400 represents the tire section width of 400mm, and the following 12 indicates the rim diameter of 12 inches. Tire size specification example (taking 195/55R15 as an example): The international standard tire code represents the section height and aspect ratio percentage in millimeters, followed by the tire type code, rim diameter (inches), load index (allowable load mass code), and allowable vehicle speed code. For example, 175/70R1477H, 175 represents the tire width of 175MM, 70 indicates the tire section aspect ratio is 70%, meaning the section height is 70% of the width, the rim diameter is 14 inches, the load index is 77, and the allowable vehicle speed is grade H. Notes for replacing car tires: When selecting tires, the specifications of the tires should be the same as the previous ones and must match the other tire on the same axle, such as speed rating, load index, tread pattern, brand, size, etc., to ensure safe driving. The valve stem should also be replaced because after changing the tire, the aging cycle of the new tire and the valve stem may differ. During the new tire's cycle, the valve stem might develop issues, which are not easily noticeable, so it's best to replace the valve stem when changing the tire. Installation direction and inflation: If using the original equipment tire, follow the manufacturer's installation requirements. For non-original tires, the side with the production date usually faces outward. If it's a directional tire, align the arrow on the wheel with the car's forward direction during installation. During inflation, you can fill the tire to the maximum allowable pressure and then reduce it to the manufacturer's specified standard pressure.

Why is the handbrake light on the dashboard not working?

The dashboard handbrake light not working can be caused by issues with the brake switch, brake light circuit, brake light bulb, or circuit fuse. It is necessary to promptly replace the bulb, brake light switch, fuse, etc. Solutions for dashboard handbrake light not working: Check the brake light bulb. The brake light is the most frequently used light on a car, and the bulb has a relatively short lifespan. When the brake light is not working, the first thing to consider is the brake light bulb. Simply replace the bulb. Check the brake light switch. If the brake light switch is faulty, none of the brake lights will work. During inspection, you can connect the brake light switch with a wire. If the brake lights come on, it indicates the switch is damaged, and replacing the switch will solve the problem. Check the fuse. If both the bulb and switch are confirmed to be functioning properly, then check the fuse. Some cars do not have a separate brake light fuse but share one with other electrical devices. In this case, check the operation of other electrical devices in the car. Identify any non-working devices and replace the corresponding fuse. About car brake warnings: Brakes are crucial for safe driving and should never be taken lightly. In some emergency situations, a few meters of braking distance can ensure the safety of everyone in the car. Therefore, promptly replace or repair any issues that arise.

Does Under-Invoicing Affect the Car?

Under-invoicing does affect the car. Below are the reasons why under-invoicing impacts the vehicle and the potential rights and benefits that may be compromised: Reasons for the impact: Under-invoicing during car purchase is essentially an act of tax evasion. The purchase amount on the invoice does not match the actual payment (the invoice reflects the purchase amount). If vehicle issues arise, the car seller has the right to compensate based on the invoice amount. Reduction in coverage amount: Under-invoicing leads to a decrease in the overall coverage amount when purchasing car damage insurance. In the event of a major accident resulting in a total loss, the insurance company will use the invoice amount as the compensation standard. Similarly, if the owner purchases theft insurance, the invoice amount will also serve as the basis for calculation.

How many points are deducted for crossing the line during parallel parking?

Crossing the line during parallel parking results in an immediate deduction of 100 points. Below is relevant information about parallel parking: Concept: Parallel parking is a component of the second subject in the driver's license test. Parallel parking is becoming increasingly common in urban areas, especially as parking spaces in formal parking lots become more scarce. Many places have designated the sides of streets as parking spots, creating "parallel parking spaces." Precautions: There are two key points to note during parallel parking: First, adjust the left and right rearview mirrors. The left mirror should be positioned as low as possible to see the left rear wheel, while the right mirror should provide a view of the car body. Second, adjust the interior rearview mirror so that when you look up, you can see the middle of the rear windshield.

Will Auto Repair Shops Replace Your Car Parts Without Permission?

Generally speaking, auto repair shops do not replace car parts without the owner's knowledge. Here's an introduction to car repair-related information: Private auto repair shops: The main reason is that most repair shops value their reputation to attract business. If they were caught replacing parts without authorization, they could face severe consequences, including potential closure, making it not worth the risk. Therefore, repair shops usually avoid taking such chances. Important parts remain untouched: Critical components like the engine and transmission, which have complex structures, must adhere to strict assembly parameters. Some brand-specific parts even require assembly in an absolutely dust-free, cold environment. As such, car owners are generally advised not to consent to the disassembly of these crucial components without good reason.

Should You Turn Off the Internal Circulation When Parking and Turning Off the Engine?

No need to turn it off. After the car is turned off, the entire air conditioning system will not be powered, so leaving it on will not waste electricity. Here is some extended information about internal and external circulation: Principle of External Circulation: The external circulation mode uses a fan to draw air from outside the car into the interior, meaning the air passages between the outside and inside of the car are open. The air blown by the fan comes from outside the car. Even if the fan is not turned on, airflow is still drawn into the car while driving, replenishing fresh air inside the car. Principle of Internal Circulation: The internal circulation mode closes the airflow passages between the inside and outside of the car. Without the fan, there is no airflow circulation. When the fan is turned on, the airflow drawn in comes only from inside the car, creating an internal airflow circulation within the vehicle.

What is the difference between 91W and 91V?

Here are the specific differences between car tires 91V and 91W: 1. Speed rating: V indicates that the maximum speed this tire can withstand is 240 km/h, while W indicates that the maximum speed this tire can withstand is 270 km/h. 2. Load index: A 91W tire refers to a tire that can bear a load of 615 kg and withstand a maximum speed of 270 km/h. Below is extended information about car tire specifications: 1. Specification model representation: Tires are important components of a car, and there are many specification models of tires, with different models suitable for different types of vehicles. The specification model identification is usually on the sidewall of the tire, represented by a series of alphanumeric characters, corresponding to the tire's tread width, aspect ratio, type, rim size, load index, and speed rating. 2. Speed rating: Depending on the maximum speed they can withstand, tires can be divided into different speed ratings from A to Z, with the A rating further subdivided into eight different levels from A1 to A8. The further back the letter representing the tire's speed rating is in the alphabet, the better the tire's performance.
