Tire out-of-roundness can cause strong vibrations while driving. Here is some relevant information about out-of-round tires: 1. Hazards: If the front tire is affected, it will impact steering sensitivity, and the steering wheel and seat will experience very noticeable vibrations. Immediate inspection and repair are required. If caused by wheel hub deformation, it may also lead to poor tire airtightness, resulting in air leakage and pressure loss. Tires are the most critical components in a vehicle's driving system, directly related to driving safety. If a tire issue is detected, immediately stop the vehicle safely, replace it with a spare tire, or visit an auto repair shop for servicing. 2. Wheel hub replacement: The most obvious symptom caused by an out-of-round wheel hub is vehicle deviation. If the tire is out-of-round due to wheel hub deformation, the hub must be replaced and should not continue to be used as it poses a safety hazard. Dynamic balancing cannot repair a deformed wheel hub. If the wheel hub exhibits issues such as bending, cracking, or severe corrosion, it should be replaced promptly. Failure to replace a damaged wheel hub may result in the tire slipping off the hub or even lead to loss of vehicle control. However, minor scratches are generally not a significant issue, but deformation requires hub replacement.

What does it mean when it says 'Abnormal oil pressure, please turn off the engine'?

Abnormal oil pressure prompting engine shutdown is typically caused by an oil filter check valve issue. If the oil filter is ruled out, there's likely a check valve beneath the oil filter that needs replacement. Below is relevant information about oil pressure regulators: 1. Definition: The oil pressure regulator is essentially a diaphragm-controlled overflow valve. The diaphragm divides the regulator into an upper spring chamber and a lower fuel chamber. It controls the opening of the overflow valve to maintain pressure balance between the two chambers. 2. Working principle: When fuel chamber pressure exceeds the combined force of spring pressure and vacuum pressure, the diaphragm arches upward, opening the regulator valve. Some fuel then returns to the tank through the return port via the ball valve, reducing pressure. When pressure drops to the regulator's set control pressure, the ball valve closes to maintain proper pressure in the fuel line between the pump check valve and pressure regulator.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Oshan X5 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Changan Oshan X5 is 53 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the Changan Oshan X5 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Changan Oshan X5 requires 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6.0 to 6.3L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of approximately 841 to 883 kilometers. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, with additional space left between the safe fill level and the tank opening. This extra space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity.

What are the precautions when turning a car?

When turning a car, the steering wheel should be operated in accordance with the curvature of the road and coordinated with the driving speed to ensure appropriate steering angle, proper timing for turning, and timely correction of direction. It is strictly forbidden to take both hands off the steering wheel to prevent dangerous deviations in direction. More detailed information is as follows: 1. Slow down when turning: Avoid turning the steering wheel too sharply to prevent excessive centrifugal force causing the car to skid. If the car skids, immediately release the accelerator pedal and turn the steering wheel toward the side where the rear wheels are skidding. Once the vehicle resumes straight driving, correct the steering wheel and continue driving. 2. Avoid using the brakes: When turning, try to avoid using the brakes, especially emergency braking, to prevent skidding or accidents. 3. When making left or right turns at intersections, the driver must use turn signals: a) Left turn: In addition to signaling and changing lanes in advance, try to stay close to the center of the road while waiting to turn to facilitate the passage of vehicles behind. b) Right turn: In addition to merging into the outer lane in advance, use the right turn signal to alert pedestrians on the roadside. Reduce speed when turning right and be mindful of the impact of the inner wheel difference to avoid scraping pedestrians.

Can Compulsory Traffic Insurance Cover Rear-End Collision with Full Liability?

Compulsory traffic insurance can indeed cover rear-end collisions where you are fully at fault, as it is designed to compensate third-party vehicles or individuals. If the compensation amount falls within the coverage limit of the compulsory insurance, the claim can be processed directly. If the amount exceeds the coverage limit, the remaining portion can be supplemented by commercial insurance. However, if commercial insurance has not been purchased, the excess amount must be borne by the policyholder. Compulsory Traffic Insurance for Automobiles: The full name of compulsory traffic insurance is "Compulsory Motor Vehicle Traffic Accident Liability Insurance." It is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for personal injuries and property losses (excluding vehicle occupants and the insured) caused by road traffic accidents involving the insured vehicle, within the liability limits. The premium is based on the nationally unified standard rates. However, the price of compulsory insurance varies depending on the vehicle type, primarily influenced by the number of seats. Compared to the over 20 exemption clauses in commercial third-party insurance, compulsory insurance covers a much broader range, including losses caused intentionally by the victim, the insured's own property losses, related arbitration and litigation costs, and certain indirect losses from accidents. Moreover, regardless of whether the insured vehicle is at fault in the accident, compulsory insurance will provide compensation within the liability limits, with no deductible or exemption clauses. Introduction to Electronic Insurance Policies: An electronic insurance policy refers to a digital policy issued by an insurance company using digital signature software and enterprise digital certificates that comply with the PKI system, bearing the electronic signature of the insurer. An insurance policy, abbreviated as a policy, is the formal written proof of the insurance contract between the insurer and the insured. It must fully document the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties. The content recorded in the policy serves as the basis for both parties to fulfill the contract. The policy is proof of the establishment of the insurance contract. Advantages of Electronic Insurance Policies: Saves paper resources, eliminating the need to print insurance proof labels; Time-saving and convenient, unrestricted by time or location, with information readily accessible online anytime, quickly and efficiently; Allows for reissuance and resending, eliminating concerns about loss. If a paper version is needed offline, it can be printed or mailed; Simplifies management, as the electronic standardization makes it easier for insurance companies and traffic police departments to manage vehicle insurance information.
