Vehicle shows low tire pressure handling method: When the car's tire pressure is too low, and the air leakage is not very serious, the vehicle can be driven to the nearest tire repair shop for treatment. If the tire pressure is already too low to continue driving, and there is an onboard air pump, you can inflate the tire first, then drive slowly to the repair shop for treatment. If the air leakage is very serious, it is recommended to replace the spare tire to avoid continuing driving and causing the rim to deform. Hazards of low tire pressure: The friction coefficient with the road surface will increase, leading to higher fuel consumption; it will cause the steering wheel to become heavy and prone to deviation, which are factors detrimental to driving safety; it will increase the movement of various parts of the tire, and excessive rolling will cause abnormal heating of the tire. The friction between the tire and the ground increases exponentially, the tire temperature rises sharply, the tire becomes soft, and its strength drops sharply. If the vehicle is driven at high speed, it may lead to a tire blowout. It will increase the deformation of the tire body, and cracks are prone to appear on the sidewall, while generating flexing motion, leading to excessive heat, promoting rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layer, and breaking of the cords. It will also increase the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating wear on the tire shoulder.

Every time the tire pressure warning light comes on, I immediately find a safe place to pull over. As a seasoned driver with years of experience, I know that driving with low tire pressure is absolutely not an option—it can cause tire wear and deformation, and even lead to a blowout on the highway, which is extremely dangerous. I always carry a tire pressure gauge with me to measure the pressure in each tire; the normal range is usually around 32-35 psi, as indicated on the label by the door. If the pressure is slightly low, I use a portable air pump to top it up. If I find a nail or a leak, I either change to the spare tire or call for a tow truck. I make it a habit to check the tire pressure monthly, and even more often when the weather changes—tire pressure tends to be lower in cold weather and higher in hot weather. Maintaining the standard pressure not only ensures safety but also saves on fuel costs and provides a smoother ride. Remember, tires are your lifeline; neglecting small issues can lead to major disasters.

What is the reason for the throttle fault in Geely Vision?

It may be caused by a throttle motor failure. Solution: Generally, if there is no problem with acceleration and the idle speed does not shake, it can be ignored. However, it is still recommended to go to a 4S shop for a computer test. If it is an occasional fault, clearing the fault code is sufficient. If it is a non-occasional fault, the throttle may need to be replaced. Reasons for throttle failure: To a large extent, it is caused by carbon deposits in the throttle valve. The problematic throttle valve internals are black carbon powder produced by incomplete combustion. Prolonged use of the throttle and poor driving habits of the owner are the causes of carbon deposits.

Where is the automatic headlight sensor located?

Automatic headlight sensors are positioned beneath the vehicle's front radiator grille. These sensors detect external light intensity to activate daytime running lights during overcast conditions and switch on headlights at night. Automatic headlights refer to vehicle lighting systems that automatically engage based on ambient light levels. Equipped with photosensitive sensors, they measure light intensity to determine headlight activation. The photosensor is installed beneath the protective panel in front of the engine radiator - an optimal location that ensures accurate environmental light detection while safeguarding the sensor from potential impact damage. The key function of automatic headlights lies in their ability to intelligently toggle illumination based on surrounding light conditions.

What are the methods to make hydraulic power steering lighter?

Methods to make hydraulic power steering lighter: You can replace the power steering fluid with new fluid, which will make the steering wheel feel lighter. If it still feels heavy, it is recommended to check the tire pressure of the front wheels. Low tire pressure in the front wheels can also cause the steering wheel to feel heavy. However, do not inflate the front tires to excessively high pressure just to make the steering lighter, as this will reduce the contact area between the front tires and the road, affecting the vehicle's handling and driving stability. There are two types of hydraulic power steering systems in cars: one is the mechanical hydraulic power steering system, and the other is the electro-hydraulic power steering system. Both types of hydraulic power steering systems have a power steering pump. The power steering pump in a mechanical hydraulic power steering system is driven by the engine, while the power steering pump in an electro-hydraulic power steering system is driven by an electric motor.
