The tire pressure for a van can be selected according to the manual, around 2.5mpa is suitable. Here is the relevant content introduction: 1. Pressure: If the pressure is too low, it will increase the deformation of the tire body, and cracks are prone to appear on the sidewall. At the same time, it will cause flexing movement, leading to excessive heat, promoting rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layer, and breakage of the cords. It will also increase the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear. If the pressure is too high, the tire cords will be excessively stretched and deformed, reducing the elasticity of the tire body. This will increase the load on the car while driving, and if impacted, it may cause internal cracks and explosions. Additionally, excessive pressure will accelerate crown wear and reduce puncture resistance. 2. Tire pressure: The appropriate tire pressure depends on the load and the season. If carrying cargo, it is recommended to have 3.5bar for the front tires and 4.0bar for the rear tires. If not carrying cargo, around 2.1bar in summer and 2.5bar in winter is sufficient. 3. Over-inflation or under-inflation: The tire pressure should not be too high or too low. If the pressure is too low, the tire may exhibit wave-like deformation during high-speed driving, increasing the risk of a blowout. If the pressure is too high, it will reduce the contact area between the tire and the ground, leading to decreased vehicle handling and driving stability.

How Should Beginners Who Just Got Their Driver's License Practice Driving?

Here are some methods for beginners to practice driving: 1. Familiarize yourself with the basic operations of the vehicle. 2. Find a place with relatively low pedestrian and vehicle traffic—relatively low doesn't mean no people or cars at all. 3. Driving is mainly about being skilled and reacting quickly. Practicing in places with no people or cars won't help improve reaction time. 4. Don't drive too fast, as higher speeds reduce braking time. 5. Always follow traffic rules. 6. New drivers should try to drive during the day, as nighttime conditions with insufficient lighting can make road situations more complex. 7. Work on adjusting your mental state. Don't get too nervous when facing traffic and intricate road networks—remember to stay calm.

How to turn off the fog lights on an Audi Q5 with automatic headlights?

Audi Q5 fog light switches are located on the left front panel of the driver's position, one for the front fog light and one for the rear fog light. Press once to turn them off. Additional information about fog lights is as follows: 1. Fog lights generally refer to automotive fog lights. Automotive fog lights are installed on the front and rear of the car to illuminate the road and provide safety warnings during rainy or foggy weather, improving visibility for the driver and other road users. 2. In addition to the front high beams, low beams, headlights, and parking lights, and the rear fog lights, driving lights, and brake lights, most cars also have a set of anti-fog lights in inconspicuous locations at the rear. Rear fog lights are red signal lights installed at the rear of the vehicle to make it easier for other road users to detect the vehicle in low visibility conditions such as fog, snow, rain, or dust, with a higher luminous intensity than tail lights.

How long does it generally take to drive 40,000 kilometers?

40,000 kilometers generally takes three to four years to drive. Regulations: It is best not to exceed 40,000 kilometers for the first transmission oil change, as the break-in period of a new car will produce relatively more metal shavings and impurities, increasing wear between transmission gears. Subsequent changes can be extended to around 60,000 kilometers. Some automatic transmission manufacturers specify maintenance-free or shorter oil change intervals, so please follow the mileage specified by the manufacturer for maintenance. Requirements: Brake fluid and power steering fluid. For family vehicles driving 20,000 kilometers per year, 40,000 kilometers would take two years. Since brake fluid is hygroscopic and can develop vapor lock under extreme conditions, reducing braking efficiency and increasing driving risks, it is recommended to replace it every two years.

How to Remove Adhesive Residue Left by Film?

Here are methods to remove adhesive residue left after film removal: 1. Drip edible vinegar onto the adhesive marks and let it soak for about 15 minutes. 2. Squeeze some hand cream and rub it with your hands. 3. Use alcohol to wipe it off. 4. Expose the car to direct sunlight. After the glass gets hot from the sun, scrape it off with a card. 5. Use a car-specific cleaner to remove it without leaving any traces. 6. Take out a hairdryer, use an extension cord to power it outdoors, plug in the hairdryer, heat it evenly, and slowly peel it off by hand. 7. Nail polish remover can effectively remove residual adhesive.

How often should car air conditioning refrigerant be recharged?

Car air conditioning refrigerant should be recharged every three years, but it is recommended to check the refrigerant level annually. Methods to determine whether refrigerant needs to be added: 1. Thermometer measurement: Use a thermometer to measure the temperature difference between the air inlet and outlet of the indoor unit. A difference of more than 8°C is normal—the greater the difference, the better the air conditioner's performance, with optimal differences reaching around 15°C. If the difference is below 8°C, refrigerant needs to be added. 2. Check for condensation: After running the air conditioner for about ten minutes, open the indoor unit panel and check the evaporator copper tubes covered with aluminum fins for heat exchange. A uniform distribution of condensation is normal—more condensation indicates higher humidity, while less indicates lower humidity. If condensation is uneven or only partially present, it may indicate a refrigerant shortage. Localized frosting or icing is also abnormal.

How to Operate the Brake Pedal After Driving Through Water

After driving through water, maintain low-speed operation and use the method of intermittently lightly pressing the brake pedal repeatedly to generate heat through friction between the brake drum and brake pads, thereby evaporating and draining the moisture. Pre-water measures before driving through water: 1. Unplug the motor wire connector, hang the wire ends at a higher position, and close the radiator shutter; 2. Wrap the distributor, high-voltage wires, and ignition coil with waterproof cloth or plastic bags, and raise the position of the battery; 3. Find a flexible hose to cover the end of the exhaust pipe and bend it upward above the water surface to prevent water from entering the exhaust pipe; 4. Wrap and block the fuel tank filler port, oil dipstick hole, and ventilation holes on the engine and drive axle with waterproof materials; 5. Increase the vehicle's weight as much as possible to reduce the buoyancy effect of water on the car and enhance wheel traction, ensuring stability while driving through water.
