CrossContact refers to Continental Tires (CONTINENTAL CROSSCONTACT). Introduction to Continental Tires: Continental was founded in 1871 in Hanover, Germany. Continental Tires belongs to Continental AG, which is the world's third-largest tire manufacturer and Europe's largest automotive parts supplier. Characteristics of Continental Tires: Renowned for all-weather safety and reliability, low noise, and strong self-cleaning properties. They feature extremely high instantaneous overload capacity, responsive handling and cornering stability, excellent braking performance on both dry and wet surfaces, superior drainage protection, and are the only road tires globally approved for driving at speeds up to 360 km/h, earning a Guinness World Record. The SSR run-flat tires allow vehicles to continue driving up to 80 km at 80 km/h even when the tire is completely depressurized.

CrossContact is a product line under Continental Tires, specifically designed as an all-season tire series for SUVs and pickup trucks. Speaking of the Continental brand, I must first mention its global reputation in the tire market—as a century-old German brand, it is renowned for high performance and durability, especially the CrossContact series, which balances off-road traction with on-road comfort. I often help friends choose tires, and this brand offers good value for money, unlike some high-end products that are overly expensive and impractical. CrossContact performs well on wet surfaces, has a long lifespan, and is easy to maintain. If you frequently drive long distances or live in areas with heavy rain or snow, this would be a reliable choice. Relatedly, Continental also has other series like EcoContact, which are great for eco-conscious drivers.

Should You Shift Gears or Release the Handbrake First When Starting an Automatic Transmission Car?

When starting an automatic transmission car, shift gears first and then release the handbrake. This is primarily for safety considerations. In practice, releasing the handbrake before shifting gears has no impact on starting the vehicle; the car will still start normally. The recommended sequence is to ensure the vehicle does not move unintentionally and to avoid unnecessary complications. Generally, vehicles have five gears: P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), and S (Sport). Below are the relevant details: 1. P (Parking) – Parking/Starting Gear: Used when the vehicle is parked and not in use. In this position, the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling. The vehicle must be completely stopped before engaging P gear to avoid damaging the automatic transmission's mechanical components. 2. R (Reverse) – Reverse Gear: Used for reversing. Never force the gear into "R" before the vehicle has come to a complete stop, as this can severely damage the transmission. 3. N (Neutral) – Neutral Gear: Used for temporary stops (e.g., at a red light). This gear disengages the transmission, but the brake pedal must be pressed to prevent the vehicle from rolling on a slope. 4. D (Drive) – Forward Gear: Used for normal driving on roads. 5. S (Sport) – Sport Mode: In this mode, gears can be freely switched, but the shift timing is delayed to maintain higher engine RPMs for increased power. However, this mode increases fuel consumption.

How do insurance companies determine secondary ignition?

After a vehicle is submerged in water, the starter motor will only engage again if the engine stalls. At this point, if the starter motor does not respond, it is considered a secondary ignition. Secondary ignition refers to the situation where the vehicle stalls underwater, and the driver attempts to turn the key to start the engine again while still submerged. If the vehicle has flood insurance, the difference between not attempting to start the engine and attempting a secondary ignition determines whether the claim is eligible for compensation or not. Here is more detailed information: 1. Under normal circumstances, if a vehicle stalls in water, there is a 50% chance it could cause engine damage. However, if the driver attempts to restart the engine after stalling, the engine will almost certainly be "destroyed." 2. Some insurance companies also include secondary ignition after stalling due to water ingress as an exclusion clause in flood insurance. This means that if the vehicle is submerged and the owner attempts a secondary ignition, any resulting engine damage will not be covered by the flood insurance, even if the policy is active.

Can 92 Octane Gasoline Be Mixed with 95 Octane?

Yes, but it is not recommended for long-term use. Generally speaking, engines with a compression ratio between 8.5-9.5 typically use 92 octane gasoline, while engines with a compression ratio above 9.5 usually use 95 octane gasoline. However, this is not absolute and depends on the tuning by the car manufacturer. Occasionally mixing 95 octane gasoline with 92 octane once or twice will not have a significant impact, but it is not recommended. Below is some relevant information: 1. Anti-knock Performance: 92 and 95 octane are fuel grades, but the fuel grade does not represent the quality of the gasoline. The difference between them lies in their anti-knock performance, which essentially means the octane rating varies. Different types of engines have different compatibility requirements. If you refuel at a reputable gas station, the quality of the gasoline will not be affected. 2. Compression Ratio: Different engines have different compression ratios. Engines with a compression ratio of 8.5-9.5 generally use 92 octane gasoline, while engines with a compression ratio above 9.5 typically use 95 octane gasoline. Long-term mixing of different fuel grades can have a certain impact on the lifespan of the car's ignition system, fuel injectors, and spark plugs.

How Does Insurance Compensate for a Flooded Car, and How Much Will Be Covered?

If your car is flooded due to rain, the insurance company will compensate based on the actual situation. Here are the specific details: First scenario: If you have comprehensive car insurance (car damage insurance) and the car is flooded while parked (static damage), the insurance company will fully compensate. Second scenario: If you have comprehensive car insurance plus flood insurance and the car is flooded while driving, full compensation applies. However, if you only have comprehensive car insurance without flood insurance, the engine damage will not be covered. Third scenario: If you have comprehensive car insurance plus flood insurance but the car is flooded while driving and you attempt to restart the engine after it stalls, the insurance company will not compensate.

How often should a 72v battery be replaced?

The normal service life of an electric vehicle battery is about one and a half to two years before replacement is needed. A 72v battery charger for electric bicycles refers to a power battery with a voltage of 72 volts, meaning the voltage supplied to the motor is 72 volts. Below is relevant information about electric bicycle batteries: 1. Two important indicators of batteries: Batteries have two crucial indicators - voltage and capacity. The larger the battery's capacity, the longer the driving range of the electric vehicle. The higher the voltage of the power source, the faster the electric vehicle can travel. 2. The importance of batteries to electric bicycles: The battery used in electric vehicles is the sole power source. Most electric bicycles use lead-acid batteries, which are relatively low-cost and offer good value for money. Since these types of batteries are rechargeable, they can be used repeatedly.
