First, release the steering wheel fixing lever, which is the lever that locks the steering wheel after adjustment. Pull the steering wheel to the outermost position. Start from the innermost part of the steering column cover, where there is a dust cover (leather). Lift the upper cover upwards to remove it. The upper cover is secured with clips, so there's no need to worry—the clips are sturdy. Use a gentle upward pull, and the clips won't break. Steering wheel usage methods are as follows: 1. Standard grip and seating posture. The most standard grip is to place both hands symmetrically on either side of the steering wheel (left hand at the 9 o'clock position, right hand at the 3 o'clock position on the dial), with thumbs lightly resting on the inner side of the steering wheel. The correct seating posture involves aligning your body straight with the steering wheel, keeping your eyes level with the road ahead, placing your left foot below the clutch pedal, and resting the ball of your right foot lightly on the accelerator pedal at about two-thirds of its travel. Adjust the seat according to the vehicle model and your height to ensure you sit comfortably, naturally, and with coordinated, flexible movements. 2. Good sense of direction. When encountering changes in road conditions or obstacles while driving, respond swiftly by turning the wheel quickly and returning it quickly, turning slowly and returning slowly, making small adjustments for minor corrections and larger ones for major corrections. Effective steering involves quick corrections and smooth, decisive movements without hesitation.

What causes the abnormal noise when the car just starts moving?

When the car just starts moving, there is an abnormal noise. The following reasons can summarize this phenomenon: 1. Long engine service life: Some cars have engines that have been used for too long, and each time they start, the idle speed is high, resulting in this abnormal noise. 2. The engine oil used during car maintenance is also a reason: Expensive engine oil is not necessarily good; it must be suitable for your car. Unsuitable engine oil can cause certain abnormal noises. 3. Belt wear: Cars with long service lives need belt replacements, and belt wear can also produce this sound.

What Are Paddle Shifters?

Automotive paddle shifters are gear shift paddles. Here are the specific details: 1. Introduction: Paddle shifters are gear-shifting devices installed on semi-automatic clutch vehicles, designed to enable gear changes without using the foot clutch by simply pulling the paddles. This device is widely used in racing cars. 2. Product Categories: There are two types of paddle shifters: fixed and follow-up. Fixed paddle shifters remain stationary relative to the dashboard, meaning they do not move during steering while the steering wheel rotates. Follow-up paddle shifters remain stationary relative to the steering wheel, meaning they rotate along with the steering wheel as a whole during steering.

What is the difference between tubeless tires and tube tires?

The difference between tubeless tires and tube tires lies in the inner tube: tubeless tires do not have an inner tube; tube tires have an inner tube. Tubeless tires are currently mainly used in small and medium-sized cars and motorcycles, offering good shock absorption and grip, with relatively minor damage that does not immediately lead to loss of air or gas. Tube tires are primarily used in bicycles and large vehicles, known for their durability and load-bearing capacity. Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, directly contacting the road surface and working together with the car's suspension to reduce the impact on the car while driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving, maintaining excellent adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, and improving the car's traction, braking, and passing capabilities.
