The tire model of the Explorer is 255/50/R20. The first number 255 indicates the tire width is 255MM, 60 represents the aspect ratio of the tire section is 60%, meaning the section height is 60% of the width. The letter R stands for radial tire, and 20 denotes the rim diameter is 20 inches. The Explorer accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.6 seconds, with a fuel consumption of 8.7L per 100 km. In addition to the model, the tire also displays the following common data: Tire cord material: Indicated by Chinese pinyin, such as M-cotton cord, R-rayon cord, N-nylon cord, G-steel cord, ZG-steel radial cord tire. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under specified conditions. Letters from A to Z represent the certified speed ratings of tires from 4.8 km/h to 300 km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160 km/h; H: 210 km/h; V: 240 km/h; W: 270 km/h; Y: 300 km/h; Rim specification: Indicates the rim specification compatible with the tire for practical use, such as "Standard rim 5.00F".

The tire model of the Explorer generally depends on the specific year and configuration. Mainstream models like the 2023 version commonly use the 255/65R18 size, but there are also other options such as 255/70R17. I often help friends check their vehicle conditions and advise not to overlook tire quality, as it directly affects braking stability and fuel efficiency. Regularly use a tire pressure gauge to ensure it stays within the 32-34 PSI range, and rotate the tires every six months to promote even wear. When replacing, prioritize matching the original factory specifications. If you frequently drive in suburban areas, opt for durable brands like Goodyear, while for city driving, choose comfort-oriented tires like Michelin to reduce noise. From a safety perspective, check the tread depth before winter; if it's below 3mm, it's time to replace the tires, which can effectively prevent skidding and enhance driving safety.

What Causes the Brake Light to Illuminate When the Brake Pedal is Pressed?

When a driver presses the brake pedal, the reasons for the brake light on the dashboard to illuminate include loss of hydraulic pressure in the brake system and thinning of the brake pads. Loss of hydraulic pressure in the brake system: If the brake fluid is insufficient, the hydraulic pressure in the brake system will decrease or even disappear. This is because the two hydraulic circuits in the brake system are typically separated in most rear-wheel-drive vehicles—one circuit applies to the front brakes and the other to the rear brakes. In front-wheel-drive cars and small trucks, the system is usually split diagonally. One circuit serves the right front and left rear brakes, while the other serves the left front and right rear brakes. If the hydraulic circuit lacks sufficient fluid, the hydraulic pressure will disappear, causing the brake system to fail, which may result in an inability to brake, and the car's brake light will illuminate when the brake is applied. Thinning of the brake pads: If the brake pads have worn down to the point where they need replacement, the brake light will illuminate when the brake pedal is pressed, reminding the owner to replace the brake pads promptly. This is because the car's brake pads are equipped with a manufacturer-set wear indicator line. When the brake pads reach their usage limit, an alert will appear. Owners should regularly inspect the tire brake pads and use a measuring tool to check the thickness of the brake pads. If significant wear is detected, the brake pads should be replaced promptly.

Can Beijing National VI Diesel Vehicles Be Licensed?

Beijing National VI diesel vehicles cannot be licensed. The following is extended content: 1. Phase V Emission Control Requirements: "Limits and Measurement Methods for Exhaust Pollutants from Compression Ignition and Gas Fuel Positive Ignition Engines and Vehicles (China III, IV, V Phases)"; "Limits and Measurement Methods for Exhaust Pollutants from Compression Ignition and Gas Fuel Positive Ignition Engines and Vehicles (Bench Test Method)"; "Limits and Measurement Methods for Exhaust Pollutants from Heavy-Duty Vehicles (On-Board Method)". 2. Enterprise Declaration Requirements: Enterprises declaring for the environmental protection catalog must continue to follow the requirements stipulated in "Notice on the Declaration Requirements for Heavy-Duty Diesel and Gas Vehicles (Engines) for the Beijing Environmental Protection Catalog" and "Notice on Relevant Regulations for Heavy-Duty Vehicle Emission Control". At the same time, enterprises must strengthen production management to ensure that sold vehicles stably meet the standards. 3. Heavy-Duty Diesel Vehicle Requirements: New heavy-duty diesel vehicles (such as buses, sanitation vehicles, tourist vehicles, postal vehicles, dump trucks, shuttle buses, school buses, airport buses, etc.) used within the administrative area of Beijing should be equipped with wall-flow particulate filters (DPF). 4. Vehicle Registration Requirements: Vehicle models that do not comply with Phase V regulations will not be processed for vehicle registration. Heavy-duty diesel vehicles meeting Phase IV emission standards purchased before August 1, 2015 (based on the date of the purchase invoice) or transferred from other provinces to Beijing before that date (based on the transfer registration date in the vehicle registration certificate) can continue to be processed for vehicle registration.

Why doesn't the BMW 1 Series make a sound when locking?

BMW 1 Series does not make a sound when locking because the locking sound feature is not enabled. The method to set the locking beep for BMW 1 Series is to activate the remote key's locking horn function by simultaneously pressing the unlock and lock buttons for 3 seconds until the lights flash. Relevant information about BMW sedans is as follows: 1. Design characteristics: BMW sedans feature distinctive body styling with round headlights paired with rectangular radiator grilles, creating a unique style. 2. Powertrain: All BMW models are rear-wheel drive. The rear-wheel drive configuration allows for a 50-50 weight distribution between front and rear, providing better performance during high-speed cornering and straight-line driving compared to front-wheel drive vehicles.

What is the working principle of a rotary engine?

Working principle of a rotary engine: The rotary engine directly converts the combustion expansion force of combustible gas into driving torque. Compared with reciprocating engines, the rotary engine eliminates useless linear motion, resulting in a smaller size, lighter weight, and lower vibration and noise for the same power output, giving it significant advantages. Conventional engines are reciprocating engines, where pistons move back and forth in a straight line within the cylinders. To convert this linear motion into rotational motion, a crankshaft-slider mechanism is required. In contrast, the rotary engine uses a triangular rotor's rotational motion to control compression and exhaust, which differs significantly from the linear motion of traditional reciprocating piston engines.

Does an Engine Boiling Over Require an Overhaul?

An engine boiling over does not require an overhaul. When an engine boils over, a large amount of white steam will emerge from the engine cover, which is very easy to notice. At this point, you only need to immediately stop the vehicle, turn off the engine, and let it cool down naturally. As long as the operation is standardized, it is rare for an overhaul to be necessary. Causes: There are many reasons for a car boiling over. Apart from hot weather, overloaded air conditioning operation and faulty cooling components can also cause the car to boil over. Conducting a comprehensive inspection of the car's cooling system is the primary method to prevent boiling over. Check whether the cooling fan is working properly, whether the radiator is leaking, and whether there is a lack of coolant. If the radiator is leaking, it needs to be repaired or replaced promptly. If the radiator is low on coolant, it should be replenished in time. If the coolant becomes turbid or deteriorated, it needs to be replaced. Solution for a Boiling Over Car: The first thing to do when noticing the engine boiling over is to immediately pull over and stop the car. Boiling over means the engine is losing its cooling capacity, and the internal temperature of the engine will rise rapidly at this time. If the cooling is not sufficient immediately or the operation is not standardized enough, it can easily affect the strength of internal components such as pistons, piston rings, and connecting rods, causing them to weaken, deform, or even be damaged. In severe cases, it may lead to the engine being directly scrapped.
