What Impact Does Aspect Ratio Have on Comfort?

The impact of aspect ratio on comfort is: tires with a larger aspect ratio have thicker sidewalls when viewed from the side, offering better comfort but poorer handling. Conversely, tires with a smaller aspect ratio have thinner sidewalls when viewed from the side, resulting in poorer comfort and louder road noise, but better handling. Aspect ratio is a tire specification that refers to the percentage of the tire's section height to its section width, essentially the height-to-width ratio of the tire. The tire's cross-section is composed of the shoulder, sidewall, and bead, with the sum of their heights being the tire's section height. After installation, since the bead is hidden within the rim, the measured height from the rim to the outer cross-section is slightly less than the tire's section height.

What to Do If 92 Octane Gasoline Is Accidentally Filled with 98 Octane?

Filling a car that normally uses 92 octane gasoline with 98 octane is generally not a problem, but long-term mixing of different octane levels should be avoided. If a vehicle is designed for 95 or 98 octane gasoline and is filled with 92 octane, it may cause issues, especially if 92 octane is used continuously over time. This can lead to increased knocking frequency and accelerated engine wear. Different octane levels have varying utilization rates and combustion efficiencies in the engine. The octane rating represents the ratio of the actual gasoline's anti-knock properties to those of standard gasoline, with higher numbers indicating stronger anti-knock performance. Standard gasoline is composed of isooctane and n-heptane, and higher octane numbers are not necessarily better. It's important to choose the appropriate gasoline octane based on the engine's compression ratio.

How to judge the distance between front and rear through the rearview mirror?

Use the following methods to judge the distance of the vehicle behind in the left lane through the rearview mirror: 1. If the body of the rear vehicle has entered the danger zone to the left of the dotted line in the rearview mirror, it indicates that the distance from the rear vehicle is very close, and turning at this time is not allowed. 2. If the left side of the rear vehicle's body is close to the boundary between the safety zone and the danger zone, you should be vigilant, but it is still safe to signal and turn at this time. 3. If the rear vehicle is in the safety zone, located in the center of the rearview mirror, it indicates that the distance from the rear vehicle is 15-20 meters, and you can proceed with the turning operation normally. 4. If the rear vehicle is in the safety zone, located to the right of the center of the rearview mirror, it indicates that the distance from the rear vehicle is relatively large, and you can proceed with the turning operation normally. Here’s how to judge the distance with the right rearview mirror: 1. If the rear vehicle occupies half of the rearview mirror area, and only half of its body is visible, the distance from the rear vehicle is very close. Your vehicle should maintain the current lane and not turn. 2. If the rear vehicle occupies half of the outer rearview mirror area, and the entire vehicle is visible, the distance from the rear vehicle is about 10 meters. You can signal and turn when the speed is slow. 3. If the rear vehicle occupies 1/3 of the outer rearview mirror area, and the entire vehicle is visible, the distance from the rear vehicle is about 15 meters, and you can proceed with the turning operation. 4. If the rear vehicle occupies 1/4 of the outer rearview mirror area, and the entire vehicle is visible, the distance from the rear vehicle is about 24 meters, and you can proceed with the turning operation.

Is it normal to hear gas when opening the fuel tank cap during refueling?

It is normal to hear a small amount of gas escaping when opening the fuel tank cap during refueling. However, if a large amount of gas is released, it may indicate a clogged carbon canister, and you should consider having it inspected at a repair shop. Gasoline is a volatile substance and naturally produces vapor. Under normal circumstances, this vapor is not allowed to be released into the air to prevent pollution, which is why car manufacturers designed the carbon canister. Methods to check the condition of the carbon canister solenoid valve: 1. If gas sprays out when opening the fuel tank cap, it indicates a damaged solenoid valve; 2. If gasoline vapor or dripping oil appears at the carbon canister's atmospheric vent, it indicates a damaged solenoid valve; 3. Symptoms such as weak acceleration, jerking, unstable idle speed (fluctuating up and down), indicate a damaged solenoid valve; 4. If the engine fails to start after shutting off or produces abnormal noises while driving, it indicates a damaged solenoid valve.

What is the reason for the engine yellow light to come on?

The reasons for the engine yellow light to come on are: 1. Sensor issues, including water temperature, intake air temperature, oxygen sensor, etc. When these sensors are damaged, have poor contact, or signal interruption, it will cause the engine fault light to come on; 2. Maintenance issues, vehicles have a certain maintenance cycle. If the owner does not perform maintenance on schedule, combined with poor driving habits, it will increase the burden on the engine operation and cause the fault light to come on; 3. Poor combustion of the mixture, engine spark plug failure, ignition coil failure, fuel pump failure, fuel line blockage, etc. will all cause the engine fault light to come on. The engine components include: the engine block, crankshaft and connecting rod mechanism, valve train and intake and exhaust system, supply system and governor, starting device, cooling system, and lubrication system.

What are the items included in car detailing?

Car detailing primarily aims to remove various oxidation, corrosion, and contaminants from both the exterior and interior of the vehicle. The car detailing items are as follows: 1. Exterior car detailing: Car washing, removal of oily stains, new car wax removal, old car wax removal, trim restoration, and tire refurbishment. 2. Interior decoration detailing: Interior cleaning and care, engine detailing, and trunk cleaning. 3. Paint surface detailing: Treatment for paint surface dullness, scratch treatment, and repainting. 4. Car protection: Application of explosion-proof solar films, installation of anti-theft devices, installation of voice alarm systems, and installation of static electricity dischargers. 5. Car accessories: Car perfumes, interior purification, decorative stickers, and various covers. Car maintenance tips: 1. Avoid washing the car under direct sunlight to prevent paint cracks due to sudden temperature changes. 2. Regularly inspect the paint surface and avoid using car covers to shield from heat. 3. Avoid repainting unless necessary. Do not use car duster balls after rain to prevent scratching the paint surface; opt for professional car wash services instead.
