To unlock a locked car steering wheel, follow these steps: Press the brake pedal with your foot, gently shake the steering wheel with your left hand while simultaneously turning the key with your right hand. The reasons for a locked steering wheel are: 1. The steering wheel automatically locks after parking and turning off the engine as a simple anti-theft feature; 2. If the steering wheel locks while driving, it indicates a quality issue with the vehicle. Precautions for using a car steering wheel include: 1. Avoid turning the steering wheel to its extreme limit during turns; 2. Minimize forcing or twisting the steering wheel. The car steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of travel. It is connected to the steering shaft via splines and converts the force applied by the driver on the wheel's edge into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft.

What to do if there are scratches on the plastic shell of the car?

If the scratched area is smooth, first use sandpaper to roughen it, then clean it thoroughly, apply shoe polish for coloring, and after it dries slightly, apply silicone rubber to smooth it out. If the scratches on the car's interior plastic are relatively shallow, you can use sandpaper and specialized car interior cleaning products (for oil and wax removal).

How to Steer When the Rear of the Car is Leaning to the Left?

Steering direction is the same as the reversing direction. If the rear of the car leans to the right, steer right, and vice versa. Since the car's steering system controls the front wheels, this means the front wheels need to navigate a relatively large turning radius on the ground when reversing. Therefore, while observing the distance and position behind, it's essential to estimate the position of the front wheels when reversing.

What to Do When the Car Window Gets Stuck and Won't Roll Up?

Glass lifting guide rails are too dirty. Similarly, it's a lubrication issue. Cleaning the glass lifting guide rails and applying lubricating grease can eliminate the fault. When there is sufficient power and no resistance, difficulty in lifting is most likely due to a motor fault. Glass lifter failure, including faults in the glass lifting guide rails, cable faults, slider faults, etc., can only be resolved by replacing the glass lifter. If the glass sealing strip is unsuitable, you can adjust the shape of the strip using DIY methods with scissors, knives, etc.

What to Do When the Car Air Conditioning Suddenly Stops Working?

If the pressure is too low, it indicates a lack of refrigerant which needs to be replenished. Insufficient refrigerant will affect the cooling performance of the air conditioning. If the blower malfunctions, the cold air from the air conditioning system cannot be delivered to the car interior in time, resulting in no cold air coming out of the vents. If the surface of the evaporator is too dirty, the cold air from the vents will decrease because the cold air is primarily generated by the evaporator. If there is a leak in the condenser pipeline, the air conditioning system will fail to cool.
