When driving in snowy weather, the anti-slip function should be turned on. As the name suggests, the anti-slip function prevents skidding, which is particularly common in snowy conditions. If the anti-slip function is activated, the sensor will detect when the car is in an extreme state of loss of control. At this point, the anti-slip system will work in conjunction with the braking system to help the car regain normal driving conditions. Precautions when using the anti-slip function: When the anti-slip system indicator light on the dashboard is illuminated, it means the anti-slip system is currently active. When the system stops working, the indicator light will automatically turn off. If the indicator light is on but the car is not skidding, it is most likely due to accidentally pressing the anti-slip function button. In this case, simply press the button again to reactivate it. The role of the anti-slip button: The anti-slip button is a control system designed to prevent the drive wheels from accelerating and skidding. Its purpose is to maintain the stability of the vehicle's direction, ensure good handling, and provide optimal driving force for safe driving. However, when encountering surfaces where the tires are prone to skid, the vehicle stability control system should be turned off.

I think it's absolutely necessary to turn on the anti-skid system when driving in the snow, as it prevents the vehicle from losing control and skidding on slippery roads. I usually drive very carefully, especially in snowy conditions when road traction is poor and the wheels can easily lose grip. In such situations, the anti-skid system helps maintain vehicle stability by automatically adjusting the brakes or controlling engine torque output. Once, I encountered a similar situation where I was driving at a slow speed but nearly skidded while turning, but fortunately, the system intervened in time. Besides activating this function, I also use winter tires, drive slowly, and maintain a safe distance from the car ahead. Combining these measures can significantly reduce the risk of accidents. In short, developing good habits is key to safe winter driving.

Does the steering wheel need lubrication?

Electronic power steering does not require lubrication. Non-electronic power steering can be lubricated, but it is not necessary because the bearings of the rotating mechanism are generally sealed. Additional information: Relevant knowledge about steering wheels is as follows: 1. Definition: A wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, aircraft, etc. It is connected to the steering shaft via splines and converts the force applied by the driver on the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. The steering wheel is the part of the car that the driver interacts with the longest, uses most frequently, and reflects the most concentrated user demands. 2. Design: The steering wheel is typically circular in shape, while high-end sports models may flatten the bottom arc. This design is now also applied to regular models. 3. Design features: Ergonomic considerations, such as convex pressing surfaces, mountain-like designs on the back of the grip, and appropriate hardness and roughness.

When reversing, which way does the car body move if the steering wheel is turned to the right?

When the steering wheel is turned to the right, the car body also moves to the right. Here are the reasons for car dripping: 1. Introduction: When reversing, turning the steering wheel to the left will make the rear of the car move to the left, and turning the steering wheel to the right will make the rear of the car move to the right. 2. Steering wheel grip: The left hand should be at the 9 o'clock position, and the right hand at the 3 o'clock position, adopting a symmetrical grip on the steering wheel. In other words, this creates equal torque force, allowing both sides of the steering wheel to bear force evenly during turns. When driving on bumpy, rugged, or winding roads, if the steering wheels hit a large pothole or rock, the deflection is quickly fed back to the steering wheel, which may cause the driver to lose grip. Therefore, this steering wheel grip posture is very important.

Why does the car always get crooked when reversing into the garage?

Slow down the speed and observe carefully. The following is an introduction about reversing into the garage: 1. Overview: Reversing into the garage is a mandatory test item for obtaining a small car driver's license after 2013. It examines the driver's ability to operate the car in a specific area. Reversing into the garage is an assessment point in the driver's test, which involves maneuvering the vehicle correctly into the garage from both sides while in motion. There is a time limit for reversing into the garage during the test. 2. Methods: There are three most common types of reversing: The first is the "non"-shaped reversing into the garage, commonly seen in various large shopping malls. The second is the roadside "one"-shaped reversing into the garage, also known as parallel parking. The third is the less common diagonal reversing into the garage. 70% of driving students find parallel parking more difficult.

What is the direction of the wheels when the steering wheel is turned one full turn to the left?

Turning the steering wheel one full turn to the left rotates the wheels by 26.7 degrees. Related knowledge is as follows: 1. One full turn of the steering wheel equals 360 degrees, and a quarter turn equals 90 degrees. Imagine the steering wheel as a clock, with the correct hand positions being the left hand near the 9 o'clock position and the right hand near the 3 o'clock position; 2. When turning the steering wheel, both hands should not let go and can rotate up to 180 degrees to each side; 3. Turning the steering wheel fully to the right means turning it one and a half turns to the right, and turning it fully to the left means turning it one and a half turns to the left; 4. To straighten the wheels after a full turn, return the steering wheel by one full turn. The same applies when turning fully to the left. If you turn the wheel half a turn to the right, turning it back half a turn will straighten the wheels.
