When changing a tire, the jack should be placed under the chassis. Here is some information about changing car tires: 1. Function of tires: Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery for rolling contact with the ground. They are usually installed on metal rims to support the vehicle body, absorb external shocks, maintain contact with the road surface, and ensure driving performance. 2. Replacement principles: Tires of different specifications have different inflated outer diameters and section widths. If installed on the same axle, the load distribution will be uneven. Due to the different structures of radial tires and bias tires, their cushioning performance and circumferential deformation vary. Mixing these two types of tires on the same axle will inevitably result in uneven load distribution and inconsistent wear.

Wheel arch, short for car wheel arch, refers to the chrome trim strip along the upper edge of the tire, which is a semicircular component protruding from the fender above the car tire. Below is a related introduction to wheel arches: 1. Function of wheel arches: Mainly for decorative purposes and to meet the personalized needs of drivers. At the same time, from an aerodynamic perspective, wheel arches also conform to fluid dynamics, helping to reduce the drag coefficient. Wheel arches are not an essential component of a vehicle and may vary depending on the design philosophy of the car manufacturer. 2. Benefits of wheel arches: Installing wheel arches on a car, especially for non-white cars like black or red ones, not only enhances visual appeal but also makes the car body appear lower and highlights the streamlined curvature of the vehicle.

How to Recharge Car Air Conditioning with Refrigerant?

There are two methods to recharge a car's air conditioning system: high-pressure side charging and low-pressure side charging. High-pressure side charging involves liquid refrigerant, characterized by safety and speed, making it suitable for the initial charging of the refrigeration system. Low-pressure side charging uses gaseous refrigerant, which is slower and typically used for topping up. Precautions when recharging car air conditioning with refrigerant: 1. Avoid direct sunlight or stove heating of refrigerant containers to prevent accidents; 2. Prevent direct contact between refrigerant and human skin to avoid frostbite; 3. Avoid refrigerant accidentally entering the eyes to prevent blindness; 4. Once the refrigerant lines are opened or if there is a leak, the refrigerant will completely escape; 5. Refrigerant in gaseous form is heavier than air, so avoid repairing the air conditioning in trenches or low-lying areas to prevent suffocation, and ensure the work area is well-ventilated.

What does it mean when the wrench indicator light is on in a car?

The wrench indicator light is a maintenance reminder light, not a fault indicator. It is a user-friendly setting that alerts the car owner to perform vehicle maintenance. If the wrench light comes on while driving, it is necessary to promptly visit a 4S shop for car maintenance to prevent potential malfunctions during driving. Due to variations in car models, the mileage settings may differ. You can find the specific reference in the car's maintenance manual. If the wrench light appears after normal maintenance, you can manually reset the wrench indicator by following these steps: 1. Insert the key, but do not turn it; 2. Press and hold the operation lever next to the odometer for 5 to 10 seconds, then turn the key to the power-on position; 3. After another 5 to 10 seconds, start the car while continuing to hold the operation lever without releasing it.
