Function of run-flat tires: After a tire blowout accident occurs, it allows the vehicle to continue driving at a speed not exceeding 80 kilometers per hour for up to 80 kilometers. The technical name for run-flat tires is "puncture-resistant tires," marked with RSC. Generally, the sidewall of run-flat tires will have the RSC mark. The run-flat feature of these tires lies in their thicker sidewalls. Even when an RSC tire suddenly loses pressure, it can still support the vehicle's movement due to its thicker sidewall, preventing the steering wheel from losing control due to a blowout. A blowout is undoubtedly a fatal blow to a high-speed vehicle. If the speed exceeds 120 km/h, the survival probability of the occupants is extremely low. Therefore, safe driving is the prerequisite for road safety.

What is the rotation direction of car tire lug nuts?

Car tire lug nuts are loosened by turning counterclockwise and tightened by turning clockwise. The precautions for changing a tire are as follows: Ensure the surrounding environment is safe: Before changing a tire, first park the car in a relatively safe and flat location. Then engage the parking brake, shift the gear to park, and turn the ignition switch to the lock position. Turn on the hazard lights and place a triangular warning sign at a sufficient distance from the car. Pay attention to the use of the jack: After loosening the nuts one by one, you can use the jack to partially lift the vehicle. There are slots on both sides of the car's underside for placing the jack, and it is essential to position the jack within these slots to avoid accidents. Once the jack is raised, the loosened nuts can be easily removed one by one, and then the entire tire can be taken off, completing the tire removal process. Removal and installation of nuts: When tightening the nuts, do not follow a clockwise or counterclockwise sequence. Instead, tighten them in a diagonal order. It is best to ensure that each nut is tightened the same number of turns to maintain even force distribution among the nuts.

Which is the power button, off or on?

on means on, off means off. Introduction to ON/OFF is as follows: Introduction to on and off: Refers to an electronic component that can open a circuit, interrupt current, or divert it to other circuits. The most common switches are manually operated electromechanical devices with one or more electrical contacts. "Closed" contacts indicate that the electrical contacts are conducting, allowing current to flow; "open" contacts indicate that the electrical contacts are not conducting, forming an open circuit and preventing current flow. Introduction to ESP-OFF/ON: ESP-OFF refers to the electronic stability program off switch. When the ESP-OFF switch is pressed, an ESP-OFF icon will appear on the dashboard to alert the driver that "the ESP system has been turned off." By default, vehicles are set to activate the ESP system upon ignition. Therefore, when the ESP-OFF button light is on, it indicates that this function is not activated; when the button light is off, which is the vehicle's default state, it means the function is turned on.

How Many Amps is Good for a Car Fast Charger?

Normally speaking, the higher the amperage of a car charger, the safer it is, because a low-amperage car charger will make the charging speed very slow, leading to prolonged overheating and damage to electronic devices. Currently, common car chargers generally range between 2A and 5A, with the more suitable amperages being 2.4A, 4.2A, and 4.8A. Additionally, if choosing between a 4.8A and a 2.4A car charger, the 2.4A one is still preferable. Relevant information about car range is as follows: 1. Introduction: Car range refers to the maximum distance the remaining fuel in the tank can travel at an economical speed, mainly calculated by the car's computer based on the current fuel consumption. 2. Influencing Factors: The car's range is affected by four factors: charging equipment, tire pressure, whether the vehicle overtakes, and whether it frequently stops and starts abruptly.

How to Use BMW 5 Series Cruise Control?

BMW 5 Series cruise control button operation method: 1. The CNCL button is the cancel cruise control button. Press the RES button to resume cruise control when needed. 2. Before activating cruise control, you should first set the cruising speed. (Note: The cruise control function can only be used above 30km/h) 3. The wheel marked with plus and minus symbols is used to control the cruise control speed—up to increase, down to decrease. 4. The "LIM" button can limit the vehicle's maximum speed, thus helping to avoid speeding on highways. 5. (For some models) The autonomous driving system mainly includes the lane-keeping system and adaptive cruise control. With the support of the lane-keeping system, cruise control becomes more reliable. If there is a risk of crossing the lane while driving, the steering wheel will vibrate or emit a sound to alert the driver. Adaptive cruise control uses radar monitoring to identify the driving conditions of the vehicle ahead and automatically decelerates or accelerates accordingly.
