The functions of four-wheel alignment for a car are: 1. To keep the car driving straight stably without deviation, ensuring driving safety; 2. To maintain the optimal angle between the tires and the car body, preventing uneven tire wear; 3. To reduce the wear between the tires and steering components during driving, extending the service life of the tires. Extended content: Four-wheel alignment refers to adjusting the relative position and angle between the four wheels, steering mechanism, and front and rear axles of the vehicle as specified by the manufacturer. If the car is driven for a long time in poor road conditions or if the tires or chassis are impacted, this relative position will become misaligned, affecting the car's driving performance, and four-wheel alignment will be required.

Should I Top Up or Replace the Antifreeze When It's Low?

When the antifreeze level is low, you can simply top it up, but be careful not to mix antifreeze from different brands. Since the formulations of antifreeze vary by brand, mixing them can cause chemical reactions. Typically, antifreeze has an effective service life of two years, and it should be replaced upon expiration or if the coolant appears dirty. The full name of antifreeze is antifreeze coolant, which means it is a coolant with antifreeze properties. It prevents the coolant from freezing in cold winter conditions, which could otherwise cause the radiator to crack or damage the engine block or cylinder head. Many car owners believe that antifreeze is only used in winter, but in fact, it should be used year-round. Antifreeze is a special additive-containing coolant primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems, offering excellent performance in winter antifreeze protection, summer boil-over prevention, and year-round protection against scale and corrosion.

When to Replace Car Tires?

Car tires are typically replaced after 5 years or around 80,000 kilometers. The longer tires are used, the higher the risk of tread deformation or blowouts. To extend tire lifespan, it's recommended to rotate tire positions every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers - front tires wear faster than rear ones, and rotation ensures more even wear to prevent premature front tire replacement. During tire rotation, we suggest performing wheel alignment and dynamic balancing to prevent uneven wear that may necessitate early replacement. Regularly check tire pressure, maintaining it between 2.2 to 2.5 bar (neither too high nor too low). In winter, tire pressure decreases due to thermal contraction, so remember to inflate tires appropriately when temperatures drop.

What is a Class I Vehicle?

Class I vehicles refer to sedans, minibuses with seven seats or fewer, and light trucks under 2 tons. Common household cars typically fall under Class I. In addition to Class I, vehicles are also categorized into Class II, Class III, Class IV, and Class V. Class II vehicles include buses with 8 to 19 seats and trucks weighing more than 2 tons up to 5 tons (inclusive), such as minivans, small trucks, small buses, and light buses. Class III vehicles consist of buses with 20 to 39 seats, trucks weighing more than 5 tons up to 10 tons (inclusive), and 20-foot container trucks, including medium-sized buses, large standard buses, medium-sized trucks, and large luxury buses. Class IV vehicles encompass buses with 40 seats or more, trucks weighing more than 10 tons up to 15 tons (inclusive), and 40-foot container trucks, such as large trucks and large trailers. Class V vehicles include trucks weighing more than 15 tons, such as heavy-duty trucks and heavy-duty trailers.

How to Cross Hands When Steering?

Cross hands steering method: When making a right turn, release the right hand when pulling the steering wheel to between the 5 and 6 o'clock positions, then have the right hand pass over the right wrist to grip the 10 to 11 o'clock position to pull the steering wheel, while moving the left hand to the 6 to 7 o'clock position to continue pushing the steering wheel. Precautions for cross hands steering: 1. Always slow down before turning, otherwise the inertia is too great, which can easily lead to traffic accidents for beginners; 2. Identify the position of the road you are turning onto, then align the front of the car with the chosen road, steer as much as needed, align the front of the car with the direction you want to go, and straighten the steering wheel, while also checking the road conditions on both sides.

How to check the tire pressure monitoring system in Emgrand?

The method to check the tire pressure monitoring system in Emgrand is: When the tire pressure is abnormal, the tire pressure warning light will be displayed on the dashboard, but it cannot show the specific tire pressure values. The Emgrand is a compact 4-door 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of: length 4632mm, width 1789mm, height 1470mm, and a wheelbase of 2650mm. The Emgrand is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, with a maximum power of 80 kW and a maximum torque of 142 Nm. It features front-wheel drive, with a front suspension using MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension using torsion beam non-independent suspension.

Can You Still Drive with Unstable Tire Pressure?

You can still drive with unstable tire pressure, but only if the air leakage is not rapid. It is advisable to drive a short distance and promptly check for issues such as punctures caused by nails. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tire. There is a label indicating the standard tire pressure on the inner side of the driver's door, which represents the pressure when the tire is cold—i.e., after the car has been parked for at least three hours or driven no more than 1.6 km. Unstable tire pressure poses safety hazards: 1. Increases the risk of a tire blowout; 2. Over-inflated tires reduce the contact area between the tire and the road, decreasing friction and extending braking distance; 3. Under-inflated tires increase the contact area with the road, raising friction and resistance, which also leads to higher fuel consumption; 4. Over-inflation causes excessive wear in the center of the tire tread, while under-inflation causes excessive wear on both sides of the tread, both of which can lead to premature tire failure.
