Myths About Cars Tires
Many people do not understand the intricacies of treating vehicle tires . But theres also that little smartass . Therefore beredarlah myriad myths about tires .The danger , if the public believed the myth , then it will create thousands of lives in danger . So , lest we mistakenly overwrite .Here we describe a number of myths about tires and their truth or falsity of the myth :
Tire pressure needs to be reduced when it rains : Not true .
Expected to obtain optimal traction , not a few people think to reduce the tire pressure of ideal conditions when it rains . In fact , this action would make tire treads be perfect stride to the road surface .
By the middle of the curve due to reduced pressure , the tire will be difficult to dispose of water into the side . As a result, the symptoms became easy aquaplaning occurs when the car struck a puddle of water . Moreover, the rain makes the temperature of the tires to cool . This condition makes the air pressure could drop to 1 psi .Ideally , of course the tire pressure should be kept well within the manufacturers recommendations . Thus , optimum traction will be in a variety of weather and road conditions .
The ability on the wet track depends on the type of tires grooves : Not entirely true.
When the tire rotates , the water flow will indeed affect the effectiveness of tire throwing water to the sides . But at the moment until the tire lock braking suddenly , the groove has no effect .
Here it is the tire compound to take the role . Therefore , no matter how well the plot , if komponnya hard , the tire may be harmful in slippery road .
The Higher tires pressure , the more easily broken : Not true.
Tire construction is made such that the resistant up to a pressure of 40 psi . On the contrary , the pressure that is too low can make the tires become more vulnerable to rupture , because the circumstances that make the work of the tire walls more flexible and allows the wire to break up the sidewall and cause tire burst .
The Wider of grooves, the better tires grip : Not true.
The wider the water flow means the less rubber stuck to the road . It would be very detrimental in the current dry conditions . And most of the time we walked to the car is when dry .
The more expensive the tire , the better the performance : In many cases , it is true.
Expensive tires in the same size and class , not without reason . It is a costly compensation of the research conducted by the manufacturer .
Based on tire testing conducted several independent agencies in the U.S. , high-priced tires tend to grip better , has lower noise , longer endurance , as well as obstacles in the lower spin .
The thinner the tire , the more easily broken : Not necessarily.
When in normal use on the road smooth , thin profile tires can actually extend shelf life . This is because a high grip tread tires so infrequently shifted to the asphalt .But if the tires hit the road frequently damaged , thin profile tires will accelerate the damage to the tires , or even wheels .
Spooring Worn-out tire : True.
In fact this is one of the toughest factors that affect tire wear . Spooring are not really going to make a tire run out quickly and unevenly .Therefore, it is recommended you do spooring every 10,000 miles or when there are other symptoms that felt like throwing the steering wheel in one direction or tire squeal when turning broken .
Dirty more easily deflated tire : True.
When dry roads , dust or mud may just be outside tire . But once it rains, the water will make it easier to infiltrate into the dirt between the tire and rim . It can cause a flat tire slowly .

BMW Release Smart Charging Application for Electric Cars
With increasing smartphone users, application penetration becomes effective tool for service providers and sellers of products lately. So no wonder all the big companies trying to create an application to assist customers and facilitate the service. Matter of marketing, the marketing team behind the luxury car manufacturer BMW has done a pretty good job in the campaign of "ultimate driving machine" for decades. And it seems that BMW does not intend to cut consumer wish lists in the near future. In the list, not only about the gasoline in supporting high performance engine, but BMW also gives the option of green technology behind the steel frame, as found in the BMW i3.BMW has just rolled out a new application that allows the Smart Charging motorists BMW i in order to identify the levels and the best time to charge their electric vehicles at home automatically. Later, as a whole, can help lower the cost of ownership in long-term users.Application specifically developed by the BMW Group is currently available for two platforms, Android and iOS. Bring, Smart Charging expected applications will be integrated with the BMW Remote app BMW i, so that the driver can obtain vehicle information through their smartphones. BMW claims that this application can help you save on electricity bills up to $ 400 per year, if used in optimal condition. By doing so, this application makes the BMW became the first automotive manufacturer in the industry that provides automated and integrated functionality.Currently still in the early stages of rollout, so intelligent charging applications ala BMW is only available in the BMW Electronauts. Electronauts is a group of electric vehicle enthusiasts BMW ActiveE lease under the German automotive manufacturing test. And many of those who happened to be the first few people in the U.S. who drive around in a BMW i3. We may not know how far the application can affect the users, because not many people who can enjoy the luxury vehicles.Wednesday, February 11, 2015
Use Good Window Film but Cars Interior Still Hot Why
Often consumers questioned the car window film window film have been installed properly but still in the car still feels hot. Though they may have to spend up to hundred dollars to buy good car window film, or a class instance. When the car (which is already coated glass window film it) dried in the sun, when it should get into the car, the condition inside feels cool. But the reality is not as sweet as their shadows.
