The activation of the low-pressure run-flat indicator indicates that the air pressure in at least one tire differs from the pressure recorded during the last tire reset, and it is necessary to check the tire pressure of the vehicle. Below are the methods for resetting the low-pressure run-flat indicator: 1. Adjust the tire pressure: When the tire pressure is insufficient, the dashboard will prompt to reactivate the low-pressure run-flat indicator. Adjusting the tire pressure can reset the low-pressure run-flat indicator. 2. If adjusting the tire pressure does not reset the low-pressure run-flat indicator: Press the right arrow button on the steering wheel to navigate to the maintenance menu, then press the down button to reset the tire pressure light.

Last time I was driving on the highway, suddenly that run-flat indicator light on the dashboard came on, and I felt my heart rate spike. When this thing activates, it means the tire pressure is too low, possibly due to a leak or flat, but the car can still keep going for several dozen kilometers, like 50 to 80 km, allowing you to safely reach the nearest repair shop or gas station. That time, I immediately slowed down to under 80 km/h and carefully drove to the service area to check, only to find a nail had punctured the tire. Thankfully, this system helped avoid the danger of being stranded on the road. Now I've made it a habit to check the tire pressure before heading out to prevent this from happening again. Safety comes first when driving—never take it lightly when this indicator activates, and deal with it promptly to avoid completely ruining the tire.

When the low-pressure run-flat indicator on the car activates, it indicates insufficient tire pressure but the vehicle can still travel a certain distance. I recommend immediately reducing speed to the recommended level, typically 70-80 km/h, and avoiding aggressive driving or sharp turns. Then, find a safe location to inspect the tire, such as a repair shop or 4S dealership. The activation may be due to the tire pressure monitoring system detecting a leak, triggering the run-flat function to maintain stability. In such situations, stay calm, turn on the hazard lights to alert vehicles behind you, and avoid stopping on the roadside to change the tire, which increases risk. Develop good habits by using a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure monthly to prevent low-pressure issues. With proper maintenance, tires will last longer and be safer.

Are There Differences Between D, E, and F Motorcycle Licenses?

Currently, motorcycle licenses are categorized into three types: D, E, and F. The main differences between them lie in the types of vehicles and engine displacements they permit. The D license allows the holder to operate any motorcycle-defined vehicle, as its scope includes both E and F licenses. Here are the distinctions between D, E, and F licenses: 1. Broader Driving Scope: Since it serves as proof of driving skills and enables operation of all motorcycle-defined vehicle types, obtaining a D license offers a wider range of applications. 2. Minimal Cost Difference: The expenses required to obtain a D or E license are not significantly different, and the time investment is the same. Following the principle of 'more skills are never a burden,' it is advisable to opt for the D license. 3. Similar Examination Content: The differences in the test content for D and E licenses are minimal, and the overall process is relatively easy. Therefore, obtaining a D license under these circumstances is more appropriate.

How to Handle a One-Time Deduction of 12 Points on a C License?

C1 driver's license holders who accumulate or receive a one-time deduction of 12 points must attend a 7-day theoretical course (Subject 1) at the local traffic management department of the public security authority within 15 days. After passing the exam, the points will be cleared, and the driver's license will be returned. Below are the detailed steps: 1. Attend the Course: If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points in a scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security authority will confiscate their driver's license. The driver must report within 15 days to the traffic management department where the license was issued or where the violation occurred to attend a 7-day course on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. After completing the course, the vehicle management office must administer an exam on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge within 20 days. 2. Exam: If the exam is passed, the points will be cleared, and the driver's license will be returned. If the exam is failed, the driver must continue attending the course and retake the exam. Refusal to attend the course or take the exam will result in the traffic management department publicly announcing the suspension of the driver's license.

What are the items included in the second maintenance service?

Car second maintenance, also known as the second service, is performed at 10,000 kilometers. The basic items include changing the engine oil and oil filter, while some models may require replacing the air and cabin air filters. The second maintenance also involves inspection and maintenance of dozens of items across multiple systems, including the engine, transmission, air conditioning system, steering system, braking system, suspension, body, and tires. The inspection and maintenance items can be divided into the following four parts: 1. Replace engine oil, oil filter, and air filter. Check the tension and speed of the engine belt and the condition of various fluids. 2. Check tire pressure and look for bulges, damage, or uneven wear. 3. Inspect the chassis, brake pads, brake discs, ball joints, CV joints, and connecting rods for any scratches or damage. 4. Finally, check the lights and all switches in the vehicle.

What is the traction force of a car?

The traction force of a car is the torque generated by the car's internal combustion engine, which is transmitted to the drive wheels through the transmission mechanism, causing the drive wheels to produce a circumferential force on the road surface. Here is some introduction about traction force: 1. When there is sufficient adhesion between the drive wheels and the road surface, meaning the drive wheels do not slip on the road, a reaction force equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to this circumferential force is generated by the road surface on the drive wheels, propelling the car forward on the road. 2. In mechanical engineering, traction force refers to the rotational torque exerted by the transmission system of wheeled vehicles, including cars, railway locomotives, bicycles, etc., on the wheels, generated through the interaction between the drive wheels and the ground or rails.

How to Disable the Child Lock on the Teana?

Disabling Method: It is the reverse of locking, simply turn the key in the opposite direction to loosen it. For sedans, the upper interface is directly behind the headrest, while for hatchbacks, the interface is on the backside of the seat, requiring the trunk lid to be opened for installation. The purchase of a child seat comes with installation instructions, and the entire operation is relatively simple—just follow the manual's instructions. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Principle of the Child Lock: The principle of the child lock is quite simple. The mechanical lock's switch consists of the interior and exterior door handles, which operate on a two-lever principle to open the mechanical lock. The child lock's function is to secure the interior handle's control lever, preventing the door from being opened from the inside. This is primarily to prevent children seated in the rear from opening the door and slipping out while the vehicle is in motion, hence the child lock is installed. 2. Note: Generally, child locks are located on both rear doors. When the child lock function is activated, it is either on the rear door lock mechanism or a small device outside the lock mechanism, making it impossible to open the rear doors from the inside, though they can still be opened from the outside. When the child lock function is deactivated, the doors can be opened both from the inside and outside. This function is particularly essential when the vehicle is traveling at high speeds. If a child were to accidentally open the door, the consequences could be dire. Most modern vehicles are equipped with this feature.
