Door handle not retracting smoothly is due to lack of lubricant or a faulty door handle spring. During the use of the car, it may be because the door handle has been used for too long, accumulating a lot of dust inside. There is a spring inside the door handle, which is a return spring. If the handle is used for a long time, the return tension of the spring may become insufficient, also causing the spring not to retract. The design of door handles varies among different car brands. The door handles used in cars are divided into two types: solid door handles and hollow door handles. The characteristic of solid door handles is that they are relatively thick; hollow door handles are designed with the back hollowed out, improving the issue of handle bending.

What is the function of the rear axle main reducer in a car?

The main reducer serves to alter the direction of power transmission, provide a common gear ratio for all gears as an extension of the transmission, and reduce speed while increasing torque. The specific functions of the main reducer are as follows: 1. Introduction: The main reducer is a mechanism within the drive axle that changes torque and rotational speed. Its primary function is to increase the torque from the transmission or universal drive while reducing speed and altering the direction of torque transmission. The main reducer consists of one or several pairs of reduction gears. Power is input through the driving gear and output via the driven gear. 2. Classification by number: Based on the number of gears involved in the reduction drive, it can be divided into single-stage main reducers and two-stage main reducers. Except for some medium and heavy-duty vehicles requiring large reduction ratios that use two-stage main reducers, most micro, light, and medium-duty vehicles generally employ single-stage main reducers.

What Are the Tricks for Removing Overspray from Car Windows?

Here are some tricks for removing overspray from car windows: 1. For partially dried overspray: You can remove it along with the sludge. First, wash the overspray on the car body with car shampoo, then gently wipe the affected area. Be careful not to apply too much pressure to avoid scratching the paint with tiny particles. Stop once the overspray is completely removed. 2. For fully dried overspray: The process is more complicated than the above. Clean any sand or dirt from the car paint surface, then use polishing sandpaper to sand off the overspray. Follow up with polishing to restore the original gloss of the paint. If possible, consider a full car paint maintenance treatment.

Is making a U-turn over a solid white line considered a traffic violation?

Making a U-turn over a solid white line is considered a traffic violation. The solid white line in the middle of the road serves as a central divider. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," violators will be fined 200 yuan and receive 3 penalty points. Generally, on long roads, solid white lines are often found in the middle sections or before intersections. If the line is a yellow dashed line or a white dashed line, U-turns are allowed. However, U-turns are strictly prohibited over any solid line. Permissible situations for making a U-turn: Intersections with U-turn signs: If there is a clear U-turn sign at an intersection, a U-turn is allowed. If there is a U-turn traffic light, drivers must follow its instructions. In the absence of a traffic light, U-turns can be made based on the specific situation, provided they do not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians. Intersections without explicit "No U-turn" or "No Left Turn" signs: If there is no explicit prohibition against U-turns, they are allowed. "No explicit prohibition" means the absence of "No U-turn" or "No Left Turn" signs and the absence of solid lines in the middle of the road. In such cases, U-turns are permitted. Yellow grid lines also allow U-turns: Yellow grid lines are no-parking zones, typically marked at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary parking, important facility entrances, and other necessary locations. Stopping on these grid lines (including waiting for traffic lights) is a violation. However, while parking is prohibited in yellow grid zones, U-turns are allowed. As long as there is no central barrier, yellow grid lines are equivalent to "U-turn permitted." Intersections with U-turn traffic lights: This is straightforward—if there is a U-turn traffic light, drivers must wait for the green light to make a U-turn. When "No Left Turn" and "U-turn Permitted" signs appear together: U-turns are allowed, but left turns are prohibited. Note that "No U-turn" is not the same as "No Left Turn." Things to note when making a U-turn at an intersection: Observe road markings. If the line is solid, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances. Drivers should continue forward to find a suitable location for a U-turn. If there is a "No Left Turn" sign ahead, even if there is no mention of "No U-turn," U-turns are not allowed at that intersection because U-turns and left turns are similar maneuvers, and U-turns always involve a left turn first. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. If the vehicle is in the second left-turn lane, U-turns are not permitted at that intersection. When making a U-turn, drivers must yield to oncoming traffic and proceed only if it does not interfere with the normal flow of vehicles. Otherwise, they will bear full responsibility for any accidents. Near intersection stop lines, lanes often have guiding arrows to help drivers choose the correct lane. The leftmost lane does not always have a left-turn arrow. On some roads, if the arrow indicates straight ahead, U-turns are not allowed, even if there are no explicit "No U-turn" signs. U-turns must not be made on pedestrian crosswalks, as this is also a traffic violation.

What is the ideal wattage for car LED headlights?

Car LED headlights with 70 to 90W are most suitable. The maintenance tips for car LED headlights are as follows: 1. Check the sealing of the headlights: If moisture invades the headlights, the lifespan of the bulbs may be shortened. Therefore, the sealing characteristics of the headlights should be checked. If the sealing ring between the lens and reflector is found damaged, it should be replaced immediately. 2. Clean the reflector: When the reflector of a semi-sealed headlight turns black and the brightness decreases, it needs to be replaced. If there is only dust and stains on the reflector, cleaning is sufficient without replacement. For reflectors that cannot be completely cleaned by blowing, anhydrous ethanol can be used for wiping. If the reflector is coated with gold or aluminum film, it can be wiped with clean water. 3. Adjust the direction of the light beam: During driving, the direction of the light beam may shift due to the vibration of the vehicle body. Therefore, it is necessary to check the direction of the headlight beam during the annual inspection. During regular maintenance, professional technicians may also need to periodically inspect and adjust the beam direction.
