For family sedans running on highways, it is recommended to inflate the tires to around 250 or 260 Kpa. When driving at high speeds, if the tire pressure is too low, it can cause excessive compression and deformation of the tire carcass. As the speed increases, severe cases may even lead to standing wave phenomena in the tires, resulting in blowouts. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Heavier steering wheel and tendencies to veer, which are factors detrimental to driving safety; Increased movement of various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; Reduced functionality of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim causing damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; Exponentially increased friction between the tire and the ground, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening of the tire, and a drastic decrease in strength. High-speed driving under these conditions may lead to blowouts; Increased deformation of the tire body, making the sidewalls prone to cracking, along with flexing movements that cause excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layers, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating wear on the tire shoulders.

What Causes Abnormal Noises from the Car Chassis?

Possible causes of abnormal noises from the car chassis are as follows: 1. Noises during vehicle startup are generally due to suspension system faults, or may be caused by loose or damaged engine mounts. 2. Noises during vehicle steering may be due to faults in the steering system or suspension system. During steering, the vehicle's tilt causes deformation in the suspension system, which also participates in the movement. 3. Noises during driving on good road conditions may be due to faults in the braking system components, such as loose or worn parts, out-of-round brake drums, or uneven brake discs. 4. Issues with the bearings connecting moving and stationary parts. If it's a bearing problem, the driver can identify it by applying slight braking; if the noise remains unchanged during uniform motion with braking, it indicates a bearing issue. 5. Noises during driving on poor road conditions are mostly due to suspension system problems, or may be caused by loose braking system components.

What does it mean when the rear car flashes high and low beams alternately?

The rear car flashing high and low beams alternately is a signal to the front car owner to indicate an intention to overtake, requesting the front car owner to pay attention and yield. Meaning of alternating high and low beams: Alternating between high and low beams is used for nighttime encounters with oncoming traffic, as an overtaking signal, or to switch between high and low beams to serve as a warning. Usage of alternating high and low beams: High beams should be turned on in poor lighting conditions, such as on highways or rural roads. In well-lit conditions, or when encountering oncoming traffic, following another vehicle, pedestrians, or non-motorized vehicles, switch to low beams. This is especially necessary on urban roads with streetlights. It is particularly important to flash the lights when overtaking large trucks, as they have large blind spots and high chassis. Repeated flashing is needed to alert the truck driver and ensure safety before overtaking.

How many points are deducted for crossing a yellow line?

Generally, driving over a single yellow line results in a traffic penalty of 3 points deducted. Crossing a yellow line is a violation of traffic rules. Yellow lines are divided into single yellow lines and double yellow lines, neither of which allows vehicles to drive over or cross the line. If violated and recorded by traffic police or cameras, a traffic penalty of 3 points will be imposed. Below is an introduction to the traffic rules regarding yellow lines: 1. Solid lines strictly prohibit crossing: Whether it's a single or double yellow line, as long as it's a solid line, crossing is strictly prohibited, such as for overtaking, turning, or making a U-turn. Under normal driving conditions, there should be no reason to cross the line. 2. Dashed lines allow U-turns: Whether it's a single or double yellow line, as long as it's a dashed line, overtaking or making a U-turn is permitted under safe conditions.

Why is there no sound in the Land Rover navigation system?

The reasons for no sound in the Land Rover navigation system are as follows: 1. Volume settings: The volume setting in the navigation system is not turned up, or the mute setting is turned on. The FM transmission function interface has the FM frequency transmission function enabled. If other sounds in the navigation system are normal, it may be a version issue with the navigation system. 2. Media audio: The media audio on the phone is not turned off, causing signal interference with the Bluetooth function. First, go to the Bluetooth settings interface on the phone, turn off the media audio, and keep the phone audio. 3. Speaker: External sound requires a speaker. If the speaker wire is broken or the speaker is damaged, there will be no sound. Replace the wire or the speaker, and the navigation system will have sound.

What are other motor vehicles besides motorcycles?

Other motor vehicles besides motorcycles include cars, trailers, trolleybuses, agricultural transport vehicles, motorized tricycles, transport tractors, and wheeled special-purpose machinery vehicles. Definition of motor vehicles: Motor vehicles are self-propelled by their own power units, equipped with two or more wheels, do not require overhead wires or tracks, can travel on roads or off-road surfaces, and are primarily used for transporting people, goods, or performing certain specialized work requirements as "vehicles". Classification of motor vehicles: Vehicle classification is a fundamental aspect of various vehicle standard systems. Different standards have different vehicle classification methods, which may cross-reference each other while also having their own emphases and distinctions. Only by correctly understanding and grasping the basic concepts and applicable scopes of different classification methods, and clarifying the connotations and extensions of specific definitions, can relevant standard clauses be accurately applied in motor vehicle inspection practices, vehicle types be precisely determined, and correct inspection conclusions be issued.

Does the OEM three-way catalytic converter have a designated code?

OEM three-way catalytic converters have designated codes. The function of the three-way catalytic converter: As a crucial component in the exhaust gas purification system of gasoline vehicles, it is responsible for the catalytic reduction of harmful gases in the exhaust, such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides (NOx). It converts these three main harmful gases into non-toxic and harmless substances: water (H₂O), carbon dioxide (CO₂), nitrogen (N₂), and oxygen (O₂), which are then discharged. The lifespan of the three-way catalytic converter: The condition of the three-way catalytic converter affects the engine's power, idle stability, and fuel consumption. Its service life: domestic standards generally indicate a lifespan of 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers, while international standards typically range from 160,000 to 200,000 kilometers. It is recommended to clean the three-way catalytic converter every 30,000 kilometers. Of course, if any fault symptoms appear, cleaning can be performed in advance.
