There is a locking lever under the driver's steering wheel. Pull the locking lever upward, adjust it to the appropriate height, and then firmly press the locking lever to lock the steering wheel. Below is some additional information: 1. The earliest cars used a tiller for steering. This transmitted severe vibrations generated during driving to the driver, making it difficult to control the direction. After the engine was relocated to the front of the vehicle, the increased weight made it impossible for the driver to steer using the tiller. The new design of the steering wheel emerged to address this issue. It introduced a gear system between the driver and the wheels, offering flexible operation and effectively isolating severe vibrations from the road. 2. The steering wheel is connected to the steering shaft via splines. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. Using a larger-diameter steering wheel reduces the hand force required by the driver when turning. The steering intermediate shaft serves as a connector between the steering gear and the steering shaft, facilitating the standardization of the steering gear. It compensates for errors during manufacturing and installation, making the installation of the steering gear and steering wheel more reasonable in the vehicle.

Is Trumpchi a Domestic or Joint Venture Brand?

Trumpchi is a domestic car brand, independently developed by GAC, but at least 40% of its components come from renowned international parts suppliers. Introduction to Joint Venture Cars: As the name suggests, joint venture cars are projects jointly established by Chinese and foreign investors. The Chinese side contributes by providing land and factory usage rights, as well as capital, while the foreign investors contribute the brand, technology, capital, talent, etc. Joint venture cars are the products of such collaborations. Foreign partners provide technology, talent, and brands for domestic assembly, but the core technologies remain under foreign control. Reasons Why Joint Venture Cars Are Expensive: Joint venture cars are expensive due to intellectual property issues. The cooperation between Chinese and foreign automakers is characterized by low interdependence. Generally, Chinese manufacturers learn more about assembly techniques, corporate culture, and internal management from foreign automakers, but the core technologies of car engines and transmissions, which are crucial to understand, are often imported from abroad. The technologies sold to China are typically 10 to 20 years behind.

What is the purpose of registering a new car under a 4S dealership first and then transferring ownership?

4S dealership sales personnel use pre-purchase discounts to guide customers into registering vehicles under the dealership's name, then charge service fees during the subsequent ownership transfer process. Therefore, registering a car under a 4S dealership is unreliable, and without contractual agreements, it is not recommended to transfer vehicle ownership to a 4S dealership. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Significant risks: Registering a car under a 4S dealership and then transferring ownership carries substantial risks. Before the vehicle is officially transferred to your name, there are too many uncertain factors involved. Additionally, transferring ownership after registration with a 4S dealership requires paying additional transfer fees. 2. Vehicle ownership transfer: Vehicle ownership transfer involves changing the name of the original owner and is an indispensable process in vehicle transactions between buyers and sellers. Failure to transfer ownership can have certain impacts on both parties. According to traffic regulations, the new owner of a motor vehicle must apply for a transfer registration with the local vehicle management office within 30 days from the date of vehicle delivery.

Where is the cabin air filter located in a 2012 Focus?

The cabin air filter in a 2012 Focus is located to the right of the accelerator pedal. Here's an introduction to the functions of the cabin air filter: 1. It ensures the filter fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin. 2. It separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air. 3. It adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., from the air, with strong and long-lasting moisture adsorption. 4. It prevents car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility for drivers and passengers and safe driving; it provides fresh air to the cabin, preventing occupants from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety; it effectively sterilizes and deodorizes. 5. It maintains clean cabin air, preventing bacterial growth and creating a healthy environment; it effectively separates solid impurities like dust, filter powder, and abrasive particles from the air; it effectively intercepts pollen, ensuring no allergic reactions that could affect driving safety.

Why was the Dongfeng Fengxing Jingyi X5 discontinued?

Dongfeng Fengxing Jingyi X5 has not been discontinued, but its sales are poor. The reasons for the poor sales of Dongfeng Fengxing Jingyi X5 are as follows: High number of complaints about Dongfeng Fengxing Jingyi X5: According to data from the car quality network, the number of complaints about faults in the older model of Jingyi X5 is relatively high. The faults are mainly concentrated in unstable engine idle speed, engine noise, brake system noise, and transmission noise. Noise accounts for a large proportion of the faults. Although noise may seem like a minor issue, it is indeed very troublesome for the daily use of many car owners. Weak power of Dongfeng Fengxing Jingyi X5: Mitsubishi engines are widely used in low-priced domestic car models. Although their important contribution to the development of China's automotive industry cannot be denied, from the perspective of today's industry development, Mitsubishi engines undoubtedly cannot keep up with the pace of development. According to user reviews, the Jingyi X5 has problems such as sluggish acceleration and noise.

Where is Li Auto's production base located?

Li Auto ONE is produced at Li Auto's Changzhou manufacturing base. The Li Auto Changzhou manufacturing plant was completed in 2019, covering a total area of 750 acres. It is a high-standard, modern intelligent factory. Definition of Li Auto: The Li ONE is an extended-range electric vehicle. According to the definition of an extended-range electric vehicle, it operates with zero emissions when driving short distances on pure electric power. When the battery level drops below a set threshold, a 1.2T engine starts to generate electricity to power the vehicle. Vehicle range: The Li ONE's battery pack has a capacity of 40.5 kWh, with 37.2 kWh usable. When fully charged, the extended-range exceeds 520 km, and the comprehensive range under standard driving conditions can reach 700 km, with urban driving conditions exceeding 1,000 km. The extended-range electric technology of the ONE ensures the engine operates continuously in an efficient state to generate electricity, constantly charging the relatively small battery pack. Therefore, its pure electric range is 180 km, and with the engine's extended-range, the NEDC comprehensive range exceeds 700 km.

What Are the Reasons for Frequent Blowing of Automotive Fuses?

Automotive fuses frequently blow mainly due to short circuits in the car or excessive current causing overheating of the wires. Here is a related introduction to automotive fuses: 1. Fuses can be divided into two types: Tube fuses and wire fuses, with wire fuses being more common. Charging fuses and ignition switch power fuses can handle large currents of 100–200A, so it is absolutely not allowed to replace them with fuses of a larger capacity than specified. When a fuse blows, the cause must be carefully investigated, and the fault must be completely eliminated. 2. The function of fuses: Fuses are used to protect local circuits. The commonly used fuses in automobiles can be divided into tubular and blade types based on their shape. Fuses can withstand a long-term rated current load. Under a 25% overload, they will blow in about 3 minutes; under a 100% overload, they will blow in less than 1 second.
