Tires can indeed be affected by prolonged uneven braking. There are multiple causes for uneven braking: inconsistent clearance between front wheel brake drums and friction pads, significant differences in contact surfaces of front wheel friction pads, varying quality of front wheel friction pads, excessive differences in inner diameters of front wheel brake drums, unequal return spring tension of front wheel brake shoes, excessive wear of piston and cylinder in certain front wheel cylinders, presence of air in certain front wheel cylinders, aging hoses, or defective wheel cylinder seals. Effects of prolonged uneven braking on tires: 1. Exceeding roundness limits or excessive thinness in certain front wheel brake drums. Inconsistent air pressure in front wheels. Oil contamination, water exposure, hardening, or exposed rivets on certain front wheel friction pads. Uneven wear of eccentric bushings on front wheel brake shoe pivot pins. 2. Bending, deformation, or loosening of friction material on certain front wheel brake shoes. Certain front wheel friction pads not properly bedded with brake drums or discs. Loose mounting brackets on certain brake calipers. Presence of similar faults in rear wheels. 3. Frame deformation, front axle misalignment, negative toe-in, unequal tension in front leaf springs, and loose ball joints in tie rods. Seized brake caliper pistons. Loose fasteners in suspension components. Failure of brake pressure proportioning valve. Worn or damaged wheel hub bearings. 4. The impact on tires manifests as abnormal wear patterns, including uneven wear. These conditions should be addressed promptly to prevent cascading effects.

What transmission does the Roewe RX5 use?

The transmission of the Roewe RX5 is a product of collaboration between SAIC, General Motors, and BorgWarner, and it is manufactured in China. The Roewe RX5 is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission and a 6-speed manual transmission. The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission features seven forward gears and utilizes a wet clutch. The wet dual-clutch transmission consists of two sets of multi-plate clutches (one large and one small) mounted coaxially within a sealed oil chamber filled with hydraulic fluid. This design offers better adjustability and higher heat resistance, enabling it to handle higher torque. When using the Roewe RX5's transmission in daily driving, pay attention to the following points: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for too long. Prolonged neglect can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for extended periods. While some experienced drivers may coast in neutral with manual transmissions, doing so in an automatic transmission can cause overheating and jerking when shifting back to Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers shift into reverse prematurely to showcase "smooth" driving, but this can severely damage the transmission gears, leading to issues like gear grinding over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D). Automatic transmissions may overheat under heavy load or shift too early, causing a lack of power. Use manual mode to lock in lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If the automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck and move the vehicle onto the tow platform while in Neutral (N). Avoid using tow ropes or direct towing with another vehicle.

How many people can a sedan accommodate?

A sedan can accommodate 5 people including the driver. Introduction to passenger capacity limits for sedans: A standard sedan can seat 5 people, as long as it does not exceed the approved passenger capacity. Different vehicle models have varying passenger capacities, so it's essential to check the approved passenger limit specified in the vehicle's documentation. According to Article 55, Clause 1 of the Road Traffic Safety Law Implementation Regulations, passenger vehicles on highways must not exceed the approved passenger capacity, excluding children who are exempt from tickets as per regulations. When the passenger capacity is full, the number of exempt children must not exceed 10% of the approved passenger capacity. Penalties for overloading: Most private cars have a passenger limit of 5 people. Carrying even one additional person constitutes a 20% overcapacity violation, which can result in severe penalties if not careful. Overloading by more than 20% results in a 6-point deduction on the driver's license and a fine.

Which country is the manufacturer of Jatco transmission?

Jatco transmission's largest manufacturer is in Japan. Introduction to Jatco transmission: Nissan's Jatco transmission can be said to be the best brand among CVTs, with the majority of CVTs on the market coming from Jatco. However, apart from Nissan itself, which dares to use steel belt chains on the 2.0T Altima, other brands use Jatco CVTs in low-end models, i.e., engines with torque not exceeding 250 Nm. Weaknesses of Jatco transmission: Like the jerkiness and overheating of dual-clutch transmissions, CVTs also have inherent weaknesses that are unavoidable. One is the inability to withstand high-torque engines, and the other is that after a few years of use, the CVT will inevitably experience steel belt slippage, occasionally leading to a loss of speed. If this happens, there's no need to panic—just drive to the nearest repair shop to replace the steel belt, which isn't too expensive.

Why is the driving license score 0?

A driving license score of 0 indicates there are no traffic violation records, which is a normal status. Driving license point deduction: If the driver's accumulated points in a scoring cycle do not reach 12 points and all fines have been paid, the points will be cleared. If the points do not reach 12 but there are unpaid fines, the points will carry over to the next scoring cycle. Driving license score deduction of 12 points: If a driver accumulates 12 points in a scoring cycle, their driving license will be confiscated by the vehicle management office. Within 15 days, they must report to the traffic management department of the public security authority at the license issuance location or the place of violation to undergo a seven-day study session on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. After completing the study, the driver must take an exam on these laws and regulations within 20 days. If they pass, the points will be cleared and the driving license returned. If they fail, they must continue studying and retaking the exam. Refusal to participate in the study or exam will result in the traffic management department announcing the suspension of the driving license.

How Long Does It Generally Take to Get a Driver's License?

Generally, the normal time to obtain a driver's license is between three to four months. Relevant information about the driver's license test is as follows: 1. Introduction: The driver's test is a qualification examination organized by the Vehicle Management Office of the Public Security Bureau. Only by passing the driver's test can one obtain a driver's license and legally drive motor vehicles. 2. Content: The test for motor vehicle drivers is divided into the following subjects: the subject of road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge (also known as the 'theory test', abbreviated as 'Subject 1'), the subject of field driving skills (commonly known as the 'pole test', abbreviated as 'Subject 2'), and the subject of road driving skills and safe, civilized driving knowledge (commonly known as the 'road test', abbreviated as 'Subject 3'). The test content and passing standards are uniformly set nationwide, with corresponding test items specified according to different types of vehicles eligible for driving.

Is Driving at 60 MPH Considered Slow?

This is relative. On a highway with a speed limit of 120, driving at 60 MPH is considered quite slow. However, it is a normal speed for regular driving. Below is a detailed introduction about vehicle speed: 1. Overview: Vehicle speed refers to the distance a vehicle travels per unit of time, commonly measured in kilometers per hour or meters per second. Vehicle speed is one of the three key parameters in traffic flow theory and holds significant importance in traffic flow studies. It can also broadly refer to the speed of motor vehicles. 2. Expansion: To suit different purposes, vehicle speed is mainly categorized into spot speed, segment speed, and design speed. The maximum speed refers to the highest speed a vehicle can achieve on a well-paved, level road under windless conditions, where driving resistance and driving force are balanced. It is one of the three evaluation indicators of a vehicle's dynamic performance.
