Here are the must-have items for a car: 1. Jack; Warning triangle; Vehicle tool kit; 2. Flashlight; Fire extinguisher; Jumper cables; Tow strap. Here are the reasons: 1. For frequent drivers, in addition to the vehicle's performance, the equipment in the car is also crucial. 2. Driving requires not only comfort but also safety. With these tools, car owners can more easily handle problems when they arise, saving economic and time costs associated with rescue services. In emergency situations, these tools can help car owners resolve issues promptly.

Every time I go out driving, I always prepare some safety-related items in the car, especially when I have kids, it's even more important to be thorough. A spare tire and a jack are absolutely essential—last time I had a flat tire on the highway and it almost caused a big problem. I keep a first aid kit with bandages, disinfectant, and painkillers to handle minor injuries promptly. The triangular warning sign is placed in an easily accessible spot in the trunk, so in case of an accident, it can alert vehicles behind and prevent rear-end collisions. I also prepare a reflective vest and a high-brightness flashlight to enhance visibility when driving at night. Additionally, I keep a tow rope and a small toolkit, including screwdrivers and pliers, so I can handle simple repairs without needing help. Water and snacks like biscuits are stored long-term, so I won’t go hungry during traffic jams. A fire extinguisher is also a must-have, allowing me to control small fires immediately. All these items combined give me peace of mind while driving, making my trips more carefree.

Which fuse is for the Chery QQ3 wiper?

The fuse for the Chery QQ3 wiper is located in the fuse box under the steering wheel. Below are detailed explanations about it: 1. Explanation one: The purpose of the fuse is to prevent circuit overload. Vehicles usually have two fuse boxes, each responsible for protecting different circuits. 2. Explanation two: There are two types of automotive fuses: high-current and low-current fuses. However, medium and low-current fuses are more common in cars, and the wiper fuse belongs to the blade-type fuse. 3. Explanation three: Always use the wiper when there is rain. The wiper blade is designed to clear rainwater from the windshield. Do not use it when there is no rain, and never operate it dry. Running the wiper without water increases friction resistance, which can damage the rubber wiper blade and the wiper motor.

How far should the front of the car be from the wall to avoid hitting it when turning the steering wheel to the full lock?

As for the question of how far the front of the car should be from the wall to avoid hitting it when turning the steering wheel to the full lock, it actually depends on the length of the vehicle and the timing of turning the wheel. If the car is longer, the distance from the wall should be greater. Similarly, if the steering is turned earlier, the car should also be farther from the wall. Therefore, there is no fixed value for this distance. Additional information is as follows: 1. Technique: You can treat the inner corner as the wall corner. Before entering the curve, first drive close to the right side of the lane, aligning the right 1/3 of the car hood with the right edge of the road, ensuring the right side of the car is about 30 cm from the edge. When the left rearview mirror is parallel to the inner corner, you can turn the steering wheel fully to the left. At this point, the car will not hit the inner corner, meaning it won't hit the wall corner. 2. Vehicle condition: In reality, the width of the road is wider than that in the driving test (Subject Two), so following the Subject Two method ensures you won't scrape the wall corner in real situations. If turning the steering wheel fully to the left, always monitor the front of the car and the rearview mirror, constantly checking the condition of the left side of the car. Slow down or even stop if necessary. Similarly, if turning the steering wheel fully to the right, observe the right front of the car and the right rearview mirror, and check through the rear window if needed.

Why is the Cruze steering wheel too heavy?

1. Insufficient power steering fluid/oil: Power steering fluid is a medium oil used in the car's power steering pump, which plays a role in transmitting steering force and buffering. The power steering fluid needs to be replaced regularly, and checked for leaks. When the power steering fluid is insufficient, the steering will become heavy and stiff. 2. Low tire pressure: Low tire pressure increases the contact area between the tire and the road surface, increasing friction and making steering more difficult, resulting in a heavy steering wheel, which is not conducive to driving safety. 3. Overly tight bearing fit: If the rolling bearings and sliding bearings connected to the steering system are too tightly fitted, it can lead to poor lubrication of the bearings, causing sticking phenomena.

What does 'look' mean on a car?

look is the position where the key is pulled out, and the steering wheel is locked at the same time; look means lock. If it is marked on the gear lever of the transmission, it refers to the differential lock, and if it is on the door, it refers to the door lock. This is an electronically controlled car lock, which is an internal set of motor-driven devices that help the driver open the door without a key. It can remotely unlock the door, making it more convenient. The car ignition switch has four positions: START, ON, ACC, and LOCK: 1. LOCK state: After locking the car, the key will be in the LOCK state. At this time, the key not only locks the steering but also cuts off the power supply of the entire vehicle. 2. ACC state: The ACC state connects the power supply of some electrical equipment in the car, such as the radio, CD, air conditioning, etc. 3. ON state: During normal driving, the key is in the ON state, and all circuits in the car are working. 4. START: The START position is the engine starting position. After starting, it will automatically return to the normal state, which is the ON position.

What are the symptoms of excessively high SCR inlet exhaust temperature?

Symptoms of excessively high SCR inlet exhaust temperature include flashing warning lights, MIL light illumination, and no AdBlue consumption. Below are the specific causes of excessively high SCR inlet exhaust temperature: 1. Engine-related factors: The ignition system, fuel supply system, air supply system, and vehicle secondary combustion system can all affect the combustion products, thereby influencing exhaust parameters. 2. Damaged three-way catalytic converter: Poor pollutant conversion leads to exhaust test data falling outside the standard range, usually caused by the three-way catalytic converter. It may be damaged, and it is recommended to replace the three-way catalytic converter before retesting.

What is the difference between the waiting-to-turn and turning hand signals?

When pulling over to the side, extend your right arm and hand straight, raising them at about a 45-degree angle, then extend and raise your left arm overhead while swinging your right arm to the right. The waiting-to-turn signal simply involves swinging the arm on the side you intend to turn (left or right) up and down between 0 and 90 degrees relative to your body. The left-turn signal is performed by extending the arm horizontally straight, while the waiting-to-turn signal involves extending the arm at a downward angle. The "pull over" signal and the "signal for illegal vehicles to pull over" have been combined into a single "signal for vehicles to pull over." Similarly, the "go straight" and "go straight and accelerate" signals have been merged into a single "go straight" signal. The differences between the left-turn waiting signal and the slow-down signal are as follows: 1. The correct method to enter the left-turn waiting area is: when the straight-ahead signal is green but the left-turn signal is red, vehicles should wait at the intersection stop line for the signal to proceed; when the straight-ahead signal turns green, left-turning vehicles can then enter the left-turn waiting area to await the signal to proceed. 2. When the left-turn signal turns green: vehicles waiting in the waiting area should promptly proceed through the intersection. Drivers should take special care not to enter the waiting area when the straight-ahead or left-turn signals are red, as this disrupts the normal flow of traffic from other directions. 3. Lanes: Left small turns and left large turns are simply driving lanes set up based on existing intersection conditions, but drivers should choose the appropriate lane based on the size and height of their vehicle. Therefore, correctly distinguishing between the left-turn waiting signal and the pull-over signal is especially important in daily driving.
