When the vehicle body touches the edge line during parallel parking, it is usually because the left rear tire of the vehicle either fails to roll over the dashed line or has already crossed it when the steering wheel is turned to full lock during reversing. It is important to note that the steering action should be performed swiftly. Below are some precautions for parallel parking: 1. Speed: Pay attention to the vehicle speed during parallel parking. A slow speed ensures the vehicle enters the parking space smoothly, while excessive speed may lead to delayed steering response, resulting in incorrect parking and crossing the line. 2. Direction: When starting from the parking space, the right turn signal must be used; otherwise, 10 points will be deducted.

What is the ground clearance of the Haval H2?

The ground clearance of the Haval H2 is approximately 150mm, which meets the standard for a compact SUV. SUVs generally have higher ground clearance compared to regular sedans, enhancing the vehicle's off-road capability while maintaining stability at high speeds. Here are some key points about vehicle ground clearance: 1. Ground clearance and minimum ground clearance are different concepts. Under full load conditions, the distance between the lowest protruding part of the vehicle chassis and the level ground is referred to as the minimum ground clearance, which determines the vehicle's off-road capability. 2. The ground clearance value is not fixed and varies depending on the load. A higher ground clearance improves off-road performance but reduces stability, while a lower ground clearance decreases off-road capability but enhances stability.

How Long Does a Sway Bar Link Typically Last?

Sway bar links have an unpredictable lifespan, as it largely depends on the vehicle's usage conditions. Generally, they last around 60,000 kilometers. Here's a detailed explanation: 1. Function of sway bars: When both left and right wheels pass over identical road bumps or potholes, the sway bar remains inactive. 2. Body roll suppression: However, when left and right wheels encounter different road surface irregularities (i.e., when wheel heights differ), the bar twists to create anti-roll resistance that counteracts body roll. 3. Activation conditions: The sway bar only engages when left and right suspensions move asynchronously - either due to uneven road surfaces or during cornering maneuvers. When suspensions move synchronously up and down, the sway bar doesn't function.

How to Judge the Distance of the Interior Rearview Mirror?

Methods for judging the distance of the interior rearview mirror (varies slightly depending on the vehicle model): 1. When the rear vehicle's grille is completely obscured: The distance between the rear vehicle and the front vehicle is 3 meters. At low speeds, this distance is still considered safe. If the speed is higher, accelerate or change lanes to avoid getting too close to the rear vehicle. 2. When the rear vehicle's front bumper is completely obscured: The distance between the rear vehicle and the front vehicle is 8 meters. If the speed is higher, accelerate or change lanes to maintain a sufficient safe distance from the rear vehicle. 3. When the lower edge of the rear vehicle's tires is visible: The distance between the rear vehicle and the front vehicle is 23 meters. At this distance, the safe speed is approximately 25 km/h.

How to Lift Up the Rear Seat of Cavalier?

The method to lift up the rear seat of Cavalier is as follows: 1. First, use a 17mm socket (same size as the tire bolts) to remove the seat back fixing screws from the rear trunk. Except for the low-end Xinxiang version (without spare tire) of Cavalier which does not have a tire wrench, the mid-range and high-end versions are equipped with one. You can easily lift the trunk floor mat, take out the wrench, and loosen those two nuts. 2. Then, reach into the junction between the base and the backrest to feel for the clips inside.
