Generally, it is caused by the steering system operating under excessive load, leading to excessive wear of the stator and rotor inside the steering pump. This results in irregular movement of the fluid inside the pump, generating abnormal noises. Common issues with power steering failure include: heavy steering, abnormal steering noise, and steering system oil leakage. Immediately Release the Accelerator: First, immediately release the accelerator and shift the gear lever into a lower gear. Second, evenly apply the parking brake. Third, when the vehicle speed significantly decreases, press the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a gradual stop. Issue Warning Signals: While taking emergency measures, it is essential to alert other vehicles and pedestrians on the road by using warning signals, such as turning on hazard warning lights, headlights, honking the horn, or making hand gestures.

How to use the plus and minus signs on the S gear of an automatic transmission car?

Automatic transmission car S gear plus and minus signs are used for shifting gears up and down. The S gear is the car's sport mode. After engaging the S gear, the car will enter sport mode, providing stronger power and faster throttle response. The plus and minus signs next to the gear lever are used after engaging the M gear. The M gear is the manual mode of the automatic transmission. After engaging the M gear, you can use the gear lever to control the transmission to shift up or down. In rainy or foggy weather, if the road surface has poor traction, you can shift to the S or L position and keep it in a low gear. Do not use the automatic shifting position to prevent the car from skidding. At the same time, it is essential to remember that when skidding occurs, you can push the gear selector to the N position to cut off the engine's power to ensure driving safety.
