Turn on the vehicle, start and shift gears, then wait for 3 seconds. Turn the steering wheel to the full lock, wait for 3 seconds, then return it to the center and turn off the engine. The steering wheel will become lighter when driving again. Steering assistance is mainly divided into hydraulic power steering and electric power steering.

I've been driving my X-Trail for over a decade and always troubleshoot steering wheel stiffness myself. First, check tire pressure - measure when cold, the standard values are posted on the driver's door frame. For X-Trail, it's usually 2.3 bar front and 2.1 bar rear. If too soft, inflate properly - this can save significant effort. Then inspect the power steering system. Older X-Trails use hydraulic power steering - pop the hood to check reservoir fluid level and top up if low. Newer models use electric EPS which requires computer adjustment at the dealership. Never compromise safety - heavy steering increases accident risk. Last time I missed a failing power steering pump and nearly had an accident. During routine maintenance, pay extra attention to steering components like checking dust boots annually for damage. If you're not mechanically inclined, consult a professional technician. Start with simple checks - it's not complicated.

How to Determine the Year of a Vehicle by Its VIN?

Method to determine the year of a vehicle by its VIN: The tenth digit of the VIN represents the year.

How to judge distance with car reversing camera?

The method to judge distance using a car reversing camera is: 1. Red line: indicates the warning line, which is 30cm from the rear of the car. When the car reaches near this line, the parking space is just right and no further reversing should be done; 2. Yellow line: indicates the deceleration line, which is 60cm from the rear of the car. You can continue to reverse but should slow down and check the distance; 3. Green line: indicates the normal safety line, meaning there is still ample distance between obstacles and the rear of the car, so the driver can reverse with confidence. When the vehicle is shifted into reverse gear, the reversing camera system will automatically activate the camera at the rear, displaying the situation behind the car on the central control or rearview mirror's LCD screen. At this time, a border area will appear on the screen, and the lines forming this area are the auxiliary trajectory lines of the reversing camera, reminding the driver to adjust the direction in time.
