When the steering wheel is turned 45 degrees, the wheels turn 3 degrees. Functions of the steering wheel: Generally connected to the steering shaft via splines, its function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the steering wheel rim into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. Using a larger-diameter steering wheel allows the driver to apply less hand force when turning. The steering intermediate shaft serves as a connecting component between the steering gear and the steering shaft, facilitating the standardization of steering gears, compensating for errors during manufacturing and installation, and ensuring more rational installation of the steering gear and steering wheel in the vehicle. Relationship between the steering wheel and the wheels: The steering wheel adjusts the rotation angle of the tires through the steering gear. When the steering wheel turns right, the wheels turn right. When the steering wheel turns left, the wheels turn left. The steering wheel is connected to the steering column, and the end of the steering column is linked to the steering gear. Inside the steering gear is a rack-and-pinion mechanism that converts the rotational motion from the steering wheel into linear motion, pushing or pulling the wheels to rotate a certain angle.

Are temporary license plates of Beijing vehicles subject to traffic restrictions?

Beijing temporary license plates are subject to traffic restrictions. Temporary license plates are treated the same as regular license plates when it comes to traffic restrictions. Simply put, temporary plates are not special passes. Below are the traffic restriction details for temporary license plates in Beijing: 1. Weekday restrictions: On weekdays (excluding public holidays) from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM, vehicles with temporary license plates are prohibited from driving within the Fifth Ring Road (excluding the road itself). 2. Letters treated as 0: For vehicles with license plates ending with letters, they are managed as if the last digit were 0. 3. Restrictions based on last digit: Vehicles with temporary license plates are subject to restrictions based on the last digit of the temporary plate. 4. Pure electric passenger cars exempt: Pure electric passenger cars (excluding hybrid vehicles) are not subject to peak-hour traffic restrictions on weekdays.

Which tire has a higher load capacity, LT or C?

LT tires and C tires are both light truck tires, with LT being the American designation and C being the European designation. In terms of load capacity, LT tires and C tires are similar, but relatively speaking, LT tires have a slightly higher load-bearing capacity. Below is more information about car tires: 1. Tire function: To reduce and absorb vibrations and impacts during driving, preventing damage to vehicle components caused by severe shocks. 2. Meaning of tire graphic markings: A small umbrella symbol on the tire sidewall indicates that the tire is suitable for driving in rainy or slippery conditions. 3. Numerical meanings: Tire data represents the tire section width, aspect ratio, and wheel diameter in inches. For example, a tire with the specification 225/65/R17 has a section width of 225, an aspect ratio of 65, a radial structure (R), and a wheel diameter of 17 inches.

What to Do When the Car Power Saver Activates?

The car's power saver is activated to prevent battery drain. After the power saver activates, starting the engine and driving the vehicle for a while will restore normal operation. Below is more information about the power saver: 1. Introduction: The power saver can improve the power supply quality of high-voltage grids, significantly reduce line losses, and the copper and iron losses of power equipment. During use, it not only saves electrical energy but also greatly reduces equipment operating costs. 2. Motor Power Saver: Its core technology is to dynamically track changes in motor load, adjusting the voltage and current during motor operation. Without changing the motor speed, it ensures that the motor's output torque precisely matches the actual load demand. This not only guarantees the normal operation of the motor but also effectively avoids energy waste caused by excessive motor output, providing excellent dynamic power-saving effects.

How to Read the Fuel Gauge on Volkswagen Lavida?

Volkswagen Lavida's fuel gauge can be viewed in the center of the dashboard. The fan-shaped pattern below indicates the fuel level in the tank, ranging from empty to half to full from left to right. The fuel gauge displays the fuel level through a float connected to a metal rod inside the fuel tank, a principle similar to that of a toilet water tank. The end of the metal rod connected to the float is linked to a variable resistor via a movable contact point. The position of the float on the fuel surface in the tank changes, which in turn alters the position on the variable resistor via the metal rod. This variable resistor is connected to the car's fuel gauge, and the movement of the gauge's needle is controlled by the amount of current passing through the variable resistor. In terms of body dimensions, the Lavida measures 4600 mm in length, 1700 mm in width, and 1500 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610 mm.

Can Manual Transmission Vehicles Be Equipped with Cruise Control?

Manual transmission vehicles can be equipped with cruise control, but it is necessary to first conduct a computer test to determine whether the vehicle's computer version supports the installation of cruise control. Cruise control, also known as speed control system, functions by maintaining the vehicle speed as set by the driver without the need to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the vehicle to travel at a constant speed. With this device installed, drivers no longer need to manually control the speed during long-distance highway driving. The speed ranges corresponding to manual transmission gears are: 1st and 2nd gears correspond to speeds of 5 to 20 kilometers per hour; 2nd and 3rd gears correspond to speeds of 20 to 40 kilometers per hour; 3rd and 4th gears correspond to speeds of 40 to 60 kilometers per hour; and 4th and 5th gears correspond to speeds of 60 to 100 kilometers per hour.

How to Protect the Car Chassis?

Methods to protect the car chassis include: 1. Regular inspections. When maintaining the chassis, owners need to strictly follow the time regulations in the manual and regularly check and maintain it at a 4S shop or professional repair shop; 2. During daily driving, avoid rough and uneven roads and try to find flat and solid road surfaces to reduce damage to the car chassis; 3. Regular rust removal. After completing rust-proof treatment, do not use alkaline cleaning solutions to wash the chassis, as this can easily affect the rust-proof effect. The car chassis refers to the combination of the transmission system, running system, steering system, and braking system on the car. It supports and installs the car engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the car, bearing the engine power, and ensuring normal driving.