Well as a car owner, you need to know a few things why after installing window film car (most good once), heat repellent not really able to withstand the hot temperatures get into the car. Here are some causes:
There are three Causes Why It Still Car Interior Heat After Install Window Film
1. Car colors
Black car color is clear and there is no doubt the most colors absorb heat, so it will automatically feel much hotter than the light-colored car like that are trendy white color or silver color trend is over.
2. Comparison of Surface Car with Glass Surface
After the installation of window film, which is protected from the scorching rays of the sun UV and infra red glass is just part only. When dried in the heat of broad daylight, probably only about 20-40% are protected from a total of 100% the entire surface of the car. This means that there are more areas that are not protected than unprotected areas. In areas that are not protected, solar radiation will continue to go without some resistance. Unlike the field of glass that has been coated window film, there will be a majority of the reflected solar radiation so that the heat does not go all the way into.
3. Laws of Physics: Energy Transfer Heat
At the time of sweltering afternoon, the car will have 3 types of heat sources:
1. Radiation
Effects of electromagnetic radiation of the sun just as it happened in the house where the temperature in the house got hotter the longer will. To inhibit the effects of this radiation, solar radiation reflectors needed. Commonly used in homes is aluminum foil, while on the surface of the windshield using a window film with a fairly high heat repellent. However, on the surface of the car paint which is the most extensive areas, not the heat repellent coated layer of infrared radiation of the sun, so the sun will be free to penetrate more than 60% of the surface of the car and slowly but surely, will heat up the temperature in the cabin of the car. In my opinion, this is the most effect makes the cabin temperature to be hot during the day. In fact once the sun sets, the effect of heat because the sun was very much reduced.
2. Conduction / Diffusion
Conduction is heat that goes for the heated object. For example, when a metal spoon dipped in a glass of hot water. The heat of the water will dissipate heat propagates to the end of a spoon. In the car, the entire surface is made of metal which is a good conductor of heat, then the temperature will rise quickly so that there will be translucent or heat delivered into the cabin of the car. It can not be avoided unless the surface of the car and the car cabin is made of vacuum or coated layer that inhibits the mediation of heat due to conduction.
Auto glass that has been coated window film car was actually still dissipates heat from conduction effects, for example when the sun during the day and sunburnt, windshield glass that has been coated with a nice movie most will still feel hot to the touch from inside the car. That means there is still heat that goes into the car and because of the effects of conduction.
3. Convection
Convection is the hot air that moves from a higher temperature to a lower temperature in the end will be the same temperature and stabilized or reached equilibrium. Examples are bread oven or grill whichever way it works is the heat element that is blown by the fan continues to spin resulting heat to heat the entire dough bread. So also in the car cabin, on a sweltering afternoon and the weather was hot, the heat will be trying to get into the car cabin temperature lower the temperature on the outside, so that the temperature in the cabin had come up. An example is if the air conditioning suddenly turned off, the temperature in the cabin which had been cold will quickly rise with the temperature of the air outside and coupled with the effects of conduction and radiation. No wonder if the temperature in the cabin can far exceed air temperature outside.
Exposure above may help you understand that installing window film is not a cure to cope with instant heat inside the car cabin. Installing window film is good once it is no guarantee of getting a cool car cabin temperature after drying in the sun. But at least partially reflect the effects of the heat generated by solar radiation, so the sun is not directly felt very hot compared to the glass layer without using a good movie.
So What The Benefits Plugging Car Window Film?
Its main benefit is if the use of window film, when the air conditioner is turned on, it will cool faster than the temperature inside the cabin without the use of window film at all. In addition, quality window film, which has a standard UV repellent up to 99%. It means we are not going to sit in front of the "burnt" hands like after sunbathing on the beach, and the women do not have to worry about her so black and striped.
