BMW power steering systems can be broadly divided into two categories: one is the hydraulic power steering system, and the other is the electronic power steering system. 1. Hydraulic power steering system. Common causes of the "Power steering failure" warning include: 1. Low power steering fluid, such as hydraulic pipe leakage or damage to the fluid reservoir. 2. Faulty wiring or control of the ECO valve (electronic flow control valve). 3. Power steering pump failure. 4. AL control unit failure. 2. Electronic power steering system. Common causes of the "Power steering failure" warning include: 1. False alarm. You can try stopping the car, turning off the engine, waiting for 10 minutes, and then restarting. 2. Damaged steering torque sensor. 3. Defective or damaged steering gear. 4. Damaged reducer. 5. EPS control unit failure. 6. Faulty wheel speed sensor. 7. DSC control module failure. 8. Wiring faults or poor contact in steering system components, such as loose sensor connectors.

What are the requirements for the single-plank bridge driving test?

The single-plank bridge driving test requires the driver to maneuver the vehicle so that the left and right wheels pass over two pillow-shaped protrusions with a slope of less than 7% consecutively. This mainly assesses the driver's ability to control the position of the vehicle's wheels and the driving trajectory. In actual driving, it is difficult to master the position and trajectory of the wheels, requiring prolonged practice. Additional information: The position of the right bridge corresponds to the usual trajectory of the right front tire. To correctly pass the bridge, it is essential to understand the width of the car and the positional relationship between the driver's seat and the right tire. When parking, go to the front of the car and extend a line from the position of the right front wheel to the front of the car. Then, draw another extended line in front of the driver's seat. Return to the driver's seat and carefully observe the positional sensation of these two lines from the driving position.

Can an expired driver's license receive penalty points?

An expired driver's license cannot receive penalty points. The points on a driver's license are calculated annually. The following explains the relevant regulations on driver's licenses: 1. Fine payment: (after renewing the license) For example, a license that expires on January 2nd of this year can receive up to 11 points (for a Class C license; for licenses above Class C, the holder must attend education) before January 2nd. The fines for the penalty points must be paid on January 1st to ensure the points are automatically reset to 12 on January 2nd. The key point is that the fines must be paid. 2. Timely renewal: An expired license without renewal is equivalent to driving without a license. However, it can be renewed within one year of expiration, but a retest is required. Points can only be deducted after renewing the license.

What is the normal tire pressure for Geely Boyue?

The tire pressure for Geely Boyue is 220kpa, and the generally recommended normal tire pressure is between 220kpa-250kpa. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the tire pressure for different types of tires is as follows: standard tires should be 2.4-2.5bar; reinforced tires should be 2.8-2.9bar; while the maximum pressure should not exceed 3.5bar. However, due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure may fluctuate within the standard range. In winter, the tire pressure should be based on the standard tire pressure of the car, with an appropriate increase of about 0.2bar. In summer, the tire pressure can generally be set at the lower limit of the standard tire pressure, such as 2.4bar for standard tires. If the car is often parked outdoors, the tire pressure can generally be about 0.1bar lower than the standard to avoid tire blowouts due to high temperatures.

What are the regulations for rear seat seatbelt usage?

According to Article 51 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, both motor vehicle drivers and passengers must wear seatbelts, regardless of whether they are seated in the front or rear of the vehicle. The regulation requires that seatbelts be worn as soon as passengers enter the vehicle. Below is relevant legal information regarding seatbelt usage: 1. Penalty for not wearing a seatbelt in the rear seat: On highways, passengers not wearing seatbelts will be fined 20 RMB. When a vehicle is in motion, passengers not wearing seatbelts will be fined 5 RMB. On urban roads where the speed does not exceed 50 km/h, traffic police may issue a verbal warning to passengers not wearing seatbelts, requiring them to fasten their seatbelts immediately. 2. Penalty for rear passengers not wearing seatbelts falls on the driver: Currently, rear seat seatbelt usage is a hot topic, and penalties vary by region. It is essential to follow local specific policies. However, in most areas, the driver is penalized, so it is crucial not to take any chances.

What are the acceptance standards for engine overhaul completion?

Automobile engine overhaul completion acceptance standards: 1. Good power performance, stable idle operation, reasonable fuel consumption, normal lubrication of components, and proper functioning of accessories. 2. No water leakage, oil leakage, air leakage, or electrical leakage is allowed. 3. The engine should be able to start within 5 seconds at normal temperature, with stable operation at low, medium, and high speeds. Water temperature should not exceed 90 degrees Celsius, with good acceleration performance. 4. There should be no misfiring, carburetor backfiring, or exhaust pipe popping. After stable engine operation, there should be no abnormal noises, but slight and uniform timing gear, engine oil pump transmission gear noise, and valve tappet sounds are allowed. 5. Cylinder pressure must meet specified limits. 6. Engine oil pressure must meet specified limits. 7. Engine emissions must comply with regulations, and minimum fuel consumption must meet specified limits. 8. Painting must be done according to specifications. 9. After passing inspection, the engine must be installed with a speed limiter.

Can Tires Be Replaced One by One?

Tires can be replaced one by one. Here are some considerations for tire replacement: 1. Pay attention to the front and back sides of the tire: The so-called front and back sides of the tire specifically refer to which side needs to face outward. The tread pattern that appears the same on both sides actually has a direction. If installed incorrectly, it may cause uneven tire wear. When installing the tire, simply install the side with numbers facing the front of the hub. However, different manufacturers have different labeling methods. For example, some brand tires will mark "OUTSIDE" on the sidewall of the tire. After installing the tire, there is another essential step, which is to adjust the dynamic balance. 2. Pay attention to the distinction between new and old tires: The difference between new and old tires is obvious when placed together. The depth of the tread pattern and the color of the rubber are distinctly different. The small particles on the new tire and the hairs on the sidewall indicate that the tire has not been driven on, which is a sign of a brand-new tire.
