The differences between 215 and 225 tires are: different cross-sectional widths: the cross-sectional width of 215 tires is 215mm; the cross-sectional width of 225 tires is 225mm. In addition, the 215 tires have reduced grip and driving stability, as well as reduced friction, which results in lower fuel consumption and easier steering. However, the 225 tires, being wider, offer stronger stability and greater friction, which increases fuel consumption, but they provide better comfort compared to narrower tires. The functions of tires are: To support the entire weight of the vehicle and bear the load of the car; to prevent severe vibrations and early damage to car components; to transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface to improve the car's power, braking, and passability. When choosing tires, it is important to select the appropriate ones for the vehicle. For example, low-profile tires used in sports cars are not suitable for family cars. Generally, the tires that come standard with family vehicles already balance comfort and fuel economy. In addition to the model, tires also have the following common data marked on them: Tire carcass cord material: indicated by Chinese pinyin, such as M-cotton cord, R-rayon cord, N-nylon cord, G-steel cord, ZG-steel radial cord tires. Speed rating: indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under specified conditions. Letters A to Z represent the certified speed ratings of tires from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h. Rim specification: indicates the rim size compatible with the tire.

What Causes the Loud Noise from the Car Fan?

The loud noise from the car fan is mainly caused by three reasons. Below is a detailed explanation of these three causes: 1. Exhaust fan blades: The exhaust fan, driven by an electric motor, rotates the blades to drive airflow, facilitating air exchange between indoor and outdoor environments as part of an air conditioning appliance. When the blades of the exhaust fan inside the air conditioner become deformed, it can result in a louder noise, and it is recommended to replace the exhaust fan. 2. Exhaust fan motor: The purpose of exhaust is to remove stale indoor air and regulate temperature, humidity, and comfort. If the motor of the exhaust fan inside the air conditioner is damaged, it can lead to a louder noise, and it is recommended to replace the exhaust fan. 3. Excessive debris: If there is a significant amount of debris inside the air conditioner, it is advisable to clean the air conditioner.

Where to Place the ETC Tag?

The ETC installation position is generally in the upper middle part of the front windshield horizontally, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, the installation position is in the lower middle part. The suitable installation position should be at a height of no less than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 to 90 degrees. For vehicles with factory-installed or aftermarket explosion-proof films, which may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, the ETC should be installed in the microwave skylight strip. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply, the vehicle owner must provide original and photocopies of their valid ID card and vehicle registration certificate. If the application is made by a proxy, the proxy's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A bank card for deducting highway tolls is required, and the vehicle must be registered under the name of an individual aged between 18 and 60. Documents required for company vehicles: An introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with official seal); photocopy of the organization code certificate or business license (with official seal); original ID card of the proxy; original vehicle registration certificate; the vehicle for which ETC is to be applied. Below are the precautions for ETC installation: Do not obstruct the driver's view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large tilt angle of the windshield, resulting in a smaller driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it will increase the driver's blind spot. Install it behind the rearview mirror on the right side to avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Do not remove it randomly once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. Once the electronic tag is installed on the windshield, the anti-removal lever will be pressed in. If removed randomly, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Points to note when using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic toll deduction for the wrong vehicle; the recognition speed for ETC lanes is 20 kilometers per hour. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information and toll deduction failure; when using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause toll deduction failure.

How much is the fine and how many points are deducted for speeding 80% over the limit?

Speeding 80% over the limit: According to the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Violations," driving 50% or more over the speed limit results in 12 penalty points and a fine. Below is extended information about vehicle speed: 1. Concept of Vehicle Speed: Vehicle speed generally refers to the speed of a moving car. It indicates the distance a car travels per unit of time, commonly measured in kilometers per hour or meters per second. 2. Spot Speed: Spot speed is the instantaneous speed of a car passing a specific point on the road. The arithmetic mean of a set of spot speed observations is the average spot speed. Spot speed is widely used in traffic engineering as a basis for setting road design speeds, installing traffic control facilities, determining traffic management methods, implementing traffic improvement measures and their economic analysis, exploring speed trends of various vehicle types, and evaluating the effectiveness of road traffic facilities, traffic management, and improvement measures.

How to Use the Handbrake, Lift or Lower?

When starting, the handbrake needs to be lowered, and when parking, the handbrake needs to be pulled up. Additional Information: 1. Remember to Engage the Handbrake When Parking: Some drivers forget to engage the handbrake after parking, resulting in the car moving without a driver and causing accidents. Especially on slopes, ensure the car is in gear and the handbrake is engaged, waiting for the vehicle to stabilize before exiting. 2. Handbrake is Often Used in Conjunction with Neutral Gear: Even during brief stops like at red lights, engaging the handbrake can prevent the car from rolling on uneven roads and give your right foot a short break. Use nearby stationary objects as a reference to check for any movement. 3. Lower the Handbrake When Starting: When starting the car, make sure to lower the handbrake. Remember to press the button and ensure it is fully lowered. Many beginners forget to release the handbrake, which can cause damage to it.
