185/70R14: 185 represents the tire width of 185MM; 70 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 70%, meaning the section height is 70% of the width, R stands for radial tire; 14 denotes the rim diameter of 14 inches. Here is an introduction about tires: 1. There are many ways to represent tire specifications, and the four most common ones in the market are the British system, German system, metric system, and American system. 2. Car tires are in direct contact with the road surface and, together with the car suspension, help to cushion the impact during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving.

Does the Audi A6 have an in-car recording function?

Audi A6 vehicles do not come with built-in recording functionality; a dashcam needs to be installed. The primary purposes of a dashcam are: recording footage to prevent fraud (such as staged accidents), serving as evidence for liability determination in case of accidents, and capturing scenic views during drives. The features of a dashcam vary depending on the model. Some discreet dashcams only offer basic recording capabilities, while others, like rearview mirror-style dashcams, may include additional functions such as GPS, radar detection (electronic dog), music playback, video viewing, night vision without light, alarm systems, and remote monitoring.

Is it illegal to modify car shock absorbers?

Modifying car shock absorbers is illegal. Here are the relevant details: Illegal vehicle modifications refer to altering the appearance, power system, transmission system, or braking system beyond the load capacity and functions permitted by national laws and manufacturer agreements, including replacing key components. Modifying car shock absorbers involves altering key components, hence it is illegal. According to Article 16 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" issued by the Ministry of Public Security: the following modifications are allowed for small and micro passenger vehicles—installation of front and rear anti-collision devices; for freight vehicles—installation of windshields, water tanks, toolboxes, spare tire racks, etc.; and interior decorations for motor vehicles.

What is the difference between Shell S2 and S3?

The differences between Shell S2 and S3 are as follows: Different grades: S2 is currently the highest grade of engine oil; S3 is the second grade. Base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining the basic properties of the lubricating oil, while additives can compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil's performance, giving it some new properties. Different oil films: S2 has a relatively strong oil film; S3 has a relatively weak oil film. Engine oil can lubricate and reduce wear, assist in cooling and temperature reduction, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine. Different protective performances: S2 has relatively strong protective performance; S3 has average protective performance. Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid obtained from petroleum through distillation or cracking, mainly used as fuel for spark-ignited internal combustion engines.

How many days does it take to check traffic violations in Zhangjiagang?

Violations generally take about three days to be queried. Timeframe for publishing violation information: When a motor vehicle commits a traffic violation that requires penalty according to regulations, the public security network usually publishes the violation information within 7 working days. For traffic violations captured by electronic surveillance, the police processing cycle typically takes about 3-5 working days. Therefore, to determine whether a motor vehicle is involved in illegal activities, you can usually check one week later. If no results appear in the query, it can basically be confirmed there are no violations. Violation query methods: Vehicle owners can also check violation records through online queries. First, log in to the road traffic safety website, then enter the "vehicle license plate number" and the owner's "driver's license number" or "driver's file number" in the query prompt box, and finally input the last four digits of the vehicle engine number to complete the query.

Can Motor Oil Be Used as Fan Lubricant?

Motor oil can be used as fan lubricant. Whether it's for a car or an electric fan, motor oil can serve as a lubricant to reduce wear and tear. It can be used temporarily as a lubricant, but for long-term use, specialized lubricants are required. However, it's important not to add too much when using it. Motor Oil: Also known as engine oil, it lubricates the engine to reduce friction, assists in cooling, provides sealing to prevent leaks, prevents rust and corrosion, and acts as a shock absorber. It is often referred to as the "blood" of a car. Composition of Motor Oil: Motor oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary component of the lubricant, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of the base oil, imparting new characteristics. Additives are an essential part of the lubricant.

What are the adverse effects of half-clutch acceleration?

Half-clutch acceleration increases the load on the main shaft and secondary shaft, reducing their service life. The engagement state of the clutch: from the moment the pedal is pressed, it goes through free travel, working travel, and empty travel in sequence. The working travel is further divided into three linkage states: initial linkage, half-linkage, and full linkage after starting to release the clutch. Occasional use: Habitually putting the car in a half-linkage state, although it causes wear, makes driving more convenient. When the vehicle is crowded and about to come to a complete stop, one might disregard clutch damage, shift into first gear, and occasionally use the half-linkage state to follow the car ahead, allowing the vehicle to move forward intermittently. It can only be said that occasional use is acceptable, but prolonged use should be avoided.
