What to Do If Your Car Has a Flat Tire in the Middle of the Night?
1 Answers
If your car has a flat tire in the middle of the night and you don't know how to change the spare tire, you can park the car in a safe area, turn on the hazard lights, and use a jack to lift the flat tire while waiting for assistance. Call a 24-hour roadside assistance service, but note that the cost will include both the tire repair fee and the towing or service fee. Below are the functions of a tire pressure monitoring system: 1. Prevent Accidents: The tire pressure monitoring system is a type of active safety device that alerts the driver in time when there are signs of danger in the tires, allowing them to take appropriate measures and avoid serious accidents. 2. Extend Tire Lifespan: With a tire pressure monitoring system, you can ensure that the tires always operate within the specified pressure and temperature range, thereby reducing tire damage and extending their lifespan. Studies show that driving with underinflated tires reduces tire life by 15% when the pressure is 10% below the normal value. 3. Improve Fuel Efficiency: When tire pressure is too low, the contact area between the tire and the road increases, leading to higher friction resistance. If the tire pressure is 30% below the standard value, fuel consumption can increase by 10%. 4. Reduce Suspension System Wear: Overinflated tires reduce the tire's own shock absorption effect, increasing the burden on the vehicle's suspension system. Long-term use under such conditions can cause significant damage to the engine chassis and suspension system. Uneven tire pressure can also lead to braking deviation, further increasing wear on the suspension system.
