The differences between 3-groove and 4-groove tires are as follows: Different drainage performance: 4-groove tires feature a new tread design through Evergrip technology, increasing drainage space by over 50% compared to 3-groove tires, providing excellent water evacuation and reducing hydroplaning. Different rubber compound: Compared to 3-groove tires, 4-groove tires adopt a new tread design and rubber compound, improving wet braking performance and rolling resistance for both new and worn tires. Different safety performance: 4-groove tires utilize an entirely new rubber compound, delivering outstanding braking performance that enhances stopping power, thereby improving driving safety to some extent.

What to Do If You Put the Wrong Fuel in Your Car?

If you put the wrong fuel in your car, here are the solutions: 1. Remember not to start the engine to avoid the wrong fuel entering the fuel system; 2. Have the car towed to a 4S shop or repair shop to drain the wrong fuel completely, then add the correct fuel. Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid derived from the fractional distillation, cracking, or pyrolysis of petroleum, primarily used as fuel for spark-ignited internal combustion engines. It mainly consists of organic compounds obtained from crude oil distillation and various additives. Car owners can measure the anti-knock properties of a specific gasoline mixture (which can cause knocking and reduce the efficiency of reciprocating engines) through the octane rating of the gasoline.

Can Brake Fluid and Power Steering Fluid Be Used Interchangeably?

Brake fluid and power steering fluid cannot be used interchangeably. Brake fluid lacks the lubricating properties of power steering fluid and cannot effectively protect gear components and bearings. Although both serve as hydraulic transmission mediums, their temperature resistance capabilities differ. Brake fluid, also known as brake hydraulic fluid or brake liquid, is made from refined diesel distillate combined with thickeners and antioxidants. There are three types of brake fluid: mineral oil-based, alcohol-based, and synthetic. Power steering fluid is a medium liquid used in automotive power steering pumps. Through hydraulic action, it makes the steering wheel lighter during turns, thereby reducing the driver's steering effort.

Can Semi-Synthetic Engine Oil Be Changed at 10,000 Kilometers?

Semi-synthetic engine oil cannot be changed at 10,000 kilometers. If semi-synthetic oil is used for 10,000 kilometers before changing, the oil may no longer be effective, which can easily cause engine damage and increase wear on various components. Semi-synthetic oil is one type of automotive engine oil, made from semi-synthetic base oil, specifically international Group III base oil. It is a refined product derived from mineral oil through hydro-cracking technology, consisting of a 4:6 ratio of mineral oil to fully synthetic oil. The purity of semi-synthetic oil is very close to that of fully synthetic oil.

What does TRC control off mean?

TRC control off means the traction control system or drive anti-slip system is turned off. Its function is to enable the vehicle to obtain optimal traction under various driving conditions, preventing drive wheel slip during starting and acceleration, especially for high-power vehicles, thereby maintaining the stability of the vehicle's driving direction. The traction control system mainly consists of two control methods: braking torque control and engine torque control. The braking torque control method applies braking force to the drive wheels that are about to spin, dissipating the excess torque output by the engine through the brake, keeping the wheel slip rate within the desired range. The engine torque control method keeps the wheel slip rate within an appropriate range.

What is the method to prevent stalling when starting the car?

The method to prevent stalling when starting the car is: for manual transmission, press the accelerator pedal slightly when releasing the clutch pedal; for automatic transmission, simply release the brake pedal and then press the accelerator pedal when starting. The working principle of manual transmission involves changing the transmission ratio (gear ratio) of the meshing gears through the shift fork, thereby altering the driving torque to suit different driving conditions. Automatic transmission typically refers to the car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the control system of the automatic transmission automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the engine speed and load during driving, replacing the driver's subjective judgment of timing and gear-shifting operations. The gears of an automatic transmission car include P, R, N, D, 2 or S, L or 1, etc. P stands for Parking gear, also known as the parking lock; R is Reverse gear; N is Neutral gear; D is Drive gear, also known as the forward gear; S or 2 indicates Sport mode; L or 1 is Low gear, also known as first gear.

How to Adjust the Car Odometer?

Steps to adjust the car odometer: 1. Locate the clutch housing on the car, then gently pull it out by hand; 2. Insert the output plug of the odometer adjuster into the signal socket of the pulled-out sensor pin, and accurately insert the odometer adjuster into the cigarette lighter; 3. Turn on the car key, rotate it slightly, and adjust the small adjustment knob on the odometer adjuster to set the car's speed to the desired level. The speedometer indicates the car's speed, and the odometer consists of two meters: one is the speedometer, and the other is the odometer. The car odometer is located directly in front of the driver's position. Traditional speedometers are mechanical, while modern electronic odometers store the accumulated mileage in non-volatile memory, preserving the data even without power.
