When encountering crosswinds, the driver should firmly hold the steering wheel with both hands, make slight corrections towards the side from which the wind is coming, and apply gentle force without sudden steering movements. Simultaneously, reduce the vehicle speed to prevent loss of control caused by high-speed driving. Here are some braking techniques: 1. Emergency Braking: Some vehicles are not equipped with ABS, so it is not advisable to apply full braking force at once. Instead, brake in two separate stages to prevent wheel lock-up, which could lead to skidding and steering lock. 2. Braking in Rainy Conditions: When driving on wet roads, avoid sudden braking or sharp steering. After passing through waterlogged areas, it is best to gently apply the brakes twice to utilize inertia and friction to expel water from the brake discs, preventing brake failure during sudden stops.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Accelerating the Engine?

Engine buzzing noise may be caused by engine failure or exhaust pipe leakage. Here are the specific details: 1. One situation that can cause engine buzzing is when the car is in the wrong gear while driving. A mismatch between the car's speed and gear can lead to engine buzzing, but this is not an engine fault. The noise will disappear when the car's speed matches the gear. 2. During driving, the engine's load increases, requiring the throttle opening to be increased and more fuel to be supplied. If the throttle is dirty or not opened to the optimal position, it can result in poor mixture ratio inside the engine, causing a buzzing noise during acceleration.

How to Identify Ceramic Brake Pads?

Methods to identify ceramic brake pads are as follows: 1. Differentiate by color: Some are called "bone gray," resembling the surface of pebbles but without a shiny appearance. A shiny surface might indicate high-metal brake pads or those containing a small amount of ceramic. 2. Rub with fingers: Running fingers over the surface of ceramic brake pads won't leave any black or other colors on the hand (dust is an exception), whereas metal brake pads will leave black metallic residue. 3. Wet with water: Ceramic brake pads won't rust when exposed to water. Metal brake pads, whether original or aftermarket, are sealed before opening but will rust within a day or two after unpackaging. 4. After use: Ceramic brake pads leave white powder after friction with the brake disc and won't damage it, while metal brake pads leave black powder.

Purpose of Fuel Filters?

Fuel filters primarily serve two purposes: 1. To remove solid impurities such as iron oxide and dust contained in the fuel, preventing clogging of the fuel system. 2. To reduce mechanical wear, ensure stable engine operation, and improve reliability. The fuel filter is installed in series on the pipeline between the fuel pump and the throttle body inlet. Its structure consists of an aluminum housing with a stainless steel bracket inside, on which high-efficiency filter paper is arranged in a chrysanthemum pattern to increase flow area. Fuel injection filters cannot be used interchangeably with carburetor filters. Since fuel injection filters frequently withstand fuel pressures of 200-300 KPA, their pressure resistance generally needs to exceed 500 KPA, whereas carburetor filters do not require such high pressure tolerance.

What does bar mean in cars?

In cars, bar is a unit of pressure measurement, specifically megapascal, which refers to atmospheric pressure, commonly abbreviated as air pressure. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the appropriate tire pressure for cars is as follows: 1. Standard tires should have a pressure of 2.4-2.5 bar. 2. Reinforced tires should have a pressure of 2.8-2.9 bar. 3. The maximum tire pressure should not exceed 3.5 bar. Insufficient air pressure can increase tire deformation, leading to cracks on the tire sidewalls and causing flexing movements, which generate excessive heat, accelerate rubber aging, fatigue the cord layers, and break the cords. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, speeding up shoulder wear. Excessive air pressure, on the other hand, overstretches the tire cords, reducing the tire's elasticity and increasing the load on the car while driving. In case of impact, it may cause internal cracks or even blowouts. Additionally, high pressure accelerates tread wear and reduces puncture resistance.

What Are the Consequences of Engine Overheating?

Engine overheating can have significant impacts on the engine. The following are the consequences of engine overheating: 1. When the engine cooling system temperature becomes too high, the cooling system pipes may burst, or the heater core may rupture, causing water damage to electrical components in the cabin. 2. It can damage the engine cylinder head gasket. Once the cylinder head gasket is damaged, coolant may enter the combustion chamber and participate in combustion, potentially bending the connecting rod. 3. Excessive engine temperature can cause the engine oil to become too thin, failing to effectively lubricate internal engine components. This leads to increased wear on engine bearings, crankshaft scoring, and piston sticking to the cylinder walls.
