What to Do When Tires Lock Up?

1 Answers

Tire lock-up requires the installation of ABS. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. Cars equipped with ABS, when encountering emergency situations, continuously monitor the speed of each wheel through speed sensors installed on each wheel or drive shaft. The car's computer calculates the wheel slip rate and the required braking force at that moment, making decisions on braking pressure. 2. The controller instructs the regulator to reduce the hydraulic pressure in the wheel's brake cylinder, decreasing the braking torque. This process of repeatedly applying and releasing the brakes ensures that the car tires do not lock up, enhancing driving safety. Additional information: Prolonged parking of tires: Generally, if the brake drum contains water after washing the car or rain, applying the handbrake and leaving the car parked for a long time can cause the tires to lock up.

Why Does the Car Make a Squeaking Noise When Going Over Speed Bumps While Cold?

The reasons for the squeaking noise when a cold car goes over speed bumps are: 1. The shock absorber rubber pads are too cold and lose elasticity; 2. Aging of the lower control arm bushings and stabilizer link bushings; 3. The bushings at both ends of the shock absorber are made of materials like polyurethane or hard rubber, which harden and create gaps when cold. Speed bumps are traffic facilities installed on roads to slow down passing vehicles. They come in strip or dot shapes and are made of rubber or metal, with alternating yellow and black colors for visual attention. They slightly raise the road surface to achieve the purpose of slowing down vehicles. They are placed at road intersections, industrial and mining areas, schools, residential areas where vehicles need to slow down, and sections prone to traffic accidents. They are specialized safety installations designed to reduce the speed of motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles.

How to Permanently Disable the Auto Start-Stop Function in BMW?

To permanently disable the auto start-stop function in BMW, simply press the 'AOFF' button. When the button light is on, it indicates that the start-stop function is deactivated. The auto start-stop function serves the following purposes: 1. Automatically controls engine shutdown and restart; 2. Reduces emissions and improves fuel economy; 3. Minimizes engine idle time by providing power to the engine cooling fan and cabin air conditioning via the electrical system when the engine is off. Taking the 2021 BMW 525Li as an example, its body dimensions are: length 5106mm, width 1868mm, height 1500mm, with a wheelbase of 3105mm and a fuel tank capacity of 68 liters.

How long can you drive without registering a newly purchased car?

You can drive without registration for up to three months. A new car can be issued temporary license plates up to three times, with each temporary plate valid for a maximum of one month. Temporary plates have time and regional restrictions. Temporary plates with a light blue background are only valid for driving within the city limits. Driving outside the city limits with such a plate may result in penalties if caught, so be cautious! Temporary plates with a brown-yellow background allow for intercity driving. Generally, temporary plates can be applied for up to three times. The use of temporary license plates is subject to time limits and regional restrictions. Once the temporary plate expires and the vehicle is still unregistered, it cannot be driven on the road.

Why can't DOT5 brake fluid be used?

Since DOT5 grade brake fluid is a silicone-based brake fluid, compared to DOT3 grade (which has strong water absorption), DOT5 almost completely does not absorb water. However, precisely because of its strong repulsion to water, the moisture that enters the brake fluid lines cannot mix well with it. In other words, the fluid and water will coexist as two separate components. Compared to brake fluid, water has a very low boiling point, so this unabsorbed moisture can cause a rapid decline in braking performance. It degrades even faster than DOT4, requiring replacement approximately every six months. Therefore, silicone-based DOT5 has a very limited range of applications. Currently, it is only found in military and racing fields, and it is very difficult to find DOT5 brake fluid for sale in the civilian market.
