Is It Dangerous to Use Snow Tires in Summer?

Using snow tires in summer is possible, but it is not recommended. Snow tires are softer and primarily designed to enhance traction on icy and snowy roads. Since there is no ice or snow in summer, the braking distance will be longer, and the wear will be faster. Differences between snow tires and regular tires: 1. Snow tires are made of silica material, which makes them softer than regular tires even at low temperatures, thus generating greater friction; 2. They feature special tread patterns, unlike regular tires, utilizing cross-Z-shaped siping technology. This not only improves braking performance on snow and ice but also shortens braking distance and provides ideal traction.

How to Check the Water Level in a Car's Radiator?

The car's radiator has maximum and minimum warning lines marked on it. Of course, when the level is below the minimum line, the car can still be driven, but it serves as a reminder for the owner to add antifreeze. To check the water level in the car's radiator, simply open the front engine hood. If the dashboard indicates that the engine temperature is too high, it is usually due to insufficient water in the radiator. The color of the antifreeze acts as an indicator of its consumption. When the color becomes very light, it means the antifreeze needs to be replaced. However, under normal circumstances, antifreeze is sufficient because its antifreeze and cooling properties result in a very low evaporation rate of water.

Is It Normal for a New Car's Engine to Shake at Idle?

It is normal for a new car's engine to shake at idle. Generally, when a car starts cold, the engine speed will fluctuate between 900 to 1100 RPM, causing slight shaking. After warming up, the RPM will stabilize around 800 RPM, reaching a normal level. However, if the idle shaking is excessive, it is advisable to visit a repair shop or a 4S store for professional inspection. Possible causes of engine idle shaking include: 1. Ignition system issues; 2. Poor fuel quality; 3. Excessive carbon buildup inside the engine; 4. Fuel injector malfunction. If the owner is concerned, they can request a professional inspection.

How is fatigued driving determined?

Fatigued driving is defined as operating a motor vehicle continuously for more than 4 hours without stopping to rest or with a rest period of less than 20 minutes. Here are some relevant details: 1. Driver fatigue refers to the physiological and psychological dysfunction that occurs after prolonged continuous driving, objectively manifesting as a decline in driving skills. 2. To alleviate fatigued driving, one should decisively choose an appropriate time to rest, and this timing must be selected before drowsiness sets in. When driving while drowsy, the driver may not be aware of when they might fall asleep. 3. A good driving habit is to take a break every two hours to ensure full concentration once behind the wheel.

Can You Cover Your Car with a Car Cover in Summer?

In summer, you can cover your car with a car cover, but the following points should be noted: 1. Avoid direct sunlight: Be sure to park your car in a place where it is not exposed to direct sunlight. Otherwise, due to the cover of the car cover, the temperature of the car will rise abnormally, which may affect the paint and even the interior. 2. Cover the car when it's cold: Try to ensure that the engine is in a cold state. Do not cover the car when the engine is still at a high temperature after driving, as the interior of the car cover is relatively closed, not ventilated or waterproof, which may cause damage to the engine due to difficulty in heat dissipation.
