The methods to handle a tire burst while driving are as follows: 1. Front tire burst. Firmly grip the steering wheel, adjust the car's direction gently, avoiding any sudden or repeated steering wheel movements, and do not brake abruptly. Wait for the vehicle speed to gradually decrease before gently steering, then place a warning triangle behind the car to prevent secondary accidents. 2. Rear tire burst. Compared to a front tire burst, a rear tire burst is less dangerous. The driver should hold the steering wheel firmly and gently press the brake pedal to shift the car's center of gravity forward, allowing the intact front tires to bear more weight and reduce the pressure on the burst rear tire. Remember not to press the brake pedal too hard. 3. Downshift and decelerate. Allow the speed to decrease slowly, then gently brake to stop. After stopping due to a tire burst, first turn on the hazard lights to alert following vehicles for safety and timely avoidance. Simultaneously, place the warning triangle 50-150 meters behind the vehicle to signal following cars; on highways, it should be placed 150-250 meters behind the vehicle.

Is the CS55 Equipped with a Blue Whale Engine?

The engine in the CS55 is not a Blue Whale engine. It is independently developed and produced by Changan and belongs to a domestically manufactured engine. The engine model of the CS55 is JL476ZQCD, with a maximum power of 115kW (5500rpm), a maximum horsepower of 156Ps, and a maximum torque of 225 Nm. For daily maintenance of the CS55's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, leading to various engine issues. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil periodically based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, it may rupture the filter or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Periodically use a radiator cleaner to flush the radiator. Removing rust and scale deposits not only ensures the engine operates properly but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

Can the Handbrake Be Used as a Brake?

No, here is the relevant information: Mechanical Handbrake: The mechanical handbrake uses a parking brake lever to pull a brake cable (steel wire), which drives a push rod in the brake to press the brake shoes against the brake drum, creating a braking effect. Note that this type of handbrake can only brake the rear wheels and not the entire vehicle. Electronic Handbrake: The electronic handbrake has a very important function, which is the dynamic emergency braking function. If an extreme situation occurs during driving, such as sudden brake failure or the driver being unable to control the brakes (e.g., the brake pedal is stuck, or the driver falls asleep), pulling and holding the electronic handbrake switch (it must be held and not just pulled once and released) can apply braking to the vehicle. Note: In this case, the vehicle's braking is not the mechanical parking brake but the full hydraulic braking of the vehicle.

What Certificates Are Needed to Open a Repair Shop?

Opening an auto repair shop requires the following certificates: Auto Repair License, Business License, Organization Code Certificate, Tax Registration Certificate, etc. Below are the relevant details: Important Notes: Select a suitable initial team. Starting an auto repair shop not only requires technical skills but also a team, including sales and administrative staff. A repair shop cannot be fully supported by just one or two people; more team members are needed to work together to help the initial project develop faster. Selecting the initial team members also has certain conditions and should not be done blindly. Location: Find a suitable location. An auto repair shop has requirements for space—it cannot be too small. It also needs good road access and sufficient parking space. Only by meeting these three requirements can it attract car owners and ensure business for the repair shop. Although the location can be somewhat remote, it must have convenient transportation and be large enough.

What Causes a Motorcycle to Fail to Shift into Second Gear?

Gear lever malfunction, gear hook spring breakage, or issues with the shift drum or star gear. It could be problems with the shift arm on the right side of the shift drum, the shift hook, or the shift drum positioning device. Open the right engine cover for inspection; generally, the gear teeth and shift forks should be fine. Below is relevant information: Gear pedal not moving: Check if the shift lever on the push-pull arm assembly is bent—if so, straighten it. Verify the coaxiality of the left and right engine housing holes supporting the shift lever; adjust if inconsistent. Disassemble the gearbox to inspect if the shift fork is stuck or if foreign objects are jamming the gear. Gear pedal not returning: Inspect if the return spring is broken—replace if necessary. Check if the shift adjustment screw is loose—if so, flatten the locking washer's edge and tighten the lock nut.
