The normal tire pressure range for Changan Oshan X7 is 2.4-2.5bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2bar in winter and decreased by 0.1bar in summer. This data complies with the international GBT2978-2008 standard. The tire pressure monitoring for Changan Oshan X7 can be viewed on the dashboard. The vehicle is equipped with an automatic tire pressure monitoring system that alerts without manual operation. This tire pressure monitoring system uses ABS wheel speed sensors to compare the rotational speed differences between tires to determine if there is abnormal tire pressure. If an abnormality is detected, it immediately alerts. The module is integrated into the ABS pump. Generally, a tire pressure exceeding 2.8bar is considered too high, and a tire pressure below 2.0bar is considered too low. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread of the tire, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overextends the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; causes heavy steering and deviation, posing safety risks; increases movement in various parts of the tire, leading to excessive rolling and abnormal heat generation; reduces the functionality of cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the bead area and causing abnormal wear; multiplies friction between the tire and the ground, sharply raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength. High-speed driving may lead to tire blowouts. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no stamp on top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure. Usually, it alerts when the pressure is below 1.8bar or above 3.0bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are needed. Tire pressure monitoring not reset. After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the system still records the previous data, causing the indicator light to come on. Simply reset the tire pressure to resolve this. Damaged tire pressure sensor. The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is directly installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged during driving, it can also trigger the tire pressure warning light. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new one.

The recommended standard tire pressure for the Changan Oshan X7 is generally between 230-250 kPa when the tires are cold, which is approximately 33-36 PSI. Having driven this car, I found that maintaining tire pressure within this range is optimal because if it's too high, the center of the tire wears out faster and the ride feels stiffer; if it's too low, it leads to increased fuel consumption, reduced braking stability, and even a higher risk of tire blowouts. I usually check the tire pressure once a month using a simple pressure gauge in the morning when the tires are cold for more accurate readings. Don't forget the impact of seasonal changes—tire pressure naturally drops by about 0.2-0.3 bar in cold winter weather, so timely inflation is necessary. For safety, always refer to the official values on the door label or the owner's manual, and avoid adjusting based on guesswork.

Regarding the tire pressure of the Changan Oshan X7, I always emphasize that it must be set according to the standard. The optimal cold tire pressure is around 230 kPa, equivalent to 33.5 PSI. This setting helps extend tire lifespan, improves grip, and ensures safety during high-speed driving. If the tire pressure drops below 220 kPa, the tire edges will wear faster, and the car may skid during high-speed cornering. On the other hand, if the pressure exceeds 250 kPa, the ride becomes bumpy and comfort is significantly reduced. I recommend keeping a tire pressure monitor or using a mobile app to check regularly and avoid potential risks. Remember, the requirements differ between empty and fully loaded conditions—increase the pressure by about 0.2 bar when carrying heavy loads.

The recommended tire pressure for the Changan Oshan X7 is 230 kPa, which is approximately 34 PSI. I've noticed that improper tire pressure while driving this car for daily commutes can increase fuel consumption and accelerate tire wear. The most accurate time to check is when the tires are cold, preferably in the morning after parking, not after driving when they're warm. Low tire pressure can also affect steering precision, while high tire pressure makes the ride feel stiffer. Simply purchase a tire pressure gauge, and it only takes a few minutes to check it yourself.

What does ECON mean on Honda cars?

ECON on Honda cars is the abbreviation for the low-carbon eco-driving mode, and this button can turn the energy-saving mode on or off. Modern cars generally offer three driving modes to choose from: Eco mode, Comfort mode, and Sport mode. Below is information about these three modes: Eco mode: When the car is in this mode, fuel consumption is relatively low. The throttle pedal sensitivity decreases, and the transmission shifts up more aggressively. Comfort mode: This mode can be considered a normal operating mode for the car. In this mode, the throttle pedal response is more sensitive than in Eco mode. Sport mode: Sport mode can be used during aggressive driving. When Sport mode is activated, the throttle pedal response becomes very sensitive, and the transmission delays shifting. The transmission will only upshift once the engine speed reaches the redline. After switching to Sport mode, the engine speed will remain around 3,000 RPM, ensuring better power response during acceleration. When the car enters ECON mode, it achieves reduced fuel consumption and energy savings, but the vehicle's power output weakens. ECON can be understood as the abbreviation for 'economy.' In most cases, it is recommended to keep ECON mode on. Only when high torque output is required (e.g., climbing hills) or when driving at very high speeds should ECON mode be turned off. After pressing the ECON button, the car enters the low-carbon eco-driving mode. Subsequently, the ECU, engine, and transmission intelligently execute the driver's intentions in the most fuel-efficient manner, achieving optimal fuel economy through rapid upshifts and smooth acceleration. When the driver presses the throttle pedal deeply, the ECON system effectively controls the opening and closing of the intake valves to ensure smooth engine operation and energy savings. Although ECON mode is simple and effective, it does not work under certain conditions: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h, priority is given to speed, and the Eco mode automatically deactivates. This means that if the speed exceeds the economical range (typically between 60-90 km/h), ECON mode will not save fuel. The key to ECON mode is the use of computer-controlled independent operation while driving to make it effective. Therefore, ECON does not work during idle parking or when in N, P, or manual mode.

