For driving on highways in winter, a tire pressure of 2.6 bar is appropriate. Strictly speaking, tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. The standard tire pressure for cars is 240-250 kPa, where 1 kPa equals 0.01 bar, according to the international GBT2978-2008 standard. The tire pressure for different types of tires is as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5 bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9 bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5 bar. Normal tire pressure in winter: In winter, the tire pressure should be based on the standard tire pressure of the car, with an appropriate increase of about 0.2 bar. Normal tire pressure in summer: Generally, the lower limit of the standard tire pressure for car tires is sufficient. For example, the lower limit for standard tires is 2.4 bar. If the car is often parked outdoors, the tire pressure can generally be about 0.1 bar lower than the standard to prevent tire blowouts due to high temperatures.

What is the speed limit when visibility is 50 meters in rainy and foggy weather?

When driving in fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail with visibility within 50 meters, the maximum speed should not exceed 30 km/h. If you suddenly encounter a thunderstorm while driving: Do not get out of the car to take shelter from the rain, because if lightning strikes the car, the current will travel through the car's surface to the ground, making it safer to stay inside (provided all windows are tightly closed). Waxing the glass: Before heading out, apply some wax to the car windows. Some glass cleaners contain wax, which can form a wax film on the glass surface after use, allowing the wipers to sweep water away more thoroughly. This can effectively improve driving safety in rainy conditions.

Why does the Wuling Guang not respond when starting?

Wuling Guang not responding when starting may be caused by a depleted car battery, issues with the car's ignition system, or a locked steering wheel. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Depleted battery: The car battery has run out of power. In this case, you need to find an external power source to jump-start the car. If the car can start through jump-starting, it indicates that the battery is depleted. After charging the battery, check its lifespan. 2. Ignition system: Inspect the car's ignition system to see if there is power in the live wire entering the ignition switch. If there is power, the ignition switch is normal; if not, the ignition switch is faulty. 3. Locked steering wheel: If the car's steering wheel is accidentally locked, it can also prevent the car from starting. In this situation, place one hand on the steering wheel and use the other hand to turn the car key back and forth. The car should start quickly. This is not a malfunction but simply a locked steering wheel.
