Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is a wireless intelligent sensing monitoring system that can automatically monitor various conditions of tires in real time by recording tire rotation speed or through electronic sensors installed in the tires, providing effective safety protection for driving. TPMS can be divided into two types: indirect TPMS and direct TPMS. Indirect TPMS determines whether a tire is abnormal by detecting differences in tire rotation speed. Direct TPMS, on the other hand, involves installing four tire pressure monitoring sensors inside the tires to automatically monitor tire pressure and temperature in real time, whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion, and promptly alerts the driver to high pressure, low pressure, or high temperature in the tires, thereby preventing traffic accidents caused by tire failures and ensuring driving safety.

Can a vehicle be inspected during annual inspection if there are traffic violations?

Annual inspection cannot be conducted if there are traffic violations. More information about vehicle annual inspection is as follows: 1. Traffic violations can be cleared before the inspection. During the inspection, you need to bring materials such as the vehicle's driving license, the owner's ID card, and a valid compulsory traffic insurance policy. 2. According to Article 49 of the "Regulations on the Registration of Motor Vehicles", the owner of a motor vehicle can apply for an inspection compliance mark from the vehicle management office at the registration place within three months before the expiration of the motor vehicle inspection validity period. 3. Before applying, the owner of the motor vehicle must handle all road traffic safety violations and accidents related to the vehicle. When applying, the owner of the motor vehicle must fill out an application form and submit the driving license and the compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate of the motor vehicle.

What is the normal temperature for car coolant?

Car engine coolant temperature is most suitable at 90 degrees Celsius. Additional information about car engine coolant temperature is as follows: 1. The temperature gauge range is 0-130°C, with the normal temperature being the central 90°C mark. After starting the vehicle, the coolant temperature rises rapidly. Once the needle reaches the central position, the temperature stabilizes. Generally, it's best to start driving when the temperature reaches the midpoint. 2. Engine temperature is typically measured by the coolant temperature sensor, so normal engine temperature is often associated with coolant temperature. The optimal engine coolant temperature is usually 90°C, but this varies under different operating conditions. In cold conditions, it may be around 85°C, while in hot conditions it can exceed 100°C. However, 90°C is commonly regarded as the normal coolant temperature, though in actual driving conditions it may fluctuate around this value.

How to Open the Hood of the Mistra?

To open the hood of the Mistra: Locate the release handle under the dashboard near the driver's left calf, facing the front of the car. Pull it to pop the hood open by about 1cm.

Is Waxing Necessary After Crystal Coating?

Crystal coating eliminates the need for waxing, as waxing is primarily for waterproofing, and crystal coating inherently provides hydrophobic properties. Waxing can be considered only after the crystal coating loses its effectiveness. Functions of crystal coating: Enhances the glossiness of the car paint, offering protection by forming a glass-like layer on the exterior. This layer increases the hardness of the paint, prevents oxidation, and guards against corrosion from acid rain, among other contaminants. Additionally, the glass-like film makes the paint surface smoother, making it harder for dust to adhere, thereby reducing the frequency of car washes. Methods to determine if crystal coating has failed: 1. Hydrophobicity test: If the coating is still effective, water droplets will bead up on the surface like dewdrops on a lotus leaf. If ineffective, water will spread and stick in patches. 2. Paint gloss: Crystal coating enhances brightness and vibrancy, making the car shine more than after a wash. If the opposite is observed and the car surface attracts dust easily, it's likely that the crystal coating has worn off.
