Solutions for when a piece of the tire sidewall falls off: 1. Check if the cords are exposed: If the cords or radial belts are not exposed, it indicates the damage is superficial, just a piece of rubber missing, and does not affect usage; 2. Location of the damage: If the damage is on the sidewall of the tire, it is recommended to replace the tire, as sidewall damage cannot be repaired on any tire; 3. Presence of bulging: If the tire shows signs of bulging, it should be replaced immediately. The sidewall is the most vulnerable part of the tire structure. Besides the innermost airtight layer and fabric layer, only the outer rubber bears the force. The internal gas of the tire provides support, and the sidewall restricts the shape of the gas to maintain the tire's form.

Why is one side always wider than the other when reversing into a parking space?

Here are the reasons why one side is always wider than the other when reversing into a parking space: 1. Steering too early: When reversing to the right, the wheels will be closer to the corner of the parking space, resulting in a left-wide and right-narrow issue after parking. 2. Steering too late: After reversing into the parking space, the result will be left-narrow and right-wide. Below is extended information about the subject 2 driving test items: 1. Test content: The five test items are reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving on a curve. 2. Requirements: Subject 2 requires 26 study hours, including 2 hours of theoretical knowledge, so the actual practice time is 24 hours.

How is liability determined in a rear-end collision?

In the case where the front vehicle is driving normally, if the rear vehicle collides due to excessive speed or lack of concentration, the rear vehicle bears full responsibility for the rear-end collision. If the front vehicle suddenly reverses while on the road, causing a rear-end collision, and the rear vehicle is traveling at high speed, it can easily result in severe damage or fatalities. When the front vehicle stalls suddenly on a slope and fails to engage the handbrake or step on the brake in time, and the rear vehicle is too close, it can easily lead to a rolling rear-end collision. If your vehicle breaks down and is forced to stop on the road, please place a warning triangle behind the vehicle and turn on the hazard lights.

Why can't the car accelerate beyond 80 km/h?

Possible reasons why the car can't accelerate beyond 80 km/h are as follows: 1. Engine air filter: A faulty air filter can cause poor air intake, leading to a significant drop in power. You can remove the air filter and test the power without it. 2. Fuel filter: A clogged fuel filter can result in poor fuel supply and insufficient fuel pressure at the injectors, causing a noticeable loss of power. 3. Exhaust blockage: Another reason for power loss could be poor exhaust flow. This issue often occurs in winter when the car is driven only short distances (3-5 km) and turned off before the exhaust pipe heats up. Water can accumulate in the exhaust pipe, freeze in cold weather, and gradually form larger ice blocks that eventually block the exhaust pipe, reducing power. If completely blocked, the car may not start. The solution is to heat the exhaust pipe until the ice melts.

What Causes a Cruze to Stall a Few Seconds After Starting?

There are several reasons why a Cruze may stall a few seconds after starting: 1. Use of low-quality fuel: Many gas stations sell impure fuel for excessive profits, leading to engine carbon buildup and stalling. 2. Damaged fuel system: Issues such as a damaged fuel pump, blocked fuel lines, clogged fuel injectors, or abnormal fuel pressure can also cause the car to stall. 3. Insufficient driving skills: Inexperienced drivers or improper operation may result in stalling. 4. Spark plug or ignition coil failure: Faulty spark plugs or ignition coils can cause one or more cylinders to misfire, leading to stalling. However, stalling typically occurs only when multiple cylinders fail to ignite simultaneously, making this a possible but less likely cause.
