What does the yellow exclamation mark on the steering wheel mean?

The yellow exclamation mark on the steering wheel indicates that the EPS (Electric Power Steering) is not activated. Generally, this symbol remains visible before the engine is started, during which the steering wheel feels tight. It disappears immediately after the engine starts, and the steering wheel becomes loose, indicating that the electric power steering function is now active. It is normal for the light to turn off after startup. If a red exclamation mark appears on the steering wheel, it means the steering system has completely failed and is no longer functional. Turning the steering wheel requires significant effort, and you should slow down, park the car safely, and seek repairs or assistance as soon as possible. If the electric power steering system warning light comes on while driving and the power steering fails, you should slowly pull over and seek assistance. Although the car can still be driven without electric power steering, it becomes much harder to control, so it is recommended not to continue driving. Scenarios when the electric power steering system warning light comes on: Light stays on continuously: This indicates a complete failure of the electric power steering system, requiring inspection and replacement of faulty components at a repair shop. Light turns on briefly for 5-10 minutes and then turns off: This is caused by overheating of the electric power steering motor. The system enters an overheating protection mode, reducing or pausing motor assistance until the temperature drops, after which normal assistance resumes.

What brands of cars use 98 octane gasoline?

Cars that use 98 octane gasoline are mainly luxury sports cars or high-displacement vehicles, such as: Mercedes-Benz AMG, Audi RS, BMW M, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, etc. Gasoline grades: The 92 gasoline grade refers to a composition of 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane; 95 grade refers to 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane; 98 grade refers to 98% isooctane and 2% n-heptane. Gasoline composition: Gasoline is produced by refining different gasoline components obtained from petroleum refining, such as straight-run gasoline components, catalytic cracking gasoline components, and catalytic reforming gasoline components, and then blending them with high-octane components. It is mainly used as fuel for spark-ignition internal combustion engines in automobiles.

What are the reasons for air leakage in GS5 tires?

The following are the reasons for air leakage in GS5 tires: 1. Punctured by foreign objects such as nails: Tire punctures caused by foreign objects are the most common damage, including screws, iron nails, wire, glass fragments, etc. If these sharp objects cause small wounds, they can lead to slow leaks. If they penetrate the tire and remain lodged in the puncture, and the owner does not notice, over time, the damaged area of the tire may enlarge. 2. Sidewall damage: If the owner is not careful when parking, the tire may rub against the curb. Repeated rubbing can cause damage to the tire sidewall, resulting in slow leaks. It can also lead to tire bulging, increasing the risk of a blowout. 3. Aging valve stems: Generally, the original valve stems on vehicles are made of rubber. Rubber products have a limited lifespan, and over time, the valve stems may harden, crack, or otherwise deteriorate, causing air leakage in the tires.

Can Smuggled Vehicles Be Driven on the Road?

No, everyone knows that domestic vehicles must have license plates to be driven on the road, and to obtain a license plate, the corresponding taxes and fees must be paid, along with providing the vehicle's qualification certificate. These smuggled vehicles lack the necessary documentation, making it impossible to obtain a license plate, and thus the vehicle naturally cannot be driven on the road. Expansion: Regarding smuggled vehicles, there are two explanations. One is that they cannot be registered due to tax evasion, hence they are called 'water vehicles,' similar to how 'water goods' like iPhones are smuggled from Hong Kong. The second explanation is that these vehicles are luxury cars from Europe, America, and the Middle East that cannot be directly imported into the country through customs. Instead, they are transported via waterways to neighboring countries and then smuggled across the border. Purchasing smuggled vehicles is already suspected of constituting the crime of smuggling ordinary goods, with sentencing based on the amount of tax evaded.

What are the 3 and 2 gears in the Prado?

Prado's 3 and 2 gears are the sport gears of the D gear. Gear selection for different road conditions: 1. Uphill: When going uphill, greater power is needed, so you should use "D-" to downshift the vehicle to obtain high torque for climbing. Some slopes are not very steep, and using too low a gear at this time will waste power, so it is necessary to use "D+" to upshift in time. When encountering steep slopes, even after downshifting, the vehicle may still lack power. In this case, please use the S gear sport mode. 2. Downhill: You should use "D+" to shift up to 2/3 gear. Engine braking can prevent the brake pads from overheating and failing due to prolonged braking. 2 or 3 gear can meet the power demand without requiring the high torque of 1 gear. When the vehicle cannot control downhill sliding, you should continue to use "D-" to downshift for braking.

Has the 2021 Nissan Qashqai's Transmission Been Improved?

Transmission improvements are relatively slow, usually involving only minor modifications to some vulnerable parts. Currently, there is no news indicating that the 2021 Qashqai's transmission has been improved compared to the 2020 model. Below are the relevant details: 1. Transmission: The Qashqai is equipped with a CVT transmission consistently supplied by Jatco. Jatco's CVT transmissions have two common failure points. One is the valve spool in the control valve body, which is prone to wear due to quality issues, necessitating regular transmission fluid changes to prevent excessive metal debris from accelerating wear. The other is the CVT steel belt and cone pulley, which are also prone to wear, requiring drivers to maintain good driving habits. 2. Precautions: It is advisable to accelerate gently and regularly inspect the transmission while frequently changing the transmission fluid to effectively extend the lifespan of the components. Generally, the CVT transmission fluid should be replaced every two years using the gravity drain method.

What is the fuel consumption of the Skoda Kamiq?

The MIIT comprehensive fuel consumption of this car is 6.3L/100Km. Below is the relevant information: 1. Powertrain: The Skoda Kamiq GT is equipped with two engines, a 1.5L and a 1.2T. The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power output of 82kW and a peak torque of 145Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, achieving a fuel consumption of 6.0L/100km. The 1.2T turbocharged engine delivers a maximum power of 85kW and a peak torque of 200Nm, mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, with a fuel consumption of 5.8L/100km. 2. Configuration: The car features front-wheel drive and a suspension setup of front MacPherson strut independent suspension + rear torsion beam non-independent suspension. This model meets the China VI emission standards. While the Kamiq might feel sluggish in a straight line, its chassis performance is robust. During slalom tests, the vehicle exhibits excellent tracking performance, precise steering response, and progressive weight transfer, making it an SUV that is easy to handle in terms of driving dynamics.
