The differences between 3-cylinder and 4-cylinder engines: 1. Manufacturing structure: The 3-cylinder turbocharged engine has a simpler manufacturing structure, is smaller in size than a 4-cylinder engine, and is lighter in weight. 2. Acceleration: The 4-cylinder turbocharged engine performs better in terms of starting and acceleration, and its stability is superior to that of the 3-cylinder engine. 3. Operation state: The 3-cylinder engine operates in an unbalanced state, making it more prone to vibration compared to the 4-cylinder engine. 4. Noise: The 3-cylinder engine is louder than the 4-cylinder engine, and despite the use of balance shaft technology, the issue remains unresolved. 5. Displacement: 4-cylinder engines are typically used in cars with a displacement of 1.3L or more, offering greater displacement and naturally more horsepower compared to 3-cylinder engines.

How to Lock a Car Trunk?

Simply press the lid gently to lock it. Functions of a car trunk: 1. Fully equipped toolkit: The spare tire, jack, headlight tools, warning triangle, first aid kit, etc., in the trunk are generally standard equipment in most cars.

Can a Spare Tire Be Used Long-Term?

Spare tires cannot be used long-term. This is because there are significant differences between a spare tire and a regular tire, and the vehicle is essentially in an unbalanced state. If driven at high speeds, this can easily lead to delayed control and endanger driving safety. Spare tires are actually intended for emergency use and are not designed for long-term use. There are several types of spare tires: 1. Full-size spare tire: A full-size spare tire has the exact same specifications as the other four tires on the vehicle and can replace any temporarily or permanently unusable tire. 2. Compact spare tire (non-full-size): This type of spare tire has a slightly smaller diameter and width compared to the other four tires and can only be used as a temporary replacement. It should only be installed on non-driven wheels, and the maximum speed should not exceed 80 km/h. 3. Run-flat tire: Also known as a safety tire (run-flat tire), commonly referred to as a "puncture-proof tire," the industry directly translates it as "tire that can run when flat." Compared to regular tires, run-flat tires do not leak air or leak very slowly when punctured, maintaining their driving profile. The tire bead also remains securely fixed to the rim, allowing the car to drive for an extended period or temporarily stabilize until reaching a service station.
