It will not corrode wheel hubs, but from the perspective of safe driving, the use of tire wax is not recommended because it corrodes tires. From the overall structure of the tire, the sidewall is the weakest part, which lacks the wear resistance and stress strength of the tread. Tire wax essentially relies on its chemical corrosion effect to remove a thin layer from the surface of the sidewall, making the tire look fresh and aesthetically pleasing. However, long-term use can thin and weaken the sidewall. Benefits of using tire wax: Maintain the blackness of car tires: Car owners can regularly apply tire wax to their vehicle's tires, as tire wax is a protective agent for tires. Tire wax has many benefits, such as maintaining the blackness of car tires, thereby helping to preserve the tires. Reduce UV damage: Tire wax can minimize the damage caused by ultraviolet rays, effectively preventing cracking, aging, and fading of car tires. Tire wax can also, to some extent, clean and maintain the tires.

What kind of oil should be used for the maintenance of the Lamando 230?

The Lamando 230 car recommends the use of 5W-30 fully synthetic engine oil, and 0W-30 fully synthetic engine oil can also be used, such as Mobil 1, Shell Helix, Castrol Edge, etc. These types of engine oils have excellent lubrication effects. The following is a brief introduction to the Lamando 230: 1. In terms of appearance, the Lamando has only some subtle changes compared to the concept version, and the design remains very sporty. The front face adopts a family-style design, with a three-bar grille connected to the headlights, and round fog lights on either side of the bumper. The side lines of the new car are very smooth, with a straight and deep waistline extending all the way to the rear of the car, leaving a very impressive impression. As for the rear, the lower part of the bumper features a two-tone design, with black color matching to highlight a sporty feel. 2. The 230 car is equipped with a 1.4T low-power turbocharged engine. Unlike a naturally aspirated engine, the turbocharged engine experiences greater wear and tear on internal components during operation, so it is recommended to use higher-performance engine oil to protect the engine.

Where is the first aid kit located in an Audi A4?

Audi A4's first aid kit is generally placed in the car's trunk. The onboard first aid kit mainly includes dressing supplies such as elastic head covers, buckle-type tourniquets, elastic bandages, etc., sterile dressings like gauze, bandages, disposable gloves, etc., and instrument tools such as first aid scissors, medical tweezers, safety pins, life whistles, etc. Here is an introduction to the items in the first aid kit: 1. Buckle-type tourniquet: Made of ABS plastic, the elastic band is made of high-grade polyester fiber and rubber bands. Its main function is to slow down and stop bleeding from wounds. In winter, it should be loosened for one to two minutes every half hour, and in summer, every hour. 2. Ice pack: It can physically reduce fever, relieve swelling and pain, preserve freshness in the wild, and stop bleeding with cold compress. 3. Vacuum extractor: Suitable for extracting venom from wounds caused by poisonous insects, snakes, etc. 4. Three-in-one safety hammer: Features three functions - pointed head for breaking, flat head for hammering, and seat belt cutter. Used for breaking glass in emergencies to escape. 5. Multi-function hand-crank flashlight: Functions include lighting, table lamp, radio, alarm, compass, etc. It can generate electricity by hand-cranking when there's no power and can also charge mobile phones. When hand-cranking, rotate at a speed of 120 revolutions per minute clockwise. Cranking for 1 minute allows the flashlight to be used for 20-30 minutes. 6. Folding entrenching shovel: Made of high-quality high-carbon steel, triple-folded, with functions such as shoveling, digging, pickaxing, and sawing. It can be used as camping equipment and is compact and easy to carry. 7. Tow strap: Generally used for temporary towing of faulty vehicles. 8. Jumper cables: Can solve the problem of a car's battery being depleted (with correct positive and negative connections). 9. Blanket: Provides insulation against heat and cold, prevents shock, used for moving injured people, wrapping around the body, and can also be used for reflective warning. 10. Tire pressure gauge: Used to measure the air pressure of car tires. 11. Reflective vest: A safety vest with reflective strips printed with photosensitive materials on the surface for warning purposes.

Where is the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor Installed?

Tire pressure monitoring sensors are installed either inside the tire or on the exterior of the valve stem. The tire pressure monitor is a simple tire pressure monitoring system that utilizes the sensing function of ABS to compare the number of rotations of the tires. A tire with insufficient pressure will have a shorter circumference, and if one of the four tires has insufficient pressure, its rotation count will differ from the others while driving. The tire pressure monitoring system automatically monitors various tire conditions in real-time by recording tire rotation speeds or through electronic sensors installed in the tires, providing effective safety assurance for driving. Tire pressure monitoring systems are categorized into: 1. Built-in sensors, which are more stable and provide more accurate temperature monitoring data; 2. External sensors, which are relatively cheaper and easier to install.
