For the most effortless uphill driving, you should select a gear with a ratio of 3:7. Below are the specific functions of gears: 1. Altering speed or torque: There are numerous gears in the transmission and drivetrain. Transmission gears serve to change speed and torque, while the main reduction gear in the differential functions to reduce speed and increase torque. 2. Power transmission: Gears play a role in power transfer. Many four-wheel-drive vehicles have multiple gears in the transfer case that facilitate power transmission. The main reduction gear in the differential also serves this purpose. Many gears transmit power through meshing with each other. Gears in the steering system also function in power transmission. 3. Achieving gear ratios: Different gear combinations in the transmission create various gear ratios, enabling the vehicle to adapt to diverse driving conditions.

What Causes the Steering Wheel to Be Misaligned?

The reasons for a misaligned steering wheel include uneven tire pressure on both sides, unequal caster angles, and improper toe-in. Below are detailed explanations: Uneven Tire Pressure: Uneven tire pressure on the left and right sides can cause the tires to have different heights, resulting in one side of the vehicle being higher than the other, leading to steering drift. It is necessary to check the tire pressure on both sides and adjust it regularly. Unequal Caster Angles: In the longitudinal vertical plane, the angle between the kingpin axis and the vertical line is called the caster angle. If the angles of the wheels on both sides differ, it can cause the steering wheel to be misaligned. Improper Toe-In: Improper toe-in can cause the vehicle to drift and lead to abnormal tire wear. It is recommended to visit a repair facility for a four-wheel alignment.

Why is the braking sound harsh?

Harsh braking sounds may be caused by worn brake pads, foreign objects in the brake pads, or the break-in period of newly replaced brake pads. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Worn brake pads: When a car has been used for many years or has high mileage, the brake pads may age and wear out, leading to abnormal noises. In this case, the brake pads should be replaced at a 4S shop. 2. Foreign objects in the brake pads: If the car has driven through muddy or bumpy roads, small stones or other debris may get stuck in the brake pads, causing friction and abnormal noises. This situation only requires cleaning the brake pads. 3. Break-in period of newly replaced brake pads: When new brake pads are installed, there might be some noise initially. This usually resolves after driving for a while to allow the pads to break in. If the noise persists after some time, it is advisable to visit a 4S shop or repair shop for professional inspection.
