Tire structure is detailed into the following aspects: 1. Tread: The contact surface between the tire and the road, featuring excellent wear resistance, high-temperature heat dissipation, good resistance to road and tire pressure, and puncture resistance. 2. Carcass: The cord ply in the tire, also the main stress layer between the tire and the ground, with good flex resistance. 3. Belt layer: The steel cord ply between the tread and the carcass, protecting the carcass, restraining tread deformation, maintaining the tread's contact surface, and improving wear resistance and tire stability. 4. Cap ply: A special cord layer on the belt layer, restraining the movement of the belt layer during tire operation, preventing the belt layer from separating from the tire, and maintaining tire stability at high speeds. 5. Bead: Made of rubber-coated steel wires wound in a specific shape, its role is to mount the tire onto the rim and secure the tire. 6. Apex strip: Filling material on the steel wire ring in the tire, preventing the bead from dispersing too much, cushioning bead impact, protecting the bead, and preventing air ingress. 7. Inner liner: A component of tubeless tires that maintains airtightness, made of special rubber, serving the function of an inner tube.

What is the national emission standard for Automotive IV?

Automotive IV refers to China's National Phase IV Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standard, abbreviated as "National IV Emission Standard" or simply "Guo IV Standard". The main pollutants emitted by vehicles include hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. Through the application of technologies such as improved catalytic converter active layers, secondary air injection, and exhaust gas recirculation systems with cooling devices, these standards aim to control and reduce vehicle emissions below specified limits. Compared to the National Phase III standard, the National IV standard requires approximately a 50% reduction in pollutant emissions for light-duty vehicles, a 30% reduction for heavy-duty vehicles, and an over 80% reduction in particulate matter emissions.

Where is the coolant reservoir located in a Volkswagen Polo?

The coolant reservoir in a Volkswagen Polo is situated in the engine compartment near the right front headlight. To refill it, simply unscrew the cap and add coolant. Regularly check that the fluid level is between the MAX and MIN marks. If you notice the coolant level is significantly low or depleting rapidly, it may indicate a leak in the cooling system, requiring professional inspection at a repair shop. Always add coolant when the engine is cold to prevent potential engine damage. The Volkswagen Polo, often referred to as the 'German marvel' by Volkswagen, has body dimensions of 3970mm in length, 1682mm in width, and 1462mm in height.

What is the normal position for coolant?

Coolant is at a normal level when it is between the MAX and MIN marks, which can be checked at the coolant reservoir filler neck. If the coolant is low and you need to add more, ensure it is filled to the middle between the MAX and MIN marks. Do not mix coolant with tap water, as water has a lower freezing point and contains impurities that can form scale, leading to blockages and reduced cooling system efficiency. The full name of coolant is antifreeze coolant, a specialized cooling fluid containing additives. Most coolants are primarily composed of ethylene glycol, which has a high boiling point and low freezing point, ensuring the vehicle operates normally in cold climates without freezing and helps cool the engine during high temperatures. It is an essential automotive product.
