Reversing into a parking space with the left side narrower and the right side wider is because the steering wheel was turned a bit earlier. The following are the precautions for reversing into a parking space: 1. Reference Points: Find reference points, which are relative—you should have a sense of the distance between the vehicle and the reference markers. 2. Speed: When reversing, slow down slightly as you approach the parking space. Look back at one corner of the vehicle, keeping a distance of about 30 cm between this corner (the one closest to the reference marker) and the marker. Then, observe the side of the vehicle to maintain a certain distance from the marker, making slight adjustments to the steering as needed. 3. Note: After straightening the wheels, stop slowly. Be careful not to let the left front wheel cross the line, so pay attention to adjusting the steering slightly when straightening the wheels.

The switch indicator light should be off, and the start-stop function icon on the instrument panel should not have a slash. Then, drive in D gear for a while. One-key start, also known as keyless start, refers to pressing the AC button to start or stop the vehicle when it is in a stationary state. For safety reasons, the AC button defaults to the factory settings while driving, making operation more convenient and efficient, and reducing the frequency of needing to handle the car key.

How to Clean the Original Carpet Under the Car Floor Mats?

Car floor mats are an eco-friendly automotive interior component that integrates five main functions: water absorption, dust absorption, stain removal, sound insulation, and protection of the main carpet. As interior decorations, car floor mats help maintain cleanliness both inside and outside the vehicle, adding aesthetic appeal and comfort. Their ability to absorb water, dust, and remove stains effectively prevents residues from shoe soles—such as moisture and dirt—from causing slippage between the clutch, brake, and accelerator, thereby avoiding potential safety hazards and reducing the likelihood of interior contamination and damage. The cleaning methods for the original carpet under the car floor mats are as follows: Organic Cleaning Solvents: Primarily used to remove grease, lubricants, dirt, silicone polishes, rubber processing aids, and fingerprints from the car's surface. Commonly used organic solvents in China include kerosene, gasoline, toluene, xylene, trichloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride, and No. 200 solvent gasoline. Imported organic solvents include Prep-sol, P, and Kleano. Two-in-One Cleaner: Also known as two-in-one shampoo, this is a high-grade cleaning agent. The term "two-in-one" refers to its dual functions of cleaning and care—it not only cleans but also waxes, meeting the requirements for quick cleaning and waxing.

How to Improve the Hard Suspension of an SUV?

Methods to improve the hard suspension of an SUV: 1. Adjusting the tire pressure can alter the suspension hardness, but the reduced tire pressure should remain within the normal range. This method can provide slight relief; 2. Modify the suspension with adjustable shock absorbers. Consult professionals and replace the original shock absorbers with adjustable ones if modifications are permitted. Common options include coilover suspensions, which also allow for height and damping adjustments. Shock absorbers are primarily used to dampen the oscillations from spring rebound after absorbing shocks and impacts from the road surface. They are widely used in automobiles to accelerate the attenuation of vibrations in the frame and body, thereby improving the vehicle's ride comfort.
