Car tires are made of rubber and do not normally catch fire during regular driving. However, when exposed to high temperatures, friction, emergency braking, towing, and other similar conditions, a significant amount of heat energy can be generated. If the tire reaches its ignition point, it may catch fire. Below are some relevant details: Exposure to open flames: Ensure that you do not intentionally expose tires to open flames. If a tire comes into contact with an open flame, especially in the presence of gasoline, it will certainly ignite. Excessive friction: Additionally, when driving your car, try to avoid prolonged or overly aggressive braking on long downhill slopes. Excessive friction between the tire and the road surface can generate too much heat, causing the tire to reach its ignition point. If the tire's temperature is not promptly reduced, it may result in spontaneous combustion.

Where is the high-pressure fuel pump located in the Corolla?

The high-pressure fuel pump in the Corolla is located inside the fuel tank. Here is an introduction to the high-pressure fuel pump: Function: It draws fuel from the fuel tank, pressurizes it, and delivers it to the fuel supply line, working in conjunction with the fuel pressure regulator to establish a certain fuel pressure. Structure: The high-pressure fuel pump consists of an electric motor, a pressure limiter, and a check valve. The electric motor actually operates within the fuel inside the pump housing, but there is no need to worry, as there are no ignition sources inside the housing. The fuel lubricates and cools the motor. A check valve is installed at the fuel outlet, and the pressure limiter is located on the pressure side of the pump housing, featuring a passage leading back to the fuel inlet.

What does Nissan's first and second maintenance mean?

Nissan's first and second maintenance refers to the car's first maintenance (first maintenance) and second maintenance (second maintenance), which means the first and second oil and oil filter changes for the car. Of course, depending on the mileage and time, there may also be other maintenance items such as replacing the air conditioning filter and air filter, but it mainly refers to the process of changing the oil and oil filter. Below are the specific details: 1. First maintenance time: The first maintenance time for a new car is usually based on the mileage and the specified first maintenance time, generally 5000 kilometers or 6 months. However, some brand 4S stores have shortened the customer maintenance cycle to remind customers of the maintenance period of 3000 kilometers or 3 months, with the two values being whichever comes first. 2. Car maintenance: Cars need regular maintenance to inspect various parts of the car and replace the oil and oil filter. During driving, various parts of the car are in a high-speed operating state, which can easily cause minor wear and tear, especially the parts inside the engine, which are under high-temperature working conditions for a long time. The friction between parts requires timely replacement of oil and oil filter. The oil can reduce the working temperature inside the engine and reduce the friction loss between parts. The oil filter needs to be replaced regularly as impurities in the oil can easily clog the oil filter. After regular maintenance, the normal service life of the car and engine can be extended, ensuring safe driving.
