The reasons for the steering wheel light being on are as follows: 1. The steering wheel light on the dashboard actually refers to the power steering system. When the steering wheel light comes on accompanied by an exclamation mark, it indicates an issue with the vehicle's power steering system. 2. A yellow light indicates partial failure of the steering system, requiring greater force to turn the steering wheel; a red light indicates complete failure of the steering system. Extension: The correct way to hold the steering wheel is to imagine it as a clock face, with the left hand positioned between the 9 and 10 o'clock positions and the right hand between the 3 and 4 o'clock positions. This posture provides better body support in the event of a collision. Holding the steering wheel with only four fingers and placing the thumb along the rim can be dangerous. If the wheels hit a rock or high curb, the front wheels may suddenly turn sharply, causing the steering wheel to spin rapidly, which could potentially break the thumb.

How to Solve CGW Exhaust Resonance?

To eliminate resonance, you can replace the original muffler and change both the mid and tail sections, using a silent muffler. Generally, the cause of resonance is that the muffler is too large, leading to insufficient exhaust flow, which results in turbulent exhaust gas inside the muffler. This turbulence impacts the edges of the muffler, causing the exhaust pipe to vibrate and subsequently leading to vehicle-wide resonance. The specific solutions are as follows: 1. Modify the muffler: For exhaust pipe resonance, you can change the muffler to a single-stage backpressure type and place steel wool inside the muffler. After this modification, the muffler's vibration frequency will change from vibrating three times per exhaust cycle to vibrating once. Additionally, the steel wool can absorb some of the exhaust energy, but its vibrations won't transfer to the muffler shell, significantly reducing the shell's vibrations compared to before the modification. 2. Exhaust resonance generally falls into three categories: The first is low-frequency resonance, which occurs at idle and below 2000 RPM. This is mainly caused by an improperly designed backpressure muffler that doesn't match the engine's RPM or issues with the flexible connection point in the header. The second is high-frequency resonance, which occurs above 2000 RPM or 3500 RPM, increasing with higher RPMs. This is usually due to poor car sound insulation, overly stiff vibration-damping hangers, thin exhaust pipe materials, or rough internal surfaces of the exhaust pipe. The third is hard connection resonance, which exists at all RPMs. This is typically caused by improper installation, where rigid connection points exist beyond the hangers, often seen in mismatched aftermarket exhaust systems.

Is it necessary to clean the fuel system at 20,000 kilometers?

Generally, cleaning the fuel system at 20,000 kilometers is not necessary. Here is some relevant information about the vehicle's fuel system: Composition of the fuel system: fuel tank, fuel pump assembly, filter, fuel delivery pipe, fuel return pipe, fuel filler pipe, carbon canister vent pipe, etc. Cleaning interval: The fuel system should be thoroughly cleaned every 20,000 kilometers or every two years. The cleaning cycle may vary depending on the type of vehicle usage. Vehicles that frequently drive on highways can delay the cleaning, while those often used on city roads may need earlier cleaning.

How many times should the brake be tapped in Subject 3?

Subject 3 requires tapping the brake 7 times. Detailed explanation is as follows: 1. Passing straight through an intersection: Before entering an intersection during straight-line driving, you need to tap the brake to slow down. The speed should not exceed 30km/h when passing the intersection. 2. Pedestrian crossing: During the road test, when you see a pedestrian crossing ahead, you need to slow down. If there are pedestrians on the crossing, you must stop the car to yield to them. Remember, do not park the car on the pedestrian crossing. 3. Bus stop: During the road test, if you hear the voice prompt to pass a bus stop, you need to tap the brake immediately. 4. Passing a school: In areas near schools, the speed should be kept below 30km/h, and you should also use the brake appropriately. 5. Making a U-turn: When making a U-turn, you need to slow down. This ensures that the car does not lose control due to excessive speed or inertia during the turn. 6. Meeting another vehicle: If you hear the safety officer’s instruction to meet another vehicle during the road test, you need to tap the brake promptly to slow down. If no such instruction is given, no action is required. 7. Turning left or right: When turning left or right, you need to slow down. Everyone must remember this. Additionally, it’s important to note that during the above braking actions, you must remember to turn your head left and right to observe the surrounding environment in time.
