Tire pressure alarms when the pressure is normal are mainly caused by the following situations: 1. Malfunction of the tire pressure sensor or receiver module: This is a relatively rare occurrence, as tire pressure monitors generally have good durability and their lifespan can usually match that of the vehicle. However, signal interference can sometimes occur, which may cause the tire pressure monitor to give false alarms. 2. The car quickly driving over uneven road surfaces: When the tires are impacted at high speed, the internal tire pressure may increase, especially when driving in summer. The thermal expansion and contraction of air can trigger the tire pressure alarm. 3. A punctured tire with very slow air leakage that is not visible to the naked eye: Sometimes, a tire may be punctured or experience slow air leakage due to aging. Such minor pressure fluctuations are usually not noticeable to people, but the tire pressure monitoring system can detect them.

What Causes the Engine to Automatically Shut Down Due to Overheating?

The reason for the engine automatically shutting down due to overheating is either a lack of engine coolant or a malfunctioning engine thermostat. Lack of Engine Coolant: Coolant, also known as antifreeze, prevents the coolant from freezing during cold seasons when the vehicle is parked, which could otherwise crack the radiator or damage the engine block. If the engine coolant is significantly low, it can lead to overheating issues. It is essential to replenish the coolant promptly. Malfunctioning Engine Thermostat: The thermostat is a valve that controls the flow path of the coolant. It is an automatic temperature-regulating device, typically containing a temperature-sensing component that opens or closes the flow of air, gas, or liquid based on thermal expansion or contraction. If the engine thermostat is damaged, the vehicle will be unable to continue driving.

The low beam is also a type of headlight. During the driving test (Subject 3), the instruction to turn on the headlights specifically means turning on the low beam. Introduction to headlights: Car headlights are most commonly used in daily driving. They must provide good illumination while avoiding glare for oncoming vehicles, which could affect the driver's normal operation. Precautions: When using headlights, it is important to keep them clean, especially when driving in rain or snow, as dirt can reduce the illumination effectiveness of the headlights.
