Not straightening the wheels can easily cause unnecessary damage to the vehicle. The following are the effects of not straightening the wheels: 1. Accelerated aging of steering system components: When parking with the steering wheel not straightened, the tie rod will be pulled by the wheels and unable to return to its original position. At the same time, the steering wheel gears and the tie rod rack are also under stress. Over time, these parts will age or deform faster, which may lead to issues such as vehicle deviation and abnormal tire wear. 2. Increased risk of suspension system oil leakage and abnormal noises: When parking with the steering wheel not straightened, the wheels will have an inclination angle, and the suspension system will tilt in the direction of the wheel inclination. This creates stress on components such as rubber bushings, elastic struts, and rubber shock absorbers, preventing them from returning to their normal positions. Over time, this can cause the shock-absorbing rubber pads inside to age.

Which button opens the trunk?

Usually the trunk switch button is located above the driver's side door inside the cabin, while the emergency release is on the trunk door itself. Here's more information about car trunks: 1. Overview: Vehicle trunks come in different sizes. Typically, they contain the spare tire, first aid kit, onboard tool kit, warning triangle, fire extinguisher, car fridge, emergency fuel cap release cable, etc. Some premium models place the starter battery in the trunk. 2. Function: The rear section of vehicles provides impact absorption space that helps cushion collision energy during rear-end accidents. This proves particularly effective in minor-to-moderate collisions by dissipating crash forces and reducing passenger injuries.

Is It Necessary to Depress the Clutch When Braking in a Car?

Depressing the clutch when braking in a car is not mandatory. If the speed after braking can still match the current gear, there's no need to depress the clutch. However, in cases of emergency braking where the speed drops significantly, it's necessary to depress the clutch to downshift. When the vehicle speed decreases or during short-distance braking, if you stop applying the throttle and the speed drops to a certain point, only pressing the brake without depressing the clutch will cause the engine to stall. Therefore, during short-distance braking, simultaneously depressing both the clutch and brake pedals is the safest approach. Ideally, for short-distance braking, you should first press the brake to reduce speed and then depress the clutch before the engine stalls. This method is the most correct and beneficial for the car, but it's quite challenging to execute.

What does the engine oil grade 10w40 mean?

Engine oil grade 10w40 indicates a minimum applicable temperature of -25 degrees Celsius, with a kinematic viscosity of 14.5cst at 100 degrees Celsius. The number 10 represents the oil's minimum applicable temperature, W stands for Winter, and 40 denotes the oil's high-temperature viscosity. The number before W in the grade indicates the oil's low-temperature fluidity - the smaller the number, the better the low-temperature fluidity. The number after W represents the oil's viscosity grade at 100℃ - the larger this number, the better protection the oil provides for the engine at high temperatures. Engine oil is a substance enhanced with additives in base oil, mainly containing anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade oil viscosity index improvers, used for lubricating internal combustion engines.
