The reasons for the steering wheel being hard to turn when the car is cold are: 1. The steering wheel lock is engaged; 2. The tires are stuck or squeezed; 3. Issues with the steering wheel rotation bearing; 4. Dirty power steering fluid increasing resistance; 5. Malfunction in the electro-hydraulic power steering system. The solutions for a hard-to-turn steering wheel when the car is cold are: 1. Turn the steering wheel while turning the key to start the car; 2. Top up the power steering fluid; 3. Replace the sealing ring and oil seal; 4. Replace the belt; 5. Remove obstacles around the tires; 6. Add lubricant; 7. Replace the steering wheel rotation bearing; 8. Inflate the tire pressure of the steering wheels; 9. Perform a four-wheel alignment.

What are the new physical requirements for a C1 driver's license?

All physical indicators must meet the requirements. 1. Height: Applicants for large buses, tractors, city buses, large trucks, or trolleybuses must be at least 155 cm tall. Applicants for medium-sized buses must be at least 150 cm tall; 2. Vision: For large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams, uncorrected or corrected visual acuity must reach 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. For other vehicle types, uncorrected or corrected visual acuity must reach 4.9 or above; 3. Color vision: No red-green color blindness; 4. Hearing: Must be able to distinguish the direction of sound at 50 cm from a tuning fork in each ear. Applicants with hearing impairments who can meet the above conditions with hearing aids may apply for a driver's license for small cars or small automatic transmission cars; 5. Upper limbs: Both thumbs must be intact, and each hand must have at least three other fingers intact, with normal limb and finger movement. However, applicants with missing fingertip segments or a missing right thumb may apply for a driver's license for small cars or small automatic transmission cars; 6. Lower limbs: Both lower limbs must be intact with normal movement function, and the length difference must not exceed 5 cm. However, applicants with a missing or non-functional left lower limb may apply for a driver's license for small automatic transmission cars. Applicants with missing or non-functional right lower limbs or both lower limbs but who can sit independently may apply for a driver's license for small automatic transmission passenger cars designated for the disabled; 7.

What is the problem with the car lights flashing?

The reasons for car lights flashing are: 1. Poor circuit contact; 2. Stabilizer failure; 3. Problems with the bulb or high-voltage pack. The maintenance methods for car headlights are: 1. Regularly check the sealing of the headlights. If the sealing ring between the diffuser lens and the reflector is damaged, replace it promptly; 2. Clean the reflector regularly. If it turns black and the light intensity decreases, replace it; 3. Regularly clean dust and stains from the bulb. The standards for adjusting car headlights are: 1. Drive the car onto a flat and open road; 2. Turn on the car headlights and adjust the low-beam light spot to about 30m from the car, ensuring the two light spots overlap; 3. Adjust the high-beam light spot to be parallel to the ground.

How Long Does It Take to Change the Engine Oil for a Car?

Changing the engine oil for a car takes about 10 minutes. The method for changing the engine oil is as follows: 1. Lift the car, remove the protective plate, and place a container with a capacity of about 10 liters below the oil drain screw; 2. Unscrew the oil drain screw, use an air gun to blow for two minutes at the oil filler port, tighten the oil drain screw after draining, and wipe it with a tissue to check for oil leaks; 3. Reinstall the protective plate, lower the car, and use a funnel to add oil through the oil filler port. The functions of engine oil include: lubrication, auxiliary cooling, cleaning, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion prevention, shock absorption, and wear resistance. Engine oil is categorized into mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, and full synthetic oil.

What are the reasons for the discrepancy between the odometer reading and the actual mileage?

The reasons for the discrepancy between the odometer reading and the actual mileage include a faulty odometer sensor, issues with the wiring between the sensor and the dashboard, or a malfunctioning dashboard pointer. Generally, the latter has a very low probability of occurring and can usually be ruled out. It is recommended that the driver visit a repair shop to have the odometer sensor inspected and replaced if necessary. Determining whether the issue is with the sensor or the dashboard: Disconnect the sensor connector, turn on the ignition, and locate the 2nd electrode connected to the brown wire with a red stripe in the connector. Use a homemade wire with a plug to extend it and lightly brush against a grounded part of the vehicle body to input a pulse signal to the dashboard. If the speedometer needle moves, it indicates that the dashboard is functioning properly. The fault lies with the sensor's reed switch or magnetic ring. If the speedometer needle does not move, it suggests an issue with the dashboard or the connecting wiring. Determining whether the issue is with the dashboard or the wiring: Remove the dashboard without disconnecting the plug, and use a multimeter to measure the three electrodes on the dashboard. Turn on the ignition, and check that the voltage from fuse No. 26 to the power supply line of the speedometer should be 12V when measured against the ground. Use the multimeter's resistance mode to measure; the resistance of the pulse signal line from the dashboard to the sensor connector should be zero, and the resistance of the ground electrode to the ground should also be zero. If the actual measurements do not match these three values, any short circuits in the wiring should be addressed. If the wiring is confirmed to be fault-free, the issue lies with the speedometer, which should be repaired or replaced as needed.
