Steering wheel vibration when speed exceeds 100 km/h is caused by wheel imbalance, requiring a wheel balancing service. Wheel balancing ensures tires maintain relative stability during high-speed rotation for normal vehicle operation. After tire repairs, uneven weight distribution occurs, necessitating balancing weights to restore stability. Symptoms of imbalanced tires include severe bumpiness, abnormal vibrations, steering pull, irregular handling, increased fuel consumption, and uneven tire wear. Whenever these symptoms appear or after installing new tires, immediate wheel balancing is essential to ensure proper vehicle performance.

Having driven for over a decade, I've found that steering wheel vibration at speeds above 100 km/h is most commonly caused by tire imbalance or uneven tire pressure. When tires are worn or wheel balancing is off, uneven forces at high speeds lead to shaking. I once encountered this issue during a long-distance trip—turned out the old tires had deformed, and replacing them fixed the problem. Additionally, bent rims or aging suspension components like leaking shock absorbers can also contribute to the shaking. I recommend regular wheel alignments and tire checks instead of waiting until the shaking starts—safe driving brings peace of mind. Pay attention to unusual sounds and sensations while driving daily for early prevention. Also, inspect tire conditions during car washes to spot and address issues early, saving both hassle and money.

How to Turn Off the Engine Auto Start-Stop?

Methods to turn off the auto start-stop are as follows: 1. Press the auto start-stop button directly (a circular arrow containing the letter A), and the dashboard will indicate that the system is turned off. 2. If you want to use this function again, press the button to turn it back on. 3. After turning on the auto start-stop, pressing the brake pedal slightly harder will turn off the engine, and pressing the brake again will start the engine, thereby saving fuel. The following are the disadvantages of auto start-stop: 1. Higher maintenance costs for the battery and starter: Frequent engine starts and stops can damage related components, such as the starter and battery. Although vehicles with auto start-stop systems use enhanced starters and batteries, in actual use, their failure rates are higher than those of ordinary vehicles without auto start-stop systems. 2. Poor user experience: Different models from various brands have different designs for the auto start-stop system. Some models have poor start-stop logic, with inaccurate intervention timing. Sometimes, the system does not activate even during prolonged stops. 3. More fuel consumption in traffic jams: In severe traffic jams, if the engine stops for a long time, the combustion chamber temperature drops, and unburned hydrocarbons and paraffin can form carbon deposits on the cylinder walls. If the fuel quality is poor, the situation can worsen. Carbon deposits increase fuel consumption and reduce power. The auto start-stop function, designed to reduce fuel consumption, may instead increase it.

What is the appropriate slope height for car passage at the entrance?

Generally, it should not exceed 15%. The straight gentle slope within 3.6 meters at the entrance and exit should be 7.5%, and the curved gentle slope within 2.4 meters should also be 7.5%. This prevents the front and rear chassis of the vehicle from scraping. Relevant introduction to car ramp slopes: Straight ramp: The ramp width should not be less than 1200, and the slope should not exceed 1:12. Double-turn ramp: The ramp width is 1200, the slope is 1:12, and the depth of the ramp start, end, and rest platform is 1500. L-shaped ramp: The ramp width is 1200, the slope is less than 1:12, and the depth of the ramp start, end, and rest platform is 1500. Slopes greater than 10%: When the slope exceeds 10%, gentle slopes should be set at both the upper and lower ends. The horizontal length of the straight gentle slope section should not be less than 3.6m, and the gentle slope gradient should be half of the ramp slope. The horizontal length of the curved gentle slope section should not be less than 2.4m, the curve radius should not be less than 20m, and the midpoint of the gentle slope section should be the original start or end point of the ramp.
