As a complete newbie to cars, I've realized that understanding those dashboard displays is crucial. The speedometer sits right in the middle, showing my current speed in numbers - better not exceed the limit and get a ticket. Next to it, the tachometer's needle dances around indicating engine RPM; driving at high revs really guzzles fuel. The fuel gauge with its gas pump icon turns red when levels get low, reminding me to refuel before getting stranded. The temperature gauge shaped like a thermometer warns of engine overheating if the needle moves too far right, requiring immediate cooling. Common warning lights include the check engine light (yellow engine-shaped icon signaling minor system issues), the terrifying red oil pressure light (demanding instant shutdown for oil inspection), and the ABS light indicating brake system faults affecting safety. I make it a habit to scan these indicators before every drive to ensure everything's normal, avoiding nasty surprises.

What to Do When a Car Tire Blows Out?

Solutions for a car tire blowout include: 1. When the car drifts off the main lane due to a flat tire, the driver should avoid emergency braking to prevent serious traffic accidents; 2. Firmly hold the steering wheel with both hands, try to keep the vehicle moving straight, then release the accelerator, and use intermittent braking or no operation at all, waiting for the vehicle to slow down and stop; 3. Try to park the car in a relatively safe place, turn on the hazard lights, and place a triangular warning sign behind the car; 4. Call for assistance or replace the spare tire. The main causes of car tire blowouts are speeding and prolonged driving, abnormal tire pressure, poor tire condition, and high temperatures.

Does Cracking on Small Car Tires Have an Impact?

Small car tires with cracks do not affect driving in the short term, but they need to be repaired or replaced promptly. Tire Replacement Time: It is recommended to replace tires every four years, even if the mileage within those four years is minimal. Tires are rubber products, and rubber tends to age over time with prolonged use. Tire Selection: When purchasing tires, always check the specifications and model, as well as the production date, speed rating, and load index. For most family cars or SUVs, the tire sidewall typically displays '91V'. After reinstalling tires, it is essential to perform a wheel balance to prevent abnormal vibrations during high-speed driving.

Will the 4S dealership refuel a new car?

New car 4S dealerships generally provide fuel, but they won't fill the tank completely. Reasons not to overfill the tank: Overfilling the gasoline tank can easily block the vent hole. Once the vent hole is blocked, the air pressure inside the tank will drop below normal levels, causing fuel supply issues or even complete fuel cutoff. Overfilling also increases the vehicle's weight, leading to higher fuel consumption. Additionally, gasoline can deteriorate over time, posing potential safety hazards. Avoid waiting for low fuel warnings: While driving, always monitor the fuel gauge. When the indicator shows only one-quarter of fuel remaining, you should refuel promptly. If the tank remains empty for too long, the temperature difference between inside and outside can cause moisture buildup inside the tank, leading to tank corrosion, fuel quality deterioration, and increased engine strain.

What RPM is Full Throttle?

Full throttle in S mode is 3500-4000 RPM; in N mode it can reach around 5000 RPM. Pre-departure vehicle inspection: Before setting off each day, conduct a comprehensive vehicle check including looking for oil or coolant leaks, measuring tire pressure to ensure it's appropriate, checking the engine oil condition to verify its color is normal and level is correct. Safe driving: Properly use seat belts - their protective effect during severe collisions is no less than airbags. Avoid fatigued driving and take breaks every 2 hours. Traffic rule compliance: Especially on highways, don't speed. Speeding not only risks traffic fines but more importantly compromises safety.
