPMS, there will be no numerical tire pressure display, only an alarm prompt. To check the tire pressure data, you can use an external tire pressure gauge. Remove the tire valve cap, press the tire pressure gauge nozzle firmly against the valve, and the tire pressure data will appear; 2. Vehicles equipped with direct TPMS can directly view the tire pressure data on the in-car display screen; 3. For vehicles with direct TPMS, when low tire pressure or a tire pressure sensor malfunction occurs, the problematic tire on the screen's car model will flash, accompanied by two symbols marked on the dashboard to assist in reminding the driver to check the tire pressure and temperature status.

Where is the three-way catalytic converter located?

The three-way catalytic converter is located at the front end of the engine exhaust pipe, between the front and rear oxygen sensors. The function of the three-way catalytic converter is to convert harmful gases such as CO (carbon monoxide), HC (hydrocarbons), and NOx (nitrogen oxides) emitted from vehicle exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction reactions. Because this catalytic converter can simultaneously transform the three major harmful substances in exhaust gases into harmless substances, it is called a three-way catalytic converter. After prolonged use, substances such as carbon deposits in the exhaust gas may adhere to the porous ceramic carrier of the catalytic converter, leading to a risk of clogging over time. If the three-way catalytic converter becomes clogged, it can only be restored to optimal performance through cleaning.
