Prepare a screwdriver or needle-nose pliers, any tool that is sharp and hard will do. Use the tool to directly remove the stones, or reduce the tire pressure to decrease the force of the grooves on the stones, allowing them to fall off naturally.

Why does the engine get very hot after driving for a while?

The reasons for the engine getting very hot after driving include severe coolant deficiency, water pump failure, and cooling fan malfunction. Below are the relevant explanations: Severe coolant deficiency: If the owner fails to promptly inspect and replenish the coolant, it can easily lead to engine overheating. If the engine gets hot after just a short drive, it is likely not just a minor coolant shortage but possibly due to a leak in the radiator pipes causing severe coolant deficiency. It is recommended to check the coolant. Water pump failure: When the water pump fails, the water that conducts heat away from the engine cannot circulate and renew in time. After driving for a while, the water temperature will rise rapidly, and the water temperature warning light on the dashboard will illuminate. It is recommended to replace the water pump. Cooling fan malfunction: If the cooling fan is damaged or a short circuit causes the fan to malfunction or rotate slowly, the engine's heat cannot be dissipated. This leads to an increase in engine temperature, and opening the engine compartment will naturally reveal significant heat. For other cooling fans connected by belts, check and adjust the belt tension to ensure proper fan speed.

What is the Safe Following Distance?

There is no absolute standard for a safe following distance, as it is a dynamic measure. The most direct and significant influencing factor is the vehicle's speed. The higher the speed, the greater the braking force, stopping distance, and reaction time required. Below are the relevant guidelines for safe following distances: Speed above 100km/h: Maintain a safe distance of at least 100 meters. Speed between 60km/h and 100km/h: The safe distance should equal the speed value. For example, at 90km/h, maintain a 90-meter distance. Speed around 50km/h: Keep a safe distance of no less than 50 meters. Speed below 40km/h: Maintain a safe distance of at least 30 meters. Tips for maintaining a safe following distance: Observe distance confirmation signs. Highways usually have distance confirmation signs and auxiliary markings to help drivers maintain safe distances. Each set of dashed lane dividers on highways is 15 meters apart. Under normal driving conditions, maintain a distance equivalent to about 7 sets from the vehicle ahead; when speed is below 100km/h, keep at least 4 sets of distance.

Why not buy a used Atenza?

Atenza is not recommended as a used car purchase due to unstable fuel consumption that fluctuates unpredictably. Below are specific details about the Atenza: 1. Exterior: The Atenza continues the design of the imported Atenza model, adopting Mazda's KODO design philosophy. The U-shaped front grille paired with LED headlights enhances its sporty appearance. 2. Features: The new car comes standard with an intelligent idle stop system and brake energy regeneration system, among other applications. The 2.5L model of the Atenza accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 8.3 seconds, with a combined fuel consumption as low as 6.9 liters per 100 km, while the 2.0L model achieves an even lower combined fuel consumption of only 6.3 liters per 100 km.

What kind of light is the yellow light?

Yellow light refers to xenon headlights with a color temperature of 3000K. Below is an introduction to xenon headlights: 1. Introduction: Xenon headlights, also known as HID (High-Intensity Discharge) headlights. They replace traditional tungsten filaments with xenon gas encapsulated in quartz tubes, providing higher color temperature and more focused illumination. Xenon headlights generate an arc of light by activating xenon gas with high-voltage current, enabling continuous light emission between two electrodes. 2. Structure: HID xenon headlights generally consist of a lamp head and an electronic ballast (also called a stabilizer or voltage regulator). 3. Principle: The illumination principle of xenon headlights involves filling a VV-CUT ultraviolet-resistant quartz glass tube with various chemical gases, predominantly xenon and iodides, and then using a booster to instantly increase the vehicle's 12V DC voltage to 23,000V.
