When tires are severely worn, bulging, have exceeded a certain age limit, or when nails puncture the tire sidewalls, they need to be replaced. Failure to replace tires can lead to dangerous blowout situations while driving, especially at high speeds where blowouts can be particularly severe. Additionally, it is important to regularly clean small stones or sharp objects from the grooves of car tires. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground. They are often used under complex and demanding conditions, enduring various deformations, loads, forces, and high or low temperatures during operation. Therefore, they must possess high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and cushioning properties.

What to Do When the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor Runs Out of Battery?

Tire pressure monitoring sensor runs out of battery can be replaced at a 4S shop. The battery life of tire pressure monitoring sensors is relatively long, generally lasting 4 to 6 years. The installation locations of tire pressure monitoring sensors include: 1. Built-in tire pressure monitoring: installed inside the tire, replacing the original valve; 2. External tire pressure monitoring: installed outside the valve. The functions of tire pressure monitoring are: 1. It will promptly alarm when there is rapid or slow air leakage due to a nail puncture; 2. It will alarm when tire loosening causes unbalanced friction, leading to tire temperature reaching 70 degrees Celsius to prevent tire blowout; 3. It will alarm when the tire has not been inflated for a long time and the pressure falls below the vehicle's set limit, preventing low pressure from causing tire temperature rise and blowout.

How long can I drive after the car prompts for an oil change?

You can drive within 50 kilometers after the car prompts for an oil change, and normally you can drive to the 4S shop. Car oil change cycle: Mineral oil is generally changed every six months or about 5,000 kilometers; semi-synthetic oil is changed every 7 to 8 months or about 7,500 kilometers; full synthetic oil is changed every year or about 10,000 kilometers. The role of car oil: It cools the engine by carrying heat back to the oil tank and then dissipating it into the air to help the radiator cool the engine. It also provides sealing to prevent leaks, forming a seal between the piston rings and pistons to reduce gas leakage and prevent external contaminants from entering. It acts as a shock absorber; when the pressure at the engine cylinder port rises sharply, suddenly increasing the load on the pistons, piston chips, connecting rods, and crankshaft bearings, this load is transmitted and lubricated through the bearings, cushioning the impact. Additionally, it lubricates to reduce friction, which is its primary function and basic property. It also prevents rust and corrosion and cleans by adsorbing onto parts' surfaces to prevent contact with water, air, acidic substances, and harmful gases.

Where are Deutz engines produced?

Deutz engines are produced in Germany. The company headquarters is located in Cologne, Germany, on the banks of the Rhine River. For many years, it has been renowned worldwide for its flagship product, the Deutz brand diesel engines. The French Deutz engine company's natural gas vehicle engine production facility is situated in Mannheim. Introduction to the Deutz DCA498T3 engine: This is an automotive engine with a total weight of 265 kg, a displacement of 3.168 liters, and a maximum power output ranging from 36 to 74.9 kW. It meets the non-road China III emission standards. This engine retains the basic structure of the 498 model series and is equipped with an electronically controlled high-pressure single-pump fuel injection system. The product has a long service life and is widely used in industrial vehicles, agricultural machinery, and diesel generator applications. Introduction to diesel engines: A diesel engine is an internal combustion engine that burns diesel fuel to release energy. The advantages of diesel engines include high torque output and excellent fuel economy. The working process of a diesel engine shares many similarities with gasoline engines, with each operating cycle also going through four strokes: intake, compression, power, and exhaust. However, since diesel fuel has higher viscosity and lower volatility compared to gasoline, and its autoignition temperature is lower than gasoline's, the formation of combustible mixture and ignition methods differ significantly from gasoline engines.

What is the normal range for tire pressure on highways?

According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the recommended tire pressure for standard tires when driving on highways is 2.4-2.5 bar, while reinforced tires should be inflated to 2.8-2.9 bar. The maximum tire pressure should not exceed 3.5 bar. The hazards of over-inflated tires are as follows: Reduced friction and adhesion of the tires, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates uneven wear of the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overstretches the tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, the tire is more prone to punctures, and impacts can cause internal cracks and blowouts, leading to tire bursts. The hazards of under-inflated tires are as follows: Increases friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, creating unsafe driving conditions; increases movement in various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; weakens the function of cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the bead area and causing abnormal wear; multiplies friction with the ground, rapidly raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may result in tire bursts; increases tire deformation, making the sidewalls prone to cracks and generating flexing movements, leading to excessive heat, rubber aging, cord fatigue, and breakage, while also increasing the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.

How to adjust the time on the car dashboard?

The method to adjust the time on the car dashboard is: 1. Start the vehicle, the clk button can display and set the time. Press and hold the clk button for about 5 seconds until the time display starts flashing; 2. Use the adjustment buttons—turn left to decrease and right to increase—to set the hour and minute separately using the respective keys; 3. After adjusting the time, press the clk button again to confirm. The car dashboard is a device that reflects the working conditions of various vehicle systems. It consists of the coolant level warning light, fuel level indicator, washer fluid level indicator, charging indicator, high/low beam indicator, transmission gear indicator, ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) indicator, traction control indicator, and airbag warning light.

Where is the OBD connector of Citroen C5 located?

The OBD connector of Citroen C5 is located inside the center console near the gear lever. OBD is the On-Board Diagnostics system, and its functions are: 1. To locate and describe faults in specific parts or components for easier maintenance; 2. To alert when faults cause excessive emissions, indicating increased environmental impact from pollutants. OBD includes: 1. EGR; 2. Engine; 3. Particulate filter; 4. Catalytic converter; 5. Oxygen sensor; 6. Emission control system; 7. Fuel system. The working principle of OBD is: when an emission fault occurs, the ECU records the fault information and related codes, and informs the driver through the malfunction indicator light or check engine light.
