Tire sizzling sounds can be caused by stones stuck in the tire treads, nails puncturing the tire, or loose wheel hub nuts leading to abnormal noises. Stones stuck in tire treads or nails puncturing the tire: If stones are stuck in the tire treads, it's relatively easy to solve—simply use a screwdriver or a metal piece to pry the stones out of the tread gaps. However, if the tire is punctured by a sharp object, it can easily lead to a flat tire or air leakage. To protect the tire and ensure driving safety, it's necessary to replace the tire with the spare and then visit a repair shop to check whether the tire can be patched. If it can, proceed with the repair. Abnormal noises caused by loose wheel hub nuts: If the front wheel hub nuts are loose, a slight clicking sound can be heard when lightly braking downhill. Pay close attention to this sound. If the rear wheel nuts are loose, the noise from the wheels will be amplified through the trunk, producing a louder clicking sound, and the noise will emanate from the trunk. In this case, simply use tools from the trunk to tighten the nuts.

Does the Geely car dash cam automatically turn on when driving?

Geely Emgrand's dash cam turns on automatically. After ignition starts, the navigation and dash cam detect the ACC signal to activate. Once started, the system performs a self-check, and after the dash cam passes the self-check, it defaults to starting recording and is ready for use. Location of Geely dash cam: For Geely Emgrand, the dash cam is installed on the instrument panel switch group for manual transmission models and on the sub-instrument panel switch group for automatic transmission models. Introduction to dash cams: A dash cam is a device that records images, sounds, and other related information during vehicle travel. After installation, it can record the entire driving process in video and audio, providing evidence for traffic accidents. Dash cams are mainly divided into two categories: portable dash cams and aftermarket in-dash DVD dash cams.

What brand is the transmission of the Changan CS55plus?

The transmission of the Changan CS55plus is from Aisin. Founded in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned professional research and manufacturer of automotive automatic transmissions. In the field of automotive automatic transmissions, Aisin's products hold the world's highest market share. The Changan CS55plus uses a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. A wet dual-clutch transmission refers to a dual-clutch transmission where the clutch plates are immersed in transmission fluid. There are two types of dual-clutch transmissions: dry and wet. For the Changan CS55plus transmission, the following points should be noted during daily use: Do not delay changing the transmission fluid for extended periods. Prolonged failure to change the transmission fluid can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While driving manual transmission vehicles, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral, but for automatic transmission vehicles, this can lead to overheating of the transmission and cause a noticeable jolt when shifting back into Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Many drivers, aiming for smooth operation, may shift into reverse while the vehicle is still moving, which can severely damage the transmission gears and, over time, lead to gear grinding and other faults. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D). On steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles can overheat due to high load or may shift up too early, resulting in insufficient power. In such cases, using manual mode to maintain lower gears or switching to sport mode can help protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, it should be transported using a flatbed tow truck with the vehicle in Neutral (N). Using a tow rope or directly towing the vehicle is not recommended.

What is the tire specification for the Nissan Sylphy?

The Nissan Sylphy uses Dunlop tires with sizes of 195/60R16, 215/50R17, and 205/60R16. The 2022 Sylphy e-POWER Ultra Luxury, Super Smart Connect PLUS, Super Smart Drive MAX, and TOPCVT Luxury Edition models come with 215/50R17 tires. The 1.6XE Manual Comfort Edition, Comfort Edition, and Luxury Edition models use 195/60R16 tires. The All-Electric Drive Pro and CVT Enjoy Edition models, among others, are equipped with 205/60R16 tires. According to the official maintenance manual, tires should not be used for more than six years, regardless of previous usage. Tire performance deteriorates not only with prolonged use but also with mileage. When replacing tires, use tires with the same size, speed rating, and load capacity as the original tires. The international standard tire specification generally consists of six parts: "tire width (mm) + aspect ratio (%) + tire type code + rim diameter (inches) + load index + speed rating code." The aspect ratio is the percentage of the tire's height to its width. For example, in the tire specification 195/60/R16, 195 refers to the tire width of 195mm. 60 indicates the aspect ratio, meaning the height is 60% of the width. R denotes that the tire is a radial tire, and 16 refers to the rim diameter of 16 inches. Tires also have speed rating letters, indicating the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Letters from A to Z represent certified speed ratings ranging from 4.8 km/h to 300 km/h.

What size cup can fit in an Audi A6?

Audi A6 can accommodate cups under 7cm. The size of the cup holder in Audi A6: The cup holder in Audi A6 is generally around 7cm-10cm. Initially, small cars did not reserve space for cup holders, especially in manual transmission vehicles (which can also be understood as entry-level models). The gear shift occupied a considerable amount of space inside the car and required the driver to always use both hands to control the vehicle, so cup holders were not considered practical at that time. The function of cup holders: In high-end models, cup holders may have heating or cooling functions, which is not a rare configuration. However, the cup holder in the 300C can provide both heating and cooling functions simultaneously, meaning the left side can heat while the right side cools, or vice versa.

What is the equal loudness of Chery Ant?

Chery Ant's equal loudness is a technology that achieves the effect of separately boosting high, mid, and low frequencies while maintaining the same perceived loudness level. The function of equal loudness: The equal loudness control boosts the volume of high and low frequency components at low volume levels, ensuring the loudness ratio of low, mid, and high frequencies remains consistent with that at high volume levels. The reason for equal loudness: Due to the human ear's poor sensitivity to high-frequency sounds, especially low-frequency sounds, auditory compensation is required for high and low frequencies at low volume levels. This means significantly boosting low frequencies and moderately boosting high frequencies. In other words, when the volume decreases, the reduction in low-frequency components of the signal is less than that in high-frequency components. The equal loudness control meets this requirement, typically set at 8dB or 10dB.
