Buffed tires are essentially branded tires, which refer to tires that have the white barcode located at the toe area of the tire removed. Below is a related introduction to buffed tires: 1. Non-genuine tires: Once the barcode is removed, the tire is no longer considered genuine, and the manufacturer is not responsible for any issues that arise. 2. Slightly flawed: These are tires that have been identified with minor defects during factory inspection, such as uneven rubber texture, excessive dynamic balance deviation, or skipped stitches. The flaws can usually be seen from the appearance, and some of these tires may still be usable. 3. Precautions: It is not recommended to use buffed tires for frequent highway driving or speeds above 60km/h.

Brand-grinding new tires refer to those so-called new tires with their brand logos intentionally ground off. They appear brand new and unused, but lack identifying marks. This practice is common in retreaded tire processes, where manufacturers refurbish old tires by resurfacing them and grinding off logos to sell as new, or dispose of slightly defective genuine products. The tire structure may be compromised after logo grinding, resulting in uneven tread thickness, making them prone to blowouts or instability at high speeds, and affecting braking distance. I've seen many car owners buy them cheaply, only to have them wear out within six months and need replacement. It's advisable to check for intact sidewall markings, choose brands with CCC certification, perform regular maintenance to extend lifespan, and avoid safety risks just to save a few hundred yuan.

What does shiftlock mean in a car?

Shiftlock in a car refers to the gear shift lock. When this button is pressed, it releases the gear lock, allowing free shifting from P (Park) to D (Drive) without starting the circuit. The main function of shiftlock is to lock the gear to prevent mis-shifting or gear disengagement, ensuring driving safety. For automatic transmission cars, using just the P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), and D (Drive) gears is sufficient for most driving needs. However, in some special driving conditions, other functional gears may be required. Therefore, if the driver can choose the correct control method, an automatic transmission car is a relatively good choice.

What is a Position Lamp?

Position lamps, commonly known as small lights, are warning lights installed along the edges of a vehicle's roof to indicate its height and width. Their primary function is to alert other vehicles. Differences between position lamps on cars and trucks: Cars do not need to indicate height, as their front and rear position lights clearly display the height and width of the rear and the width of the front. Therefore, these position lights serve as position lamps. Trucks with a height exceeding 3 meters or a width over 2.1 meters must be equipped with contour lights, which are white at the front and red at the rear. This helps other vehicles determine relative positions and sizes during encounters or overtaking. Usage of position lamps: Position lamps should be turned on during dusk when drivers' visibility is weakest. Although the road may still be clear, vehicles at a distance become harder to see, making it essential to activate position lamps to alert others. Activating position lamps: Turn the light knob to the position lamp setting. When activated, the vehicle's dashboard will display the position lamp symbol, which consists of two 'D's with light beams on each side. In case of a breakdown or accident at night, both position lamps and rear position lights should be turned on to warn approaching vehicles and prevent secondary accidents.

The defogger and de-icing system will automatically turn off after approximately 15 minutes.
