The reasons for hitting the left corner when reversing into the right parking space are as follows: 1. Turning the steering wheel too early when reversing to the right: When reversing to the right too early, observe the position between the car body and the right corner of the parking space. Normally, the distance between the car body and the right corner should be maintained at 30 cm to ensure that the distance between the car body and the side lines on both sides is roughly equal. If the steering wheel is turned too early, the distance between the car body and the right corner will be less than 30 cm, or even close to hitting the right corner. The standard width of the parking space line is 15 cm. In the rearview mirror, when the distance between the car body and the corner is approximately twice the width of the side line, it is 30 cm. 2. Correction method for turning the steering wheel too early when reversing to the right: Observe the distance between the right corner and the car body. If the distance is slightly less than 30 cm, you can turn the steering wheel back half a turn to reduce the reversing arc, thereby increasing the distance between the car body and the right corner. Watch through the rearview mirror as the car body is about to hit the corner. At this point, quickly straighten the steering wheel to allow the car to approach the parking space in a straight line, increasing the distance between the car body and the right corner.

What is the best engine oil for Roewe RX5?

Roewe RX5 is best suited for 5W-30 fully synthetic engine oil. Here are some extended details: 1. Introduction to engine oil: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (English name: Engine-oil), has a density of approximately 0.91×10³(kg/m³). It serves multiple functions such as lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leakage prevention, rust and corrosion protection, and shock absorption. It is often referred to as the "blood" of a car. 2. Extended information: The engine is the heart of a car, containing many metal surfaces that move against each other in friction. These components operate at high speeds under harsh conditions, with working temperatures reaching 400°C to 600°C. In such extreme operating conditions, only qualified lubricating oil can reduce wear on engine parts and extend their service life. Engine oils on the market can be broadly categorized into mineral oils and synthetic oils based on their base oil (vegetable oils are not considered due to their scarcity).

Using 95 octane gasoline in a car rated for 92 octane has the following impacts: 1. It can damage the engine, spark plugs, and the vehicle's ignition system; 2. It may shorten the engine's lifespan. Gasoline is a volatile, flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid derived from the distillation, cracking, or pyrolysis of petroleum, used as fuel. It is classified by its octane rating into 89, 90, 92, 93, and 95 octane. The reasons for a gasoline smell inside the car include: 1. Overfilling the gas tank; 2. Leakage in the fuel pump; 3. Aging of rubber gasoline lines; 4. Incomplete combustion during cold starts; 5. Residuals not cleaned during fuel pump replacement; 6. Aging or uneven gasket in the fuel tank cap; 7.

What does the SVS indicator light on the car dashboard mean?

Car dashboard indicator light SVS refers to the engine fault indicator light. When the vehicle's ignition key is turned on, the light illuminates and will turn off after the vehicle is started. If the engine ECU detects a fault, the SVS light will illuminate. If the light comes on while the vehicle is in motion, it indicates that there is a fault with the vehicle's engine. The SVS light is a standard indicator in the automotive industry, responsible for warning of abnormalities in the powertrain system and prompting users to take the vehicle to a service shop for inspection and repair. Its alarm originates from the engine, transmission, and gear shift control mechanism. All fuel-injected vehicles have an SVS fault indicator light; for manual transmissions, it serves as the engine fault indicator light, while for automatic transmissions, it serves as the engine and automatic transmission fault indicator light.

Can the EA211 Timing Belt Last for 300,000 Kilometers?

Can the EA211 timing belt last for 300,000 kilometers? The official replacement mileage for the EA211 timing belt is indeed 300,000 kilometers. However, the official maintenance manual specifies that the belt should be serviced when the vehicle reaches 90,000 kilometers, followed by inspections every 30,000 kilometers thereafter. If any abnormalities are detected, replacement is necessary. Precautions for Timing Belt Replacement: When replacing the timing belt, ensure that the operator follows the correct procedures. Do not bend the timing belt forcefully, as this can cause severe internal fiber fractures in the belt's cross-section, significantly reducing its lifespan. During installation, the tensioner pulley must be adjusted properly—avoid using a wrench or hard objects to pry the belt into place. When to Replace the Timing Belt: If you notice cracks on the surface of the timing belt, a strong rubber odor, or unusual noises while driving, it may indicate aging or improper installation. Additionally, check whether the belt's quality and tooth profile meet standards and match the generator's timing pulley. In such cases, replacing the timing belt should be considered.
