The reasons for the heavy electronic power steering wheel of the Sylphy Classic include: excessive tightness between the rolling bearings and sliding bearings connected to the steering system, the pump pressure of the power steering pump failing to meet the standard value, low hydraulic pressure of the steering gear, and air mixed in the steering system. Excessive tightness between the rolling bearings and sliding bearings connected to the steering system can reduce the lubrication effect of the bearings, leading to sticking phenomena, which manifests as a heavy steering wheel. Lubricating oil can be added. When the pump pressure of the power steering pump fails to meet the standard value, the steering wheel may feel heavy during use. Check the flow control valve; during driving, leaks in the flow control valve or safety valve can be repaired by grinding, followed by checking if the spring of the safety valve has failed. The pump pressure can be adjusted at a 4S shop. When the hydraulic pressure of the steering gear is low, the steering wheel may also feel heavy. If the steering wheel becomes heavy due to steering oil pressure, it is necessary to promptly go to a repair shop for maintenance. When air is mixed in the car's steering system, not only does the steering become heavy, but there will also be noise during the steering process. It needs to be addressed promptly to avoid unnecessary losses later.

Is the Information Synchronized Between Traffic Management 12123 and the Vehicle Management Office?

The information between Traffic Management 12123 and the vehicle management office is not necessarily synchronized. The traffic violation penalty information on Traffic Management 12123 comes from the traffic police team's vehicle management office. The penalty results found on 12123 are the same as those from the vehicle management office. Apart from the difference in update speed, the information on 12123 and the vehicle management office is identical. Below is relevant information: 1. 12123: "Traffic Management 12123" is the official mobile client application of the Ministry of Public Security's internet-based comprehensive traffic safety service management platform (hereinafter referred to as the internet platform), developed and supported by the Traffic Management Research Institute of the Ministry of Public Security. This software serves vehicle owners and drivers nationwide. 2. Development Prospects: Traffic management departments, relying on the "Traffic Management 12123" mobile APP and the internet-based comprehensive traffic safety service management platform, have introduced a new initiative for online binding and self-processing of traffic violations for non-personally owned vehicles, in addition to the existing window and self-service processing of traffic violations. Because this platform can significantly reduce waiting time and travel costs at traffic violation processing windows, Beijing has seen 740,000 new registered users of the system in just over three months.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Fengjun 7?

The fuel tank capacity of the Great Wall Fengjun 7 is 70 liters, which is the officially announced data. The Great Wall Fengjun 7 uses 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 7.9L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of 886km. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. Generally, the fuel level is observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge on the dashboard usually has 5 to 6 segments. It is recommended to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit, and there is still some space from the safe limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to ensure that the fuel inside the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing. If the fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the marked fuel tank capacity.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Toyota Yaris L in liters?

Toyota Yaris L offers a total of 5 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 42 liters. The entire lineup features an 8-speed continuously variable transmission (CVT), and all models adopt a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. Among vehicles in the same class, the Vios 2022 1.5L CVT Xing CARE Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 42 liters, while the Fit 2021 1.5L CVT Qi Edition has a 40-liter fuel tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated volume. This occurs because the fuel tank capacity marked by automakers measures from the tank bottom to the safety level, with additional space remaining between the safety level and the tank opening. This space ensures that fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing the tank. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual fuel quantity may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E and F. When the needle approaches E, it indicates the fuel is nearly depleted, while nearing F signifies sufficient fuel.

Is it harmful if a tire runs over and breaks a glass bottle?

Whether glass shards damage car tires depends on the situation. If the glass shards the tire runs over are not sharp, the tire is generally fine. This is because car tires often encounter small stones and glass fragments during driving, and the tread structure of car tires is quite robust, containing steel wires inside. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface leads to higher fuel consumption; factors such as increased tendency to veer, which are detrimental to driving safety; increased movement in various parts of the tire causes abnormal heating due to excessive rolling; reduced functionality of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction between the tire and rim causing damage to the bead area and abnormal wear; The friction between the tire and the ground multiplies, causing a sharp rise in tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving under these conditions may lead to a blowout; increased deformation of the tire body makes the sidewalls prone to cracking, while flexing movements generate excessive heat, accelerating rubber aging, fatigue of the cord layers, and cord breakage. It also increases the tire's contact area with the ground, hastening wear on the tire shoulders.

What is the reason why the Focus does not move in reverse gear?

The reason why the Focus does not move in reverse gear may be due to operational errors or the synchronizer in the transmission being stuck. Below is an introduction to reverse gear: Gear introduction: Reverse gear is a driving gear available in all cars, usually marked with a capital letter R. After engaging reverse gear, the vehicle's direction of travel will be opposite to that of the forward gear, enabling the car to move backward. When the driver moves the gear lever to the reverse position, the direction of the engine's power input remains unchanged, while the reverse output gear inside the transmission connects with the output shaft, driving the output shaft to rotate in the opposite direction, ultimately causing the wheels to rotate backward for reversing. In manual transmission models with five forward gears, the reverse gear is usually located behind the fifth gear, equivalent to the position of a "sixth" gear; some are set in an independent gear area, commonly seen in models with more than six forward gears; others are placed directly below the first gear, requiring the gear lever to be pressed down one layer to move below the original first gear position, such as in older Jetta models. Main purpose: The function of reverse gear is simple and singular—it allows the vehicle to move in the opposite direction, enabling backward movement. However, this function is indispensable for any car. In manual transmission models, reverse gear also has a hill-holding function. When parking on a downhill slope, the drive shaft can be mechanically locked by engaging reverse gear.
