Generally, turn the steering wheel one full rotation for a standard turn. Below is more information on steering wheel usage: Techniques for turning the steering wheel when making a turn: For tight turns at small intersections, which are more demanding, rotate the steering wheel one full turn. If this is insufficient, you can adjust by adding a bit more angle. For easier turns at larger intersections, start by turning the steering wheel half a rotation and adjust the angle as needed. Precautions for using the steering wheel: Drivers should never remove both hands from the steering wheel simultaneously. Ensure that the left and right hands are not placed too close together on the wheel. The degree and speed of steering wheel rotation should match the angle of the turn and the vehicle's speed. Avoid gripping the steering wheel from the inside. Do not turn the steering wheel when the car is stationary to prevent damage to the steering system and unnecessary tire wear.

Is a Wheel Alignment Necessary When Replacing All 4 Tires?

Here are the criteria to determine whether a wheel alignment is needed after replacing all 4 tires: 1. Tire wear: Check if the old tires showed signs of uneven wear or cupping before replacement. If so, a wheel alignment adjustment is required. 2. Vehicle pulling: Determine if the vehicle exhibited pulling to one side prior to tire replacement. If yes, a wheel alignment is necessary. 3. If neither of these conditions occurred, there's no need to adjust the wheel alignment after tire replacement. Wheel alignment procedure: Drive the vehicle onto specialized alignment equipment and secure the tires using dedicated instruments. Connect to the computer system to read wheel alignment data. If discrepancies are found, adjustments should be made accordingly.

What to Do When the Car Trunk Won't Open?

Solutions for when the car trunk lock won't open: Enter the car and fold down the rear seats. Open the trunk interior panel. Pull the unlocking lever manually with your hand to unlock it. Reasons why the trunk lock won't open include: 1. Issues with the linkage rod or lock cylinder. 2. Failure to use the remote key to unlock. 3. Mechanical component failure. Additional methods to open the trunk: 1. Key button: Press the trunk opening button on the car key for 3 seconds to open the trunk. 2. Driver's seat button: Some cars have a trunk opening button inside the driver's seat area; pressing it once will open the trunk. Some mid-to-high-end models feature a sensor switch—simply sweep your foot under the trunk to open it. 3. License plate light button: For this method, the car must be unlocked. There is a trunk opening button between the left and right license plate lights; press it to open the trunk.

What does tire air leakage mean?

Tire air leakage means that after a tire is punctured, the internal air pressure leaks into the tire's nylon cords and steel wire layers. Even after the inner side of the tire is repaired, the air pressure in the nylon cords seeps out from the punctured spot and disappears after a period of time. Tire lifespan: The wear lifespan of a tire is 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers. If the tire hasn't reached the wear limit or mileage but has been in use for 5 years or has developed numerous cracks on the sidewalls, it needs to be replaced. Functions of tires: Tires transmit driving force, braking force, and steering force to enable vehicle operation; they support the vehicle's load; and they reduce and absorb vibrations and impacts during driving, preventing severe vibrations from damaging automotive components.

What Causes Steering Wheel Vibration at Speeds Above 100?

Introduction to the causes of steering wheel vibration at speeds above 100: Poor tire dynamic balance: During driving, if a tire experiences a strong local impact, it may cause the balance weights to fall off or become damaged, thereby affecting the tire's dynamic balance. When driving at high speeds, the vehicle body and steering wheel will noticeably vibrate, with the vibration becoming more pronounced as speed increases. Significant differences in tire pressure among the four tires: When there is a large difference in tire pressure among the four tires, especially between the left and right tires, the vehicle body will experience noticeable bumps and the steering wheel will vibrate significantly during high-speed driving. Poor four-wheel alignment: When the four-wheel alignment has a large deviation angle, the vehicle body will drift and vibrate during high-speed driving. Additionally, this can lead to uneven tire wear, accelerate tire deterioration, and shorten the tire's service life.

What Causes High Engine RPM but No Increase in Speed When Pressing the Accelerator?

Introduction to the reasons why the car's speed does not increase while the engine RPM is high when pressing the accelerator: Using a manual transmission: The most common reasons are issues with the clutch and the transmission. The clutch acts as an intermediary for power transfer between the engine and the transmission. If the clutch friction plate is slipping, it can lead to a loss of power. Manual transmissions have high transfer efficiency. If the clutch is functioning properly, the possible faults could be related to the output shaft or the meshing gears of the selected gear. Using an automatic transmission: The most common reason is the torque converter not locking up. Normally, when the engine RPM, vehicle speed, and throttle depth reach certain levels, the torque converter locks up. Before this happens, it is common to experience a situation where pressing the accelerator results in high RPM but no increase in speed. This phenomenon mainly occurs in vehicles equipped with torque converters, such as all ATs and some CVTs. In this regard, dual-clutch transmissions perform much better.