Why is there abnormal noise when braking at low speed?

Abnormal noise during low-speed braking can occur due to the following reasons: 1. Excessive wear of brake discs and brake pads. Both components are high-wear items that experience friction with each braking action. Over time, natural wear occurs, and when excessive, abnormal noises may arise. Therefore, regular inspection and replacement are necessary. 2. Improper installation of brake pads. If brake pads are installed incorrectly or the model does not match, abnormal noises may occur. Reinstalling the brake pads is required. When installing brake pads, it is advisable to visit a professional auto repair shop, especially for owners who have had their brake pads replaced at non-standard shops. 3. Generally, faults in components like calipers, brake discs, or brake pads can cause such noises. If the noise is continuous, first check for dragging brakes. Poor caliper resetting can lead to prolonged friction between the disc and pad, producing abnormal noises under certain conditions. Additionally, foreign objects on the brake pads or discs may also cause abnormal noises.

Can Automatic Transmission Cars Coast in Neutral Gear?

Automatic transmission cars should not coast in neutral gear. Detailed explanations are as follows: 1. Automatic transmission models cannot directly shift into N (Neutral) gear while driving in D (Drive) gear. The vehicle must come to a complete stop before shifting into N gear, making coasting in neutral gear impractical for automatic transmission vehicles. 2. The purpose of the neutral N setting in automatic transmissions is to meet parking needs in special circumstances or for towing purposes. When towing is required, the gear must be shifted into N because other gear positions are more likely to damage the transmission. The hazards of coasting in neutral gear include: 1. Loss of vehicle control, engine stalling, reduced braking effectiveness, increased braking distance, 2. Weakened power steering assistance, accelerated transmission wear, increased engine carbon buildup, 3. Increased fuel consumption, inability to obtain power immediately after descending a slope.

Correct Steps for Using Electronic Handbrake in Manual Transmission Cars

Correct steps for using the electronic handbrake in a manual transmission car: First, press the brake pedal, and when the vehicle is stationary, pull up the electronic handbrake button. More information about the electronic handbrake is as follows: 1. The electronic handbrake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both achieving parking control through the friction generated between the brake disc and the brake pads, except that the control method has changed from the previous mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. 2. The electronic handbrake, also known as the electronic parking brake system (Electrical-Park-Brake, EPB), integrates the temporary braking function during driving with the long-term braking function after parking.

Can Honda's Eco Mode Be Kept On for a Long Time?

You can frequently use the Eco mode in your car. Eco mode, also known as Economy Mode, is particularly effective in saving fuel when driving in congested urban traffic conditions. When the Eco mode is activated, the fuel-saving effect is noticeable. Under Eco mode operation, the carbon deposits in the engine are roughly the same as those produced under normal operating conditions, so the Eco mode can be kept on continuously. The main principle of Eco mode is not complicated. It involves a comprehensive judgment and analysis of factors affecting fuel consumption during vehicle movement, such as automatic transmission gear position, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking, and transmission oil temperature. The ECU control unit calculates the appropriate amount of fuel to supply the engine, effectively reducing fuel consumption compared to normal driving modes. Simply put, it controls the engine speed with reasonable gear selection to minimize unnecessary fuel consumption. ECO is an abbreviation, with its Chinese translation being Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving), and Optimization (power). Eco mode is further divided into active Eco driving mode and passive Eco driving mode. When the Eco indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it indicates that the vehicle's economy mode is activated. Eco mode is categorized into active and passive types. The difference lies in the fact that the active type has a dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to activate it. When the driver presses the Eco mode switch, the dashboard indicator light immediately turns on, and the vehicle automatically begins adjusting settings, such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output power. The passive Eco mode does not have a dedicated button. When the Eco indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it serves merely as a reminder function. The Eco system automatically evaluates your driving behavior. If your current driving operation achieves the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will simultaneously display the Eco indicator light. Most cars use the active Eco driving mode, meaning they have a dedicated switch button. Therefore, during daily driving, we can activate the Eco mode. However, it is unnecessary to enable Eco mode when driving at speeds exceeding 120 km/h, during idle parking, in N/P gear, or in manual mode—especially when climbing hills. Doing so would not only fail to demonstrate the fuel-saving characteristics of Eco mode but also affect the vehicle's power. Additionally, Eco mode typically becomes ineffective under the following circumstances: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometers per hour, the car prioritizes speed, causing the Eco mode to automatically deactivate. During idle parking or when in N/P gear or manual mode, the Eco mode may also become ineffective. When high torque output is required, such as when climbing hills, the engine's computer prioritizes ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the Eco mode will not function in such scenarios.
