Citroën C5 steering wheel removal method: First, there are clips under the steering wheel. Use two small screwdrivers to remove the clips, then detach the airbag of the steering wheel, and finally unscrew the large central bolt of the steering wheel shaft to remove the steering wheel. Below is some relevant information about the Citroën C5: 1. In terms of power, the new C5 offers two engine options. The entry-level 350THP model is equipped with a 1.6THP engine, delivering a maximum power output of 123kW (167PS)/6000rpm and a peak torque of 245Nm/1400-4000rpm.

I've got experience removing the Citroën C5 steering wheel, and you need to be extra careful when doing it yourself. The first step is disconnecting the negative battery terminal because the airbag module could deploy unexpectedly, which can cause serious injury. You must wait about ten minutes for the system to discharge. Next, use tools to remove the Citroën logo cover in the center of the steering wheel—it's usually held by clips. After carefully prying it off, you'll see the airbag. Gently pry it open without using excessive force. Disconnecting the airbag's wiring harness is crucial—make sure the connector isn't damaged. Then, remove the steering wheel retaining nut, which sits on top of the steering column and might require an 18mm socket. Before pulling the steering wheel off, check the alignment marks for easier reassembly. I recommend wearing gloves and safety goggles during the whole process since airbags are sensitive. For beginners, I suggest reviewing the vehicle manual or video tutorials. If you're unsure, it's safer and more convenient to leave it to a professional shop. After reassembly, remember to test the steering function to ensure everything works properly.

What does the fishbone line on the highway mean?

Fishbone lines on highways often appear near tunnels, with the main purpose of reminding drivers to slow down. These fishbone lines have solid or dashed lines in the middle, and the spacing is not fixed - it gradually widens from narrow to wide. Initially, the spacing may be only about 10 cm, but as vehicles approach, the fishbone lines gradually become wider. Highways have many markings and signs, each representing different meanings and used in different locations to provide various warnings and instructions to passing drivers. A highway is a multi-lane road exclusively designed for directional and lane-based vehicle traffic, with full access control. The annual average daily traffic volume on highways should ideally exceed 15,000 passenger cars, with design speeds ranging from 80 to 120 kilometers per hour.

How many seconds will trigger a photo at highway fork intersections?

Not all sections of highway fork intersections have electronic surveillance cameras. If you stop in the emergency parking lane for 10 seconds, even if captured, it won't be considered a violation. Methods of highway electronic camera enforcement: 1. Currently, sections with surveillance cameras typically have induction coils installed beneath the road surface with preset parameters based on specific regulations. Any detection exceeding standards immediately triggers the camera to capture evidence; 2. Speed violations on highways are usually captured from behind, but checkpoint-style cameras may have high-definition capabilities, spanning across the road with bright illumination, potentially capturing clear images; 3. Highway monitoring centers, surveillance point setups, electronic police violation inquiries, electronic eyes, and camera locations.
