Michelin tires have a validity period of 3 to 5 years. The functions of tires are: 1. Supporting the entire weight of the vehicle, bearing the load of the car, and transmitting forces and moments in other directions; 2. Working together with the car suspension to mitigate impacts during driving and dampen resulting vibrations; 3. Protecting car components from severe vibrations and premature damage, adapting to the high-speed performance of the vehicle and reducing driving noise; 4. Transmitting traction and braking torque, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface to improve the car's power, braking, and passability. The method to check the tire production date is: The specific production date of the tire is indicated in text on the tire sidewall, with the first two digits representing the week of production and the last two digits representing the year.

What Causes the Hazard Lights to Flash Intermittently After Locking the Car?

If the hazard lights flash once or twice after locking the car, it indicates that the doors are locked. However, if they flash intermittently continuously, it suggests a malfunction in the control box. Below are relevant details about hazard lights: Precautions for Using Hazard Lights: Car hazard lights refer to both turn signals flashing simultaneously. There is a red triangular button on the vehicle's dashboard—pressing it activates the hazard lights. Additional Information on Hazard Lights: Hazard lights should be turned on when the vehicle breaks down or is involved in an accident on the road to alert passing vehicles for safety. On highways, failure to use hazard lights and set up warning signs after a breakdown or accident will result in a 12-point penalty.

What are the differences between Carlife and Carplay?

Introduction to the differences between Carlife and Carplay: Different in nature: CarPlay is an in-car system released by Apple Inc. in the US, which seamlessly integrates users' iOS devices and iOS experience with the dashboard system. CarLife is an Internet of Vehicles solution launched by Baidu at the "Connected Cars, Smart and Measured" strategy conference on January 27, 2015. Different in launching entities: CarPlay is launched by Apple Inc. CarLife is launched by Baidu. Different in features: CarPlay only supports iPhone models with a Lightning interface. Although iPads also support this interface, Apple has not listed iPads as hardware devices supported by CarPlay. CarLife is an Internet of Vehicles solution launched by Baidu on January 27, 2015. CarLife will use this to expand into the Internet of Vehicles field, with multiple automakers such as Audi, Hyundai, and Shanghai General Motors signing strategic cooperation agreements with Baidu in the Internet of Vehicles sector.

What are the three major warning signs of brake failure?

Signs of brake failure include brake pedal vibration and brakes not returning to position. The details are as follows: Brake pedal vibration: If you feel the brake pedal vibrating when braking at high speeds on the highway, it may indicate uneven surface wear on the brake discs. Brakes not returning to position: Loss of elasticity in the brakes often involves damage to multiple components. Brake misalignment: If the brakes shift when applied, it indicates uneven force distribution between the left and right brake calipers, requiring immediate repair. Reduced braking effectiveness: This condition, known as "soft brakes," occurs when braking force diminishes due to insufficient hydraulic pressure in the wheel cylinders or master cylinder, often accompanied by oil leakage.

Why is the driving range increasing?

The possible reasons for the increase in driving range are reduced fuel consumption or a malfunctioning fuel tank sensor. The specific reasons are as follows: Actual fuel consumption reduction: The driving range displayed on the dashboard is calculated by the vehicle's computer based on the amount of fuel remaining. If the vehicle's fuel consumption decreases on certain road sections, it can lead to an increase in the driving range. Fuel tank sensor malfunction: The driving range is determined by the amount of fuel remaining, and the fuel gauge is based on the fuel level sensor. Therefore, the conclusion is that the driving range depends on the fuel level sensor. The fuel level sensor is installed inside the fuel tank and detects the amount of fuel based on the fuel level. The fuel level sensor is commonly referred to as the fuel float. If the fuel float malfunctions, it may cause the driving range to increase.

How Many Winters Can Winter Tires Be Used?

Winter tires can be used for 3-4 winters. The service life of winter tires is 3-4 years, or 50,000-60,000 kilometers. Winter tires have good drainage: In terms of appearance, unlike regular or unidirectional tires, winter tires have asymmetric directional tread patterns. Winter tires have more grooves, meaning the proportion of grooves on the tire surface is higher, which improves drainage. Winter tires have at least 1,000 fine grooves, while regular tires have about 200. Winter tires improve safety: Winter tires are softer in material compared to regular tires, mainly because the tread uses some special formulations, such as a silica-mixed rubber compound that can adhere more closely to smooth ice surfaces, generating greater friction than all-season tires. This significantly enhances the vehicle's handling and safety on slippery ice surfaces.

Is 93 gasoline the same as the current 92 gasoline?

92 gasoline is the same as the previous 93 gasoline; they are the same type of fuel. Gasoline classification: Currently, in the domestic market, gasoline is labeled with numbers such as 90, 93, 95, and 97. These numbers represent the octane rating of the gasoline, which indicates its anti-knock performance and has nothing to do with the cleanliness of the fuel. How to choose gasoline: It is more scientific and economical to refuel according to the engine's compression ratio or the requirements specified in the car's manual, as this maximizes the engine's efficiency. The main basis for selecting the gasoline grade is the engine's compression ratio. Blindly using higher-grade gasoline not only results in sluggish acceleration but also fails to utilize its high anti-knock performance advantage, leading to unnecessary financial waste.
