Why is the tire pressure always insufficient?

Tire pressure is always insufficient due to abnormal tire pressure, unreset tire pressure monitoring, or damaged tire pressure sensors. Abnormal tire pressure: Generally, an alarm will sound when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. At this point, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Unreset tire pressure monitoring: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure monitoring system is not reset in time, it will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator light to illuminate. Simply reset the tire pressure monitoring to resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve, monitors tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged during driving, the tire pressure warning light will turn on. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new one.

Ever since I started driving, I've noticed that my tire pressure is often too low. Nine times out of ten, it's due to slow leaks caused by nails puncturing the tires or roadside broken glass. Even sand and stones on the road can pose hidden risks. Temperature and weather have a significant impact—summer heat causes obvious expansion and contraction, and sudden temperature drops lead to decreased tire pressure, especially noticeable in spring and autumn. Tires also naturally lose air over time due to rubber aging or wear on the valve's sealing ring, creating small leaks. Harsh vibrations from driving over potholes can accelerate this issue. I've also observed a more than 10% increase in fuel consumption, along with uneven tire wear, which raises the risk of blowouts. For safety, I bought a tire pressure gauge and now make it a habit to check monthly, adjusting the pressure at home or using free equipment at gas stations. I pay extra attention during seasonal changes and always ensure proper tire pressure before long trips—it saves fuel costs and gives me peace of mind on the road.

Is Brake Fluid the Same as Power Steering Fluid?

Brake fluid and power steering fluid are not the same. Brake fluid, also known as hydraulic brake fluid, is a functional liquid in the vehicle's braking system that transmits pressure to enable the braking action on the wheel's braking system. Brake fluid does not undergo chemical reactions, is unaffected by high temperatures, and does not corrode, soften, or expand metal and rubber components. The consequences of not changing brake fluid for an extended period include reduced braking force, the formation of vapor lock in the brake lines affecting braking, corrosion of the brake lines, damage to internal valves in the anti-lock braking hydraulic assembly, and wear of the rubber cups and pistons in the brake master cylinder, leading to contamination of the brake fluid.

How many minutes does it take for the car's water temperature to rise?

It takes about ten minutes for the car's water temperature to rise. The reasons for high water temperature in a car include: 1. Impurities or foreign objects blocking the radiator, leading to poor water circulation and causing the temperature to rise; 2. Leakage in the radiator resulting in water shortage and high temperature. The normal water temperature of an engine should be maintained between 85 to 95 degrees Celsius. Excessive water temperature can cause poor engine heat dissipation, expansion of parts leading to reduced clearance between components, and on the other hand, high temperature reduces the viscosity of engine oil, leading to increased wear of parts. When the temperature gauge needle approaches the red zone or the temperature warning light comes on, it is necessary to pull over, turn off the engine, and check.

Where is the Engine Oil Filler Port Located?

The engine oil filler port is located on the left side of the engine, specifically on the engine's cylinder head as a yellow circular cap. The functions of engine oil include: 1. Reducing friction and high temperatures; 2. Minimizing gas leakage and preventing contamination from external pollutants; 3. Protecting against contact with water, air, acidic harmful gases, and engine components; 4. Buffering pressure surges in the engine cylinders; 5. Cleaning contaminants from the surfaces of engine parts. To check the engine oil level: 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface; 2. After 10 minutes, pull out the oil dipstick; 3. Hold the dipstick vertically to the ground to inspect the oil level.

Does a Car Consume More Fuel When Started but Not Driven?

Starting a car without driving it does not consume much fuel. Here are the specific reasons for high fuel consumption in cars: 1. Affected by temperature: Fuel consumption fluctuates, and in winter when temperatures are low, fuel consumption increases slightly. 2. Long-term lack of maintenance: Dirty engine oil and air filters can also lead to increased fuel consumption. Dirty engine oil causes poor lubrication, increasing resistance in the engine's moving parts, which requires more energy to overcome, thus raising fuel consumption. 3. Insufficient tire pressure: Low tire pressure increases the contact area between the tires and the ground, increasing friction and driving resistance, which in turn raises fuel consumption. 4. Excessive carbon buildup in the vehicle: Carbon deposits commonly accumulate in the throttle body, fuel injectors, intake manifold, and piston tops. Excessive carbon buildup in any of these areas can lead to incomplete combustion, resulting in higher fuel consumption.

What are the steps for starting and stopping the automatic transmission of the Sylphy?

The steps for starting and stopping the automatic transmission of the Sylphy are: 1. Insert the key and turn it to the ON position to start the vehicle; 2. Press the brake, shift into drive gear, release the handbrake, and then release the foot brake to move the vehicle forward; 3. Before turning off the engine, straighten the steering wheel; 4. Turn off all electrical loads in the vehicle; 5. Press the brake, shift into P gear, pull the handbrake, and turn the key to shut off the engine. Taking the 2021 manual Fengyue version Sylphy as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4631mm, width 1760mm, height 1503mm, wheelbase 2700mm, fuel tank capacity 50L, and trunk capacity 510L.
