As a long-time car enthusiast, I find it quite a pity that the Roewe iMax8 has been discontinued. This MPV was decent in terms of space and exterior design, but its sales never took off, with the Buick GL8 and Toyota Sienna dominating most of the market share. Think about it—today's auto market is fiercely competitive, with high costs for fuel-powered vehicles and the rise of electric vehicles pushing everyone toward new energy models. SAIC probably felt the return on investment wasn't worth it, so discontinuing it frees up resources to focus on new models like hybrids or pure EVs. Additionally, the upgrade to the China VI-B emission standards made it harder for older fuel-powered models to comply, further contributing to the decision to halt production. I’d also advise buyers to pay attention to a brand’s market presence when choosing a car to avoid difficulties in after-sales service and parts availability. Niche models like the iMax8 depreciate quickly in the used car market, making maintenance costs less economical. The market changes so fast—it’s safer to follow the trends.

What to Do When the Battery Fails to Start the Car?

Solutions for a dead battery preventing engine start: 1. For manual transmission vehicles, you can push-start the car in gear or charge the battery. For automatic transmission vehicles, you can only charge the battery or use jumper cables to connect to another vehicle for external power supply and ignition to start the car; 2. The battery can be removed and charged at a repair facility, or you can use a specialized small transformer to adjust the voltage for nearby charging. A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, what people refer to as a battery is a lead-acid battery, which is mainly made of lead and its oxides, with a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte.

Does the throttle need computer matching after cleaning?

The throttle needs computer matching after cleaning. The throttle is a controllable valve that regulates the air entering the engine. After the air enters the intake pipe, it mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to generate power. The throttle is connected to the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom, and is referred to as the throat of the car engine. The responsiveness of the car's acceleration is closely related to the cleanliness of the throttle. Cleaning the throttle can reduce fuel consumption and make the engine more responsive and powerful. The throttle is mainly composed of the following parts: throttle valve, electromagnetic actuator, potentiometer, controller, and bypass valve. Throttle faults can be categorized into two types: hard faults and soft faults.

What Beginners Must Know About Taking the Driver's License Test

For the beginner's driver's license test, you need to prepare for four exams: Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3, and Subject 4. Below is an introduction to the preparation materials for the driver's license test: 1. Subject 1 Notes: For the Subject 1 exam, it is essential to download an app, with 'Driving School YDT' being highly recommended. Be meticulous, read the questions carefully multiple times to avoid pitfalls, and practice with numerous mock tests to estimate your exam score. 2. Subject 2 Notes: The Subject 2 exam consists of five items: reverse parking, parallel parking, slope driving, curve driving, and right-angle turns. Among these, reverse parking is the most challenging, while right-angle turns and curve driving are the simplest. Typically, allocate one week to practice reverse parking, another week for the other items, and the final week for combined practice of all items. Subject 2 requires attention to many details, primarily mastering the 30-centimeter practice, which makes other items relatively easier. Ensure accurate observation of reference points; clarity on these points is crucial to avoid mistakes during the exam. 3. Subject 3 Notes: Memorize the test route map, anticipate potential scenarios at the test site, and make pre-judgments. Before the exam, sketch the test site map, noting intersections, where to pull over, and straight-line driving, mentally preparing for appropriate reactions during the test. 4. Subject 4 Notes: The Subject 4 exam shares similar preparation tips with Subject 1, and again, the 'Driving School YDT' app is recommended to ensure a straightforward and passable experience.

Can You Drive Normally with a Tire Pressure of 190?

Tire pressure of 190 kPa is not safe for driving. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the recommended tire pressure is 240-250 kPa for standard tires and 280-390 kPa for reinforced tires. The maximum tire pressure should not exceed 350 kPa. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Heavy steering and tendency to veer, which are factors detrimental to driving safety; Increased movement of tire components, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; Reduced functionality of the cord and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction between the tire and rim, causing damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; Exponentially increased friction between the tire and ground, rapid rise in tire temperature, softening of the tire, and a sharp decline in strength. High-speed driving may result in a blowout; Increased deformation of the tire body, prone to sidewall cracks, and flexing movements that cause excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layer, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area, accelerating shoulder wear. Solutions for insufficient tire pressure: If no damage is visible, inflate the tire to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure monitoring system; If a puncture is found during inspection, drive to a tire shop promptly for repair and reinflation; If the tire pressure warning reappears after inflation without any puncture, it may be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel rim. It is recommended to inspect and replace the wheel rim.
