The normal tire pressure for the Malibu is between 2.2 and 2.5 bar. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tires. The Malibu is a 4-door, 5-seater mid-size sedan under SAIC-GM Chevrolet. Its body dimensions are: length 4933 mm, width 1854 mm, height 1472 mm, with a wheelbase of 2829 mm, a fuel tank capacity of 61 liters, and a curb weight of 1520 kg. The Malibu is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 124 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.

The ideal tire pressure for the Malibu is between 32 and 35 PSI. Through years of driving experience, I've found this range provides the best balance between safety and comfort. The exact recommended value is usually listed on the label inside the driver's door frame. In summer, you should slightly reduce the pressure due to thermal expansion, while adding a bit more air in winter. When tire pressure is too low, tires wear out faster and fuel efficiency drops; excessive pressure leads to a bumpy ride and increased noise. I use a simple tire pressure gauge to check monthly - it's both convenient and cost-effective. This routine check becomes especially important before long trips to prevent potential issues.

I think maintaining the tire pressure of the Malibu at 32-35 PSI is ideal, as the owner's manual generally recommends this range as the standard. Incorrect tire pressure can affect handling, such as unstable cornering or longer braking distances, especially in rainy or snowy conditions where the risks are greater. It's advisable to visually inspect the tire shape weekly and verify the pressure with a gauge, rather than waiting for the warning light to come on. Regular minor maintenance can extend tire life and protect chassis components.

The optimal tire pressure for the Malibu is between 32-35 PSI, and I usually refer to the door label for setting. If the tire pressure is too high, driving becomes excessively bumpy. Conversely, if it's too low, it can lead to tire wear or potential air leakage. Short trips may not pose significant issues, but it's essential to check before long journeys. It's recommended to measure tire pressure when the car is cold for the most accurate reading. Developing this habit takes only a few minutes but ensures a safe journey.

Are the Brake Light and Turn Signal the Same Light?

Brake lights and turn signals are not the same light. Below are the differences between brake lights and reverse lights: 1. Brake Light: Refers to the light that illuminates when the car brakes. Most are installed at the rear of the car, with the main color being red, serving to alert the cars behind. It effectively helps avoid rear-end collisions and reduces traffic accidents. The brake light is bright and clear, primarily used to warn the following cars that this vehicle is slowing down or stopping. If the brake light is used incorrectly or malfunctions, it can easily lead to rear-end collisions. 2. Reverse Light: Installed at the rear of the car, it is used to illuminate the road behind when reversing and to warn cars and pedestrians behind, indicating that the vehicle is reversing. It also functions as a light signal device, with the light being white.

Will a faulty exhaust check valve cause oil burning?

Exhaust check valve failure will not cause oil burning. The exhaust valve refers to the circulation system that returns exhaust gases from the crankcase to the intake system for re-entry into the cylinders for combustion. The function of the automobile exhaust valve is to allow exhaust gases to recirculate into the cylinders for combustion. A small amount of exhaust gas reduces the temperature in the cylinders during combustion. Since NOX is generated under high-temperature, oxygen-rich conditions, this inhibits NOX formation, thereby reducing NOX content in the exhaust. Symptoms of a faulty exhaust check valve include extremely unstable idle speed or even stalling, flashing malfunction indicator light, failure to meet annual emission inspection standards, oil burning, and blue exhaust smoke. When the exhaust valve remains constantly open, the vehicle may exhibit black smoke emission, poor acceleration, and increased fuel consumption. When the exhaust valve remains constantly closed, it will affect the vehicle's exhaust emissions.

Will a vehicle be automatically deregistered if it fails the annual inspection?

There is no time limit for automatic deregistration of license plates due to a vehicle failing the annual inspection. Below are the relevant details: 1. Road Traffic Law stipulates: Vehicles that fail to participate in the annual inspection on time are not allowed to be driven on the road, with a fine and 3 points deducted. Failing the annual inspection will not lead to deregistration, with the latest deadline being the end of the month noted on the vehicle registration certificate; no late fees are charged, but a fee for missing the inspection is required if it exceeds one inspection cycle. 2. Additional information: The materials required for the owner to process vehicle scrapping procedures are as follows: Vehicle registration certificate; Vehicle license. For organizational vehicles, the organization code certificate (copy) with the official seal; For personal vehicles, the owner's ID card; Proof materials for accident vehicles.

What is the reason for the left side of the vehicle crossing the line during curve driving?

The reason is turning the steering wheel too early or too late. Here are some tips for curve driving: 1. When entering the curve: Try to keep the vehicle close to the right side line, because the first turn of the curve is to the left, and keeping the vehicle too close to the left can easily cause crossing the line. 2. After entering the curve: Observe the small rearview mirror on the left side of the vehicle. When the mirror covers the white solid line, quickly turn the steering wheel one full turn plus 45 degrees to the left. 3. While driving: Continue to observe whether the rearview mirror and the white solid line remain aligned. If the direction deviates, correct it promptly. If the rearview mirror is outside the white solid line, turn the steering wheel to the left; if it is inside the white solid line, turn the steering wheel to the right. 4. When the left front of the vehicle touches the white solid line: Quickly straighten the steering wheel and continue to observe the white solid line. 5. When the right front rearview mirror approaches the white solid line: Quickly turn the steering wheel one full turn plus 45 degrees to the right, keeping the rearview mirror and the white solid line always aligned.
