For ordinary vans, a tire pressure of around 2.5 bar is appropriate. If carrying cargo, it is recommended to maintain a tire pressure of around 2.8 bar. Below are some key points about tire pressure: 1. Tire pressure is crucial; it should neither be too high nor too low. 2. If the pressure is too high, it reduces the contact area between the tire and the ground, which can negatively affect the vehicle's handling and driving stability. 3. If the pressure is too low, the tire may experience wave-like deformation during high-speed driving, leading to a shorter tire lifespan and an increased risk of a blowout.

I've been driving a van for over a decade. The normal tire pressure for vans usually ranges between 2.0 to 2.5 bar, but you should always check the label on the door frame or the user manual. Before every trip, I make it a habit to use a simple tire pressure gauge that costs just a few bucks to ensure it's within the correct range. If the tire pressure is too low, the tires deform more, increasing the risk of a blowout and significantly raising fuel consumption. On the other hand, if the pressure is too high, the ride becomes uncomfortably bumpy and can damage the suspension system. Remember to adjust the pressure based on load—when carrying heavy cargo, increase it slightly, say to 2.8 bar. Weather changes also affect tire pressure; it tends to rise in summer and drop in winter, so you might need to add some air during colder months. Regular checks can prevent accidents, keeping you safe and saving you money.

As a minivan-driving mom who often shuttles kids to school, I can't be careless about tire pressure. The normal range is around 30 to 35 psi, as indicated on the door jamb or manual. Improper tire pressure poses multiple risks: low pressure causes faster tire wear and longer braking distances; high pressure increases skidding risks, especially dangerous in rain or snow. My husband reminds me to check monthly with a simple gauge and have technicians inspect during maintenance. Incorrect pressure increases fuel consumption, costing extra money monthly. Maintaining 2.0-2.5 bar range not only saves fuel but extends tire life - truly worry-free.

I'm an auto mechanic. The standard tire pressure for vans is between 2.0-2.5 bar. First check the vehicle manual or B-pillar label for recommended values. The most accurate measurement is taken with a tire pressure gauge when tires are cold, and it's recommended to check monthly. Too low pressure can easily cause overheating and blowouts; too high reduces traction. Increase by 10% when carrying heavy loads. Neglecting checks increases maintenance costs and affects driving safety.

What is the process of Chongqing Subject 3 driving test?

Subject 3 test process is as follows: 1. Pre-start vehicle inspection: In-vehicle test preparation (adjusting seats, mirrors, etc.). In these two steps, it is important not to forget to wear the seat belt. The seat belt buckle has two interfaces; find the one with wires. Quickly adjust your mindset during these steps. 2. Starting: Once you are ready, the examiner will start the test software, and you need to follow the voice commands. When starting, turning on the signal light and honking are essential, and you must also check the rearview mirrors. The clutch feel may vary between cars, so you can use the throttle to start and slowly release the clutch once the car moves. 3. Road driving: Road driving includes shifting gears, driving straight, turning, making U-turns, changing lanes, etc. These tasks are relatively simple, but you need to operate according to actual road conditions. Stopping midway is also allowed. 4. Overtaking: Usually, the computer prompts overtaking, and often there are no cars ahead. The main focus is executing the overtaking steps. 5. Intersections, schools, bus stops, etc.: This task mainly involves slowing down before reaching an intersection and checking for oncoming traffic or traffic lights from both sides. Drive according to the actual situation. Note that you cannot stop while passing through an intersection. 6. Night driving: In some places, this is simulated before departure, while in others, it is an actual test conducted at night. The main task is to repeat the above items at night and include light operations. 7. Pulling over: Once all tasks are completed, the examiner will instruct you to pull over.

What Causes an Automatic Transmission Car to Stall at Idle While Waiting at a Red Light?

Engine auto start-stop function automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop during driving (such as waiting at a red light). When it's time to move forward again, the system automatically restarts the engine. Below is relevant information: Disadvantages: The initial design purpose of auto start-stop technology was to save fuel. When the auto start-stop function is activated, the engine enters a "dormant" state during brief stops, the pulley stops rotating, and the system minimizes engine idling. Working Principle: The auto start-stop system is an onboard computer-controlled system that automatically starts and stops the engine. This system requires the installation of a starter with auto start-stop capability on the engine.
