If your car's tire pressure is insufficient, you can go to an auto repair shop or a 4S store to inflate the tires. Tire pressure refers to the air pressure inside the tires. The hazards of insufficient tire pressure include: 1. Increased friction coefficient with the road surface; 2. Causes the steering wheel to feel heavy and prone to deviation; 3. Increases the movement of various parts of the tire, leading to abnormal heating due to excessive rolling; 4. Reduces the functionality of the cord and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage; 5. Causes excessive friction with the wheel hub, damaging the bead area; 6. May lead to tire blowouts when driving at high speeds; 7. Increases the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating shoulder wear.

Can't the car be locked if the door is not closed?

Under normal circumstances, the car cannot be locked if the door is not tightly closed. Only when all the doors are fully closed can the car be locked. Some car models will emit a warning sound if you try to lock the car with a door not closed. For example, the Honda Vezel: Normally, the lights will flash three times when locking the car. If you try to lock the car without closing the door tightly, there will be no flashing light reminder. It is recommended to check the vehicle's user manual, which will have detailed explanations. Precautions when locking the car: 1. After locking: After locking the car, it is best to habitually pull the car handle again to check if the door is really locked. 2. When pulling the door: When pulling the door, pay attention to the movement being gentle and not too forceful to avoid damaging the door switch. 3. Observe the warning lights: In addition to pulling the door, also check if the vehicle's warning lights are on when locking the car. Generally, if all the lights flash, it means the car has been locked.

What is the fuel consumption of the Kayo 321r?

Kayo 321r has a fuel consumption of 3.5 liters. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Model colors: The initial launch colors are turquoise green, black-red, and amber orange. Additionally, 10 demo vehicles will be deployed in multiple locations for test drives. This powertrain is geared towards high RPMs, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of around six seconds and a top speed of 180 km/h, making the 3.5L fuel consumption quite reasonable. 2. Speed performance: As a sporty street bike, besides excellent acceleration and top speed, nimble handling is essential. With its high-RPM power performance and lightweight body, the setup leans more towards handling-oriented demands.

What are the reasons for the engine malfunction indicator light (MIL) illuminating in a new JAC Junling truck?

The engine malfunction indicator light (MIL) may illuminate due to the following 7 main reasons: Sensor malfunction: This includes sensors such as coolant temperature, crankshaft position, mass air flow, intake air temperature, and oxygen sensors. When these sensors are damaged, have poor connections, or experience signal interruptions, the vehicle's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, triggering the MIL. Fuel/oil quality issues: Failure to use fuel and engine oil as specified by the manufacturer may cause engine wear, leading to MIL activation. Poor fuel mixture combustion: Incomplete combustion can cause engine carbon buildup or knocking. When detected by oxygen sensors and reported to the ECU, the MIL will illuminate as a warning. This can be caused by faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel pumps, or clogged fuel lines. Turbocharger issues: Problems with the intake boost system or turbocharger can trigger the MIL. The most common issue is turbocharger damage, often accompanied by symptoms like oil leaks, excessive oil consumption, reduced power, metallic noises, or blue/black exhaust smoke. Intake system problems: Air intake issues may lead to engine passage blockage, potentially causing the MIL to illuminate. A dirty air filter that hasn't been regularly cleaned can cause intake problems. Exhaust system faults: Exhaust issues can also trigger the MIL. Common causes include rear oxygen sensor failure, catalytic converter problems (most frequent), or exhaust camshaft/bearing failures. Using leaded gasoline, lead/silicon-containing lubricant additives, physical damage to the catalytic converter, or fuel system malfunctions can all contribute to catalytic converter failure. Anti-theft system malfunction: If the vehicle's electronic anti-theft system fails or if there's incompatibility between the anti-theft controller and engine ECU, the system may prevent normal engine operation while illuminating the MIL. When the MIL illuminates, follow these steps: First, check if the engine is operating normally. If there's noticeable shaking, black smoke emission, or other abnormalities, avoid restarting the engine. Particularly important: never restart if the red warning light is on. If the engine can start, turn it off for 5-10 minutes. Then, without pressing the brake pedal, press the start button once or turn the key halfway to the ON position (without depressing the clutch). The vehicle will initiate a self-check upon power-up. After 5-10 seconds, observe whether the MIL turns off. If the light remains on, visit a service center promptly. Technicians can use diagnostic tools to read trouble codes, identify specific issues, and perform targeted repairs.

How to Prevent Mistaking the Accelerator for the Brake?

For beginners, the method to avoid mistakenly pressing the accelerator instead of the brake is: when acceleration is not needed, move the foot to the brake pedal. This action is called 'preparing the brake.' In case of any situation, braking can be immediately applied, resulting in a shorter braking reaction time and avoiding the mistake of pressing the wrong pedal. Below are additional details: 1. The function and principle of the brake: The brake is used to reduce speed or stop the vehicle. Its working principle involves the friction between the brake pads and the brake drum, as well as between the tires and the ground, converting the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy through friction, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle. 2. The function of the accelerator is: By controlling the amount of pedal pressure, the engine speed can be regulated; the accelerator controls the carburetor to determine the engine's output power.

Is Car Maintenance Necessary?

Analysis of Essential Car Maintenance Items: 1. Engine Oil: Engine oil must be replaced without a doubt. Known as the 'blood' of the engine, the engine is the vehicle's most critical and vital component. Any issue with the engine can severely impact the vehicle's performance. Engine oil primarily lubricates, reduces shock and buffer, cools, and minimizes engine wear. Any problem in these functions can be serious. 2. Oil Filter: Replacing the oil filter is also essential. Many car owners might notice during maintenance that a round object under the car is replaced when changing the oil—this is the oil filter. It filters out impurities like dust, carbon deposits, and metal particles from the oil, protecting the engine. This is a crucial component that must be replaced. 3. Antifreeze: For most car owners, antifreeze might not need replacement until the car is scrapped or replaced. However, special circumstances can't be ruled out, so regular observation is necessary. Antifreeze levels should neither be below the minimum nor above the maximum line. Its main functions are to prevent freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and to protect against scale and corrosion. 4. Brake Fluid: Open the engine hood and locate a round cap on the bracket to add brake fluid. Due to its water-absorbing nature, brake fluid can separate oil and water over time, leading to different boiling points, reduced performance, and affected braking. It's recommended to replace brake fluid every 40,000 km, though this can be adjusted based on the vehicle's condition. 5. Power Steering Fluid: Power steering fluid is used in the car's power steering pump. It facilitates easy steering through hydraulic action, similar to automatic transmission fluid, brake fluid, and shock absorber fluid. It's advisable to replace it during major maintenance. 6. Spark Plugs: The importance of spark plugs is obvious—without them, a car would be like a person in a vegetative state. Over time, the engine may run unevenly, causing vibrations. In severe cases, cylinder deformation can occur, leading to increased fuel consumption. Thus, spark plugs are crucial and should be replaced around every 60,000 km.
