Methods to adjust a slightly misaligned steering wheel: 1. First, prepare a wrench, then turn the vehicle's steering wheel fully to the right to expose the rear of the left front wheel. 2. Use the wrench to loosen the fastening nut, then rotate the left tie rod clockwise. 3. Clockwise rotation refers to the position of the tie rod relative to the tie rod base; rotating the left tie rod in means shortening it. 4. Repeat the previous steps by turning the steering wheel fully to the left to expose the rear of the right front wheel, then rotate the right tie rod counterclockwise following the above steps. 5. If the left tie rod is rotated in by one turn, the right tie rod must also be rotated out by one turn to ensure equal adjustment on both sides.

Do Sedans Have a Radiator and Need Water Added?

Sedans do have a radiator and may require water addition. Generally, water is added to the car when the antifreeze is insufficient. Precautions for adding water to a new car are as follows: 1. Do not use ordinary water as a substitute for antifreeze; 2. Avoid mixing antifreeze of different colors and specifications; 3. When using antifreeze from different brands, try to completely drain the original antifreeze from the cooling system; 4. Regardless of high or low temperatures, antifreeze should be used for the efficiency and longevity of the cooling system; 5. Tap water contains many substances that can easily cause rust and scale buildup. Antifreeze, on the other hand, can lower temperatures, control heat, and is less prone to deterioration and chemical reactions.

What is emergency braking?

Emergency braking refers to the situation when a driver quickly and correctly applies the brakes to stop the vehicle in the shortest possible distance during an emergency while driving. The function of braking is to reduce speed or bring the vehicle to a halt. Its working principle is: by utilizing the friction between the brake pads and brake drums, as well as between the tires and the ground, the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle is converted into heat energy through friction, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle. The maintenance methods for brakes include: 1. High-temperature protection; 2. Cleaning oil stains, dirt, and friction dust from the brake discs, brake drums, and any components to ensure good heat dissipation of the brake discs; 3. Regularly replacing brake fluid; 4. Periodically checking the thickness of brake pads or brake shoes.

What are the reasons for the idle speed not increasing after turning on the air conditioning?

The reasons for the idle speed not increasing after turning on the air conditioning are: 1. Poor spark plug performance; 2. Vacuum tube leakage; 3. High-voltage wire leakage; 4. PCV valve blockage; 5. Throttle position sensor failure; 6. Idle stepper motor failure; 7. Idle control valve malfunction; 8. Abnormal throttle opening; 9. Intake system leakage. The functions of the air conditioning system: 1. Achieve cooling effect through the continuous phase change cycle of the refrigerant; 2. Remove dust, odors, smoke, and toxic gases from the air inside the car, making the air fresher, and humidify the air inside the car to increase the relative humidity of the air inside the car.

Is It Normal for Brake Pads to Produce a Lot of Black Dust?

Generally speaking, it is normal for brake pads to produce black dust, as this is a sign of normal wear and tear on the brake pads. Here are detailed information about brake pads: 1. Materials of Brake Pads: There are six types of brake pads: asbestos, semi-metallic, low-metallic, ceramic, ceramic formula, and high-carbon formula. 2. Pros and Cons of Brake Pad Materials: Asbestos has good heat resistance but is classified as a hazardous material harmful to health and has now been replaced. Semi-metallic pads have good heat dissipation but produce more noise. Low-metallic pads reduce noise while improving vehicle stability. Ceramic materials provide smooth and comfortable braking, with good wear resistance and no dust.
