When is the Right Time to Replace Car Tires?

There are two main criteria for replacing car tires: regular wear and tear, and tire damage. Regular wear and tear: The tread patterns on the front of the tire wear down over time. There are small blocks in the tread's drainage grooves that serve as wear limit indicators. When the tread wears down to the level of these indicators, the tire should be replaced. The second criterion is tire damage. The following situations require replacement: nails puncturing the tire or cracks forming, sidewall bulges, or severe indentations on the tread caused by prolonged driving with underinflated tires. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on metal rims, designed to support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, maintain contact with the road, and ensure driving performance.

What is the standard tire pressure for the Geely Boyue?

The normal tire pressure range for the Boyue is 2.4-2.5bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2bar in winter and decreased by 0.1bar in summer. This data is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard. To check the current tire pressure of the Boyue during daily driving, you can activate the tire pressure monitoring system, and the tire pressure values will be displayed on the central LCD screen of the instrument panel. The tire pressure monitoring button for the Boyue is located at the top of the lever under the steering wheel on the left side, marked with a round button. Simply switch to the tire pressure monitoring system interface. Generally, a tire pressure exceeding 2.8bar is considered too high, while a tire pressure below 2.0bar is considered too low. Hazards of over-inflated tires: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread of the tire, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overextends the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. Hazards of under-inflated tires: Increases friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; increases movement in various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; reduces the functionality of cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the tire bead and causing abnormal wear; multiplies friction between the tire and the ground, sharply raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving may result in a tire blowout. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no stamp on top, four small spikes below, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Usually triggers an alarm when below 1.8bar or above 3.0bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the system will still record the previous data, causing the indicator light to come on. Simply perform a tire pressure reset. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve, monitors tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged during driving, it will trigger the tire pressure warning light. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new one.

How to eliminate the flashing AFS light on an old Camry?

AFS OFF light indicates that the headlight's adaptive front-lighting system (AFS) is turned off. Press the switch button located above the brake pedal to activate the intelligent adaptive front-lighting system. Inspect the AFS module, use a decoder to match and set the system, and clear the fault code to eliminate the AFS warning light. Disconnect the headlight power supply, ensure the vehicle's power is off, then open the engine hood, locate the battery's negative terminal, disconnect and reconnect it.

How to Determine if the Car Air Conditioning Pump is Faulty?

The air conditioning does not cool, and the engine speed does not increase when the AC switch is turned on. Check if the compressor's working voltage is sufficient. If not, there is a circuit fault; if it is sufficient, then the compressor is faulty.

How to Make Black Car Paint Look Darker and Shinier?

Repainting is a common method to restore the gloss of car paint. Through grinding and polishing, removing the oxidized paint surface can make the car regain its luster, temporarily restoring the color to its original state when the car was new. Forming a wax film on the car paint surface can inhibit the oxidation effect of harmful external components on the paint. Applying a protective film over the car paint can prevent it from being oxidized by external factors.
