Steering wheel cover sewing method is: First cover the upper part of the steering wheel, use your legs to support the lower part, then use both hands to cover the left and right sides of the steering wheel. Next, thread the needle through the inner seam of the cover and pull it tight. Repeat this process until the sewing is completed. Relevant information about car steering wheels: 1. Function: Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver on the steering wheel edge into torque and transmit it to the steering shaft. 2. Correct grip: If the steering wheel is regarded as a clock face, the correct hand position is to place the left hand between the 9 and 10 o'clock positions, and the right hand between the 3 and 4 o'clock positions. In case of a collision, this posture is more conducive to supporting the body.

I really enjoy sewing my own steering wheel cover because it not only saves money but also gives a great sense of accomplishment. The whole process isn't complicated but requires patience: first, choose a high-quality steering wheel cover material, such as genuine leather or eco-friendly fabric, ensuring it fits your car model. The tools needed include a sewing needle, nylon thread, and specialized washers. The steps start with cleaning the steering wheel and removing the old cover; then, cut the material to the perfect size, remembering to leave some extra for the seams. When sewing, use double-threaded stitches with a cross-stitch pattern for extra durability—take your time and make sure each stitch is tight. Finally, tidy up the loose threads and test for any slippage. I've done this a few times myself; although it takes time, the grip feels incredibly comfortable, and it helps prevent steering wheel wear. If it's your first DIY attempt, there are plenty of video tutorials online to follow—avoid overly complex patterns and keep it simple for better stability.

When to Turn on the Width Lights?

Width lights should be turned on when it is not completely dark yet, to make the vehicle visible to others. Width lights are indicators installed on vehicles to show the width of the car and are commonly used lights. When the width lights are on, the distance between the two beams is roughly the same as the width of the vehicle. If you are unsure whether your car can pass through a narrow alley, you can turn on the width lights. To indicate the width of the car and alert other vehicles and pedestrians, turning the light switch to the first position will activate the small lights at the front and rear, which are the width lights. Other commonly used vehicle lights include: 1. Headlights, which are installed on both sides of the front of the car and are used for illuminating the road during nighttime driving; 2. Turn signals, which are important indicators turned on when the vehicle is changing direction to alert surrounding vehicles and pedestrians.

Is the original invoice required for used car transactions?

Buying and selling used cars requires the original invoice. Here is some additional information: 1. The original car invoice refers to the invoice issued when purchasing a new car. When buying a used car that was previously owned by one individual, the invoice required for the transfer of ownership is the original car invoice; 2. When inspecting the original invoice, pay attention to whether the name of the vehicle owner on the original invoice matches that on the vehicle registration certificate. If they do not match, the car may be of unknown origin or the invoice may be problematic; 3. Also, check whether the invoice is stamped with the verification seal of the Beijing Administration for Industry and Commerce. If the invoice is found to be unstamped, you need to obtain a certificate from the original new car sales unit before the transfer of ownership, and then have the verification seal stamped by the Administration for Industry and Commerce.