Furthermore, just choose the brand, color, darkness level figures, numbers and possibly the level of heat repellent glass film technology to suit the car and your budget. To be sure more and more players window film on the market, the more precisely we as a choice for the end user. I personally, I would not choose the most famous brand with the exorbitant price, but choose the best value for money.

Cause of Not Functioning Cars Remote Key
Cars remote key sometimes do not work even if the battery is still good . The problem generally arises when the vehicle is in a location that has such a strong electromagnetic field around the radio station or television .Technically , the remote is not necessarily the same vehicle with the frequency emitted by a radio or television station . But keep in mind that radio waves have a frequency harmonics .Frequency of wild is a multiple of the frequency generated by the primary frequency . Remote vehicle would be problematic if the harmonic frequency of the transmitter accidentally fall on the same frequency .Because the transmitting station has a great power to be able to emit its broadcast , it will automatically force generated harmonic frequencies are also strong enough to cause interference .The only solution is to keep the vehicle from a radio transmitter in order to reduce the harmonic wave interference .the Jaguar and Land Rover owners often complain about the non-functioning keyless entry feature by a very trivial problem . Usually remote ( keyfob ) bagged in a position stacked with other electronic devices such as cell phones .Mobile phones also emit radio signals at certain frequencies that are potentially interfering signals emitted by the remote . Therefore, he suggested to the owners of vehicles with features remote keyless entry for bagging it separately and not combined with equipment that emits electronic waves .Friday, January 16, 2015

5 Tips Take Care Cars Interior
The car has two complementary parts, namely the interior and exterior. Both must be maintained properly to reflect the car well maintained.
Sometimes car owners often forget about the condition of the interior of the car and would rather take care of the outside only. Though the inside of the car is also very worth noting, treated and cleaned.
With a clean and fragrant circumstances will emit a comfortable atmosphere for you in the driving. Its her tips for caring for a simple car interior without having to bring to the workshop.
1. Clean the dashboard
Car dashboard is the most visible side when getting into the car. Dahsboard also subjected to sunlight due to its position in front.
To keep it clean, you can use a feather duster or brush handy to get rid of the dust. Clean up into the corners and around the dashboard AC hole so that no dust is still attached.
You can also clean the surface of the dashboard with a special cleaning fluid. After cleaning do not forget to immediately wipe back so as not to leave stains.
2. Choose easy to clean carpet
Carpet car became part dirty easily. The reason this becomes part of footwear each passenger car. You do not know what dirt that sticks to your footwear as well as people who ride in your car.
To anticipate that the car is easy to clean choose carpet made of synthetic rubber material. So when you want to clean the impurities such as sand, soil, until the stain on the carpet stay car wash them with soap and dried.
Never choose carpet car from fabric, because it takes a long time to be cleaned and needs to be brought into the salon car when there is a stain or dirt.
3. Use air freshener
You also need to deploy car scent to remain comfortably taken driving. If the musty smell and odor enveloped the contents of the car easily distract you while driving.
You can choose a car air freshener that fits your personality. We have had a lot to offer the kinds of scents car air freshener with various forms. There can be hung, taped to the dashboard until it was sold in the form of spray.
4. Use a wet cloth to clean car ceiling
Part of the ceiling is also often forgotten car to be executed when cleaning the interior of the car. Though the upper part of the car tends to keep the dust.
Well, how to clean a car ceiling should use a cloth that has been moistened with water and special soap. Try not to get too wet wipes, because the ceiling will make the car become damp and cause odor.
After that just finish with a dry cloth to seep residual moisture and dirt still attached.
5. Caring car seat
It could be said that the occupants of the cars interior is fairly complex care needs. But, you do not need to bother bringing the car to the salon to clean it.
Practical way to clean the car seat is with a dry cloth, unused toothbrush, a special vacuum cleaner vehicles and car upholstery cleaning fluid.
The first step can be started by rubbing all the seats with a dry cloth. For parts that are not affordable clean it with a vacuum cleaner that had been prepared earlier.
Then to clean the stains and dust off the car seat use liquid cleaners. Do not pour the liquid all at once, but little by little pour.
New brush slowly until the stain is gone. After all look clean, wash immediately with a dry cloth. Try to park the car in the shade and not exposed to the heat of the sun in order to protect the car seat from damage and moisture.
