Tires serve the following functions: 1. Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle, bearing the load of the car, and transmitting forces and moments in other directions; 2. Transmitting traction and braking torque to ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, thereby improving the car's power performance, braking performance, and passability; 3. Working together with the car suspension to mitigate the impact during driving and dampen generated vibrations; 4. Preventing severe vibrations and early damage to car components, adapting to the vehicle's high-speed performance, and reducing driving noise. Tires are circular elastic rubber products assembled on various vehicles or machinery for ground rolling, usually mounted on metal rims.

What should be the first maintenance interval for the Corolla Hybrid?

The first maintenance for the Corolla Hybrid should be performed at 3 months or 5,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. The engine has a break-in period with a new car, and different brands and models are equipped with different engines. Some engines use special technologies that require strict oil specifications, while others are made of special materials with high precision, resulting in relatively less wear. More information about the first maintenance for new cars is as follows: 1. The first maintenance time for a new car is usually determined by either the mileage or the specified time interval, whichever comes first. Therefore, even if the mileage is not sufficient, the first maintenance should still be performed on time. Otherwise, the 4S store may claim that the standard has not been met, leading to the information not being entered into the national warranty system, resulting in loss of warranty coverage. 2. To avoid this situation, car owners should confirm the first maintenance time and mileage for their vehicles.

Can Regular Cars Be Equipped with Run-Flat Tires?

Regular cars can be equipped with run-flat tires. The function of run-flat tires is to allow the vehicle to continue driving at a certain speed for a period of time even when the tire pressure is insufficient or there is a leak, supported by the reinforced sidewalls of the tire. Reasons why run-flat tires are "run-flat": The thickened rubber sidewalls can support the weight of the vehicle even when air pressure is lost, preventing severe deformation. Precautions for replacing run-flat tires: 1. Regularly rotate the tires; 2. Avoid speeding to slow down the aging of the rubber; 3. Use standard tire pressure, as both overinflation and underinflation can cause excessive tire wear; 4. When replacing tires, perform a dynamic balance test before installation.

What National Emission Standard Does the Baojun 560 Belong To?

The Baojun 560 models currently available on the market all comply with the National V emission standard. Below is additional information: 1. Exterior: The DCT version of the Baojun 560 retains the same design as the previously released Rhythmic Edition. The three-bar chrome grille connects with the headlights, and the extensive use of curved lines gives the front fascia a stylish and approachable look. As an SUV primarily designed for family use, the Baojun 560 avoids the sharp, angular lines favored by many SUVs. The clean and elegant rear design, along with dynamic alloy wheels, ensures the Baojun 560 doesn’t look outdated but rather exudes a contemporary flair. The 7-seater version maintains the same wheelbase of 2750mm, but the body length has been increased by 50mm, marking a significant improvement. 2. Interior: The layout is predominantly horizontal, with wood grain trim and chrome accents to elevate the cabin’s premium feel. Additionally, the infotainment screen has been upgraded to a trendy floating design, while the steering wheel now features a sporty flat-bottom style. A clock has also been added below the infotainment screen, making the interior more upscale and youthful. 3. Features: The DCT version of the Baojun 560 continues the brand’s tradition of generous equipment, including standard features like auto-hold, keyless entry, and one-touch start. Safety features such as the VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control) system and hill-start assist are also included. Higher trim levels come with additional safety features like a tire pressure monitoring system and a 360-degree camera, highlighting Baojun’s emphasis on safety. Premium features such as a panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, automatic climate control, and a Harman Infinity sound system are available on the flagship model, making the Baojun 560 stand out for its value in the compact SUV segment.

How to Open the Car Fuel Filler Cap?

The outer cover of the car fuel filler cap opens and closes synchronously with the driver's door (some fuel cap switches are located above the driver's left foot or near the left heel). The spiral cap of the fuel tank is tightened clockwise and loosened counterclockwise. Below are three methods to open the fuel filler cap: 1. Mechanical Key Opening: The method of using a key to open the fuel tank door for refueling is quite old and relatively complex to use, so it is rarely seen in household cars nowadays. In the past, this method was commonly found in models like the old Xiali and Songhuajiang minivans, but some vehicles such as the Wrangler, GL8, and Santana still use it. 2. In-Car Switch Opening: The in-car switch is currently the most common method to open the fuel tank door, being more convenient compared to the key method. However, this method also has a drawback: some careless drivers might forget to turn off the engine before refueling, which is very dangerous. Always remember to turn off the engine first before refueling. 3. Push-Button Opening: The push-button method to open the fuel tank door is currently the most convenient. The owner only needs to park the car, and the fuel attendant can directly refuel. The push-button fuel tank door is linked to the vehicle's central locking system. Note that the fuel tank door cannot be opened when the vehicle is locked; it can only be opened normally after unlocking.

Where should the ETC be installed?

For small cars, the ETC is generally installed in the upper middle part of the front windshield, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, it is installed in the lower middle part. The appropriate installation position should be no lower than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 and 90 degrees. For vehicles with factory-installed or aftermarket explosion-proof film, which may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, the ETC should be installed in the microwave skylight zone. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection. To apply for an ETC, you need to provide the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID and vehicle registration certificate. If the application is not made by the owner, a valid ID of the agent is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page stamped with the most recent annual inspection. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway tolls is required, and the vehicle must be registered under the name of an individual aged between 18 and 60. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have windshields with a large rearward tilt, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it can increase the driver's blind spots. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can help avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it arbitrarily: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If the tag is removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing a single device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent issues caused by the ETC device of the vehicle in front, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle ahead to avoid automatic toll deduction for the wrong vehicle. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 km/h; driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information and lead to toll deduction failure. If a debit card is linked to the ETC, insufficient balance may also cause toll deduction failure.
