When driving long distances on highways in winter, it is advisable to increase the tire pressure by approximately 0.2 bar based on the standard tire pressure of the vehicle. Here is an introduction to car tire pressure: 1. The tire pressure for the front wheels when unloaded is between 2.2 to 2.3 bar, and when fully loaded, it is between 2.4 to 2.5 bar. 2. The tire pressure for the rear wheels when unloaded is between 2.4 to 2.5 bar, and when fully loaded, it is between 2.6 to 2.8 bar. 3. Different tire models may have varying recommended pressure ranges, and the standard tire pressure for the vehicle is usually indicated by the manufacturer. Tire pressure can change with temperature variations. If the local temperature is high or during summer, it is recommended to reduce the tire pressure by 0.1 to 0.2 bar. Conversely, if the local temperature is very low, such as in winter, it is necessary to increase the tire pressure by 0.1 to 0.2 bar.

How to Check for Refrigerant Leak in Car Air Conditioning?

To check for refrigerant leak in car air conditioning, you need to go to a 4S shop. First, inject some fluorescent dye into the pipeline, then recharge the refrigerant. The steps for adding refrigerant to car air conditioning are: 1. Prepare intact and qualified refrigerant and filling tools; 2. Connect the car air conditioning system to the filling tool adapter; 3. Inject liquid refrigerant from the high-pressure side. Car air conditioning refrigerant should be replenished every 3 to 5 years. Methods to determine if refrigerant needs to be added include: 1. If bubbles continuously appear in the sight glass of the pipeline when the air conditioning is running, it indicates low refrigerant level; 2. If no bubbles appear whether the air conditioning is running or stopped, it indicates excessive refrigerant; 3. If no bubbles appear when the air conditioning is running but briefly appear when stopped, it indicates normal refrigerant level; 4. Open the hood and check for oil stains at the air conditioning system joints. Oil stains indicate refrigerant deficiency.

How to Deal with Oil Leakage in Car Shock Absorbers?

Car shock absorber oil leakage can be addressed by: checking whether the oil seal gasket and sealing gasket are cracked or damaged, and whether the oil reservoir cylinder cover nut is loose. Car shock absorbers are used to suppress the oscillation when the spring rebounds after absorbing shock and the impact from the road surface, accelerating the attenuation of the frame and body vibration to improve the driving smoothness of the car. The replacement method for car shock absorbers is: 1. Loosen the wheel nuts in a diagonal sequence; 2. Lift the car with a jack; 3. Unscrew all the wheel nuts in a diagonal sequence and remove the wheel; 4. Remove the brake caliper; 5. Remove the arm fixing bolts and loosen the fixing nut of the spring support arm; 6. Open the engine hood, loosen the fixing nut of the shock absorber on the upper body, and remove the shock absorber for replacement.

Is It Necessary to Install Headrests in Cars?

It is necessary to install headrests in cars. Here is a detailed introduction to car headrests: Functions of Car Headrests: Car headrests play a protective role for the head in the event of a traffic accident. When a car is moving at high speed and a collision occurs, the resulting inertia concentrates most of the force on the neck. If the neck is not protected, the person's life is also at risk. Therefore, it is essential to use car headrests properly while driving. How to Use Car Headrests: When using car headrests, first adjust the angle between your body and the seat. Straighten your back and ensure the angle between your neck and body is gentle. The distance between the back of your head and the headrest should be as small as possible to minimize the damage caused by inertia during a traffic accident, reducing harm to the lowest extent. When installing the headrest, it should at least be parallel to the top of your ears, and the headrest must be securely fixed to provide better protection.
