According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard requirements, the standard tire pressure for a spare tire is 2.4-2.5 bar. In winter, the tire pressure should be based on the standard tire pressure of the car tires, with an appropriate increase of about 0.2 bar. In summer, the tire pressure can generally be about 0.1 bar lower than the standard to avoid tire blowouts due to high temperatures. Tire pressure reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep" sound, then release it. The tire pressure monitoring system will store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally the dashboard warning light will turn off, completing the tire pressure reset. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Abnormal tire pressure: The system usually alerts when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure reset is not performed in time, the tire pressure monitoring system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator light to turn on. In this case, simply perform a tire pressure reset. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which is used to monitor tire pressure, is directly installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged during driving, it will also cause the tire pressure warning light to turn on. For sensor damage issues, only replacement with a new component is possible.

What is the Difference Between 6-Seater and 7-Seater Cars?

The difference between 6-seater and 7-seater cars is mainly reflected in the number of seats, the frequency of annual inspections, and the cost of insurance, with little difference in interior space. Below are the key differences: 1. Number of Seats: The interior space of 6-seater and 7-seater cars is similar, but the seating arrangements differ. A 6-seater typically adopts a 2+2+2 layout, while a 7-seater usually follows a 2+3+2 layout. The 7-seater has an extra seat in the middle row compared to the 6-seater, but the rear row is often more cramped. 2. Annual Inspection Frequency: According to the 'Road Traffic Safety Law Implementation Regulations,' small passenger vehicles with 7 seats or more must undergo inspections every 2 years, while those with 6 seats or fewer are exempt from inspections for the first 6 years. 3. Insurance Costs: Insurance companies classify small passenger vehicles based on the number of seats, such as vehicles with 6 seats or fewer, 6-10 seats, 11-20 seats, etc. The premium varies depending on the number of seats, with higher seat counts generally leading to higher insurance costs.

Should You Cover Your Car's Steering Wheel?

If the steering wheel material is hard plastic, it is necessary to install a steering wheel cover. If the steering wheel is made of soft rubber material, you may choose to install one or not. Relevant information about car steering wheels is as follows: 1. Function: Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque and then transmit it to the steering shaft. 2. Correct grip: If the steering wheel is regarded as a clock face, the correct hand position is to place the left hand between the 9 and 10 o'clock positions and the right hand between the 3 and 4 o'clock positions. In the event of a collision, this posture is more conducive to supporting the body.

Why does the dash cam suddenly fail to detect the TF card?

The reasons why the dash cam suddenly fails to detect the TF card are as follows: 1. Memory card failure: The memory card is damaged and cannot store data, causing the recorder to fail to recognize it during detection and thus unable to continue working. Solution: Replace the memory card for testing. 2. Card reader or peripheral component damage: Oxidation of the metal contacts inside the card reader leads to poor contact with the memory card; the card reader itself is damaged, resulting in failure to read the memory card; components in the peripheral circuit of the card reader are damaged, causing power supply or signal transmission interruption, etc. Solution: Clean the inside of the card reader with a toothpick or replace the card reader.

What Are the Solutions When a Car Gets Scratched While Parked?

If your car gets scratched while parked on the roadside, you can check the dashcam. Dashcams are excellent for recording both the interior and exterior of the car, as they effectively document driving conditions. In case of any traffic accidents, they provide evidence to determine who is at fault. If the scratch is severe, you can directly call the police. For minor scratches, you can also seek help from the police. At many busy intersections or accident-prone road sections, there are usually surveillance cameras or electronic eyes installed. Often, when the car owner cannot locate the responsible party, the police can easily find them. If the scratch is quite serious, you can directly contact your insurance company, which will cover part of the loss to reduce your financial burden. You can also approach the parking lot administrator. If your car gets scratched while parked in a paid parking lot, you can directly contact the parking lot administrator to review the relevant surveillance footage, making it relatively easy to identify the responsible party. Moreover, since the car owner has paid for parking, the parking lot administrator has a responsibility to ensure the safety of the vehicle.
