The Elantra has two tire size specifications: 225/45R17 and 205/55R16. In 225/45R17, the first number 225 represents the tire width of 225MM, 45 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire cross-section is 45%, meaning the cross-section height is 45% of the width, and 17 denotes the rim diameter of 17 inches. The letter "R" in the middle stands for radial tire. In 205/55R16, the first number 205 represents the tire width of 205MM, 55 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire cross-section is 55%, meaning the cross-section height is 55% of the width, and 16 denotes the rim diameter of 16 inches. The letter "R" in the middle stands for radial tire. The Elantra's tires are from the brand Nexen and feature a five-spoke aluminum alloy wheel design, with a non-full-size spare tire. If you want to change the tires yourself, follow these steps: Take out the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the vehicle frame near the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack contacts the metal part of the frame; Raise the jack until it supports the car, making sure the jack is positioned under the vehicle and forms a right angle with the ground; Remove the hubcap, loosen the nuts counterclockwise, but do not fully unscrew them—just enough to eliminate resistance. Keeping the tire on the ground when first loosening the nuts ensures the nuts turn instead of the tire; Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they come off, repeat this step for all lug nuts, and completely remove the nuts; Place the new tire on the hub, carefully aligning the tire rim with the wheel bolts, install the lug nuts, and hand-tighten them until all nuts are snug. The tire replacement is now complete. Besides the model, tires also display the following common data: Tire cord material: Indicated by Pinyin, such as M for cotton cord, R for rayon cord, N for nylon cord, G for steel cord, ZG for steel radial cord tires. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Letters A to Z represent certified speed ratings 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 current refrigerant used in air conditioners?

Currently, air conditioners use R22 Freon refrigerant and R410 environmentally friendly refrigerant. Common knowledge for air conditioner maintenance and cleaning is as follows: 1. Pre-operation maintenance: Typically, household air conditioners are turned off after September and not used again until May or June of the following year, remaining idle for over half a year. Therefore, a comprehensive inspection must be conducted before turning on the air conditioner to check for any issues. Based on the inspection results, and under the guidance of professional technicians, thorough maintenance and cleaning should be performed, covering the exterior shell, body, and filter screens of both the outdoor and indoor units. After this, a trial operation should be conducted to observe the cooling speed and effectiveness. 2. Maintenance during operation: After the air conditioner is turned on, the frequency of maintenance depends on various factors such as environmental conditions, climate, operating hours, surrounding dust levels, air cleanliness, and the cleanliness of the room. Poor environmental conditions, hot weather, older air conditioners, and extended operating hours will increase the need for maintenance, typically once every month and a half. If environmental conditions are good, the air conditioner is relatively new, dust levels are low, and the air conditioner is used reasonably—alternating with electric fans—the maintenance cycle can be appropriately extended, requiring only 1–2 maintenance sessions from startup to shutdown. Maintenance should be thorough and meticulous, leaving no dead spots, to ensure compliance with standards, improve cooling speed and effectiveness, and achieve energy efficiency, freshness, and comfort. 3. Post-operation maintenance: As the weather warms up, air conditioners are turned on, and as it cools down, they are turned off—this is a perennial pattern. Before shutting down the air conditioner, a comprehensive and careful inspection of both the outdoor and indoor units should be conducted. For high-quality split units and cabinet units from well-known brands, special attention should be given to ensure optimal energy-saving performance.
