J represents the shape and height of the wheel flange, while the ET value, also known as the ET offset, refers to the offset. The following are detailed explanations: 1. Considerations for J value installation: If the original tire is 195/65/15, the standard tire should be 235/45/17. The flatter the tire, the harder it is to find. During modification, based on the J value, choosing which width of tire depends on what you aim to achieve. Selecting a point within the range affects both handling and ride quality, with the midpoint offering a balance. Narrower tires may impact handling, while wider tires may affect comfort. 2. Considerations for ET value installation: Changing the wheel's offset alters the vehicle's track width, which is the distance between the tire centerlines. Simply increasing the wheel and tire size without changing the offset does not affect the track width. Impact of changing the offset: Using a wheel with a smaller positive offset value widens the track, reducing body roll during cornering and improving the car's cornering speed limit.

What to Do When Overtaking in the Leftmost Lane During Subject 3 Driving Test?

Accelerate and merge into the adjacent lane, then accelerate straight to overtake the target vehicle until a safe distance is achieved before merging back into the original lane. When you notice that the vehicle ahead is significantly impeding the flow of traffic in the lane due to its own reasons, and there is a safe adjacent lane available for passing, overtaking can be considered. First, observe the condition of the lane you intend to merge into, as well as the driving situation of the vehicles ahead of the car you plan to overtake. Additionally, check the vehicle ahead before initiating the overtaking maneuver. To achieve maximum acceleration in the shortest time possible, for automatic transmission vehicles, press the accelerator pedal all the way down to force the transmission to downshift continuously, thereby obtaining greater torque.

Is it necessary to install an in-car air purifier?

In-car air purifiers are effective and serve the following purposes: 1. Effectively settle various inhalable suspended particles in the air, preventing harmful floating dust particles from being inhaled; 2. Kill and destroy bacteria, viruses, mold, and fungi, removing sources of disease in the air such as dead skin flakes and pollen, thereby reducing the spread of diseases; 3. Eliminate unpleasant odors in the air and continuously replace indoor air to ensure healthy circulation; 4. Neutralize harmful gases released in the air, reducing physical discomfort caused by inhaling these gases. Types of in-car air purifiers include: 1. Filter type; 2. Electrostatic dust collection type; 3. Ozone type; 4. Plasma cluster type.

Why can't the car air conditioner switch the airflow direction?

The reasons why a car air conditioner cannot switch airflow direction are as follows: Insufficient refrigerant: There is usually minor leakage in the air conditioning pipelines or condenser, causing refrigerant insufficiency after some time, requiring manual replenishment. Expansion valve or evaporator coil blockage: This leads to abnormal internal pressure, necessitating repair at a service center. Dirty condenser: The main purpose of the condenser is heat dissipation. In spring, it easily accumulates substances like willow catkins, leading to poor cooling performance. Air conditioning system pipeline leakage: This causes abnormal refrigerant evaporation or water ingress into the pipelines, resulting in poor refrigerant circulation, increased resistance, and ultimately the air conditioner's inability to cool.
