What are the directions for loosening and tightening wheel bolts?

Most car wheel bolts are loosened and tightened based on clockwise and counterclockwise directions: 1. Counterclockwise direction is for loosening; 2. Clockwise direction is for tightening. Below are the considerations for bolt selection: 1. Use triangular threads: Car wheel bolts generally employ fine-pitch triangular threads, with bolt diameters ranging between 14~20mm and thread pitches of 1~2mm. In theory, this triangular thread design can self-lock. When the wheel bolt is tightened to the specified torque, the threads of the nut and bolt fit tightly together, creating significant friction that keeps them stationary, achieving self-locking. 2. Adopt fine-pitch threads: The bolt undergoes elastic deformation, securely fastening the wheel and brake disc (or drum) to the hub. Using fine-pitch threads increases the friction area between threads, providing better anti-loosening performance. This is why fine-pitch threads are increasingly used in automobiles—they offer superior anti-loosening effects.

Can you step on the brake when hearing the straight-line driving command in Subject 3?

You cannot step on the brake when hearing the straight-line driving command in Subject 3. Before straight-line driving, ensure there are no obstacles ahead and maintain a distance of more than 100 meters from the vehicle in front. Only after the system indicates the end of straight-line driving should you apply the brake and perform other actions. Evaluation criteria for straight-line driving: Unstable direction control, inability to maintain the vehicle's straight-line movement (fail); Failure to take deceleration measures when encountering braking from the vehicle ahead (fail); Not observing the rear traffic situation via mirrors for more than 20 seconds (deduct 10 points); Unaware of the vehicle's speed (deduct 10 points); Failure to promptly detect road obstacles and take deceleration measures (deduct 10 points). Tips for straight-line driving: First, look straight ahead and pay attention to both sides, select a reference point, maintain straight-line driving, adjust the direction in time, and always be aware of various traffic situations ahead to detect and handle them promptly. Look far and near while holding the steering wheel straight. The driver should adjust the viewing distance ahead according to the speed changes. Operate the steering wheel smoothly and naturally with both hands, keeping them shoulder-width apart without applying too much force. When adjusting direction, turn early and slightly, with a balance between turning and returning, pulling with one hand and pushing with the other, coordinating both hands to maintain the vehicle's straight-line movement. Maintain a steady speed for straight-line driving.

VW50200 Oil Selection: 30 or 40?

In terms of oil viscosity, simply follow the specifications in the user manual. If 30-weight oil is recommended, using a higher viscosity 40-weight oil by mistake will definitely reduce the oil's fluidity, adversely affecting both fuel consumption and engine performance. More details about engine oil are as follows: 1. API Grades: Oils with an "S" prefix are specifically for gasoline engines, with quality grades ranging from SA to SN, totaling 12 levels. Diesel engine oils start with the letter "C," with grades including CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CF, CF-4, CG-4, CH-4, CI-4, and CJ-4. Whether for gasoline or diesel vehicles, each higher letter grade indicates superior performance compared to the previous one. 2. Considerations When Choosing Oil: Avoid selecting oil with a lower viscosity than the original specification, as this will directly impair the oil's lubricating properties. Not only will it accelerate engine wear, but prolonged use may lead to severe issues like bearing failure, potentially resulting in complete engine failure.

What does the menu button in the car mean?

Menu refers to the multifunctional operation menu, which usually appears on the multifunction controls on the steering wheel and the central console controls. The following is a related introduction to Menu: 1. Operation method: After pressing the MENU button, you will enter the system's various function selection interfaces. Use the touch screen, buttons, or knobs to select operations. The lever that appears on the left side of the multifunction controls on the steering wheel is generally used for light adjustments. The MENU button that appears on the central console controls is mostly a sound effect setting button. Press it briefly and adjust it with the knob on the right to achieve the desired sound quality and tone. 2. Related parameters: Menu refers to the summary of the settings for the car audio's related parameters, including adjustments for treble, midrange, and bass of ordinary audio, adjustments for surround speakers, adjustments for left and right sound fields, as well as sound effect settings. It also includes adjustments unique to car audio, such as the sound field strength for the front and rear rows, and the selection of multiple audio sources.

Why does antifreeze overflow from the reservoir?

Antifreeze may overflow from the reservoir for the following reasons: 1. Damaged reservoir cap: Check if the reservoir cap is damaged. When the temperature inside the reservoir is high, antifreeze will leak out if the cap is damaged. 2. Overfilled antifreeze: If the antifreeze level exceeds the marked line on the reservoir, it may overflow during driving. No overflow will occur when the antifreeze level is appropriate. 3. Thermostat malfunction: A faulty thermostat can cause the engine temperature to rise too high. When the coolant cannot enter the engine water passages for major circulation due to high temperature, the antifreeze will undergo minor circulation in the radiator, leading to overflow.

How to Adjust the Steering Wheel?

Steering wheel adjustment methods are as follows: 1. Front and rear adjustment of the steering wheel: Adjust the length on the axis of the steering wheel. This allows drivers of different body types to adjust the distance between themselves and the steering wheel, ensuring both a comfortable legroom and a comfortable distance between the driver and the steering wheel. 2. Up and down adjustment of the steering wheel: Adjust the vertical distance of the steering wheel. This accommodates the needs of drivers of different body types for the vertical space between the steering wheel and themselves. It allows the driver to adjust the distance between the seat and the steering wheel, maintaining a comfortable sense of space for the legs.
