It is normal for a new car's door to be hard to close because the door's sealing rubber strip is still new and has not yet formed any wear marks. Below is the relevant information: 1. Function of the car door: The car door provides a passage for the driver and passengers to enter and exit the vehicle, isolates external interference, and to some extent reduces side impacts, protecting the occupants. The aesthetics of the car are also related to the design of the door. 2. Quality of the car door: This is mainly reflected in: the door's anti-collision performance, sealing performance, ease of opening and closing, and of course, other functional indicators. Anti-collision performance is particularly important because, during a side impact, the buffer distance is very short, making it easy for passengers inside the car to be injured.

Why Can't I Turn the Steering Wheel When Starting the Car?

Steering wheel lock is a simple anti-theft feature designed for vehicle security. Here are the solutions for dealing with a locked steering wheel: 1. To unlock the steering wheel, first insert the mechanical key, press the vehicle's brake pedal, and then turn the steering wheel. Although the steering wheel is in a locked state, it can still be slightly turned. 2. While turning the steering wheel, simultaneously turn the key to complete the steering wheel unlocking procedure. At this point, the vehicle can be started normally. Additional information: When the car is turned off, if the steering wheel is turned left or right or if the wheels are not aligned when parked, the force applied can cause the steering wheel to turn, triggering the self-locking function. The steering lock pin engages with the steering column, making the steering wheel immovable. Even if the key is inserted and turned forcefully, it won't budge. This is the vehicle's anti-theft system detecting a potential theft risk and locking the steering wheel to prevent unauthorized use.

Does carrying an extra child in a five-seat sedan count as overloading?

Carrying an extra child in a five-seat sedan is considered overloading. Here are the relevant details: 1. The passenger capacity of a vehicle is not determined by the age or weight of the passengers but by the number of individuals. Article 49 of the Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates that motor vehicles must not carry more passengers than the approved number, and passenger vehicles must not carry goods in violation of regulations. A standard five-seat sedan has an approved capacity of five people (including the driver). Exceeding this number by even one person (including infants or children) is considered a 20% overload and will result in a fine of 200 yuan and a deduction of 6 points from the driver's license. 2. Article 76 of the Road Traffic Safety Law outlines the division of liability in traffic accidents. In accidents between motor vehicles, the party at fault bears the responsibility. If both parties are at fault, the liability is divided according to the proportion of their respective faults. In cases of overloading, if the overloaded vehicle is rear-ended by another, the other party bears full responsibility. However, if the overloaded vehicle rear-ends another, it will bear heavier liability due to overloading.

How to Drive Through the Curve in Subject 2?

Method for driving through the curve in Subject 2: 1. Drive the vehicle toward the curve driving test area, and the in-car voice prompt will start. At this point, drive the vehicle to the entrance of the curve and adjust the vehicle to the center of the road, keeping the outer front wheel as close as possible to the right edge of the curve. 2. After entering the curve area, drive the vehicle along the right side. When the left front corner aligns with the right edge line, turn the steering wheel one full turn to the left while making minor adjustments, paying attention to the distance between the wheel and the curve edge in the right rearview mirror. 3. When the left front corner gradually completes the right edge line of the left turn, keep the steering wheel steady. Once the right vertex of the hood touches the left edge line of the right turn, straighten the steering wheel and proceed slowly for a short distance. 4. When the left 1/3 of the hood meets the left edge line of the right turn, turn the steering wheel one full turn to the right while making minor adjustments to align the right front corner with the left edge line of the right turn. Follow the S-curve to complete the right turn, ensuring the vehicle does not cross the line.

How many seconds is a red light generally?

In China, the intervals for traffic lights are generally 30 seconds, 40 seconds, 45 seconds, or 60 seconds, but some cities have intervals of 90 seconds. Each city is different, and even within the same city, the duration of traffic lights varies at different intersections, designed based on comprehensive consideration of pedestrian and vehicle flow. Generally, the red light duration does not exceed 180 seconds. Only in special circumstances such as accident clearance, special security details, or manual intervention for traffic control will the red light duration exceed 180 seconds. Consecutive red lights are not a signal malfunction but a form of manual intervention, an important measure to regulate green light duration based on traffic pressure from various directions. Relevant provisions of the traffic laws: Traffic signals consist of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light indicates prohibition of passage, a green light indicates permission to proceed, and a yellow light serves as a warning. Vehicles and pedestrians must follow traffic signals; when directed by traffic police on-site, they must follow the police's instructions; on roads without traffic signals, they must proceed under the principle of ensuring safety and smooth flow. Pedestrians crossing intersections or roads should use crosswalks or pedestrian facilities; when crossing at signalized crosswalks, they must follow the traffic signals; when crossing at intersections without traffic signals or crosswalks, or on road sections without pedestrian facilities, they must ensure safety before proceeding.

What is the wading depth of the Atenza?

The maximum wading depth of the Atenza is 200mm. The wading depth of the Atenza is determined by the height of the vehicle's chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the model's parameter configuration table. Generally, the greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when driving through waterlogged roads. Therefore, in terms of safe wading depth, off-road vehicles and SUVs have obvious advantages. However, for most compact and small cars with low chassis, the position of the vehicle's air intake should be used as a reference when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake of the Atenza is below the water level during wading, water will be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it can cause severe damage to the engine's mechanical components (such as connecting rods, pistons, crankshafts, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth must not exceed the height of the engine's air intake. The height of the air intake, and thus the maximum wading depth, can be increased by installing a snorkel. If wading is unavoidable, the following safe and correct operations should be performed: Before driving through water, always turn off the auto start-stop function to prevent the engine from automatically restarting if the vehicle stalls in water, which could cause severe damage due to water entering the engine. Assess the underwater road conditions based on the passage of vehicles ahead and choose an appropriate entry point. Observe the path taken by other vehicles and follow their tracks at low speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration. On roads prone to water accumulation, use reference points such as warning water level markers, trees, or the wheels and doors of other vehicles to estimate the water depth before deciding whether to proceed. Be aware of your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half the height of the tires or the engine's air intake, do not proceed and consider taking an alternative route.
