The steps for a four-wheel alignment: 1. Drive the vehicle onto the four-post alignment lift and check the tire pressure and vehicle height; 2. After lifting all four wheels off the ground, inspect the tires for irregular wear or deformation. If the wear meets the standard, measure whether the steering ball joints are loose and check if the lengths of the left and right tie rods are consistent; 3. Inspect the upper and lower suspension, stabilizer bar, subframe, and chassis for deformation or looseness; 4. Check the rear axle, lateral assist rod, and rear tie rod for deformation and whether the rubber bushings are loose; 5. If no abnormalities are found, lower the vehicle and shake it several times to confirm the suspension system is in normal condition, then remove the four-wheel alignment locking pins.

What does 'white low, yellow high, black suggestion' mean?

On the road, yellow suggests slowing down, 'high' indicates a highway ahead, white represents a ramp, black means stop, and 'low' refers to low-frequency honking. Driving precautions are as follows: 1. Prevent fatigue driving: Fatigue reduces a driver's judgment, slows reaction times, increases operational errors, leads to untimely or inaccurate gear shifts, and may even cause brief sleep episodes, resulting in loss of vehicle control. 2. Never drive under the influence of alcohol: Alcohol increases blood alcohol concentration, leading to central nervous system paralysis, reduced rationality and self-control, impaired vision, narrowed field of view, lack of concentration, and weakened balance, causing delayed responses and sluggish actions when operating brakes, acceleration, or clutch pedals. 3. The dangers of speeding: Speeding causes mental stress, consumes significant psychological and physical energy, reduces vision, narrows the field of view, and impairs judgment, directly affecting the driver's operational stability.

Which has a higher accident rate, motorcycles or cars?

Motorcycles have a relatively lower accident rate. Although the consequences of motorcycle accidents can be severe, due to their large base number and the fact that many are in rural and town areas, the probability of traffic accidents is not as frequent as in cities. Motorcycle: A motorcycle is a two- or three-wheeled vehicle powered by a gasoline engine and steered by handlebars controlling the front wheel. It is lightweight, flexible, and fast, widely used for patrolling, passenger and cargo transportation, and also serves as sports equipment. Car: A car is a non-track vehicle powered by an engine with four or more wheels, mainly used for: transporting people and/or goods; towing vehicles carrying people and/or goods; and special purposes.

Is It Normal for the Charging Plug of New Energy Vehicles to Get Hot?

It is abnormal for the charging plug of new energy vehicles to get hot. The development of new energy vehicles is progressing rapidly, and the issue of charging plugs overheating in early models has been addressed through the following three improvements: Special Materials: Modern new energy vehicles use new high-temperature-resistant materials for charging interfaces. These materials not only withstand high temperatures but also have excellent heat dissipation properties, significantly reducing heat generation at the charging interface. Thermal Management Chip: A thermal management chip is installed on the circuit module of the charging interface. When the vehicle is charging, this chip controls the current input to the charging interface. Cooling Fan: New energy vehicles are equipped with built-in cooling fans at the charging interface. When the interface temperature reaches a warning threshold, the fan actively cools the interface, making the heat issue fully controllable.

Is a motorcycle that has been in the factory for two years considered a stock vehicle?

A motorcycle that has been in the factory for two years is considered a stock vehicle. Although there is no clear legal definition for stock vehicles, there is indeed a term called "stock vehicle" in the motor vehicle sales industry, which generally refers to motor vehicles that have been in stock for more than a year without being sold. Here are the specific details about stock vehicles: Prone to moisture and aging: After a new vehicle leaves the factory, various fluids, electronic components, batteries, rubber seals, and tires, if left parked for a long time without periodic inspection and maintenance, are prone to erosion from moisture and aging. Component aging: For stock vehicles parked for too long, if there is no proper warehouse management, the aging degree of electronic components and rubber products is basically undetectable without professional testing equipment. Many vehicles that have been in stock for too long also experience issues like lack of oil or power.

Where is the motorcycle rectifier located?

Different models have different installation positions for the rectifier. It is mostly installed in several locations such as under the fuel tank or seat on the upper part of the frame, on the left and right sides of the frame, or under the front cover of the frame. Function: If the motorcycle's engine does not go through the rectifier, the voltage will be lower and fluctuate greatly with the engine speed, which can easily damage electrical components such as the ignition coil and bulbs. The rectifier acts as a voltage regulator, maintaining the voltage between 11 to 12.5 volts after passing through it. Symptoms of a faulty rectifier: The headlights may be dim or not work at all, and the motorcycle may fail to start using the electric ignition. Timely repair or replacement is necessary.

How Many Kilometers Should a New Energy Vehicle Be Maintained?

Both pure electric and hybrid models require regular maintenance. The maintenance for pure electric models is relatively simple, with the first maintenance generally required at around 5,000 kilometers, followed by maintenance every 10,000 kilometers, though this may vary slightly between different models. The maintenance cycle for hybrid models is basically the same as that for fuel-powered vehicles, typically requiring a routine maintenance every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers or every six months to a year. Below is additional information: Maintenance items for pure electric models: The maintenance for pure electric models mainly involves daily care for the battery pack and electric motor, primarily focusing on inspection and troubleshooting. Of course, other items such as the brake system, cooling system, and shock absorber system also require regular inspection and maintenance. Maintenance items for hybrid models: The maintenance for hybrid models is largely similar to that for fuel-powered vehicles. The same engine maintenance items required for traditional fuel-powered vehicles cannot be omitted, and attention must also be paid to the daily care and inspection of the battery pack and electric motor.
