The Elantra uses Nexen tires with a tire size of 205/55R16. Nexen Tire, founded in 1942, is Korea's first automobile tire manufacturer and a global tire company dedicated to producing tires for passenger cars, SUVs, and light trucks using advanced technology and equipment. Nexen Tire operates four world-class factories, six subsidiaries, and 14 overseas branches, with a sales network spanning over 140 countries and regions. For daily use of Elantra tires, pay attention to the following points: Regularly inspect the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to driving wear, the tread grooves gradually become shallower. If the tread wears flat, it loses its drainage and anti-skid functions, significantly reducing the vehicle's performance. Small cracks may also pose a risk of tire blowouts during high-speed driving. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles lodged in the grooves. Park on level ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that may degrade rubber. After parking, avoid turning the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water to cool overheated tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires may overheat, and tire pressure may increase. In such cases, stop to allow the tires to cool naturally. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool the tires, as this may cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Minimize frequent or hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging between the tire and the road.

What to Do If You Forget to Release the Handbrake While Driving?

If you forget to release the handbrake while driving, here are the solutions: 1. If the driving distance is short and you notice it immediately, the impact on the vehicle is minimal and can be ignored; 2. If you forget to release the handbrake and drive for a long distance, the handbrake is likely to be damaged. In this case, you must promptly go to a 4S shop or a professional auto repair shop to fix the handbrake. Methods to determine if the handbrake is damaged: If the vehicle can still drive normally with the handbrake engaged, it indicates a problem with the handbrake, meaning it has failed. In addition to affecting the car's braking system, forgetting to release the handbrake can also impact the two rear tires. Engaging the handbrake causes slight braking on the rear tires, increasing the friction they experience from the road compared to the front tires during driving. This leads to increased wear on the rear tires. Similarly, it can cause the rear tires to continuously heat up, potentially leading to a fire in severe cases, especially during high-temperature weather, which is particularly dangerous.

Where are the reference points for a right-angle turn?

Reference points for a right-angle turn: The point where the right side of the vehicle is 30 centimeters away from the edge line. Below is relevant information about right-angle turns: 1. Overview: The right-angle turn is an assessment point in Subject 2 of the driver's license test, evaluating the driver's ability to correctly operate the steering and accurately judge the vehicle's inner and outer wheel differentials when driving through sharp turns. 2. Deduction points: Running over the protruding point results in failure; each time the wheels run over the road edge line, 20 points are deducted; completing the maneuver by reversing results in a 10-point deduction; failing to use or incorrectly using turn signals results in a 10-point deduction.

How Severe Does a Crash Need to Be to Damage the Radiator?

Damaging the car radiator constitutes a major accident, typically involving severe damage to the front end of the vehicle. Below is an introduction to the car radiator: 1. Main Components: The radiator is part of the car's cooling system. In an engine's water cooling system, the radiator consists of three parts: the inlet tank, outlet tank, header, and radiator core. 2. Primary Function: When the engine's water temperature is high, the water pump circulates water repeatedly to lower the engine's temperature, thereby protecting it. In winter, if the water temperature is too low, the water circulation stops to prevent the engine from becoming too cold.

Why does an automatic transmission maintain high RPM without shifting up?

This is a computer-programmed feature (overtaking mode). When the driver accelerates aggressively, the computer interprets it as the vehicle needing to overtake or requiring more power. Since higher gears provide less torque, the computer maintains the current gear or downshifts to enhance performance. Here's an introduction to automatic transmissions: 1. Classification: As the name suggests, an automatic transmission doesn't require manual gear shifting by the driver. The vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on speed and driving conditions. 2. Operation: Driving an automatic transmission vehicle primarily involves using Park (P), Reverse (R), Neutral (N), and Drive (D) gears to meet general driving needs. For specific driving conditions, other functional gears may be required.

Are There Hydrogen-Powered Vehicles in China?

Currently, there are no hydrogen-powered vehicles in China. Here is some information about hydrogen-powered vehicles: 1. Advantages: Hydrogen energy has the benefits of abundant reserves, high efficiency, no greenhouse gas emissions, ease of storage and transportation, and high safety, making it considered the ultimate solution for future energy replacement. 2. Reasons for the absence of hydrogen-powered vehicles in China: China has a vast territory, and building hydrogen refueling stations extensively, like in Japan, is extremely difficult and costly. It is foreseeable that before breakthroughs in controlled nuclear fusion technology, hydrogen production as an energy source will remain a less economical choice, and relying on hydrogen to replace fossil fuels is unrealistic.

How Often Should Brake Fluid Be Changed in an Automatic Transmission Car?

Generally, brake fluid should be replaced every 2 years or every 40,000 kilometers driven, but the specific interval should be determined by the cycle specified in the car's user manual. Below is some information about brake fluid: 1. Introduction: Brake fluid, also known as hydraulic brake fluid or braking fluid, is a type of hydraulic fluid used in hydraulic brake systems. It is made from refined diesel distillate with thickeners and antioxidants added. There are three types of brake fluid: mineral oil brake fluid, alcohol-based brake fluid, and synthetic brake fluid. 2. Precautions: Do not mix different types or brands of brake fluid. Due to differences in formulations, mixing brake fluids can lead to a decline in the performance indicators of the brake fluid.
