The original tires on the Emgrand GL are Giti tires, with a size of 205/55R16, and the spare tire is a non-full-size spare. Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly contacting the road surface and working with the car's suspension to mitigate the impact during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving. The Emgrand GL's body dimensions are 4725 mm in length, 1802 mm in width, and 1478 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700 mm. The Emgrand GL features front-wheel drive, with a front suspension type of MacPherson independent front suspension with a stabilizer bar, and a rear suspension type of torsion beam non-independent suspension. The body structure is of a unibody design.

The original tires on my Emgrand GL are from Giti. When I picked up the car last year, I noticed the sidewall was marked with 'Giti,' belonging to the Comfort series. They provide a stable ride with minimal noise. I mainly use the car for commuting, and tires are crucial for driving safety, especially on wet roads after rain—braking performance relies heavily on them. After driving 5,000 kilometers, I went for maintenance, and the technician said the original tires have a long lifespan, recommending checking tire pressure and wear every two months. I’ve since developed a habit of inspecting them myself to replace any damage promptly. The original tires are designed to match the vehicle’s characteristics, and Geely chose Giti for their cost-effectiveness. With proper maintenance, they can last 70,000 to 80,000 kilometers without issues, making them a worry-free choice.

How to Drive a Volkswagen with Tiptronic Transmission?

To drive a Volkswagen with Tiptronic transmission, follow these steps: 1. Press the brake pedal and pull the gear lever downward to engage the drive (D) position. 2. Push the gear lever to the right to enter manual mode. 3. When shifting gears, push the lever forward to upshift and pull it backward to downshift. 4. Note that you cannot upshift if the vehicle speed and engine RPM are insufficient, as gear changes require approval from the transmission control unit. Generally, automatic transmission vehicles have the following gear positions: P, R, N, D, and S: 1. P (Parking) - The gear lever must be in P position when parking the vehicle. 2. R (Reverse) - Used for reversing. 3. N (Neutral) - Equivalent to neutral, used when starting the engine, temporary stops with the driver remaining in the vehicle, or during towing. 4. D (Drive) - For normal driving, place the gear lever in D position, allowing the vehicle to automatically shift between forward gears. D is the most commonly used position. 5. S (Sport) - Activates the vehicle's sport mode. In S mode, the transmission can shift freely but delays shifting to keep the engine at higher RPMs for extended periods, allowing the vehicle to maintain lower gears at higher speeds for increased torque output and acceleration.

What is the purpose of adjusting valve clearance in a car engine?

The purpose of adjusting valve clearance in a car engine is to compensate for the thermal expansion of the valves. When the engine is running, the valves expand due to the increase in temperature. If there is no gap or the gap is too small between the valves and their transmission components in the cold state, the thermal expansion of the valves and their transmission components will inevitably cause the valves to not close tightly in the hot state. Valve clearance is divided into cold clearance and hot clearance. Hot clearance is slightly smaller than cold clearance, and the clearance measured in the cold state of the engine is the cold clearance. Generally, the cold clearance of the intake valve is between 0.08 to 0.10 millimeters, and the cold clearance of the exhaust valve is around 0.10 to 0.12 millimeters. Adjustment should be strictly carried out according to the clearance specified in the manual. The inspection and adjustment of valve clearance must be performed when both the intake and exhaust valves are completely closed. When the piston is at the top dead center of the compression stroke, the intake and exhaust valves are exactly completely closed, so the valve clearance must be adjusted when it is at the top dead center. The adjustment of valve clearance should be performed when the engine is in the cold state. It is strictly forbidden to adjust the clearance when the engine is running. For a twin-cylinder engine, inspection and adjustment should be carried out cylinder by cylinder.

How to open the trunk from inside the Tayron?

The trunk switch of the Tayron is located on the door panel of the driver's side door. Press this switch to open the trunk lid. The functions of the car trunk are mainly reflected in the following aspects: 1. A fully equipped toolkit. The spare tire, jack, headlight tools, warning triangle, first aid kit, etc., in the trunk are generally standard equipment on cars, but many models are not fully equipped. In fact, the first aid kit and warning triangle should be included in these configurations, as they are related to driving safety and emergency assistance. 2. Luggage storage net. When driving, sometimes you may encounter the problem of small, scattered items or fragile items that cannot be placed properly. No matter how neatly they are arranged, you still have to rearrange them when getting off the car, and there is even a risk of them being damaged by bumps. With a luggage storage net in the trunk, these worries and unnecessary losses can be avoided. 3. Luggage compartment partition. Most hatchbacks, SUVs, and some MPV models have a partition in the trunk area, which is an original factory-installed accessory. After the vehicle leaves the factory, an installation position will be reserved in this area. With the partition in place, even without a rearview camera, you won't have to blindly reverse; in case of an emergency brake, it can prevent luggage from rushing into the cabin and causing harm to the occupants.

How to Turn Off the Auto Start-Stop Function on Chevrolet Malibu XL?

The method to turn off the auto start-stop function on Malibu XL: Simply press the auto start-stop button, and the dashboard will display a prompt indicating the system is being turned off. Click to confirm the shutdown. Scenarios where turning off the auto start-stop is recommended: 1. When driving on steep slopes, it is advisable to avoid using the auto start-stop function. Although the engine stop duration is brief, the start-stop operation on a slope may lead to insufficient braking assistance. 2. During extremely hot weather in southern regions when the air conditioning is running at full capacity, it is best to disable the auto start-stop function. The air conditioning system requires significant power, and the vehicle's electrical system may not provide enough power to sustain the air conditioning when the engine is off, resulting in discomfort for passengers. 3. When driving through water, it is highly recommended to turn off the auto start-stop system. This prevents the engine from shutting down while the vehicle is in motion, which could cause a sudden drop in exhaust pressure. Water may then flow back into the engine through the exhaust pipe, potentially preventing the engine from restarting. 4. In cases of severe traffic congestion, disabling the auto start-stop function is also suggested. Prolonged engine shutdowns can lower the combustion chamber temperature, leading to the formation of carbon deposits from unburned hydrocarbons and paraffin on the cylinder walls. These deposits can increase fuel consumption and reduce engine power, counteracting the fuel-saving purpose of the auto start-stop feature.

What happens if the VVT solenoid valve fails?

When the VVT valve is damaged, common symptoms include sluggish acceleration, fault codes being triggered, increased fuel consumption, and severe difficulty in starting the engine. VVT system malfunction: If there is an issue with the VVT system, it may cause a delay in valve timing, resulting in weak acceleration or hesitation. In general, this leads to starting difficulties and unstable idle speed. It is recommended to promptly inspect and repair the system when these symptoms occur. Function of VVT: The VVT system continuously adjusts the engine's valve opening and closing timing as well as the air intake volume. This enhances engine power, optimizes the torque curve, and provides the significant benefits of improving engine performance while reducing fuel consumption.
