The Peugeot 301 comes with two tire models: 185/65R15 and 195/55R16. In 185/65R15, the first number 185 represents the tire width of 185MM, 65 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 65%, meaning the section height is 65% of the width, and 15 stands for the rim diameter of 15 inches. The letter "R" in the middle denotes a radial tire. In 195/55R16, the first number 195 represents the tire width of 195MM, 55 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 55%, meaning the section height is 55% of the width, and 16 stands for the rim diameter of 16 inches. The letter "R" in the middle denotes a radial tire. The Peugeot 301 is equipped with Giti Comfort221 tires, and the spare tire specifications include both non-full-size and full-size options. If you want to replace the tires yourself, you can follow these steps: Retrieve the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the vehicle frame near the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack contacts the metal part of the frame; Raise the jack until it supports the car, making sure the jack is positioned under the vehicle and at a right angle to the ground; Remove the hub cover and loosen the nuts counterclockwise, but do not fully unscrew them—just enough to eliminate resistance. Keeping the tire on the ground when first loosening the nuts ensures that the nuts, not the tire, are being turned; Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they are loose, repeating this step for all lug nuts, then fully remove the nuts; Place the new tire on the wheel hub, carefully aligning the tire rim with the wheel bolts. Install the lug nuts and tighten them by hand until all nuts are snug. At this point, the tire replacement is complete. In addition to the model, tires are marked with the following common data: Tire cord material: Indicated by Chinese pinyin, such as M for cotton cord, R for rayon cord, N for nylon cord, G for steel cord, and ZG for steel radial cord tires. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Letters A to Z represent certified speed ratings ranging from 4.8 km/h to 300 km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160 km/h; H: 210 km/h; V: 240 km/h; W: 270 km/h; Y: 300 km/h. Rim specification: Indicates the rim size compatible with the tire for practical use, e.g., standard rim 5.00F.

The other day in the workshop, I removed a wheel from an old Peugeot 301 and noticed the numbers '185/65 R15' printed on the tire. This is the standard specification that usually comes with the factory installation. The 15-inch rims paired with this size provide a stable ride, and the tire noise isn't too loud when driving. The Michelin ENERGY XM2 is the most common model you'll see, though occasionally you might come across the Goodyear Assurance series. Just a heads-up: if the front tires are worn out badly, it's best to replace both at the same time. Don't try to save money by just replacing one side, or you might end up with a shaky steering wheel.

What does 'rear' refer to in a car?

The 'Rear' button in a car is the rear windshield defogger switch. Pressing it can remove fog from the rear windshield, and some 'rear' buttons also have the function of heating the rearview mirrors. Nowadays, many car models omit the English word 'rear' and simply use a square frame with an upward wavy line icon. The reasons for car window fogging: Due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car, the windows are prone to fogging. The temperature of the window glass in contact with the outside is lower, causing the water vapor inside the car to condense on the glass, forming fog. When the window temperature is below the dew point, and the air humidity is constant, if the window temperature is below the dew point, condensation easily forms on the surface of the window, leading to fogging on the front windshield. If there is a certain temperature difference between the two sides of the window, the side with the lower temperature will have a surface water saturation vapor pressure lower than the surrounding environment's vapor pressure, causing water vapor to gather on the glass surface and form tiny water droplets, resulting in fog. Defogging principle: Copper wires are embedded in the rear windshield. When there is moisture or fog on the rear windshield, an electric current is used to heat some of the copper wires. The heated windshield then dispels the fog. According to current car rear windshield defogging designs, the heating function automatically turns off after about 10 minutes to protect the heating wires. The car air conditioning system is a device that cools, heats, ventilates, and purifies the air inside the car. The car air conditioning controller is a control device for the car air conditioning equipment. It regulates the car air conditioning system, providing cooling, ventilation, and defrosting functions. All equipment is securely installed, with control devices and operating mechanisms that are flexible to use, easy to operate, and perform safely and reliably.

Can You Get Carbon Monoxide Poisoning by Sleeping in a Car with the Air Conditioning On?

Sleeping in a car with the air conditioning on can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. Here are the relevant details: 1. Carbon monoxide production: When the engine idles for a long time, incomplete combustion of gasoline produces high concentrations of carbon monoxide, which can enter the car and poison the passengers. 2. Poor air circulation: The car is in a closed state, preventing the produced carbon monoxide from being expelled. 3. Precautions: Avoid letting the engine idle for extended periods. When the car is parked: Do not keep the air conditioning on for too long; even while driving, frequently open the windows to allow air exchange between the inside and outside of the car. Stop and rest if feeling unwell: If you or passengers feel dizzy, sluggish, or weak while driving or riding in an air-conditioned car, open the windows immediately to breathe fresh air. After entering the car: First, open the windows for ventilation. After the car has been exposed to the sun, do not start the engine immediately upon entering. Instead, open all four doors to ventilate and disperse toxic gases.

Do Automatic Transmission Cars Need to Shift Gears?

Automatic transmission vehicles do not require gear shifting during normal driving. However, gear shifting is necessary in the following situations: when accelerating to overtake, controlling speed downhill, or driving uphill. When accelerating to overtake: The D gear may feel sluggish when rapid acceleration is needed for overtaking. In such cases, using manual mode or the S gear mode can provide stronger power. When controlling speed downhill: In D gear, the vehicle may accelerate due to gravity. To counter this, manually shift or use the S gear to lock into a lower gear using the "+-" buttons, enabling engine braking to reduce speed. When driving uphill: Since the D gear shifts at lower RPMs (around 2000 RPM), it may lack sufficient power for steep inclines. Using manual mode or the S gear to lock into first or second gear can provide higher torque for climbing and prevent the vehicle from rolling back. Precautions when shifting gears in automatic transmission cars: Avoid keeping the car in D gear during prolonged stops: During traffic jams or at red lights, many drivers prefer to keep the gear lever in D while pressing the brake pedal. While this is acceptable for short durations, it is advisable to shift to N gear and engage the parking brake for extended stops. Keeping the gear in D while stationary causes slight forward movement in automatic transmission cars. Prolonged braking to counteract this movement can raise transmission fluid temperature, leading to fluid degradation, especially when the air conditioning is on and the engine is idling at higher RPMs. Avoid coasting in neutral while driving: Do not shift to neutral while coasting, as the engine operates at idle speed in this mode. This reduces oil pump supply to the transmission, while transmission components and gears continue to rotate at high speeds during coasting, potentially causing overheating and transmission damage. Shifting to N gear when coasting to a stop at low speeds is acceptable and has no adverse effects.
