This is a normal phenomenon designed to prevent the engine from "seizing up" due to rapid cooling after shutdown. Here's an explanation of why the engine may still make noise after turning off: 1. After driving for a period, various engine components reach high temperatures. If parked immediately, moving parts like cylinders and piston rings, or crankshafts and connecting rods may "stick" together due to excessive heat. 2. This could lead to tightness during the next startup, commonly referred to as "cylinder seizure or bearing failure". After prolonged driving, it's recommended to let the vehicle idle for a few minutes before shutting down, allowing the engine temperature to decrease naturally.

What Tires Are Equipped on the Nissan Sylphy?

The Nissan Sylphy is equipped with Bridgestone tires. The tire size is 195/60R16. Bridgestone Corporation is a world-renowned tire manufacturer, ranking among the top in the global tire industry. When using the Nissan Sylphy's tires in daily driving, pay attention to the following points: Regularly inspect the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to driving wear, the tread grooves gradually become shallower. If the tread is worn flat, it will lose its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the car's performance. Small cracks may also pose a risk of blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles lodged in the grooves. Park on level ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that may degrade rubber. After parking, avoid turning the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water to cool overheated tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires can overheat, and tire pressure may increase. In such cases, stop to allow the tires to cool naturally. Avoid releasing air to reduce pressure or splashing water to cool the tires, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Minimize frequent or hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging between the tires and the road surface.

What Lights Should Be Turned On in Rainy Weather?

When the rain is light, you should use the width indicator lights; when the rain is heavy, you should turn on the headlights or front fog lights. Also, avoid using hazard lights while driving and do not use the outline lights for extended periods. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Width Indicator Lights: The word 'width' in 'width indicator lights' literally means 'to indicate width,' serving as signal lights to alert other vehicles. 2. Front Fog Lights: Front fog lights are installed at the front of the car, usually in a bright yellow color and positioned slightly lower than the headlights. They are used to illuminate the road during rainy or foggy weather. Due to low visibility in foggy conditions, the driver's line of sight is limited. These lights can increase the driving distance, especially the strong light penetration of yellow anti-fog lights, enhancing visibility for the driver and other traffic participants, allowing oncoming vehicles and pedestrians to spot each other from a greater distance.

How to Distinguish the Number of Axles on a Truck?

The method to distinguish the number of axles on a truck is to count the rows of wheels from front to back; the number of rows equals the number of axles. Here is additional information: 1. Reason for multiple axles: Trucks have a higher load capacity and self-weight compared to regular vehicles, hence they require more axles to comply with the permissible axle load and weight per meter restrictions on roads. 2. Classification: (1) Large trucks typically have more axles, also referred to as axles or bridges, categorized as single-axle or double-axle; (2) Based on the number of axles, they can also be classified as front-four-rear-eight or front-four-rear-four. 3. Function: The axle's role is to bear the vehicle's load and ensure normal operation on the road.
