To activate the right turn signal, pull the turn signal lever upward; to activate the left turn signal, pull it downward. Below is a detailed introduction to car turn signals: 1. The turn signal switch is generally installed on the left side of the steering wheel, and its operation method can be summarized as 'up for right, down for left.' 2. While driving, if you observe a need to turn ahead, be sure to activate the turn signal about 10 seconds in advance to alert following vehicles to take timely measures such as slowing down, stopping, etc., to avoid collisions or rear-end accidents. However, activating the turn signal too far in advance may cause visual fatigue for following vehicles. Additional information: 1. Turn off hazard lights before using turn signals (if the vehicle lacks turn signal priority function): Many car models do not have a turn signal priority function, so if you need to use the turn signal while the hazard lights are on, you should first turn off the hazard lights before activating the turn signal switch. 2. Quickly identifying turn signal malfunctions: Turn signals are divided into contact-type flashers and non-contact-type flashers. When a contact-type turn signal fails, the corresponding turn signal indicator on the dashboard will stop blinking. When a non-contact-type turn signal fails, the corresponding dashboard indicator will blink at a faster frequency.

Why does the brake feel harder than before?

Brakes are mechanical braking devices that can slow down the speed of a vehicle, also known as decelerators. There are two main reasons why the brake pedal feels harder than before: Vacuum booster pump leakage or malfunction: If you did not press the brake pedal after the car was turned off, or if you find it difficult to press the brake pedal while driving, it may be caused by a leak or blockage in the vacuum tube of the brake booster pump. Pressing the brake before turning off the engine: The brake booster pump only continuously generates vacuum when the engine is running. When the engine is not running, it relies only on the small amount of remaining vacuum assistance. Typically, this assistance is exhausted after a few presses, but this phenomenon will return to normal after restarting the engine and is not a malfunction.

Car Makes a Thud Sound When Starting or Braking?

Possible causes for the car making a thud sound when starting or braking are as follows: 1. The fuel cap cannot be opened, or there is a fault in the chassis suspension components, such as lack of lubrication, wear, deformation, etc. 2. Faults in the chassis steering mechanism components, such as tie rods, upper and lower suspension arms, ball joints, etc. 3. Faults in the front or rear wheel bearings, such as wear, lack of lubrication, or burning out. Additional information: Wear on the brake disc can form deep grooves around the disc. Friction between the brake pads and the edges of these grooves can cause abnormal noises. If the grooves are not particularly deep, the issue can be resolved by grinding the edges of the brake pads to avoid contact with the groove edges. If the grooves are very deep, it is recommended to replace the brake disc. It is generally advised to replace the brake disc once for every two brake pad replacements.

Blockage in the air duct or the air filter. The rear air vent is a comfort feature, with one or more air conditioning vents located near the rear seats of the vehicle, sharing the same compressor as the front air conditioning, allowing for independent adjustment of the airflow volume.
