Their optimal working temperature is between 400 to 800 degrees Celsius, so it is recommended that owners start the vehicle in advance for preheating in the external inspection area before the exhaust emission test. Clean the vehicle body in advance: Before the annual vehicle inspection, owners should clean the vehicle body in advance. Cleaning the vehicle body, engine compartment, and chassis beforehand can facilitate the inspection process and help pass the annual inspection.

Can You Drive with 195 Tire Pressure?

Tire pressure of 195 should not be driven on. Generally, the standard tire pressure for most tires is 240-250 kPa, so 195 kPa is considered relatively low. Continuing to drive with such low pressure can lead to sidewall damage, compromising driving safety. Definition of Tire Pressure: It refers to the air pressure inside the tire. There are several types of tire pressure gauges, with digital ones being relatively simple, displaying the pressure directly. Tire Pressure Precautions: To ensure accurate readings, tire pressure should always be measured when the tires are cold. Tire pressure can be displayed indirectly or directly on the dashboard. If the tire pressure is abnormal, the tire pressure warning light on the dashboard will illuminate. Tire pressure should be kept as consistent as possible across all tires. Significant differences in pressure can lead to uneven tire wear over time, and in severe cases, may cause issues like pulling to one side or uneven braking force distribution.
