New car tire pressure is appropriate between 2.3bar and 2.5bar, and the specific pressure should be based on the manufacturer's recommended tire pressure. The following are reference factors regarding tire pressure: 1. Seasonal factors: a. Winter: Based on the standard tire pressure of the car, it is appropriate to increase it by about 0.2bar. b. Summer: Based on the standard tire pressure of the car, it is appropriate to decrease it by about 0.1bar to avoid tire blowouts due to high temperatures. 2. Load factors: a. Empty load: Follow the lower limit of the standard tire pressure (the tire pressure indicated on the vehicle's label can be used as a reference for the minimum tire pressure). b. Full load: When fully loaded, follow the upper limit of the standard tire pressure (the maximum tire pressure indicated on the tire can be used as a reference for the theoretical maximum tire pressure).

When driving a new car, I pay the most attention to tire pressure because it directly affects safety and cost savings. Generally, new car tire pressure ranges between 30 to 35 PSI, but the exact value depends on your specific model. There's usually a sticker label on the door frame indicating the standard pressure, and the owner's manual provides detailed instructions. Low pressure increases fuel consumption and causes faster wear on the tire edges, while overinflation makes the tire center bulge, leading to unstable handling. I check the pressure monthly with a simple gauge, especially when the tires are cold—measured after the car has been parked overnight. Don’t neglect the spare tire either; maintain the same pressure, or it might be useless in an emergency. Weather has a big impact: in summer, heat causes expansion, so avoid excessive pressure; in winter, cold leads to contraction, possibly requiring a top-up. In short, maintaining proper tire pressure from the start ensures safe driving, extends tire life, and is both economical and hassle-free.

When traveling with the whole family in a new car, tire pressure is particularly important, especially when carrying children, as comfort and stability are key. The standard tire pressure is usually around 32 PSI, but different cars and tires have varying requirements—check the manual or the door label. High pressure makes handling stiff, which can easily make kids carsick; low pressure causes noticeable bumps and faster tire wear. The TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) in new cars is very useful, automatically alerting you to abnormalities and allowing you to check real-time data via the car's display or a mobile app. I recommend checking the pressure when the tires are cold in the morning and topping them up using the car's built-in tools or a portable air pump. Different tire types, like all-season tires, require timely adjustments, so ensure the pressure is correct before long trips. Protecting family safety starts with simple maintenance.

Years of experience with new cars have taught me that tire pressure is not to be taken lightly. Improper pressure once led to a tire blowout, a lesson learned the hard way. For new cars, setting the tire pressure between 30 to 35 PSI is ideal, but always check the door sticker or manual for specifics. Temporarily increase pressure when carrying heavy loads to prevent side roll. Seasonal changes have a significant impact: in winter, tires are harder, so slightly higher pressure helps prevent skidding; in summer, heat causes expansion, so avoid overinflation. A manual check with a pressure gauge is cheap and reliable. Simple maintenance ensures driving safety, making it a priority in new car care.

As a new car owner, tire pressure affects driving smoothness and safety. The standard pressure range is between 30 to 35 PSI, refer to the owner's manual for confirmation. Low pressure leads to higher fuel consumption and shorter tire lifespan; excessive pressure reduces grip and increases risks. I use a pressure gauge for regular checks, measuring when tires are cold for accuracy. Special conditions like off-road tires may require higher pressure. It's recommended to maintain spare tires at the same pressure, as neglecting them can cause issues. Proper maintenance ensures comfortable and worry-free driving.

Where is the chassis number located on GAC Trumpchi vehicles?

GAC Trumpchi's chassis number can be viewed from three locations: on the front bulkhead in the engine compartment; on the left side of the instrument panel; and on the vehicle identification plate located on the central pillar of the vehicle. Additionally, a professional diagnostic tool can be used to read the electronic chassis number and access vehicle status information. Extended information is as follows: 1. Chassis number: Also known as the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), it is a 17-character alphanumeric code that serves as the car's unique identifier. Each vehicle has its own unique chassis number. The letters and numbers in the chassis number represent the vehicle's production region, manufacturer, production year, model, and other details. 2. Detailed interpretation of the chassis number: Positions 1-3 (WMI): World Manufacturer Identifier. The first digit represents the vehicle's production country or region, while the 2nd and 3rd digits indicate the manufacturer and vehicle type. Positions 4-9 (VDS): Vehicle Descriptor Section. Positions 4-8 represent the vehicle's type, series, body, and engine type, among other details. The 9th digit is the check digit. Positions 10-17 (VIS): Vehicle Indicator Section. The 10th digit indicates the vehicle's production year. The 11th digit is the assembly plant code. Positions 12-17 represent the vehicle's production sequence number.

Why Does the Steering Wheel Shake When Braking at High Speed?

High-speed braking causing steering wheel shake can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Uneven brake disc wear: This leads to steering wheel vibration when braking at high speeds. 2. Braking torque imbalance: When the vehicle reaches a certain speed, uneven braking torque causes asynchronous movement between left and right wheels on the same axle, resulting in brake looseness. When this imbalance reaches a certain degree, it creates unequal rolling speeds between left and right wheels, causing lateral wheel oscillation which is then transmitted to the steering wheel.

How to Solve Black Smoke from Diesel Vehicles?

Diesel vehicles emitting black smoke require inspection or replacement of the air filter, cleaning of the fuel system or adding fuel cleaner, and checking the fuel injectors. The following are the causes of black smoke from diesel vehicles: 1. Dirty air filter: Remove the air filter and observe the exhaust smoke color. If the black smoke condition improves, it is caused by severe dirtiness of the air filter; 2. Excessive fuel supply in a cylinder: During engine operation, conduct a cylinder-by-cylinder fuel cut-off test. When a cylinder is cut off, the engine speed decreases, black smoke significantly reduces, and knocking sound weakens or disappears, indicating excessive fuel supply in that cylinder.
