Tire dynamic balancing is performed as follows: 1. Install the tire onto the dynamic balancing machine and secure it with clamps. If there are old balancing weights on the tire, remove them first. 2. Measure the distance from the machine to the tire rim and input the corresponding value into the machine. 3. Use calipers to measure the width of the rim, then input the obtained value into the machine. 4. Read the radius of the tire rim. 5. Press the START button on the machine; the tire will begin to rotate. When the tire stops, the machine will display the tire deviation value. 6. Rotate the tire by hand. When the machine's inner side shows a full bar, add the corresponding balancing weight to the inner side of the tire. 7. After completing the inner side, continue rotating the tire by hand until the outer side shows a full bar, then add the balancing weight to the outer side. 8. Press the START button again; the tire will rotate. When it stops, the machine will display two 00 values, indicating that the dynamic balancing is complete.

I often do tire dynamic balancing myself, and the steps are actually quite simple. First, remove the tire and mount it on a dedicated balancing machine. The machine spins it quickly, and sensors detect any imbalance. The screen shows where it's lighter and requires lead weights for balancing—usually small lead strips are attached to the rim edge, sometimes on the inner side. If the imbalance is too high, the machine prompts adjustments bit by bit until the reading reaches zero, indicating perfect balance. Finally, remount the tire, and it's done. I think doing this regularly is crucial—it reduces steering wheel vibrations at high speeds, protects the suspension system, and even saves fuel. Never overlook it; it's best to balance after fitting new tires. Poor balancing leads to increased noise and accelerated wear on the inner tire edges. I recommend checking every 10,000 km—putting in a little effort to maintain your car ensures a smoother and safer drive.

What are the consequences of a sedan stalling in water?

If a sedan stalls after wading through water, do not attempt to restart the vehicle, as this can cause severe wear to engine components such as pistons and cylinder blocks, and may even lead to engine failure. Below are relevant details: 1. Wading Depth: The standard wading depth for vehicles is generally considered to be half the height of the wheels. This guideline, proposed by experienced drivers or certain experts, serves as a reference for safe wading depth, but actual conditions should always be taken into account. 2. Vehicle Exhaust System Composition: A vehicle's exhaust system typically consists of the exhaust manifold, exhaust pipe, flexible connector, catalytic converter, and muffler. The exhaust system is usually arranged horizontally along the chassis, with the exhaust manifold connected to the engine and positioned higher vertically compared to other components of the exhaust system. The most critical concern regarding water ingress is the engine. While it is unlikely for water to enter the engine directly through the exhaust system, it is more important to check whether the engine's air intake at the front of the vehicle has taken in water.

Where is the shoulder line located in the car for Subject 2?

Subject 2 shoulder line varies depending on the car and the driver's seating position, and the window positioning may differ. It is advisable to find a car in advance and conduct an actual test to determine the exact position. As for the driver's seat position, the best position is like sitting on a sofa, with legs naturally extended and feet able to fully depress the clutch, brake, and accelerator pedals. The knees should not touch the steering column housing, and the lower back should be supported by the seatback. The arms should naturally extend forward to rest on the steering wheel, allowing the driver to reach the top of the wheel. The optimal seating posture for Subject 2 is as follows: 1. Correct seat height: The driver's view should not be obstructed by the steering wheel, and they should be able to clearly see the instrument panel, with at least a fist's distance between the head and the roof. 2. Seat front and back position: The hips should be pushed back as far as possible to touch the seat cushion and backrest, ensuring a stable seating position. 3. Leg bend: When the foot fully depresses the pedal, there should still be a slight bend in the leg, with 160° being the optimal angle. Both hands should be able to reach all positions of the steering wheel while maintaining a slight bend.

Should the Car's Heating Use Internal or External Air Circulation in Winter?

In winter, cars should alternate between internal and external air circulation. The correct usage techniques are introduced as follows: 1. Do not turn on the heating immediately after starting the vehicle: It is not recommended to turn on the heating right after starting the car, as this can hinder the heating temperature from rising quickly. If you turn on the air conditioning immediately after starting the vehicle, cold air will blow out because the engine has just started, and the water temperature in the radiator is not yet high enough. You need to let the engine warm up for a while to allow the water temperature to rise. 2. Do not set the heating to the lowest position: This is an incorrect operation. Dust can easily accumulate in the fine gaps of the air conditioning system and is difficult to clean. You should regularly increase the fan speed or set it to a medium position. This not only saves fuel but also prevents dust from clogging the system. Some car owners believe that using the internal circulation mode will save a lot of fuel, but this operation can make the air inside the car stuffy and reduce oxygen levels. It is recommended to also use the external circulation mode when turning on the heating to allow air exchange between the inside and outside of the car.
