When refueling, the engine should be turned off. The reasons are as follows: 1. If the engine is not turned off during refueling, the concentration of oil and gas mixture around the vehicle's fuel tank will increase. If sparks occur while the car is running, gasoline molecules in the air can easily ignite, leading to a fire. 2. If the engine is not turned off during refueling, the engine will continue to operate. In this case, if a short circuit or leakage occurs in the vehicle's electrical system, the consequences can be very serious, posing significant safety hazards. 3. Refueling without turning off the engine can cause gasoline to spray out when opening the fuel tank cap, and the foam generated during refueling can also be easily sprayed out. If exposed to an open flame, it can ignite immediately, resulting in severe consequences. 4. To prevent fires and unnecessary losses during the refueling process, always turn off the engine before refueling the vehicle.

Will the steering wheel become immovable if the car runs out of battery?

When the car runs out of battery, the steering wheel can still be turned. Relevant information is as follows: All electric power steering (EPS) and hydraulic power steering systems can be turned when there is no power or the engine is not running, although it will feel heavier. Frequent use in this condition may cause the steering gear rubber sleeve to age and accelerate wear. A crucial component of electric power steering is the steering mechanism. The EPS system is built on a mechanical foundation, meaning the electric system only provides additional assistance. Without power, the steering wheel can still be turned, but it requires significantly more effort. When the car is not started, turning the steering wheel is possible, though it will feel very heavy because the electric motor is not yet operational. From a safety perspective, this operation is permitted, unless the steering wheel is already locked.

Can the original lens of Arrizo 5 be equipped with LED lights?

Arrizo 5's original lens can be equipped with LED lights. Below is a relevant introduction about LED headlights: Introduction: An LED light is an electroluminescent semiconductor material chip, fixed to a bracket with silver or white adhesive, then connected to the circuit board with silver or gold wires, and sealed with epoxy resin around to protect the internal wires. Finally, the housing is installed, making LED lights highly shock-resistant. Notes: During installation, ensure the LED bulbs are placed horizontally left and right for better lighting effects and higher brightness. Additionally, apart from the position of the bulbs, the use of reflectors and lenses also affects the light spot presentation of the headlights. Factory-configured LED headlight models are designed to work with reflectors and lenses, which not only focus the light to illuminate farther but also project a more uniform light spot.

Does a Few Broken Tire Cords Have Any Impact?

Tire cord breakage has an impact and requires timely replacement. Below is expanded information about tire cords: Radial Tires: Radial tires are a structural form of tires, differing from bias-ply tires, arched tires, and pressure-adjusted tires, among others. History: The invention of radial tires was a revolution in the tire industry and has become a new direction in automotive tire development. Cord Arrangement: The cord arrangement in the carcass of radial tires is different from that in bias-ply tires. In radial tires, the cords are not arranged in a crisscross pattern but are nearly parallel to the tire cross-section, resembling the arrangement of Earth's meridians, with smaller cord angles. Materials: Depending on the materials used, radial tires can be categorized into three types: all-steel radial tires, semi-steel radial tires, and all-fiber radial tires.

What does a range of 170 kilometers mean?

A range of 170 kilometers means the maximum distance a vehicle can travel with the remaining fuel in the tank at a relatively economical speed is 170 kilometers. Below is more information about range: Classification: In general range tests, there are three range standards: NEDC, WLTP, and EPA. Currently, most domestic new energy vehicles in China adopt the NEDC standard, while WLTP and EPA are more commonly used abroad. NEDC: NEDC stands for New European Driving Cycle. As the name suggests, the current Ministry of Industry and Information Technology range standard is based on the European standard. The NEDC range test primarily simulates urban and suburban environments, with a ratio of 4:1. Due to the many influencing factors in actual road conditions, NEDC tests are mostly conducted on test benches. WLTP: WLTP stands for World Light Vehicle Test Procedure. Its most notable feature is that it largely relies on data monitored from real-world driving cycles while also providing a higher degree of feedback to road conditions.
