Car heaters producing odors are mainly caused by excessive air humidity or too much condensation from the air conditioning system. The detailed reasons are as follows: 1. Do not keep the car heater on for extended periods. Prolonged use of the heater in the car can lead to poor air circulation, especially in winter when windows are closed, creating a sealed environment where air circulation is inevitably poor. 2. Avoid setting the heater temperature too high: While driving, if the heater temperature is set too high, it can easily cause drowsiness. Be mindful not to direct the heater vents towards your face, as prolonged exposure to hot air can dry out the air inside the car and significantly harm the skin.

What is the size of a 285 tire?

285 tire refers to an automotive tire with a width of 285mm. Below is relevant information about tire specifications: 1. Tire specifications; Tire specifications are commonly represented by a set of numbers, where the first number indicates the tire section width, and the latter denotes the rim diameter, measured in inches. For example, a tire marked 285/70/17 signifies a tire with a width of 285mm, an aspect ratio of 70, and a diameter of 17 inches. 2. Classification by tire usage: Tires are categorized by usage, including load-bearing tires, passenger vehicle tires, and mining tires, among others. Load-bearing tires must not only display the specification dimensions on the sidewall but also indicate the ply rating. However, it is important to note that the ply rating of load-bearing tires does not refer to the actual number of layers but rather to the tire body made with high-strength material cords, whose load-bearing performance is equivalent to that of a tire body made with cotton cord layers.

How many inches is a 245 tire?

245 tire refers to a tire that is 245mm wide. The following is a related introduction about tire size: 1. Tire width: Tire width is one of the factors that affect the vehicle's fuel consumption performance. The wider the tread, the larger the contact area with the ground, the greater the friction, and the higher the fuel consumption. 2. Aspect ratio: Tires with a higher aspect ratio have longer sidewalls, providing better comfort, but the disadvantage of a high aspect ratio is weaker lateral resistance during turns. 3. Tire size speed rating: Car tires limit the speed, and different tires have different speed standards. It is essential to strictly adhere to the tire's speed limit during driving, otherwise, it will significantly reduce the tire's service life and increase the risk of a blowout.

What is the recommended tire pressure for 750 steel radial tires?

750 steel radial tires should be inflated to approximately 9 bars. Below is relevant information about steel radial tires: 1. Overview: The model designation for all-steel radial tires should be "750R16". Without considering the vehicle's powertrain and overload factors, these tires can carry 10-12 tons, with recommended pressures of 8.5 bars for front tires and 10 bars for rear tires. 2. Tire model explanation: "75" represents the tire's aspect ratio, which is the ratio of tire width to height. Here it indicates the tire height is 65% of the tire width - the smaller this number, the flatter the tire appears. "R" denotes the tire's structure, meaning it's a radial tire where the cord plies are arranged radially in the tire body. "16" indicates the tire diameter in inches.

What are the common issues with the steering gear of the new Excelle?

The common issue with the steering gear of the new Excelle is the steering wheel not returning to center. The related solutions are: Adjust the four-wheel alignment: Generally, when a vehicle exhibits the phenomenon of the steering wheel not returning to center, the four-wheel alignment can be adjusted. Four-wheel alignment refers to the relative positional relationship between the wheels and the chassis (wheels, steering knuckle, front axle, etc.). If the four-wheel alignment parameters change, issues such as incorrect steering direction, heavy steering, steering deviation, and tire wear may occur. Replace the steering gear: If the steering wheel still does not return to center after adjusting the four-wheel alignment, then the cause can be ruled out as the four-wheel alignment. After excluding the four-wheel alignment, the most likely cause is the steering gear. When the steering gear malfunctions and the reverse efficiency decreases, the steering wheel will be difficult to return to center.
