If it happens while driving, promptly stabilize the steering wheel and slow down to stop. Set up a warning triangle behind the vehicle and call your insurance company or roadside assistance. Use a tire repair kit to fix the damaged tire, then inflate it with an air pump, and finally drive to the nearest repair shop for further tire repair. If you don't have a repair kit or air pump, you'll need to call professional rescue services for assistance or have the car towed to a repair shop.

I often drive on business trips without a spare tire in my car. If a sudden tire blowout occurs, I immediately find a safe place to pull over, turn on the hazard lights to avoid being rear-ended. Then, I use my phone to contact roadside assistance or my insurance company, as they offer towing services to handle the situation. If there's a repair shop nearby, I walk there for help; or check apps for mobile tire repair services. Remember, never keep driving on a flat tire—it causes more damage and leads to costly repairs. I usually use a tire monitoring app to prevent abnormalities and recommend everyone to carry a tire repair kit or an electric air pump for emergencies, making temporary fixes quicker and more cost-effective. A tire blowout is no small matter—safety comes first. Don't let panic cloud your judgment; stay calm and handle it properly.

Can the Audi A3 use 92-octane gasoline?

Audi A3 can use 92-octane gasoline, but it is recommended to use 95-octane gasoline. There are markings on the inside of the fuel tank cap indicating this, and it is also stated in the user manual. The octane rating represents the ratio of the actual gasoline's anti-knock performance to that of standard gasoline. The higher the octane number, the stronger the anti-knock performance. However, higher octane doesn't necessarily mean better; the appropriate gasoline grade should be selected based on the engine's compression ratio. The dimensions of the Audi A3 hatchback are 4312mm in length, 1785mm in width, and 1426mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2629mm.

Will ETC be subject to fraudulent charges?

Applying for ETC will not result in fraudulent charges, as the vast majority of ETC systems are very secure. To prevent ETC from being fraudulently charged, car owners are advised to: 1. Set a fixed limit for the ETC at the bank, and avoid setting it too high; 2. Remove the ETC card when leaving the vehicle; 3. ETC is an IC card that can only be settled in ETC scenarios, so try not to bind other bank cards when applying. The ETC system uses automatic vehicle identification technology to complete wireless data communication between the vehicle and the toll station, enabling automatic vehicle sensing and identification and the exchange of relevant toll data. It uses a computer network to process toll data, achieving a fully automatic electronic toll collection system without the need for stopping or setting up toll booths.

What Should Be Noted During the Overtaking Process While Driving?

During the overtaking process, forced overtaking is prohibited. If the vehicle ahead does not yield speed or lane due to certain reasons, forced overtaking should not be attempted. When there is insufficient safe distance ahead of the vehicle in front, do not forcibly squeeze in or push against it. Maintain a smooth overtaking path. Before overtaking, move into the left lane in advance, and delay returning to the right lane after overtaking, keeping the driving trajectory basically parallel to the vehicle being overtaken. Always pay attention to maintaining a safe distance from the overtaken vehicle before, during, and after overtaking. If an obstacle is detected on the left side during overtaking and the lateral distance is too small, potentially causing a squeeze or scrape, quickly decelerate, abort the overtaking, and wait for another opportunity. However, use the brake cautiously to prevent skidding. Key considerations for overtaking include: timing the overtake correctly. Often, it's safer to overtake when there are fewer vehicles ahead and behind and the road conditions are good. Remember to use the turn signal—activate the left turn signal to alert the vehicle behind that you intend to overtake, and quickly switch to the right turn signal after overtaking to return to the normal lane. Use the horn appropriately. Depending on the situation, honk the horn to alert the vehicle ahead of your intention to overtake, prompting them to yield. Utilize high beams and hazard lights effectively. Proper use of high beams and hazard lights can alert the vehicle ahead that you are overtaking and also remind oncoming vehicles to stay safe.
