The Trumpchi GS3 has multiple models, and different models use different tires. Taking the 2019 Trumpchi GS3 as an example, it uses three types of tires: one is 215/65R16, another is 215/65R17, and the last is 215/55R18. The functions of the tires are as follows: 1. Support the entire weight of the vehicle and bear the load of the car. 2. Transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring the adhesion between the wheels and the road surface. 3. Reduce and absorb vibrations and impact forces during driving, preventing severe vibrations and early damage to automotive components.

For friends driving the Trumpchi GS3, sticking to the original tire specifications is the most reliable choice. My GS3 Premium Edition came with 215/55 R17 all-season tires, and the Michelin Primacy series has proven to be quite durable. After several years of driving, they perform steadily on highways with good wet traction and minimal noise. They're suitable for daily city commutes or short road trips, and regular checks on tire pressure and wear can extend their lifespan. Switching to different sizes might affect handling and safety, so it's advisable to stick with the original setup and opt for reputable brands like Pirelli or Goodyear for better cost performance.

Car enthusiasts prioritize performance when choosing tires. The GS3 SUV comes standard with 215/55 R17 tires. I prefer using the Pirelli Scorpion series for its strong performance on both dry and wet roads, with quick response during acceleration and cornering, though they are slightly more expensive and noisier. For those looking to save money, domestic brands like Giti are a good option, offering slightly less handling performance but being more economical. Don't overlook wheel balancing during routine maintenance; getting a dynamic balance after changing tires makes for a smoother drive. Always pay attention to tire wear signs while driving and replace them in advance—safety comes first.

For friends who own a Trumpchi GS3 at home, tire safety is no trivial matter. My GS3 came with factory specifications of 205/60 R16, and using Goodyear Assurance all-season tires is the most stable option, offering high comfort and reducing bumps for kids in the car. Frequently driving in the city, maintaining tire pressure at 230kPa helps prevent blowout risks. When choosing tires, don’t go for cheap options—low-quality brands are prone to skidding in rainy conditions. It’s recommended to stick with original size Michelin or Dunlop tires. Replace them on time every 50,000 kilometers to ensure safe travels for the whole family.

What does it mean when the ABS yellow light on the dashboard is on?

When the ABS light is displayed on the car, it indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's anti-lock braking system. During emergency braking, if the wheels lock up, the vehicle may lose control and skid, making it difficult for the driver to slow down or adjust the vehicle's trajectory, which poses a significant safety hazard. There are several states in which the ABS light may illuminate, with different causes and solutions for each state, as detailed below: State 1: ABS warning light stays on (most common). Cause 1: The ABS speed sensor's sensing part is covered by dirt, mud, or other contaminants, affecting the sensor's ability to detect the corresponding speed signal. This prevents the ABS computer from determining the vehicle's speed or the wheel's slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to adjust braking. Solution: Clean the dirt from the speed sensor and adjust the gap between the speed sensor and the signal ring to restore normal function. Cause 2: Poor signal due to loose connections in the system wiring or poor contact in the ABS relay, leading to system failure. Solution: Check the wiring connections and reconnect any loose parts. State 2: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates but turns off when accelerating. Cause: When multiple vehicle electrical devices are in use, the battery voltage drops below 10.5V. As the engine speed increases and the voltage rises, the ABS light turns off. The ABS system's power supply voltage is too low, possibly due to poor terminal contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check the battery's specific gravity, inspect the charging system, and verify the power supply (e.g., voltage relay or poor power contact). State 3: ABS warning light stays on after engine start and only turns off when the engine is turned off (IGFF). Cause: Poor grounding contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body; loose wiring connections in the ABS hydraulic valve body; ABS computer malfunction. Solution: Loosen and then retighten the grounding screw of the hydraulic valve body, cleaning the contact surface if necessary. Check if the connector gap has widened; replace the ABS or ABS/ASR computer if needed. State 4: ABS warning light illuminates during high-speed driving. Cause: During high-speed driving, the ABS computer detects a significant discrepancy between the rear and front wheel speed signals. Incorrect tire or wheel rim specifications may also be the cause. Solution: Refer to the vehicle's tire and wheel rim specifications, as indicated on the label near the fuel tank cap. State 5: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates. Cause: Improper adjustment of the brake light switch; poor internal contact in the brake light. Solution: Start the engine, press the brake pedal, and push the brake switch linkage down with a finger to its limit. Then release the brake pedal to complete the self-setting position. Replace the brake light switch if necessary.

How to Remove Adhesive After Peeling Off Car Window Film?

Methods for removing adhesive after peeling off car window film: You can use essential balm, makeup remover, cleaning agents, etc., to eliminate residual adhesive. When peeling off the window film, you can first use a hair dryer to blow on the film. The film will deform due to heat, reducing its adhesion, making it easier to peel off slowly. You can also spray some adhesive remover between the glass and the film. After peeling it off, simply wipe with a towel. Window film is a PET functional film applied to the glass surface, serving purposes such as heat insulation, thermal insulation, UV blocking, anti-glare, decoration, privacy protection, and safety explosion-proofing. In summer, window film can block 45% to 85% of direct solar heat from entering the interior, while in winter, it can reduce heat loss by more than 30%.

What are the symptoms of a bad clutch plate?

Symptoms of a bad clutch plate: 1. The clutch engagement point becomes higher. When starting the vehicle, you need to release the clutch pedal higher than before (e.g., from originally 1 cm to now 2 cm) before the vehicle moves; 2. Noticeable decrease in vehicle power. With no engine abnormalities, the car feels sluggish during starts or climbing hills, and there's insufficient power despite high engine RPMs, indicating clutch slippage; 3. Metallic grinding noises when depressing or releasing the clutch pedal, which likely indicates severely worn clutch plates; 4. Uneven engagement when releasing the clutch during starts, causing jerky forward/backward movements, along with a rough or sticky feel when operating the clutch pedal, requiring clutch plate replacement.

Is the Transmission the Same as the Gearbox?

Transmission is indeed the same as the gearbox, also referred to as the gear case. Inside the transmission, gears of different sizes mesh together to increase or decrease rotational speed or torque, thereby enabling the vehicle to change gears. The meshing of gears resembles the interlocking of human teeth, hence the term "gearbox." Transmissions are categorized into manual and automatic transmissions. Manual transmissions include 5-speed manual and 6-speed manual, while automatic transmissions comprise 6-speed automatic, 7-speed dual-clutch, 8-speed semi-automatic, and CVT (continuously variable transmission). The transmission consists of a gear shifting mechanism and a control mechanism, with some vehicles also featuring a power take-off unit. Transmissions can be further classified into stepped, stepless, and integrated types, serving functions such as enabling reverse driving, interrupting power transmission, and altering gear ratios.
