[2] 4.1 Kumho Tire Union in South Korea finally agreed to sell the company to China's Qingdao Doublestar. Tires are often used under complex and harsh conditions. During driving, they endure various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperatures. Therefore, they must have relatively high load-bearing performance, traction performance, and cushioning performance. At the same time, they are required to have relatively high wear resistance and flex resistance, as well as relatively low rolling resistance and heat generation. They are in direct contact with the road surface and, together with the car suspension, mitigate the impact during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smoothness, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improving the car's traction, braking, and passing performance, and bearing the weight of the car. Kumho Tire maintenance methods: Increase awareness of tire safety and check tires more often. Regularly correct wheel balance. Unbalanced wheels will produce high-frequency swings during high-speed driving, causing tire wear. Regularly implement tire rotation. To maintain uniform tire wear on the same vehicle, the vehicle should have a tire rotation every 5,000 kilometers. In daily use of Kumho Tires, pay attention to the following points: Regularly check the tire surface for cracks, deformations, and other defects. Due to driving wear, the tread pattern grooves gradually become shallow. If the pattern is worn flat, it will lose the function of drainage and anti-skid, and the performance of the car will be greatly reduced. Small cracks are hidden dangers of tire blowouts during high-speed driving. In addition, immediately remove pebbles from the grooves. Try to park on flat ground. Prevent the car from parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. The car should not be parked near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, and other materials related to rubber deterioration. After parking, the driver should not turn the steering wheel. Such operations will accelerate tire wear. Do not splash water for heat dissipation. In hot weather or high-speed driving, tires are prone to overheating, and the air pressure will also increase. At this time, you should stop to dissipate heat. It is strictly forbidden to deflate or splash water to cool down to prevent abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Prevent sudden braking. Try to avoid frequent use of brakes and emergency braking to prevent accelerated tread wear due to dragging between the tire and the ground.

Which manufacturer produces the Blue Core engine?

Blue Core engine is independently developed by Changan. Introduction to the Blue Core engine: The Blue Core engine is independently developed by Changan and belongs to domestic technology. The Blue Core engine has a maximum output of 233 horsepower and a peak torque of 360Nm. In addition to its powerful performance, it also demonstrates low fuel consumption, making it one of the "China Heart" Top 10 Engines in 2017. Currently, the Blue Core engine is only available in a 2.0L displacement and is applied in Changan's high-end SUV, the CS95. Therefore, the technology of the Blue Core engine has not yet been popularized in 1.0t or 1.5t engines. Another reason is that the manufacturing cost of the engine accounts for a significant proportion, making it difficult to match with other Changan models in mid-to-low configurations due to cost considerations. Highlights of the Blue Core engine: "AGILE" efficient ultra-clean combustion system; the world's first mass-produced Schaeffler intelligent cam phasing system; China's first mass-produced fully variable displacement oil pump; the industry's first adopted TMM intelligent thermal management system; twin-scroll electronically controlled turbocharging.

Can you make a U-turn directly at an intersection with a left-turn signal?

You can make a U-turn directly at an intersection with a left-turn signal, but not when the red light is on. Introduction to turning: Vehicles must follow the instructions of traffic signals while driving, and generally can only proceed when the light is green. However, in some special cases, such as when turning right on a red light, you may turn without following the traffic signal's instructions. Relevant regulations: According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law Implementation Regulations," motor vehicles are not allowed to make U-turns at locations with no U-turn or no left-turn signs or markings, as well as at railway crossings, crosswalks, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, tunnels, or sections prone to danger. Motor vehicles can make U-turns at locations without no U-turn or no left-turn signs or markings, but must not obstruct the normal passage of other vehicles and pedestrians.

What is the appropriate tire pressure for Wuling Capgemini?

