Michelin is a tire manufacturer from France, and it is also the first company in the world to invent pneumatic tires. Michelin tires are known for their quietness, comfort, and soft tread, but their disadvantages include poor wear resistance and relatively high prices. The brand mainly offers five series. Pilot High-Performance Series: Sports tires designed for high performance and handling, but with noticeable road noise and lower comfort. The wear resistance index is around 300, indicating lower durability. These tires are mainly suitable for high-performance sedans or sports cars. Primacy Quiet & Comfort Series: Representative products of Michelin's quiet and comfortable tires, including Primacy LC Bo Yue and Primacy HP. The LC Bo Yue is positioned for quietness, comfort, and fuel efficiency, while the HP focuses on quietness, comfort, and handling. The latest 3ST model emphasizes safety, quietness, and comfort. Energy Economy & Durability Series: Designed for economy and durability, this series features excellent wear resistance, wet performance, and environmental friendliness. It includes three models: XM1+, XM2, and MXV8. The XM1+ is positioned for economy and durability, the XM2 for durability and safety, and the MXV8 offers better comfort and handling. Latitude SUV Series: Targeted at SUV models, this series excels in off-road performance, comfort, wear resistance, and durability, expanding Michelin's product coverage in the SUV tire market. X-ICE Winter Series: Designed for winter and snowy conditions, these tires perform well on icy and snowy roads, offering durability, quietness, and a specially designed tread water reservoir. However, their grip on dry and wet roads is not as strong.

As an ordinary car owner, I've been using Michelin tires for several years, and they truly give me peace of mind. The brand is actually French, headquartered in Clermont-Ferrand. How do I know this? Because I looked it up before and found out they're renowned for durability and safety. For example, when driving in the rain, the grip feels exceptionally stable, unlike some cheaper tires that tend to skid. Additionally, many people might not know that Michelin doesn't just make tires—they also publish the famous Michelin Guide, that popular gourmet book. In terms of durability, after fitting them on my car, I averaged tens of thousands of extra kilometers before needing replacements, saving quite a bit of money. Overall, this French brand has a strong global reputation and high trustworthiness.

What warning light indicates low engine oil?

When the engine oil is low, a red oil can warning light will appear on the dashboard. Here are the impacts of driving with insufficient engine oil: 1. Severe engine damage: Continuing to drive with low oil level may cause cylinder scoring, crankshaft and bearing damage in mild cases, or complete engine failure in severe cases. 2. Cylinder scoring or seizure: Engine oil serves four primary functions - lubrication, sealing, heat dissipation, and rust prevention. Oil deficiency leads to insufficient lubrication and poor sealing, causing severe wear of engine components, which significantly reduces vehicle lifespan and compromises driving safety.

What is the general sensing distance of a car key?

The general sensing distance of a car key is 10-50 meters. However, this depends on whether there are obstacles or interference from other electronic devices nearby. If there are obstacles or electronic interference, the sensing distance will be affected. Additionally, insufficient battery power in the remote can significantly impact the signal reception distance. Below are several situations that may occur when the key battery is low: 1. Key malfunction: Suddenly, you may find that you need to press the button several times before getting a response, which indicates low battery and the signal not being transmitted. 2. Dim indicator light: Remote keys usually have a small indicator light that illuminates when operated. If the light becomes dim, it also indicates low battery. 3. Shortened remote distance: If the key originally responded to long-distance remote operation but now only responds when close, this also suggests low battery. Of course, unresponsiveness could also be due to excessive nearby signals causing the car to fail to react promptly. Some thieves exploit this, so it's essential to develop the good habit of closing the door after exiting the car and giving it a manual pull to ensure it's locked.

What is the function of an automobile generator?

An automobile generator serves to supply power to all electrical devices and simultaneously charge the battery when the engine is running normally. Below is relevant information about automobile generators: 1. Generator types: Automobile generators can be divided into DC generators and AC generators. Since AC generators outperform DC generators in many aspects, DC generators have been phased out. 2. AC generators: Most modern vehicles use three-phase AC generators, which incorporate diode rectifier circuits to convert AC to DC. Therefore, automobile AC generators output direct current.

What kind of engine oil is suitable for Geely Emgrand?

Geely New Emgrand is suitable for SAE10W-30 engine oil. When the ambient temperature is below 0°C, SAE5W-30 can be used instead. The API quality grade should be SL or above. Naturally aspirated engines can use mineral oil or synthetic oil, while turbocharged engines should use synthetic oil. It is recommended to use Geely Emgrand's original engine oil or oils such as Mobil Lubricant and Shell Helix HX6. The quality of lubricating oil can be identified as follows: 1. Observe the color and texture of the lubricating oil carefully: Most domestic genuine engine oils are light blue in color, bright in luster, and flow evenly. Any oil with uneven color or flow with abnormal color lines is inferior or deteriorated lubricating oil. Imported lubricating oils are mostly golden with a slight blue tint, crystal clear and transparent. The oil cans are exquisitely made, with clear and neat edges of patterns and codes, and no color leakage or overlapping. Otherwise, it is a counterfeit. 2. Carefully check the packaging: Inferior lubricating oils have poor packaging printing quality and unclear handwriting. However, there are also counterfeit lubricating oils that use recycled genuine packaging, which is more difficult to identify. Generally speaking, the outer packaging of genuine products is of good quality, with clear handwriting on the packaging box, bright overprinting colors, and marked with product name, specification model, quantity, registered trademark, factory name, factory address, telephone number, etc., with a certificate of conformity and inspector's seal. 3. Smell the odor: Qualified lubricating oil should have no special odor. If it has a pungent smell or abnormal odor, it is deteriorated or inferior lubricating oil.

What does dual differential lock mean?

Automotive dual differential lock refers to the central differential lock and rear axle differential lock. The differential lock is a locking mechanism installed on the differential, which connects the left and right drive wheels together to prevent one wheel from spinning while the other doesn't when one wheel slips, ensuring the vehicle can smoothly pass through complex road surfaces. Here are specific details about dual differential locks: 1. Introduction: Dual differential locks can achieve complete mechanical coupling of the power between the two half-shafts, making it very secure. However, differential locks should only be used in severe road conditions or extreme situations, as using them during normal driving can cause serious damage to vehicle components such as tires. 2. Function: The role of the differential lock is equivalent to performing a forced intervention, stopping the differential's function and turning the left and right axles into a rigid connection. Only when the side with resistance has power can the vehicle be driven out of difficult sections and continue moving forward.
