Low tire pressure in cars can lead to increased fuel consumption, tire blowouts, and other effects. The following are the impacts of low tire pressure: 1. Increased fuel consumption: The friction coefficient with the road surface increases, leading to higher fuel consumption. 2. Tire overheating: The movement of various parts of the tire increases. Excessive rolling can cause abnormal overheating of the tire. 3. Tire blowouts: The friction between the tire and the ground increases, causing the tire temperature to rise sharply, making the tire softer and significantly reducing its strength. When driving at high speeds, this may lead to tire blowouts. 4. Shortened tire lifespan: Insufficient tire pressure increases the deformation of the tire body, causing cracks on the tire sidewalls, generating flexing movements, leading to overheating, rubber aging, accelerated shoulder wear, and ultimately shortening the tire's lifespan.

What Causes a Car Door to Not Lock and Automatically Bounce Back?

The reasons why a car door cannot lock and automatically bounces back may include the following: 1. Insufficient lubrication of the door lock mechanism: Lubricating oil should be added to each door lock mechanism. 2. Weak central control motor: Check which motor is faulty and replace it. 3. The push rod length of the central control motor is not adjusted properly. Other faults that may cause the car door not to lock include: 1. Battery or key failure: The car key fob relies on battery power, which does not last forever. 2. Fuse blown: A blown fuse may be the reason why the car door cannot be locked. A blown fuse can damage the locking mechanism of a single door, while other doors may open and close normally.

What causes abnormal noise from the car wheels?

Possible causes of abnormal noise from car wheels: 1. Loose tires due to insufficient tightening torque; 2. Damaged tire bolts; 3. Tire bulges; 4. Abnormal wheel bearings; 5. Abnormal drive shafts or foreign object entanglement; 6. Wheel noise often originates from components like wheel bearings, inner/outer CV joints, tie rod ends, or control arms. Related information: Early wear of wheel bearings can cause sharp noises with distinct characteristics: noise frequency increases with vehicle speed, and is unrelated to engine RPM, transmission gear, or clutch status. When wheel noise occurs, promptly inspect and repair at the nearest facility. Tires are crucial vehicle components, so timely inspection and maintenance is advised. It's recommended to choose professional repair shops for maintenance.

Why is CarPlay only charging but not responding?

CarPlay only charging but not responding may be caused by damaged data cables, system lag, errors, etc., which can prevent the connection. Below are specific explanations for CarPlay only charging but not responding: 1. Check the connection mode: First, check the phone's connection mode. When connecting to devices like computers or cars, the phone usually activates developer mode. Developer mode typically includes options such as 'Charge only', 'File transfer', and 'USB debugging'. Pull down the notification bar or enter the settings to find the developer mode and check if the phone is in 'Charge only' status. 2. Sudden connection failure: If the connection suddenly fails, it is likely due to a damaged data cable. Issues like broken cables, loose connections, or poor contact can prevent CarPlay from connecting properly. In this case, try replacing the data cable and reconnect.
