The reason why tires of the same model have different widths is that each manufacturer has its own design philosophy for tires. The functions of tires: Support the entire weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, and transmit forces and moments in other directions. Transmit traction and braking torque, ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface to improve the car's power performance, braking performance, and passability; work together with the car suspension to mitigate the impact during driving and dampen the resulting vibrations. Performance guarantees of tires: Prevent severe vibrations and early damage to car components, adapt to the high-speed performance of the vehicle and reduce driving noise, ensure driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy efficiency.

How to Park an Automatic Transmission Car Correctly?

Automatic transmission car parking method is: 1. Press the brake to slow down until the car stops; after coming to a complete stop, shift into N gear. 2. Engage the handbrake; release the foot brake and confirm the vehicle is stationary; press the foot brake again, shift into P gear, and turn off the engine. This method requires shifting to N gear first, then engaging the handbrake, followed by releasing the foot brake, pressing the foot brake again to shift into P gear, and then turning off the engine. Driving an automatic transmission car: 1. Automatic transmission usually refers to the car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the control system of the automatic transmission selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load while driving, replacing the driver's subjective judgment of timing and gear-shifting operations. 2. Automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L.

What is the maintenance interval for Toyota vehicles?

Toyota vehicles require maintenance every 5,000 kilometers or six months. The maintenance items include: 1. Changing the engine oil and oil filter, cleaning the air filter, and inspecting the generator belt and wiper blades for damage; 2. Checking the fluid levels of various liquids; 3. Verifying the tire pressure; 4. Inspecting the vehicle's chassis, including the brake pads, brake discs, connecting rods, ball joints, and CV joints for any damage; 5. Ensuring all switches and lights in the vehicle are functioning properly. Toyota's lineup includes models such as the Camry, Highlander, Levin, Corolla, and Vios. Taking the 2021 Corolla as an example, it is a compact car with dimensions of 4635mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1455mm in height, a wheelbase of 2700mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the new Emgrand 1.5?

Emgrand's fuel consumption is 6.3 liters per 100 kilometers. The Emgrand is a compact sedan under Geely, with dimensions of 4632 mm in length, 1789 mm in width, 1470 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2650 mm. Engine carbon deposits: Many car owners might first think of carbon deposits when they notice an increase in fuel consumption. Carbon deposits are like grease on a range hood, difficult to clean. They can affect the compression ratio, leading to poor ignition, leaner air-fuel mixture, and fuel adsorption, all of which can impact fuel consumption. Air filter: The air filter can also affect a car's fuel consumption. When the air filter hasn't been replaced for a long time, clogging can reduce the engine's air intake, which can also lead to increased fuel consumption.

What is the fuel consumption of the Jetta VS5?

According to the officially announced comprehensive fuel consumption performance, the Jetta VS5 has a combined fuel consumption of 6.7L per 100 kilometers. Introduction to fuel consumption: Generally refers to the amount of gasoline consumed by a car per 100 kilometers, which is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: The longer the idling time when parked, the greater the fuel consumption, so try to minimize idling time; avoid rapid acceleration, slamming on the accelerator, and driving at lower RPMs. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Various working conditions such as acceleration, deceleration, braking, and engine idling, as well as load capacity, temperature, and whether the air conditioning is on, all have an impact. Incorrect driving habits have the greatest impact on fuel consumption. During driving, especially in heavy traffic, at red lights, or when changing lanes, issues like rapid acceleration and sudden braking are most common.

Can You Still Drive with a Leaking Steering Gear?

If the steering gear is only leaking slightly, you can still continue driving. However, if the leakage is found to be severe, it may affect the normal operation of the steering system, potentially causing the car to fail to steer properly. In such cases, it is best not to continue driving as it could compromise driving safety. Therefore, once a steering gear leak is detected, it is advisable to immediately send the vehicle to a 4S shop or repair shop for inspection. More relevant information is as follows: 1. The steering gear is the most important component of a car's steering function and a critical guarantee of driving safety. 2. Steering gear leaks are mostly caused by the aging of sealing components, also known as oil seals. Over time, these seals harden and lose plasticizers. This deterioration is exacerbated by continuous alternating working temperatures between hot and cold, eventually causing the seals to first shrink, then harden, and even break, leading to inevitable oil leakage.
