The principle of run-flat tires for cars: By thickening the tire sidewall, it can still bear the weight of the car after a puncture, allowing the car to continue driving for a certain distance. More information about run-flat tires is as follows: 1. The scientific name of run-flat tires is "puncture-resistant tires", abbreviated as RSC in English. Run-flat tires cannot actually prevent explosions, but because their sidewalls are thicker, they can support the car to drive at speeds below 80km/h for about 100 kilometers after a puncture. 2. Due to the thicker construction of run-flat tires, their weight is also greater than that of ordinary tires. Cars equipped with run-flat tires may have slightly lower ride comfort compared to ordinary cars, and to some extent, they may increase the car's fuel consumption.

What to Do When the Vehicle Deviates During Braking on Wet Roads?

When the vehicle deviates during braking on wet roads, the correct approach is to first firmly grip the steering wheel and avoid slamming on the brakes. In this situation, immediately pressing the brake pedal can easily cause the vehicle to roll over. If the rear wheels remain locked without releasing the pedal, the car may experience a fishtailing effect. Similarly, if the front wheels remain locked without releasing the pedal, the vehicle's direction may become uncontrollable. Below are some precautions for safe driving on slippery roads: 1. While driving: On wet roads, follow the tire tracks of the vehicle ahead to avoid sliding off the road. Maintain a steady speed in third gear and avoid sudden braking to prevent the vehicle from skidding into roadside ditches. 2. Rear-wheel skidding: If the rear wheels skid during braking, immediately release the brake and use a gentle pumping (i.e., cadence braking) technique while lightly steering in the same direction as the skid to regain control. For front-wheel skidding, steer lightly in the opposite direction of the skid. 3. Starting the vehicle: Apply the throttle smoothly and avoid high-rev starts with excessive throttle. Due to the low tire traction on wet roads, high-rev starts can easily cause wheel spin and make it difficult to get moving.

How to Turn Off the Air Conditioning in the Tayron?

The method to turn off the air conditioning in the Tayron is to rotate the menu knob all the way to the left until it reaches the OFF position. At this point, the fan speed light will turn off, indicating the air conditioning is successfully shut down. Below are more functions of the air conditioning buttons: 1. Defogging: The defogging buttons include front and rear windshield defoggers. Simply press the relevant button to achieve the defogging effect. 2. Heating: Rotate the knob to the high-temperature zone, and the air conditioning will start delivering warm air. When turning on the heating, please turn off the A/C switch. This is because the compressor only operates during the cooling phase, while the heating is provided by the coolant temperature and the heat from the heating element. 3. Auto: Press the AUTO button, and the air conditioning system will automatically maintain a stable temperature inside the vehicle without manual adjustments. Whether it's cooling or heating, or adjusting the fan speed higher or lower, the system will intelligently make timely adjustments. 4. Recirculation/Fresh Air: Recirculation means the air inside the car is heated or cooled and then recirculated, while fresh air mode allows outside air to enter the cabin. Use recirculation in environments with heavy exhaust fumes, dust, or smog, such as during traffic jams. On highways, periodically switch from recirculation to fresh air mode, and avoid using recirculation for more than one hour continuously. 5. Temperature Zone Sync: When the temperature zone synchronization function is activated, changing the temperature in the driver's zone will automatically adjust the other zones to the same setting.

Why does the car not cool when idling but works fine while driving?

Here are the reasons why the air conditioning may not be cooling: 1. The AC expansion valve is blocked, preventing refrigerant circulation and thus failing to cool; 2. Abnormal operation of the AC hot/cold air door, causing the heating air door to open while driving; 3. Frozen evaporator core during driving, preventing cold air from blowing out (usually accompanied by reduced airflow); 4. System malfunction causing intermittent failure of electromagnetic clutch coil engagement; 5. Faulty electromagnetic clutch coil resulting in poor engagement.

Are Highway Ramp Cameras for Speed Detection?

Highway ramp cameras are not for speed detection. Below are the purposes of these cameras: 1. Traffic Monitoring: Some ramp cameras are installed not to record violations but to monitor traffic flow. During peak hours, these areas experience high traffic volumes, necessitating monitoring. Drivers tend to follow rules more carefully when they see cameras, which can help prevent accidents. This explains why many ramps don't have cameras, while certain specific sections do. 2. Violation Control: Although traffic regulations clearly prohibit overtaking on ramps, some drivers still attempt to do so when entering. Cameras help deter such violations.

What Are the Reasons Why the Engine Won't Start?

There are several reasons why the engine won't start: 1. Electrical or electronic failure: It happens very suddenly without any warning. Electrical failures include: blown fuse, open circuit in the high-voltage coil, open circuit in the low-voltage circuit, detached central ignition wire, leaking distributor rotor, or damaged spark plugs. Electronic failure mainly refers to the malfunction of the central computer control board. 2. Fuel system failure: Often accompanied by symptoms such as weak engine power and the accelerator pedal feeling like stepping on cotton. Possible fuel system issues include: fuel pump failure, blocked fuel line, clogged fuel filter, carburetor failure, or damaged injectors. Sometimes, the fuel tank may be empty without the driver realizing it. Adding a few liters of gasoline can solve all the problems.

What Causes Brake Pulsation and Vibration?

Brake pulsation and vibration can be caused by uneven wear of the brake discs or damage to brake components. Below are the specific reasons for brake pulsation: Uneven Disc Wear: If the outer side of the brake disc is thicker than the inner side or vice versa, during braking, the brake pads clamp the disc vertically. If the disc is uneven and does not fully contact the pads, it will cause vibration. The higher the speed, the more severe the vibration, making it harder to stop the vehicle. Damaged Brake Components: If you feel the brake trembling when applying the brakes at high speeds on a highway, it indicates that the surface flatness of the brake disc or pads is compromised. Loss of brake elasticity often involves damage to multiple components.
