Steering wheel shift is not practical. The functions of the steering wheel are: to convert the force applied by the driver on the edge of the steering wheel into torque and transmit it to the steering shaft, thereby achieving the purpose of changing the vehicle's direction. Steering wheels are categorized into: single-spoke steering wheels, dual-spoke steering wheels, triple-spoke steering wheels, and quad-spoke steering wheels. Precautions for using the steering wheel: 1. Control the steering wheel by pushing with the left hand and pulling with the right hand in a smooth and gentle motion; 2. When holding the steering wheel, use your hands to support it to reduce bad driving habits; 3. When turning the steering wheel, apply more turns for more correction, fewer turns for less correction, and quick turns for quick correction. When returning the steering wheel, do it swiftly and accurately.

How to Deal with Engine Overheating?

Here are the steps to handle engine overheating: 1. Safely drive the vehicle off the road and park in a safe location. Set the transmission to "P" gear and apply the parking brake. Turn on the hazard warning lights. If the air conditioning is in use, turn it off. 2. If steam is escaping from the gaps in the engine hood, open the hood while keeping the engine running. 3. Check whether the radiator fan is operating normally. 4. After the temperature gauge needle drops, turn off the engine. 5. Once the engine has cooled down, open the radiator cap and check the coolant level in both the radiator and the reservoir. Also, inspect whether the radiator is dirty or covered with debris. 6. If the coolant is insufficient, refill the radiator and reservoir with coolant. In an emergency, if no coolant is available, add water as a temporary measure.

Where is the VIN located on the Jianghuai Refine?

The VIN of the Jianghuai Refine is located under the rear of the passenger seat. There is a small black cover that can be moved aside to reveal it. Alternatively, the VIN and engine number may also be found in the lower left corner of the front windshield or within the engine compartment. Below is relevant information: 1. VIN Overview: The VIN is a combination of 17 letters and numbers arranged in a specific sequence, providing details about the vehicle's country of manufacture, year, model, engine type, and more. 2. Label Position: Except for trailers and motorcycles, the label should be affixed to the door hinge pillar, door lock pillar, or one of the door edge pillars adjacent to the door lock, near the driver's seat. If such a location is not available, it should be fixed on the left side of the dashboard. If that is also not possible, it should be placed on the inner side of the door near the driver's seat. If none of the above positions are feasible, a written application must be submitted to the NHTSA. The label's position should be easily readable without moving any vehicle parts, except for the exterior door.

Where to Find the Vehicle Make and Model?

Generally, the vehicle make and model can be found in conspicuous locations such as the engine compartment, the left side of the dashboard, or the lower left corner of the windshield. Typically, there is also a VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) plate near the driver's seat, on the door hinge pillar, door lock pillar, or one of the door edges connected to the lock pillar. Additionally, the vehicle make and model are often listed in the vehicle's registration certificate, owner's manual, and insurance policy. Below are the functions of the vehicle make and model: 1. Confirming Vehicle Identity: Especially in special circumstances, the VIN can accurately identify your vehicle, saving time. The uniqueness of the VIN ensures better confirmation of the vehicle. 2. Traffic Violation Inquiry: When checking for traffic violations, the VIN is usually required to proceed with the inquiry. The VIN serves as the vehicle's ID card and should be kept secure. 3. Vehicle Batch Inquiry: With the continuous addition of car brands and numerous recalls, the VIN helps determine whether a vehicle falls within a recall range, preventing potential malfunctions during use that could lead to financial losses. It also ensures safe driving. If the vehicle's batch is within the recall range, immediately contact a 4S shop or the manufacturer.

Why does the brake feel harder than before?

Brakes are mechanical braking devices that can slow down the speed of a vehicle, also known as decelerators. There are two main reasons why the brake pedal feels harder than before: 1. Vacuum booster pump leakage or malfunction: If you did not press the brake pedal after the car was turned off, or if you find it difficult to press the brake pedal while driving, it may be caused by a leak or blockage in the vacuum tube of the brake booster pump. 2. Pressing the brake before turning off the engine: The brake booster pump only continuously generates vacuum when the engine is running. When the engine is not running, it relies on the remaining vacuum assistance, which usually disappears after a few presses. However, this phenomenon will return to normal after restarting the engine and is not a malfunction.

What does the hold button in a car mean?

Hold in a car refers to the auto hold function, which is used to control the auto hold switch. Its purpose is to adjust the car to the most efficient driving state based on different road conditions. If driving on extremely poor road conditions, this button can effectively prevent the transmission from frequently shifting gears. Additionally, during overtaking, it can also serve the function of forced downshifting. Here are some related details: 1. If you need it to work, simply press the hold button while in D gear, and the car's transmission will maintain the second, third, or fourth gear. Pressing the hold button in third gear will keep the car in second or third gear. 2. Pressing the hold button in second gear will keep the car in second gear, and pressing it in first gear will naturally keep it fixed in first gear. Using this button will not cause any harm to the transmission.

What is the lifespan of the Outlander CVT transmission?

The lifespan of the Outlander CVT transmission is between 300,000 to 400,000 kilometers. Here is some relevant information on the correct usage and maintenance of the CVT transmission: 1. Manual: After purchasing a new car, it is essential to carefully read the user manual. 2. Accelerating and braking: Avoid sudden acceleration and hard braking, as this can increase engine wear. 3. Uphill and downhill: When driving on long or steep slopes, use manual mode or low gear. 4. Neutral gear: Coasting in neutral is not recommended, as it may even cause immediate damage to components. 5. Emergency braking: During emergency braking, do not shift directly into P gear; instead, shift to N gear and engage the handbrake. 6. Hill starts: When starting on a slope, use the brake assist to reduce the load on the steel belt and extend its lifespan.
