Steering wheel play refers to the situation where, when the vehicle is stationary, turning the steering wheel does not affect the direction of the wheels. This is called play. In fact, the amount of steering wheel play is related to the manufacturer's tuning and production process. Steering wheel play: Steering wheel play is the free movement (also called free angle or travel) of the car's steering wheel. It refers to the angle the steering wheel can turn without causing the steering wheels to deviate. It is the cumulative effect of the combined gaps in the entire steering system and the steering wheels. Causes: It is mainly due to the habit of turning the steering wheel to its limit. It's best not to turn the wheel when the car is stationary. Wait until the car starts moving slightly before turning, and regularly perform wheel alignment.

Are Car Repairs Free During the Warranty Period?

During the warranty period, not all car repair costs are covered for free. The warranty only provides free services for specific items, such as the engine, transmission, drive system, steering system, and chassis suspension system. Warranty Period: Generally, the warranty for a new car lasts for three years or 60,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. This means that if the vehicle exceeds 60,000 kilometers before reaching three years from the purchase date, the warranty period ends. Similarly, if the vehicle hasn't reached 60,000 kilometers but has been owned for over three years, the warranty also expires. This is based on China's Automobile Three Guarantees Policy, which states that the "repair warranty period is longer than the Three Guarantees period. The Three Guarantees period is no less than 2 years or 50,000 kilometers, while the repair warranty period is no less than 3 years or 60,000 kilometers." The purchase date is determined by the vehicle's invoice. Different car brands may have varying warranty policies, but none will be shorter than three years or 60,000 kilometers. The car warranty period refers to the timeframe during which the manufacturer promises to provide free repairs and maintenance for any faults arising from quality issues. The "free replacement" and other services promised in the warranty are conditional upon regular maintenance at authorized locations (usually 4S shops) as specified in the maintenance manual. In other words, if the owner opts for repairs at unauthorized locations during the warranty period, they forfeit all free services under the warranty.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the Teana 2.0t?

The actual fuel consumption of the Teana 2.0t is 5.9L-10.2L. Below are the factors affecting fuel consumption and tips for saving fuel: Factors affecting car fuel consumption: Potholes on the road will consume more fuel. Driving for a long time in low gear will inevitably increase fuel consumption. Placing excessively heavy items in the trunk will also increase fuel consumption. Incorrect driving can consume 2 to 3 times more fuel. Driving at high speeds in low gear will consume more fuel. Neglecting engine maintenance will also lead to higher fuel consumption. Issues with the engine ignition system, such as inaccurate ignition timing, leaking high-voltage wires, or spark plug carbon buildup causing weak ignition, can significantly reduce engine combustion efficiency and increase fuel consumption. Tips for saving fuel: When starting the vehicle, use a low gear and gently press the accelerator to gradually increase speed. Avoid suddenly pressing the accelerator hard, as this can multiply fuel consumption. Starting by gently pressing the accelerator not only shortens the engine warm-up time but also effectively improves fuel utilization, thereby achieving fuel-saving effects.

How to Drive a Manual Transmission Car?

Driving a manual transmission car requires mastering some techniques. When starting, you need to use the half-clutch technique. Each time you shift gears, you must quickly press the clutch pedal. When driving a manual transmission car, the gear should match the speed and RPM. Generally, car engines have an economical RPM range. Drivers can keep the engine within this economical RPM range while driving, which makes the car more fuel-efficient and comfortable. When starting a manual transmission car, you need to use the half-clutch technique. After shifting into first gear, you should slowly release the clutch. When the clutch reaches the engagement point, pause briefly and then continue to slowly release the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator pedal with your right foot. Only in this way can the manual transmission car start smoothly. If you fully release the clutch pedal all at once when starting, the car's engine will stall. During startup, the speed difference between the engine flywheel and the clutch disc is too large. Engaging the clutch suddenly will cause the engine to stall. The half-clutch technique can gradually reduce the speed difference between the clutch disc and the flywheel. When downshifting, you can use the rev-matching technique. The rev-matching technique can prevent significant jerking after shifting, improving comfort and safety. The clutch disc of a manual transmission car will wear out over time with increasing mileage, so drivers should regularly inspect and replace the clutch disc.
