The 98v on a tire refers to the load index and speed rating. The number 98 represents the load index, indicating that the tire can bear a maximum weight of 750kg. The letter v stands for the speed rating, meaning the tire can withstand a maximum speed of 240 kilometers per hour. The functions of a tire are: 1. Transmitting driving force, braking force, and steering force to enable vehicle operation; 2. Supporting the vehicle load; 3. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts during driving to avoid severe vibrations that could damage vehicle components. Methods for tire maintenance include: 1. Regularly removing stones stuck in the tire treads; 2. Minimizing exposure to direct sunlight; 3. Promptly checking tire pressure; 4. Paying attention to suspension maintenance; 5. Regularly inspecting front wheel alignment; 6. Adopting careful driving habits, such as choosing smooth road surfaces and avoiding objects that could puncture or scratch the tires, as well as chemical spills that could corrode the tires.

Can I change the inspection location if my vehicle fails the inspection?

You cannot change the inspection location if your vehicle fails the inspection. According to regulations, if a vehicle fails the inspection at a designated inspection point, it is not allowed to switch to another inspection point. The vehicle must be rectified according to the requirements of the inspection line and then return to the same inspection point for re-inspection until it passes. Below are some relevant details: 1. Regarding fees, the inspection station charges for the inspection service, not as a guarantee to pass. Regardless of whether the vehicle passes or not, the inspection station has invested corresponding manpower and resources once the vehicle undergoes inspection. The fee is charged for the service provided, and if the vehicle fails, it is due to the vehicle's own issues, not the inspection station's fault. Therefore, the inspection fee is non-refundable if the vehicle fails. 2. If you have paid the fee but no inspection was conducted, the inspection station must refund the money. If they refuse, you can file a complaint with the relevant authorities. In some cases, the inspection station may refund part of the fee out of goodwill if the vehicle fails. If you find that the inspection station is charging fees improperly, you can report it to the Price Bureau and request a refund from the involved inspection station.

Slow combustion of the air-fuel mixture. 2. Incorrect ignition sequence. 3. Low battery voltage. 4. Faulty coolant temperature sensor or air flow meter. 5. Excessive ignition advance angle (this is very important). 6. Incorrect valve timing. 7. Excessive carbon buildup on the valves. 8. Incorrect ignition sequence. 9. Faulty spark plugs. The following are the causes of engine afterfire: 1. Dirty or clogged filter. 2. Impure gasoline quality. 3. Insufficient ignition advance angle. 4. Incorrect valve timing. 5.

How to Connect Jumper Cables for Car Jump Start?

First, connect one end of the red cable to the positive terminal of the donor car and the other end to the positive terminal of the recipient car. Then, connect one end of the black cable to the negative terminal of the donor car and the other end to the negative terminal of the recipient car. After that, start the engine, and the car should be able to start. Precautions for car jump start connections: 1. Always turn off the engine of the donor car before connecting the jumper cables. 2. After connecting the cables to the donor car, ensure that the positive and negative cables do not come into contact with each other, as a short circuit can be very dangerous. 3. When removing the jumper cables, always disconnect the negative cable first, followed by the positive cable.

What does a triangle with an exclamation mark mean?

A triangle with an exclamation mark indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's regular performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. Solution: It is necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. The exclamation mark is a common fault indicator in vehicles. Besides the triangle with an exclamation mark, there are four other forms of exclamation mark indicators: a yellow gear with an exclamation mark, a red circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle, a yellow parentheses with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle, and a yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. Below is a detailed analysis of these four scenarios: Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating a fault in the transmission or transmission fluid level below the normal range. The transmission fluid should be replaced promptly. Brake System Fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a brake system warning, mainly indicating a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the brake system is required to avoid accidents. Tire Pressure Anomaly: A parentheses with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates when the tire pressure is too low. Check the vehicle's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in the vehicle's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair as soon as possible. Alternatively, you can perform a self-check, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights, to identify the issue.
