95R15C refers to a tire with a tread width of 245mm and an aspect ratio of 45 (tire height ÷ tire width) (45 means 45%); R indicates that the tire has a radial structure with steel belts; 15 means the rim diameter is 15 inches; C indicates the maximum speed of the tire is 60km/h. Here is some extended information about the hazards of vehicle overloading: Shortens the vehicle's service life: The manufacturing of vehicles is based on technical data, and the load limit is no exception. Once overloaded, the original design data will be altered. For example: rivets may loosen, fastening screws may fall off, welding points may break, and the entire frame may deform. Overloading shortens the vehicle's service life and accelerates the aging of rubber and plastic components. Accelerates tire wear and deformation: Vehicle tires are designed and produced based on the total weight of the vehicle, with a considerable safety margin. However, when a vehicle is overloaded, the tires bear excessive weight and deform. This also increases friction, leading to a shorter tire lifespan. According to measurements, a 20% overload reduces tire life by 30%, and a 40% overload shortens tire life by 50%.

Does Crossing the Stop Line with Front Wheels Count as Running a Red Light?

Crossing the stop line with front wheels does not count as running a red light. Running a red light refers to the act of a motor vehicle violating traffic signal instructions by crossing the stop line and continuing to move when the red light is on, which prohibits passage. At least three pieces of photographic evidence are required to confirm a red light violation: the vehicle has not left the stop line when the red light is on; the vehicle has passed through the intersection when the red light is on; the vehicle has crossed the line and continued to move forward when the red light is on. Although crossing the line with front wheels does not count as running a red light, stopping after crossing the line is considered over-line parking. Article 26 of the Road Traffic Safety Law states: Traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to pass, and a yellow light serves as a warning. Article 44 states: Motor vehicles passing through intersections shall do so in accordance with traffic signals, traffic signs, traffic markings, or the direction of traffic police. Item 2 of the first paragraph of Article 2 of the Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations stipulates that driving a motor vehicle in violation of traffic signal instructions results in a deduction of 6 points. Ways to avoid running a red light: When there are arrow signal lights, follow the arrow lights; otherwise, follow the round lights; When the red light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the yellow light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the green light just flashes, if the distance is close and the speed is fast, you should pass through, as braking might not stop the vehicle in time to avoid crossing the stop line; if the distance is far, the speed is slow, or the intersection is congested, you should stop; When driving in the city, develop the habit of looking for traffic lights whenever you see a crosswalk or stop line and approach an intersection.

What Causes a Car to Have No Idle Speed?

Reasons for a car having no idle speed: 1. Low car battery voltage; Specific detection method: Use a multimeter voltage range to test the battery voltage. If it's below 10V, replacement is recommended. If it's around 11V, it can barely be used; be prepared for replacement. Above 12V is usable. 2. Check if it's caused by carbon deposits; if the car has run about 20,000 KM, focus on inspecting and cleaning the throttle body. 3. Inspect, test, and replace the spark plugs. 4. The control unit receives incorrect signals and issues wrong commands, leading to inaccurate control of the engine idle air intake, causing abnormal engine combustion. 5. Faulty idle air actuator resulting in inaccurate idle air control.

Why are the lights still on after the car is turned off?

Brake switch malfunction or car circuit failure. Detailed explanations for why the car lights remain on after turning off the power are as follows: 1. Brake switch malfunction: If the tail lights remain on after the car is turned off, it may be due to a faulty brake switch. If the brake switch is confirmed to be the issue, the owner can replace the brake light switch themselves. If unable to resolve it personally, it is advisable to visit a professional repair shop for more reliable service. 2. Car circuit failure: If the issue is not the brake light switch, it may be due to a circuit failure in the car. Since car circuits are complex, it is not recommended to handle this issue yourself. Instead, take the car to a 4S shop or a professional repair shop for proper handling.

What does it mean when the Haval H6 displays a brake system malfunction?

The reasons for brake system malfunctions are: 1. Severe brake pad wear: Brake pads come in two types, with or without sensor lines. Those with sensor lines will automatically complete the circuit when worn to their limit, triggering the warning light. If the issue is worn brake pads, theoretically the vehicle can still be driven for a few hundred kilometers, but it's not recommended as it leads to longer braking distances, softer brakes, increased noise, and potential damage to the brake discs. It's advisable to regularly replace brake pads based on driving habits and road conditions. 2. Low brake fluid level: Brake fluid plays a crucial role in the vehicle's braking system. When the brake pedal is pressed, the force is transmitted by the master cylinder's piston through the brake fluid to the wheel's brake calipers, causing the brake pads to contact the wheels and stop the vehicle. Low brake fluid may also result in noticeably reduced braking power or even complete brake failure. This can be resolved by promptly replenishing the brake fluid. 3. Other issues: Besides the common faults mentioned, other possible causes for the brake system warning light include brake system oil leaks or false alarms. If the brake system warning light comes on while driving, remain calm, gradually slow down, pull over safely, and then diagnose the issue.

What does the handwritten tag on a new car key mean?

The tag on the new car key is the factory password for the vehicle key, used to encode new keys. Additional information: 1. Spare key: High-end cars have both master and spare keys, with the spare key unable to open the trunk and glove box. 2. Key code: After purchasing a new car, be sure to keep the hand tag that comes with the key. This is the key code for the car, and if the key is lost, the key code can be used to make a new one. 3. Key material: High-quality keys are made of alloy, while ordinary ones are made of mixed copper. In terms of usage, the lifespan of a high-quality key is 5-6 times that of an ordinary key, and the wear on high-quality keys and lock cylinders is generally synchronized. 4. Trunk usage: High-end cars have two methods to open the trunk—one using the key and the other using an electric switch. Always ensure both methods work; if one fails, repair it as soon as possible. Never use the key to push against the lock cylinder to open the trunk, as this can easily break the key inside the lock. Also, avoid closing the trunk with the key inserted in the lock cylinder, as this can also easily break the key.

What is Refrigerant Oil?

Refrigerant, commonly known as Freon, is a working fluid used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems to transfer heat energy and produce cooling effects. It can be classified by working method into primary refrigerant and secondary refrigerant, and by material properties into natural refrigerant and synthetic refrigerant. The main function of refrigerant is to transfer heat energy and produce cooling effects in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Below is relevant information: 1. Refrigerant composition: It consists of polyester-based synthetic oils (such as polyalkylene glycol). Since nitrile rubber is incompatible, polybutadiene nitrile rubber is used as a sealing component. Its characteristics are colorless, odorless, non-toxic, non-flammable, and non-explosive. Currently, R134a refrigerant is widely used. R134a does not damage the atmospheric ozone layer but still has a certain greenhouse effect and is currently one of the substitutes for R12. 2. Refrigerant replacement: There is no fixed time cycle for adding or replacing refrigerant. Whether it needs to be replaced or added mainly depends on the state of the air conditioning refrigeration. The simplest way to evaluate the state of refrigeration is to measure the temperature of the air conditioning outlet, which is generally between 5 to 10 degrees Celsius and considered normal, with slight variations among different vehicle models. After eliminating reasons such as heat dissipation or refrigerant leakage, the refrigerant can be replaced. Additionally, after repairing or replacing components of the air conditioning system, the refrigerant may also be replaced to ensure the cooling effect of the air conditioning.
