The steering wheel icon on the dashboard indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's power steering system, which may result in reduced or complete loss of power steering assistance. Immediate repair is recommended. All vehicles are equipped with power steering systems, with three common types: Electric Power Steering (EPS), Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering (EHPS), and Mechanical Hydraulic Power Steering (MHPS). The dashboard is a rigid panel or structural component designed to house instruments and related devices. It comes in various forms, including screen-type, frame-type, passage-type, and cabinet-type dashboards. Standard automotive gauges typically include the speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure gauge, coolant temperature gauge, fuel gauge, and charging indicator.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Braking?

The reasons for abnormal noise when braking include: using inferior or overly hard brake pads, severe wear of the brake disc, and brake pad warning. The details are as follows: Using inferior or overly hard brake pads: If inferior or overly hard brake pads are used, they will produce a squeaking sound when rubbing against the brake disc during braking. Therefore, it is essential to use high-quality brake pads when replacing them. Severe wear of the brake disc: Using inferior brake pads or having hard foreign objects between the brake pad and the brake disc can cause abnormal wear of the brake disc. If the brake disc is excessively worn, it will also produce a squeaking sound when braking. Brake pad warning: There is no strict rule on how many kilometers brake pads should be replaced; they should be replaced once they become thin. Some brake pads have electronic warnings, while some low-end cars use warning strips. If the wear of the brake pads reaches the warning line, a squeaking alarm sound will be emitted, indicating that they should be replaced promptly.

What does it mean when the EPB light is on?

EPB light on indicates a malfunction in the electronic parking brake. EPB stands for Electrical Park Brake, which is the electronic parking brake system, commonly referred to as the electronic handbrake by car owners. The EPB controls the parking brake electronically, functioning similarly to a mechanical handbrake lever. When starting the car, there's no need to manually release the electronic handbrake—it will automatically disengage when you press the accelerator. To reset the EPB light, press the foot brake while holding down the handbrake button for about 20 seconds, then release the handbrake to restore normal operation.

How to Revive a Starved Electric Vehicle Battery?

To revive a starved electric vehicle battery, follow these methods: 1. Charge the battery in parallel with a set of good batteries and observe if the battery becomes hot. If it does, unplug the charger, wait for 1 hour, and then charge again for 20 minutes. Repeat this cycle 3 times before fully charging the battery. 2. Check if the battery is low on water. If it is, add distilled water and charge it at one-tenth of the rated current until fully charged. Then discharge it at one-tenth of the rated capacity until completely discharged. Repeat this cycle 3 times. 3. Use a high-power charger and high current to charge the battery. Stop charging if the battery becomes hot and resume charging once the temperature drops. Repeat this process for 2 to 3 days, and there is a certain probability of reactivation.

What is the Difference Between Two-Wheel Drive and Four-Wheel Drive?

The differences between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive: 1. Different driving methods: Two-wheel drive has two wheels as the driving wheels, connected to the vehicle's power system; four-wheel drive maintains all four wheels as driving wheels throughout the entire driving process. 2. Different differentials: The two-wheel drive differential allows the front and rear driving wheels to rotate at different speeds; in four-wheel drive, to drive all four wheels, all wheels need to be connected, and a central differential is added to adjust the speed difference between the front and rear wheels. A two-wheel drive vehicle uses either the rear wheels (or front wheels) as the driving wheels, with the front wheels (or rear wheels) as the driven wheels, and the driving and driven wheels remain fixed. A four-wheel drive vehicle can use either the rear wheels or the front wheels as the driving wheels, but not both the rear and front wheels simultaneously as driving wheels.