The normal tire pressure range for Wuling Capgemini is 2.4-2.5bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2bar in winter and reduced by 0.1bar in summer. This data is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard requirements. If you want to know the current tire pressure of Wuling Capgemini during daily driving, you can activate the tire pressure monitoring system, and the tire pressure value will be displayed on the central LCD screen of the instrument panel. The specific method is to press the tire pressure monitoring button in the central control panel area to view, which will display the specific tire pressure value. Generally speaking, a tire pressure exceeding 2.8bar is too high, and a tire pressure below 2.0bar is too low. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: The friction and adhesion of the tire will decrease, affecting braking performance; causing steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerating local wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, reducing tire life; increasing body vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; causing excessive extension and deformation of the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity, and increasing the load on the car during driving. Hazards of insufficient tire pressure: The friction coefficient with the road surface will increase, leading to higher fuel consumption; causing heavy steering and other factors detrimental to driving safety; increasing the movement of various parts of the tire, leading to abnormal heating due to excessive rolling; reducing the function of the cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, leading to damage and abnormal wear at the bead area; the friction between the tire and the ground increases exponentially, the tire temperature rises sharply, the tire softens, and its strength drops sharply. High-speed driving may lead to a tire blowout. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol, an irregular circle without a seal at the top, with four small spikes at the bottom and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Generally, an alarm will sound if the pressure is below 1.8bar or above 3.0bar. At this time, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tire, the tire pressure was not reset in time, causing the tire pressure monitoring system to still record the original data, and the tire pressure monitoring indicator light will come on. At this time, simply reset the tire pressure. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor is used to monitor tire pressure and is directly installed inside the tire, connected to the tire inflation port. If the tire pressure sensor is damaged during driving, it will also cause the tire pressure fault light to come on. For sensor damage issues, only a new replacement can be used.

Can Car Tires Be Inflated with a Bicycle Pump?

Car tires can be inflated with a bicycle pump. Introduction to Bicycle Pumps: Car tires can indeed be inflated using a bicycle pump. Most family cars use low-pressure tires, and bicycle tire pressure is actually higher than that of car tires. Therefore, it is entirely feasible to use a regular bicycle pump to inflate car tires. For vehicles that frequently travel long distances, keeping a bicycle pump in the trunk for emergency use is highly recommended. Introduction to Tires: Tires are circular, elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. They are typically installed on metal rims and serve to support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, maintain contact with the road surface, and ensure the vehicle's driving performance. Tires act as the medium for transmitting forces between the vehicle and the road, transferring driving force, braking force, steering force, and other forces to enable operations such as driving, braking, and steering.

How Many Amps is a Car Battery?

Generally, the capacity of household car batteries ranges between 54-60Ah. The amount of electricity or discharge time a battery can provide under specified conditions (including discharge intensity, discharge current, and discharge termination voltage) is referred to as battery capacity, measured in A·h or A·min. A single lead-acid cell in a car battery has a rated voltage of 2V, with charge-discharge cycles ranging between 200-300 times. The lead-acid batteries used in cars are 12V, meaning the car battery consists of 6 single cells connected in series to achieve the rated 12V voltage. The letters A and W indicate the type of battery. A stands for dry-charged batteries, while W represents maintenance-free batteries. If not labeled, it indicates a standard battery. The number 54 denotes the battery's rated capacity of 54Ah. A subscript 'a' signifies the first improvement over the original product, 'b' the second improvement, and so on. Additionally, some batteries may indicate the maximum current in auxiliary brackets. Generally, a car requires a starting current of over 250A, so the replacement battery's rated current must exceed this value; otherwise, insufficient current may prevent the car from starting. Typically, the designed lifespan of a car battery is 27 months. For general household cars with lower usage frequency, a new battery can last 3-4 years. If replaced once, it should be changed again in about two years. For commercial vehicles with high usage frequency, replacement is usually needed every 8-10 months. Therefore, regular battery checks should be conducted based on usage frequency. To determine if a car battery needs replacement, observe its appearance, the charge indicator, and the battery voltage. Maintenance methods for car batteries include: cleaning the white acid corrosion powder accumulated on the battery terminals to extend service life; adding distilled water to between the upper and lower level marks; and checking if the battery is charging normally. The functions of a car battery include: providing power to the starting system, ignition system, and electronic fuel injection system during engine startup; supplying power to the car's electrical equipment when the engine is off or at low idle; acting as a voltage stabilizer for the vehicle's electrical system; and storing excess electricity generated by the alternator.
