Tire Pressure Warning Light comes on for the following reasons and solutions: 1. Punctured tire: If the tire is punctured and air leaks slowly, drive at low speed to the nearest repair shop for treatment. Do not pull out the nail immediately, as it may cause more severe air leakage, making the car unable to continue driving. 2. Long-distance driving: Prolonged driving increases tire temperature, leading to higher tire pressure and triggering the warning light. In this case, you can stop and wait for the tire temperature to cool down naturally before continuing, or switch to a spare tire. 3. Lack of tire pressure maintenance: If the issue is due to prolonged lack of tire pressure, use an onboard air pump to inflate the tire to the normal range for regular driving.

That day while driving home, the tire pressure warning light suddenly flashed on, making me nervous. I immediately slowed down and pulled over to a safe parking lot. Getting out, I felt each tire by hand—one rear tire was noticeably flat, with severely low pressure. Using a small pressure gauge from my bag, I measured it at only 15 psi, when the normal level should be around 32 psi. Luckily, I always carry a portable air pump, so I quickly inflated the tire to the proper pressure, and the warning light turned off. However, I discovered a nail had punctured the tire, so I went to a nearby repair shop to get it fixed. The mechanic said such warning lights could indicate either a slow leak or a system malfunction, and timely action can prevent dangerous blowouts. Now I’ve learned my lesson—I check tire pressure monthly, which gives me much more peace of mind while driving. Never ignore such warnings—safety comes first.

When I saw the tire pressure warning light on the dashboard, I slowed down and drove to a gas station instead of rushing onto the highway. I dug out the pressure gauge from the car and checked—the left front tire was only at 20 psi, far below the standard 35 psi. I quickly used the self-service air pump to inflate it to the normal level. If the light stays on, there might be a puncture or a sensor issue. Simple troubleshooting steps include feeling the tire for leaks, listening for hissing sounds, or checking for bulges. If I can't handle it myself, I’ll take it to a professional shop to prevent tire wear from affecting driving balance. I make it a habit to maintain my car properly, especially in cold weather, to avoid pressure fluctuations triggering warnings. This small effort saves big money and ensures a smoother ride.

Why does the Cruze's fan keep running when the water temperature is not high?

The reason is a faulty thermostat. Below is an introduction to the thermostat: 1. Definition: The car thermostat is a valve that controls the flow path of the engine coolant. 2. Function: The thermostat automatically adjusts the amount of water entering the radiator based on the coolant temperature to ensure the engine operates within an appropriate temperature range, which can help save energy. 3. Impact: The thermostat must maintain good working condition; otherwise, it will severely affect the normal operation of the engine. For example, if the main valve of the thermostat opens too late or fails to open, it will cause the engine to overheat. If it opens too early, the engine's warm-up time will be prolonged, resulting in the engine temperature being too low.
