The tire models for minivans mainly consist of two types: 165/70R13 and 195/70R15. The first number, 165, represents the tire width of 165MM. The 70 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 70%, meaning the section height is 70% of the width. The letter R stands for radial tire, and 13 denotes the rim diameter of 13 inches. In addition to the model, tires also display the following common data: Tire cord material: Indicated by Chinese pinyin, such as M-cotton cord, R-rayon cord, N-nylon cord, G-steel cord, ZG-steel radial cord. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Letters from A to Z represent certified speed ratings ranging from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h. Rim specification: Shows the rim specifications compatible with the tire for practical use, such as standard rim 5.00F.

What is the wading capability of the Model 3?

The wading capability of the Model 3 depends on its maximum wading depth, which is 138mm. The wading depth of the Model 3 is determined by the height of the vehicle's chassis, also known as the ground clearance listed in the model's parameter configuration. Generally, the greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when driving through waterlogged roads. Therefore, in terms of safe wading depth, SUVs and off-road vehicles have obvious advantages. However, for most compact and small cars with low chassis, the position of the vehicle's air intake should be used as a benchmark when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake of the Model 3 is below the water level during wading, water will be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it can cause severe damage to the engine's mechanical components (such as connecting rods, pistons, crankshafts, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth must not exceed the height of the engine's air intake. Installing a snorkel can increase the height of the engine's air intake, thereby improving the maximum wading depth. If wading is unavoidable, the following safe and correct operations should be performed: Before driving through water, always turn off the auto start-stop function to prevent the engine from automatically restarting after stalling in water, which could lead to severe engine damage due to water ingress. Assess the underwater road conditions based on the passage of vehicles ahead and choose an appropriate entry point. Observe the path taken by other vehicles and follow their tracks at a low speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration. On roads prone to water accumulation, use warning water level markers, trees, or other vehicles' wheels and doors as reference points to estimate the water depth before deciding whether to proceed. Know your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half the tire height or the engine's air intake level, avoid entering the water and choose an alternative route.

What Causes the Car to Shake When Accelerating in Third Gear?

Analysis of Car Shaking During Acceleration: 1. Cold Start Shaking: The primary reason for car shaking during a cold start is incomplete fuel combustion, leading to insufficient power. Low ignition energy requires more throttle input to meet power demands during startup, especially when fuel and lubricant temperatures are low. Over time, the spark plug gap gradually widens, reducing ignition energy and causing poor fuel atomization, which results in car shaking. Additionally, aging ignition coils or spark plug high-voltage wires, as well as electrical leakage, can also reduce ignition energy. 2. Shock Absorber System Issues: Car shaking can also be related to aging shock absorbers. These components are responsible for filtering out engine vibrations during operation. If the shock absorbers fail, these vibrations can directly transmit to the steering wheel and cabin, affecting driving. When the engine is idling, turning on electrical systems inside the car can easily cause shaking. The engine load increases due to the electrical systems, causing the idle speed to drop. To compensate for this, the engine automatically raises the RPM slightly. Therefore, when electrical systems, especially the air conditioning, are turned on, the engine often shakes. This shaking is likely due to aging shock absorbers and requires timely replacement. 3. Tire Issues: When replacing tires or rims, it's essential to perform tire balancing. Otherwise, uneven weight distribution can cause the steering wheel to shake. If uneven weight distribution is detected, lead weights should be added to the inner side of the rim to balance the tire weights. Both standard steel rims and lightweight aluminum rims can deform or crack under certain external forces. Deformed rims can cause shaking while driving, as can uneven rim weight distribution or incorrect rim angles. 4. Throttle Issues: The most common cause of car shaking is a dirty throttle or excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors. After driving a certain distance, a dirty throttle may not close properly or may get stuck, causing high idle speed. Carbon buildup in the engine can also lead to car shaking, especially during startup, when the engine shakes more violently than usual or even fails to start on the first try. Therefore, when the car shakes, the throttle and fuel injectors should be inspected first. If they are dirty or have excessive carbon buildup, they should be cleaned promptly with throttle or injector cleaners. 5. Unstable Oil Pressure: If the engine carbon has been cleaned, the throttle washed, and the gaskets replaced, but the car still shakes, it's recommended to check the fuel supply pressure and the intake pressure sensor at a repair shop. Abnormal fuel pump pressure or incorrect intake pressure sensor readings can also cause car shaking.

Do Hybrid Vehicles Count as New Energy Vehicles?

Most hybrid vehicles are classified as new energy vehicles, but conventional hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) do not fall under this category. HEV models cannot obtain green license plates; they are categorized as fuel-powered vehicles rather than new energy vehicles, thus requiring blue license plates. Below is an introduction to HEVs: 1. The most significant feature of HEVs is that they do not require external charging. 2. Their operation is identical to conventional fuel-powered vehicles, with relatively small battery capacity and motor power, serving only as auxiliary support to the engine. 3. HEVs reduce fuel consumption through kinetic energy recovery during braking and appropriately reducing engine load.

What does DSP mean?

In automotive audio and navigation systems, DSP stands for "Digital Signal Processor". Here is more information about digital signal processors: 1. A digital signal processor is a digital audio signal processing device. 2. It first converts multi-channel input analog signals into digital signals, then performs a series of tunable algorithmic processing on the digital signals to meet application requirements such as improving sound quality, matrix mixing, noise cancellation, echo cancellation, and feedback elimination. Finally, it outputs multi-channel analog signals through digital-to-analog conversion. 3. DSP is a distortion control technology used in many audio systems, which can analyze the audio source signal more accurately, making the playback sound more distinct in bass and vocals.

What Causes a Car to Fail to Start After Automatic Shutdown?

There are several main reasons why a car may fail to start after automatic shutdown: throttle failure, fuel pump not supplying fuel, timing belt breakage, and coolant temperature sensor failure. When the throttle position sensor malfunctions, the data received by the sensor becomes inaccurate, typically leading to excessively high engine idle speed and causing the engine to shut down. If the car suddenly fails to start, it's important to check whether there is any sound from the fuel pump inside the fuel tank under the rear seat during ignition. If the fuel pump malfunctions, it will cause issues with fuel supply, leading to insufficient fuel delivery, which naturally results in engine shutdown.

How often should the shock absorbers on the Sylphy be replaced?

The shock absorbers on the Sylphy should be replaced when they are damaged, as they are not wear-and-tear parts and do not require regular replacement. Shock absorbers are used to dampen the oscillations from the rebound of springs after absorbing shocks and impacts from the road. When driving on uneven roads, although the shock-absorbing springs can filter out road vibrations, the springs themselves still have reciprocating motion, and the shock absorbers are designed to suppress this spring bouncing. The 14th-generation Sylphy has body dimensions of 4641mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1450mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2712mm. It is equipped with an all-aluminum inline four-cylinder engine and a CVT intelligent continuously variable transmission.
