Locate the tire valve. It protrudes from the wheel hub as a short tube with a small cap at the end covering the inflation hole, which prevents dirt and dust from entering the valve. Turn the small cap counterclockwise to remove it. This will expose the inflation hole. Be careful not to lose this small cap; it's best to keep it in your pocket. Test the tire pressure gauge to see the current reading. To do this, screw the pressure gauge onto the tire valve, and it will display the tire pressure reading. Finally, refer to what the normal tire pressure should be.

Last time someone let the air out of my car, and the tire was as flat as a balloon, which made me quite anxious. I quickly parked the car in a safe spot to avoid damaging the rims. I opened the trunk to find a portable air pump to inflate the tire temporarily and drove to a nearby repair shop for inspection. It turned out the tire wasn't punctured, just deflated. It's advisable to always keep an air pump in the car for emergencies. Parking in monitored areas or familiar spots can prevent such mischief. Make it a habit to regularly check tire conditions to ensure driving safety and avoid serious issues. Keeping the garage tidy reduces potential hazards—prevention is key.

Is DCT an Automatic or Manual Transmission?

DCT belongs to the automatic transmission category, specifically a dual-clutch transmission. Introduction to DCT: The dual-clutch automatic transmission, abbreviated as DCT, can be structurally divided into dry and wet types. The drive shaft in a DCT is split into two parts during operation: one is a solid drive shaft, and the other is a hollow drive shaft. The solid drive shaft connects to gears 1, 3, 5, and reverse, while the hollow drive shaft connects to gears 2, 4, and 6. Two separate clutches are responsible for the engagement of each drive shaft, allowing engine power to be transmitted seamlessly through one of the shafts. Differences between Wet and Dry DCT: Response Speed: Dry clutches transmit power directly through metal plates, providing more immediate power delivery. When the metal plates are pressed together, the transmission ratio increases, resulting in direct and noticeable effects. Wet clutches, however, use fluid as an intermediary. The process involves speeding up the driving plate, increasing the centrifugal force of the fluid, and then accelerating the driven plate, adding an extra step. Consequently, the response speed is slightly slower. Transmission Efficiency: From the structure of the clutch, it's evident that wet clutches are more complex. This complexity leads to higher energy loss, resulting in lower transmission efficiency for wet dual-clutch transmissions. This means more engine power is consumed, and under unchanged conditions, it leads to higher fuel consumption. Torque Capacity: The metal friction plates in dry clutches cannot withstand excessive torque. If subjected to high stress impacts, the friction plates can easily be damaged. Therefore, dry clutches are only suitable for small-displacement, low-torque output vehicles. Some models even deliberately limit the engine's torque output in lower gears to protect the transmission clutch.

What brand is the engine of the Oshan Kosai?

Oshan Kosai uses Changan's engine. Oshan Kosai is an independent brand, but it uses Changan's engine. More details about the Oshan Kosai are as follows: 1. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine equipped in the Kosai is the same as the 1.5-liter turbocharged engine in the Changan CS75, but there are some differences in tuning and power parameters. When the same engine is used in different cars, automakers generally give it different tuning. 2. The power output method of a turbocharged engine is different from that of a naturally aspirated engine. A naturally aspirated engine can only output greater torque in the mid-to-high RPM range. A turbocharged engine can output maximum torque at very low RPM ranges, so the initial power of this engine is very strong, and turbocharged engines are also more suitable for driving on stop-and-go urban roads. 3. However, turbocharged engines may lack power reserves in the high RPM range at the later stage and may also experience the phenomenon of 'dry roar without moving.' Although large-displacement naturally aspirated engines have weaker power at low RPMs, they can provide continuous power in the mid-to-high RPM ranges.

How to Use the Anti-Skid System?

The usage method of the anti-skid system is as follows: If your car is equipped with ESP or other forms of anti-skid systems, the manufacturer usually sets a control switch button in the vehicle. Simply press it briefly to turn off the ESP, and the ESP indicator light on the dashboard will illuminate. To reactivate the ESP, press the button briefly again. Extension: The Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Traction Control System (TCS), Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR), and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) are all derivatives of the car's anti-skid system, with ESP being the most advanced form. ESP is usually enabled by default in vehicles, and manual operation is not required to activate it.

Reasons for Ford Cars Displaying High Engine Temperature

Ford cars displaying excessively high engine temperature are primarily caused by poor internal engine cooling. It is recommended to visit a specialized repair shop to inspect the water pump thermostat and clean the radiator. Engine overheating is extremely dangerous and may lead to engine damage. Below are the handling methods for high engine temperature: If the engine overheats on a regular road, you should reduce the speed as soon as possible, drive the car to a shaded area or a relatively cooler place, and stop the car. Open the engine hood and let the engine idle, waiting for the engine temperature to gradually return to normal. After the engine coolant temperature returns to normal, turn off the engine.
