After purchasing a new car, you need to pay purchase tax, vehicle and vessel tax, and insurance, as well as apply for license plates. It is recommended that new car owners purchase more comprehensive insurance for better driving safety. In addition to getting the car inspected promptly, there are many other tasks to complete, such as eliminating odors inside the car using charcoal bags or air purifiers, installing a dashcam to protect your rights, and using a steering wheel lock for theft prevention. Below are the relevant details: 1. New cars often have strong odors, so the first step after purchase is to eliminate these smells. These odors contain a significant amount of formaldehyde, making it very important to place several charcoal bags inside the car to absorb the formaldehyde. 2. Install a dashcam. A dashcam can record most of what happens in front of the car, which is very useful for dealing with emergencies or fraud attempts like staged accidents. 3. Take theft prevention measures, such as purchasing a steering wheel lock. There are various types of steering wheel locks, including double-club locks, T-shaped locks, and telescopic locks.

Can the Engine Still Run with One Cylinder Misfiring?

Engine can still run with one cylinder misfiring, but the power output will decrease, and the smoothness of operation will also be reduced. Cylinder misfire means that a certain cylinder in the engine fails to ignite and stops working. This phenomenon is relatively common, with most cylinder misfires caused by faulty spark plugs or ignition coils. Automobile engines are equipped with spark plugs and ignition coils, which are the main components of the engine's ignition system. Spark plugs are wear-and-tear parts that require regular replacement. If spark plugs are not replaced for a long time, the electrode gap will widen, affecting the ignition energy of the spark plug.

What is the lifespan of Michelin tires in kilometers?

Michelin tires do not have a rigid service life. The lifespan of a tire depends on various factors such as vehicle condition, road conditions, climate, driving habits, tire pressure, etc. Generally, the lifespan is two years or 60,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. The functions of tires are: 1. To transmit driving force, braking force, and steering force for vehicle operation; 2. To support the vehicle load; 3. To reduce and absorb vibrations and impacts during driving, preventing damage to vehicle components. Tire maintenance methods include: 1. Regularly checking tire pressure; 2. Removing debris from tire treads; 3. Inspecting tire wear and replacing them promptly based on wear conditions; 4. Performing tire rotation to ensure even force distribution among all four tires and avoid excessive wear.

What Determines a Car's Power?

Car power is determined by horsepower (power output), torque, 0-100 km/h acceleration time, and top speed. Horsepower refers to the engine's maximum power output, which determines the car's speed. Torque is one of the primary indicators of a car engine and an important standard for evaluating engine performance. It reflects in the car's performance aspects including acceleration, climbing ability, and suspension. The torque of a vehicle is directly proportional to the engine's power output. The 0-100 km/h acceleration time is usually listed in standard car specifications and can directly determine the car's power performance - the shorter the 0-100 km/h acceleration time, the faster the car can start.
