Tire bulging is one of the common issues encountered during tire usage. Below are several scenarios that may lead to tire bulging: 1. Based on available data, the most frequent causes of tire bulging are installation errors and manufacturing defects. 2. The vast majority of cases result from unexpected strong impacts with obstacles (e.g., potholes) during use, causing localized breakage in the tire's sidewall cord layers. Contributing factors include: improper tire pressure, poor road conditions, accidental collisions, and negligent driving habits - these combined elements represent the primary causes of tire bulging phenomena.

How to Steer When Encountering a Turn?

When encountering a turn, the method to steer is: alternate your hands while turning the steering wheel. When the steering wheel completes one full rotation, the left hand turns halfway, and the right hand immediately follows to continue steering. The function of the steering wheel is: to convert the force applied by the driver on the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. Precautions for using the steering wheel include: 1. Control the steering wheel by pushing with the left hand and pulling with the right hand in a smooth and gentle motion; 2. When holding the steering wheel, support it with your hands to reduce bad driving habits; 3. When turning the steering wheel, follow the principle of 'more turns for more correction, fewer turns for less correction, and quick turns for quick correction.' Return the steering wheel swiftly and accurately.

What engine does the Fiesta use?

The engine used in the Fiesta is domestically produced by Changan Ford in China, with Ford providing only technical support. The engine model of the Fiesta is ZY, with a maximum power of 56 kW, maximum torque of 138 Nm, maximum horsepower of 103 Ps, maximum power speed of 6000 rpm, and maximum torque speed of 4000 rpm. For daily maintenance of the Fiesta's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and keep the oil level moderate. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and oil cannot pass through, the filter may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gas, acid, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from component wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, clogging filters and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures normal engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What is the principle of a car emergency power supply?

The principle of a car emergency power supply is: 1. When the mains power is normal, the mains power supplies power to important loads through the transfer device, while performing mains power detection and battery charging management. The battery pack then provides DC energy to the inverter; 2. When the mains power supply is interrupted or the mains voltage exceeds the limit, the transfer device immediately switches to the inverter for power supply. With the support of the DC energy provided by the battery pack, the power used by the user's load is AC power converted by the EPS inverter. The main component of a car emergency power supply is a battery, whose basic function is to store electrical energy. In cases where the vehicle battery is frozen or malfunctioning, it can serve as a 12V starting system for cars, trucks, ships, etc., without requiring any AC power.

What engine does the Haval H9 use?

The engine of the Haval H9 is independently developed by Great Wall Motors and belongs to a domestically produced engine. The Haval H9 engine model is GW4C20B, with a maximum horsepower of 224 HP, a maximum power of 165 KW, a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and a maximum torque of 385 N.m. For the daily maintenance of the Haval H9 engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, the performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid failures, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and keep the oil level moderate. When the oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may burst the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing the oil to bypass through the bypass valve and bring dirt back to the lubrication parts, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from component wear to form sludge. A small amount of sludge remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, clogging the filter and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

How to Use the Corolla Automatic Braking Function?

Corolla's automatic braking system is enabled by default and only activates when a collision is imminent but the driver has not pressed the brake pedal. Conditions for using automatic braking: 1. Emergency braking state: If the BAS (Brake Assist System) determines that an emergency braking state is required, the system will increase braking force to reduce stopping distance. This means that the initial stage of the automatic braking system requires the driver to detect an emergency and press the brake pedal to activate braking assistance; otherwise, it will not function. 2. Potential obstacles: The system assesses potential collisions by detecting vehicles ahead or possible obstacles. The active braking system will then emit a warning sound to alert the driver and prepare sufficient braking force in advance. Once the driver presses the brake, the system will deliver maximum braking performance.
