The Swift's steering wheel uses electronic power steering. If it becomes heavy, you can check whether the fuse is burnt out, if there are any open circuits or ground short circuits in the wiring. After inspecting and adjusting any problematic items, the issue of a heavy steering wheel can be resolved. There are several reasons why a car's steering wheel may become heavy: 1. For hydraulic power steering, check if the power steering fluid is low or if there is any leakage. If the fluid is low, it needs to be replenished to the normal range. If the fluid level is adequate, check if the power steering pump belt is too loose. If it is too loose, tighten the belt. Also, check if the fluid is too dirty, which can reduce its flowability. Generally, the fluid should be replaced every 2 years or 60,000 kilometers. 2. For electronic power steering, check if the fuse is burnt out or if there are any open circuits or ground short circuits in the wiring. 3. Check the tire pressure. A leak can also cause the steering to become heavy, so inflate the tires if necessary. 4. If there is excessive play in the front suspension system, inspect and replace the lower control arm if needed. 5. If the steering ball joint is loose, inspect and replace the steering head after checking. 6. Changing the specifications of the front tires.

Does a motorcycle need an on-site annual inspection in its fifth year?

Motorcycles in their fifth year do not require an on-site annual inspection. Annual inspection regulations: The new policy for motorcycle annual inspections states that motorcycles registered within the last 6 years do not need an on-site inspection. Owners must collect the exemption mark in the 2nd, 4th, and 5th years. Motorcycles older than 6 years must undergo an on-site inspection and participate in an annual inspection once a year as required. If the inspection fails, the motorcycle cannot be driven on the road. In severe cases, the motorcycle may directly lose its roadworthiness qualification and be scrapped. Documents required for motorcycle annual inspection: For the motorcycle: Motorcycle registration certificate; both original and duplicate copies must be complete; valid compulsory traffic insurance policy (i.e., the duplicate copy of the compulsory insurance), if the duplicate is lost, bring the original and make a photocopy on A4 paper; vehicle and vessel tax payment receipt, usually this tax is on the same document as the compulsory insurance; ID card and a photocopy of the ID card; for company vehicles, the company code certificate and the agent's identity proof are required.

Why can't the car start in P gear but can start in N gear?

The reason why the car can't start in P gear but can start in N gear is that the P gear does not return to its proper position. Reasons for P gear not returning to position: The P gear locking mechanism is stuck and cannot return to position. The shift solenoid is damaged and cannot complete the shift command. The gear shift cable is damaged or broken. The control computer is faulty. The P gear locking mechanism in the transmission consists of a locking gear, a locking pin, and a set of actuating mechanisms. Solutions for P gear not engaging: You can try unlocking the gear lock with a key. If it still doesn't work, check whether the brake lights are on when you press the brake pedal. If the brake lights do not turn on, the brake switch is faulty, and the car's computer cannot detect whether the brake is pressed, so it cannot shift gears.

Is It Normal for the Handcart Position to Return Abnormally?

It is not normal for the handcart position to return abnormally. Principles for handling abnormal handcart position: Check if the handcart operation is properly executed. Inspect whether the secondary plug is properly inserted and if there is any poor contact. Verify if the working power supply of the relevant indicator lights is normal. If the power switch trips, attempt to reset the power switch. Check if the indicator lights are damaged, and replace them if necessary. If unable to resolve or identify the cause independently, contact maintenance personnel for assistance. Handling methods: Check if the handcart operation is properly executed, inspect whether the secondary plug is properly inserted and if there is any poor contact, verify if the working power supply of the relevant indicator lights is normal, and attempt to reset the power switch if it trips.

Can You See the Front of the Car While Driving?

Most cars do not allow visibility of the front hood. Methods to determine the front position of the car: To judge the position of the left wheel, you need to know where it will pass over to avoid the tire pressing on solid lines or dodging potholes and rocks on the road. When your line of sight aligns the protruding node of the left wiper with an object on the ground, the left wheel will pass over that object. For example, if the wiper node aligns with the centerline on the ground, the tire will press over the centerline. Methods to determine the front position of the car: When driving normally, maintaining a distance of 60 centimeters from the centerline is relatively safe. When your line of sight aligns the intersection of the dashboard and the A-pillar with the centerline, the car body is exactly 60 centimeters away from the centerline.

Does Replacing Fuel Injectors Require Matching?

Replacing fuel injectors does not require matching. When to replace fuel injectors: If the engine experiences unstable idling, increased fuel consumption, or poor acceleration, cleaning the fuel injectors may be necessary. Generally, it is recommended to clean them every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers. For vehicles in good condition with high-quality fuel, this interval can be extended to 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. Function of fuel injectors: Promotes complete combustion; delivers fuel to the engine. How fuel injectors work: When the electromagnetic coil is energized, it generates a magnetic force that lifts the needle valve, opening the injector nozzle. Fuel is then sprayed at high speed through the annular gap between the needle valve tip and the nozzle, forming a fine mist.

Should I transfer ownership or cancel insurance first when selling a car?

Whether to transfer ownership or cancel insurance first when selling a car depends on whether it's compulsory traffic insurance or commercial insurance. Compulsory Traffic Insurance: For compulsory traffic insurance, you can only transfer ownership first, and the insurance cannot be canceled after the transfer. Because compulsory traffic insurance follows the vehicle, not the owner. According to the "Compulsory Traffic Insurance Regulations," the insurance can only be canceled when the insured vehicle is deregistered, officially declared out of service, or confirmed lost by public security authorities. Obviously, a used car transaction does not fall under these categories. Commercial Insurance: For commercial auto insurance, the owner can choose to transfer ownership first and then cancel the insurance, or cancel the insurance first and then transfer ownership. It is recommended to cancel the commercial insurance first, as usually after the vehicle is transferred, the insurance is sold along with the car. If the insurance premium was not included in the sale agreement, the owner can cancel the insurance by providing the transfer documents, and the insurance company will refund a portion of the premium based on the policy value.
