If the EPS warning light flashes on the dashboard, it indicates that the vehicle's Electric Power Steering system may have a malfunction. When the EPS warning light is flashing, it is recommended to stop driving and have the vehicle inspected at a repair shop or 4S store. A failure in the Electric Power Steering system may result in the loss of power steering assistance, causing the steering wheel to suddenly become heavy. In emergency situations where quick maneuvering is required, the consequences could be severe. Below is an introduction to the vehicle's power steering system: 1. Vehicle power steering systems are generally either electric or hydraulic. Electric power steering is achieved through an electric motor. Hydraulic power steering systems have a hydraulic fluid reservoir in the engine compartment and a power steering pump. The power steering pump is connected to the engine via a belt. If the belt breaks or the power steering pump is damaged, the power steering function may be lost, making the steering wheel very heavy. 2. The vehicle's power steering system is a commonly used system in daily driving. A malfunction in the power steering system can make the vehicle difficult to control. During routine maintenance, it is important to regularly check whether the power steering system is functioning properly and whether there are any fault codes.

What are the precautions for novice drivers?

Novice drivers should pay attention to the following when driving on the road: familiarize themselves with the route in advance, learn to use the rearview mirrors, remember to use turn signals, have an experienced driver accompany them, display a novice driver sticker, maintain a safe distance between vehicles, etc. The specific precautions are as follows: Familiarize yourself with the route in advance: Before hitting the road, it's best for novice drivers to check the route to their destination. They should be very familiar with the road conditions to avoid going in the wrong direction. Since they have just learned to drive, they must control their speed and avoid driving too fast, especially in crowded areas. They should stay alert and clearly distinguish between the brake and accelerator pedals. Learn to use the rearview mirrors: Using the rearview mirrors is very important. Whether changing lanes or turning, they should always check the mirrors for oncoming vehicles. Remember to use turn signals: Novice drivers should also remember to use the appropriate turn signals when turning. Many beginners forget this, and the same applies when overtaking—turn signals must be used. Have an experienced driver accompany you: If driving experience is limited, it's advisable to have an experienced driver accompany you. Their guidance can be invaluable. Display a novice driver sticker: Placing a novice driver sticker on the rear window is very helpful for new drivers. Maintain a safe distance between vehicles: Novice drivers often struggle to estimate the length and size of vehicles. Therefore, they should try to keep a larger gap and distance between cars to avoid rear-end collisions.

Why can't the car start when shifted to N gear while parking?

There are following reasons why the car cannot start when shifted to N gear while parking: 1. N gear is the neutral gear, and the car cannot be started in neutral. 2. Neutral refers to the state when the car's transmission is operating without any power transmission gear engaged. Relevant information about the N gear in cars is as follows: 1. N gear: It is one of the three standard gears in automatic transmission models, located between the R gear and D gear on the gearshift console, essentially serving as the neutral gear in the transmission. 2. Purpose: To cut off power transmission between the input shaft and output shaft inside the transmission. 3. Origin: The "N" in N gear comes from the first letter of the English word Neutral.

How to Drive on Submerged Bridge Sections?

When passing through submerged roads or bridges, you should stop to assess the water conditions. Proceed slowly only when there is a dedicated guide leading the way in front of the vehicle. Do not blindly enter submerged road surfaces. Flowing river water exerts a certain lateral impact force on passing vehicles, and improper handling may cause the vehicle to overturn. Drive at a low speed and in a low gear, maintaining steady and consistent speed. Avoid driving too fast in water. Aim for continuous and stable passage, avoiding any stops in the water. Regardless of the situation, the driver should focus entirely on operating the vehicle, looking straight ahead and keeping eyes on the road in front, without glancing around.

How to Activate Cruise Control in Haval?

Press the CRUISE button to activate the cruise control function, and a white cruise indicator will illuminate on the dashboard. Then, accelerate to the desired cruising speed and press the SET (-) button. During cruise control, pressing the SET button again will decrease the cruising speed by 1.6 km/h each time. Holding down the SET button will continuously reduce the cruising speed. During cruise control, pressing the RES button will increase the cruising speed by 1.6 km/h each time. Holding down the RES button will continuously increase the cruising speed. During cruise control, you can accelerate for overtaking by pressing the throttle. After overtaking, releasing the throttle will gradually slow the vehicle down to the set cruising speed, and cruise control will continue. Pressing the brake or the CANCEL button will temporarily pause cruise control, turning the cruise indicator from green to white. Pressing RES will resume cruise control at the previous speed.

What is the wading depth of the BMW X3?

The maximum wading depth of the BMW X3 is 400mm. The wading depth of the BMW X3 is determined by the height of the vehicle's chassis, which is the ground clearance listed in the model's parameter configuration table. Generally, the greater the ground clearance, the higher the chassis, and the higher the safety factor when passing through waterlogged roads. Therefore, in terms of safe wading depth, the advantages of off-road vehicles and SUVs are obvious. However, for most compact and small cars with low chassis, the position of the vehicle's air intake should be used as a benchmark when passing through waterlogged roads. If the air intake of the BMW X3 is below the water level during wading, water will be sucked into the engine's cylinders. Since water cannot be compressed like air, it will cause severe damage to the engine's mechanical components (such as connecting rods, pistons, crankshafts, etc.). Therefore, the wading depth must not exceed the height of the engine's air intake. The height of the engine's air intake, and thus the maximum wading depth, can also be increased by installing a snorkel. If wading is unavoidable, the following safe and correct operations should be performed: Before the vehicle enters the water, the auto start-stop function must be turned off to prevent the engine from automatically restarting after stalling in the water, which could cause severe damage due to water ingestion. Assess the underwater road conditions based on the passage of vehicles ahead and choose an appropriate entry point. Observe the path taken by other vehicles and follow their tracks at low speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or deceleration. On roads prone to water accumulation, observe warning water level markers, trees, or other vehicles' wheels and doors as reference points to judge the water depth before deciding whether to proceed. Understand your vehicle's safe wading depth. If the water depth exceeds half the tire height or the engine's air intake, do not enter the water recklessly; choose an alternative route instead.
