The white one is the first ring, and the black one is the second ring. The outer circumference of the white ring is a barrel-faced ring (shaped like a barrel), while the outer circumference of the black second ring is a rectangular ring. Engines are high-revving engines with shorter piston strokes, meaning the piston will swing left and right when moving within the cylinder.

What are the effects of turning the steering wheel while stationary on the car?

Here are the specific effects of turning the steering wheel while stationary on the car: 1. First, it will cause the steering wheel to age prematurely. Turning the steering wheel while stationary for a long time can also cause significant damage to the steering wheel itself. 2. It affects the service life of the car tires. When the vehicle turns the steering wheel while stationary, the entire weight of the car is concentrated on the front tires, causing uneven pressure on the tires and increasing their wear. 3. It increases hydraulic pressure, weakening the load capacity of the vehicle tires. When turning the steering wheel while stationary, the vehicle relies on vacuum assistance, which reduces the driving difficulty for many car owners, but during this process, the pressure on the power steering pump increases significantly.

What to Do If the First Maintenance Manual Is Lost?

Solution for losing the first maintenance manual: Verify with the staff at the 4S dealership to confirm that the car was purchased there. In this case, the first maintenance can be performed without the manual. For subsequent maintenance visits, the 4S shop's computer system will have the maintenance records, making the manual completely optional. Additional Information: 1. The first car maintenance typically includes changing the engine oil and oil filter to remove impurities from the engine. It also involves cleaning the air filter and cabin air filter, conducting a full vehicle inspection, and for some domestic cars, replacing the gear oil. The first maintenance is usually free of charge. 2. General maintenance recommendations include two criteria: time interval (every six months) and mileage interval (every 5,000 kilometers). Whichever comes first should be followed.

How to Check Engine Compression Pressure?

Engine compression pressure testing method is as follows: 1. First, ensure the battery is fully charged; warm up the engine to normal operating temperature; 2. Turn off the engine and let it cool for 10 minutes; follow the "Fuel System Safety Inspection Steps" to remove the fuel pump relay. 3. Disconnect the ignition coil connector and remove the spark plugs; 4. Connect a pressure gauge to the spark plug hole of cylinder No. 1, then fully depress the accelerator pedal and start the engine; 5. Start the engine and record the maximum reading on the pressure gauge to obtain the pressure; Additional Information: 1. If the compression pressure increases, it may indicate wear on the piston, piston rings, or cylinder walls, requiring an overhaul; if adjacent cylinders show low pressure, it suggests the cylinder gasket may be damaged or the cylinder head may be deformed, necessitating an overhaul; if the compression pressure remains low, it may indicate stuck valves or poor sealing surface contact, requiring an overhaul. 2. Before measuring engine compression pressure, remove all spark plugs and place the reset-to-zero gauge at the spark plug hole of the cylinder being tested (some compression gauges screw into the spark plug hole). Start the engine and observe and note the value indicated by the gauge's first jump. Release the starter to return the gauge to zero. Repeat the measurement following the same procedure, but each measurement should take the highest value the gauge's first jump can reach as the standard. The value the gauge first jumps to is the true pressure of that cylinder.

What are the techniques for finding the 30cm reference point when reversing into the right parking space?

Here are the specific techniques for finding the 30cm reference point when reversing into the right parking space: 1. Adjust the seat and backrest inside the car, maintain a proper sitting posture, and visually align the one-third point of the car's front with the right-side line before moving forward. At this point, the car body is approximately 30cm away from the yellow line. 2. Focus on the windshield wiper and align its rivet with the side line before moving forward. At this point, the car body is approximately 30cm away from the yellow line. Below is more information about reversing into the parking space: 1. Reversing into the parking space, also known as reverse parking or pole test, is a key assessment in the driver's test. It involves correctly maneuvering the vehicle into the parking space from both sides while in motion, primarily testing the driver's ability to operate the car in a confined space and their spatial awareness when the vehicle is moving. 2. It is essential to maintain a steady speed throughout the reversing process, otherwise, the vehicle may stall easily.

Where else can daytime running lights be connected besides ACC?

Daytime running lights can be connected to other locations in the front of the vehicle besides the ACC line, but when determining the location, areas with high temperatures and prone to water accumulation should be avoided as much as possible. Below is more information about daytime running lights: 1. Daytime running lights are lamps installed at the front of the vehicle to make it more easily recognizable during daytime driving. These lights are not for the driver to see the road clearly but to signal others that a vehicle is approaching. 2. The power consumption of daytime running lights is only 13.5W. The luminous flux of the product is 70-90LM, with a color temperature range of 6000K-6700K, which is brighter than traditional halogen lights but consumes only 20% of the power of halogen headlights. 3. Daytime running lights must meet basic brightness requirements but should not be too bright to avoid disturbing others.

What Causes the Squeaking Noise When Braking?

The following are the reasons for squeaking noises when braking: 1. Use of low-quality or overly hard brake pads. If the vehicle uses inferior or excessively hard brake pads, stepping on the brakes will cause the brake pads to rub against the brake discs, producing a squeaking sound. Therefore, it is essential to use high-quality brake pads when replacing them. 2. Presence of sand or foreign objects between the brake pads and brake discs. During normal driving, it is inevitable to pass through some rough road conditions. Due to the unique design of disc brakes, some sand and foreign objects may enter between the brake pads and brake discs, which can also cause abnormal noises when braking. 3. Severe wear of the brake discs. Using low-quality brake pads or having hard foreign objects between the brake pads and brake discs can lead to abnormal wear of the brake discs. If the brake discs are excessively worn, stepping on the brakes will also produce a squeaking sound. 4. Brake pad warning. Many people are unaware of when to replace brake pads. There is no strict mileage requirement for replacement; they should be replaced when they become thin. Some brake pads have electronic warning systems, while some lower-end vehicles use warning tabs. If the wear on the brake pads reaches the warning line, a squeaking sound will be emitted as an alert, indicating that they need to be replaced promptly.
