When parking, the steering wheel should be straightened. The hazards of not straightening the steering wheel after parking are as follows: 1. Damage to the steering system. If the steering wheel is not straightened when parking, the wheels will pull the steering tie rod and prevent it from returning to its original position. At the same time, the gears of the steering wheel and the rack of the steering tie rod will remain under stress. Over time, this can accelerate the aging or deformation of these components, leading to vehicle deviation and uneven tire wear. 2. Damage to the suspension system. When the steering wheel is not straightened, the wheels will have a certain inclination angle, causing the suspension system to tilt in one direction. This can lead to the aging of the shock-absorbing rubber in the suspension system, and play will develop at the connection points of the suspension's swing arms and links. The greater the play, the more severe the wear, creating a vicious cycle.

What procedures should be paid attention to when selling a used car?

Selling a used car requires attention to the transfer procedures. The following are the procedures to be aware of when selling a used car: 1. Cheap is not good: As the saying goes, there are no honest merchants in the used car market, and their main goal is to sell used cars at new car prices. Therefore, when encountering a car with a very low price or a large discount, be cautious. Compare across different platforms to ensure the used car is genuine. Also, inspect parts like the car body to avoid accident vehicles. 2. Deliberate delay in delivery by dealers: Dealers may delay the delivery date under the pretext of handling procedures, possibly to replace parts on the car. The best practice is to exchange money and goods simultaneously. If delay is unavoidable, inspect the car carefully upon the next pickup. 3. Odometer mileage: It is common for odometer mileage to be tampered with in used cars. Since the mileage directly affects the car's price, bring an experienced person to check wear on seats, steering wheel, gear lever, etc., and compare it with the displayed mileage to verify if the odometer has been adjusted.

Is 20 liters per 100 kilometers considered high fuel consumption?

20 liters per 100 kilometers is considered high fuel consumption. Here are some explanations regarding vehicle fuel consumption: 1. Temperature effects causing fuel consumption fluctuations: This is a normal phenomenon. Generally in winter when temperatures are low, fuel consumption increases somewhat, almost comparable to fuel consumption when using air conditioning in summer. This occurs because lower temperatures cause the engine to dissipate more heat. 2. Prolonged lack of vehicle maintenance: Dirty engine oil and air filters can also lead to increased fuel consumption. Contaminated oil provides poor lubrication, causing increased resistance in various moving engine components that require more energy to overcome, resulting in higher fuel consumption. 3. Insufficient tire pressure: Low tire pressure increases the contact area between tires and the road surface, increasing friction and thus driving resistance, which leads to higher fuel consumption.

What Should You Pay Attention to After Obtaining a Driver's License?

Precautions after obtaining a driver's license include not being allowed to drive on highways during the probationary period and issues related to driving qualifications during the probationary period. No Highway Driving During Probationary Period: From the day you obtain your driver's license, there is a one-year probationary period. During this probationary period, you are not allowed to drive on highways unless there is a driver with at least 3 years of driving experience sitting in the passenger seat. Driving Qualification Issues During Probationary Period: Drivers with a C1 license during the probationary period should note that if they accumulate 12 penalty points, their probationary driving qualification will be immediately revoked. For larger vehicle licenses above B class, if 6-12 points (less than 12 points) are accumulated during the probationary period, the probationary period will be extended by one year, and the driver must take the subject one exam within 30 days after the probationary period ends.

What kind of glue is used for repairing the sidewall of a tire?

Tire sidewall repairs use rubber. The following is an introduction about tires: 1. Introduction: A tire is a circular elastic rubber product assembled on various vehicles or machinery for rolling on the ground. 2. History: In 1845, R.W. Thomson, a civil engineer born in Scotland, invented the pneumatic tire and obtained a patent from the British government under the title "Improvement in the Wheels of Carriages and Other Vehicles." On December 10 of the same year, the first pneumatic tire was born. Tires are usually mounted on metal rims to support the vehicle body, cushion external impacts, achieve contact with the road surface, and ensure the vehicle's driving performance. 3. Function: Tires are often used under complex and harsh conditions. During operation, they endure various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperatures. Therefore, they must have high load-bearing performance, traction performance, and cushioning performance. At the same time, they are also required to have high wear resistance and flex resistance, as well as low rolling resistance and heat generation. Half of the world's rubber consumption is used for tire production, which shows the significant amount of rubber consumed by tires.
