The usage method of the Sorento 4WD lock button is as follows: 1. Start the car and press the 4WD button on the left side of the dashboard. The yellow 4WD light on the dashboard will illuminate and remain constant when the speed is below 40KM/H. 2. When the vehicle speed reaches around 40KM/H, the 4WD computer begins to release the clamping force of the electromagnetic coupler. Additional information: The 4WD mode is suitable for use on muddy roads. Using the automatic mode on muddy roads can cause frequent and significant changes in the clamping force of the electromagnetic coupler, greatly increasing its heat generation and wear. Using the 4WD mode can effectively avoid these issues.

What are the symptoms of oil emulsification?

The symptom of oil emulsification is the appearance of some white milky substances on the engine oil filler cap. The following are the hazards of oil emulsification: 1. When emulsified oil leaks water at places like the bearings of mechanical equipment, it is likely to destroy the oil film. 2. The emulsified liquid contains liquid water, which stays on the surface of mechanical parts, leading to rusting of equipment components and affecting the normal operation of the unit. 3. Emulsified oil deposits in the lubrication system, affecting the normal circulation of lubricating oil, resulting in insufficient oil supply to mechanical equipment and causing mechanical failures. 4. If emulsified oil is not treated in time with equipment such as oil filters, it will accelerate the overall aging of the oil. At the same time, the aged oil will produce harmful substances such as naphthenic acid soap and colloid, further accelerating the emulsification of healthy oil. 5. After the engine oil is emulsified, the lubricating effect of the engine oil is greatly reduced, increasing the friction coefficient among various mechanical equipment components. During the operation of mechanical equipment, bearings are very likely to be damaged due to overheating.

What is the numerical range for wheel alignment?

The standard data for wheel alignment are: the range of wheel camber angle is ±10 degrees; the range of toe angle is ±6 degrees; the range of caster angle is ±15 degrees; the range of kingpin inclination angle is ±20 degrees. However, since the size and chassis height of each vehicle are different, there is no exact value for the normal range of wheel alignment data. The best method is to check with an instrument. The instrument displays green as normal and red as abnormal. Wheel alignment is based on the four-wheel parameters of the vehicle, adjusted to ensure good driving performance and a certain level of reliability. The functions of wheel alignment include: maintaining the optimal driving angle between the tires and the body; reducing wear on the tires and steering components during driving; keeping the vehicle stable in straight-line driving and making steering easier; ensuring that the rear wheels or front wheels can automatically return to the correct position after steering. The following situations indicate that the vehicle needs wheel alignment correction: When driving, the vehicle is moving straight, but the steering wheel is tilted, or you feel heavy steering, shaking, or non-returning, then wheel alignment is needed; abnormal tire wear, such as wave-like wear, block wear, or uneven wear on one side, requires wheel alignment; if you feel floating, bumping, or swaying while driving, wheel alignment is needed; after repairing or replacing the suspension or steering system, wheel alignment should also be performed. When the wheel alignment data is abnormal, correction is necessary, especially if the vehicle frequently drives on bumpy roads, as the wheel alignment data is more likely to become inaccurate. Generally, it is recommended to perform wheel alignment every 10,000 kilometers or once a year to ensure driving safety and extend the lifespan of the tires.

How to Handle a Car Radiator Boiling Over?

Immediately park the car on a flat and safe area without obstructing traffic. Place a safety warning sign 50 meters behind the vehicle, or 150 meters if on a highway. Allow the engine to idle and open the hood to enhance heat dissipation. Once the temperature drops, add sufficient water to the radiator. Use a damp towel as a cushion when adding water.

Should You Press the Brake When Starting an Automatic Car?

Starting an automatic car requires pressing the brake. Here is the relevant information: 1. An automatic transmission eliminates the need for the driver to manually shift gears, as the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Typically, an automatic transmission has six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P, R, N, D, S, and L. 2. Driving an automatic car primarily involves using the Park (P), Reverse (R), Neutral (N), and Drive (D) gears, which are sufficient for normal driving conditions. However, in certain special driving environments, other functional gears may be required. Therefore, by choosing the correct control method, an automatic car can perform even better than a manual transmission vehicle.

What car has a logo of a horizontal horse?

A logo featuring a horizontal horse represents the Ford Mustang. Here's an introduction to the Ford Mustang: 1. The first concept car of the Ford Mustang was born in 1962, a mid-engine two-seater sports car. The name 'Mustang' commemorates the legendary P51 Mustang fighter aircraft used by the U.S. military during World War II. 2. The Ford Mustang is a sports car produced by Ford Motor Company. Mustangs always exude a wild, unpretentious, and practical design, yet they maintain a very bold and grand appearance. 3. The Mustang family is highly recognizable, featuring a long hood, low roof, and short rear end for a sporty stance, along with classic design elements like the aggressive shark-nose front grille and three-bar taillights.

How to Remove Water Mist from Car Headlights?

When there is water mist in car headlights, the best solution is to turn on the headlights. Generally, after the headlights have been on for a while, the mist will be expelled through the vent pipe along with the heat, without causing damage to the headlights or the circuit. For owners who have a high-pressure air gun, they can also use it to blow air over areas in the engine compartment that are prone to moisture accumulation, speeding up air circulation to remove moisture. Here is some additional information: 1. There is a dedicated vent near the headlight, which is used for heat dissipation. When the headlight is turned off, it remains hot and gradually cools down, inevitably allowing some air and moisture to enter, thus forming water mist. 2. However, this water mist will typically be driven away by the heat of the headlight within about ten minutes after the next time the headlight is turned on, which is a normal phenomenon. But if there is a significant amount of water inside, it indicates that the headlight is leaking.
