What Causes a Tire to Blow Out?

Tire blowouts can occur due to several reasons: 1. Excessive tire wear. If the tire is a steel-belted radial, when the tire wears to a certain extent, such as the steel belts being exposed, it is crucial to replace the tire immediately. The steel belts act as the primary support structure within the tire; once they begin to break, the tire can no longer bear the load, leading to a high risk of blowout under heavy pressure. 2. Driving with insufficient tire pressure can cause excessive flexing of the tire body, generating high heat. This heat can char the inner liner rubber into black spots, causing the rubber to separate from the tire's fabric layers. In severe cases, the heat can melt the inner liner, severely damaging the tire's internal structure. Continuing to drive on a weakened tire may result in tire failure or even a blowout, posing significant safety risks. 3. Overloading, poor tire quality, sidewall bulges, or manufacturing defects can also lead to tire blowouts.

What is the width of a single traffic lane in meters?

The width of a single lane on urban roads is 3.5 meters. Quasi-expressway width standards: A four-lane bidirectional expressway is 2X7.5 meters, a six-lane bidirectional expressway is 2X11.25 meters, and an eight-lane bidirectional expressway is 2X15 meters. Expressways are classified as high-grade highways. According to the "Technical Standards for Highway Engineering" issued by the Ministry of Transport of China, an expressway is defined as "a road that can accommodate an average annual daily traffic volume of more than 25,000 passenger cars, is exclusively for high-speed divided-lane vehicle traffic, and has fully controlled access." Road width standards: Each lane on urban roads is 3.5 meters wide, diversion lanes at intersections are 2.3-2.5 meters per lane, trunk roads (including expressways) have a lane width of 3.75 meters, and shoulders (emergency stopping lanes on expressways) are 1.5-2.5 meters wide. Each lane at expressway toll stations is 2.5 meters wide, and when necessary, an extra-wide toll lane of more than 3.5 meters must be established to maintain smooth traffic flow.

Is Automotive Urea Harmful to Humans?

Under normal circumstances, automotive urea is not harmful to humans (if it comes into contact with the skin, simply rinse it off with plenty of soapy water or clean water, but be sure to avoid contact with eyes or ingestion). However, under high-temperature conditions, automotive urea may release ammonia gas, which can have corrosive and irritating effects on human skin tissue. Prolonged exposure to ammonia gas may lead to symptoms such as skin pigmentation or ulcers. Below is relevant information: 1. Function of automotive urea: Automotive urea can catalyze the reduction of nitrogen oxides in diesel vehicle exhaust into harmless nitrogen (N2) and water in the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system. 2. Composition of automotive urea: Automotive urea consists of 32.5% high-purity urea and 67.5% deionized water. 3. Working process of automotive urea in the SCR system: The SCR is a closed-loop injection system. When exhaust gases exit the engine combustion chamber, an electric pump draws an adequate amount of urea solution from the urea tank as instructed by the electronic control unit. The urea solution is mixed and atomized with compressed air and then evenly injected into the exhaust through the injection pipeline via the urea nozzle. At this point, the urea solution rapidly decomposes under high temperature and simultaneously undergoes a catalytic reduction reaction with NO, ultimately producing harmless N2 and water for discharge.

How to Determine if the Charcoal Canister Purge Solenoid Valve is Good or Bad?

Methods to determine the condition of the charcoal canister purge solenoid valve are as follows: 1. Unplug the solenoid valve connector: If the suction stops, it indicates the solenoid valve is functioning properly. If suction continues, it means the solenoid valve is stuck in the open position. 2. Start the engine: Let it idle, then disconnect the tube connected to the fuel tank. You should feel suction at the canister's connector at a frequency of about two to three times per second. If there is no suction, it indicates the solenoid valve is stuck in the closed position. Below is an introduction to the charcoal canister purge solenoid valve: 1. Definition: The charcoal canister purge solenoid valve is a device installed in vehicles to reduce air pollution caused by fuel vapor emissions and improve fuel efficiency. When the vehicle starts, the solenoid valve opens, releasing the adsorbed fuel vapor into the intake manifold for combustion in the engine. 2. Function: The charcoal canister collects and stores fuel vapors. The canister installed in the vehicle is actually an assembly, with its shell typically made of plastic and filled internally with activated carbon particles that adsorb vapors. The top is equipped with a purge control valve to regulate the amount of fuel vapor and air entering the intake manifold, as well as a filter to purify the fuel vapors.

How to Check the Wheels During Parallel Parking?

Methods for checking the wheels during parallel parking: 1. Left side: Simply look forward along the left edge of the steering wheel. If the line you follow aligns with the yellow or white line, it indicates that the wheel is on the marking. 2. Right side: First, look at the right edge of the steering wheel, then extend 15 centimeters to the right from the right edge of the steering wheel and look forward. The rest is the same as the left side. Below are additional tips: 1. Distance: The most critical aspect of parallel parking is the distance between the car body and the edge of the parking space, as this distance can be observed through the right rearview mirror to determine the parking position and the timing for reversing. 2. Too wide: If the distance is too wide, it will cause the car to swing too much when reversing. Even if the rear wheels can enter the space, the remaining distance makes it difficult to straighten the car. 3. Too narrow: If the distance is too narrow, when reversing into the space, the front right corner of the car will be too close to the car in front, making it easy to scrape when straightening the wheels, or the rear of the car becomes a hazard if avoiding the front right corner. Therefore, this distance should not be too wide or too narrow; 30cm is the most suitable distance.

Can the Great Wall Fengjun 5 be turned off while it is self-cleaning?

Great Wall Fengjun 5 can be turned off while it is self-cleaning. The self-cleaning function of the car is controlled by the computer, and turning off the car will not hinder the operation of the self-cleaning function. After the car self-cleans, it can effectively reduce the pollution of particulate matter in the exhaust emissions to the air and improve the cleanliness of the air. The time for car self-cleaning: There is no specific requirement for the time of car self-cleaning, which needs to be determined according to the use of the car and the driving environment. Self-cleaning is also divided into manual and automatic. Automatic cleaning vehicles will have active prompts, and manual cleaning once every 15,000 to 20,000 kilometers is more reasonable. If the engine shakes while driving, it needs to be cleaned and self-cleaned. The operation method of car self-cleaning: Turn on the ignition switch, connect the power supply, and press and hold the DPF regeneration switch behind the steering wheel until the dashboard prompts to start the vehicle and idle, then start the vehicle. The engine speed will automatically maintain at 2000 rpm until the dashboard shows that the self-cleaning is completed, and then turn off the car.
