Adjusting only one side of the toe will cause a slight change in the steering input shaft, but the amount is generally not significant. Relevant information about toe is as follows: 1. Introduction: Front wheel toe-in refers to the inward angle (negative toe). 2. Front wheel camber: Due to front wheel camber, the left and right wheels frequently experience opposing camber thrust forces corresponding to the camber angle, which increases tire wear. To avoid this situation, it is necessary to eliminate this camber thrust. The solution is to install the wheels in a way that the center planes of the two front wheels are not parallel, with the distance between the front edges of the wheels being smaller than that between the rear edges. This is called front wheel toe-in, which appears as an inward angle when viewed along the direction of the vehicle.

Is the vehicle registration certificate (green book) given to me by the 4S dealership or the DMV?

The vehicle registration certificate is issued by the DMV. It is provided after the vehicle is licensed, and the vehicle registration certificate is similar to a household register, so it must be kept properly. Only when you buy a car in full payment can you get the green book. If you buy a car with a loan, the green book must be mortgaged to the lending bank or company. When the customer repays the loan, they need to take the green book to the DMV to release the mortgage, otherwise the ownership of the car will revert to the lending company. The vehicle registration certificate is usually issued within three working days. Required materials for applying for the vehicle registration certificate: 1. "Motor Vehicle License Plate Application Form". 2. Original and copy of the identity proof of the vehicle owner. 3. Vehicle inspection record form (processed on the spot).

What are the reasons for the car's cooling fan to keep running?

The reasons for the car's cooling fan to keep running are: 1. Insufficient coolant causing engine overheating; 2. Radiator leakage; 3. Thermostat failure; 4. Excessive dust on the radiator surface. The solutions for a continuously running car cooling fan are: 1. Add or replace coolant; 2. Replace the water temperature sensor; 3. Clean dust from the radiator. The replacement method for a car cooling fan is: 1. Open the car's engine hood and remove the intake pipe located above the cooling fan; 2. Unscrew the screws at the four corners; 3. Replace the cooling fan; 4. Secure the screws; 5. Install the intake pipe; 6. Close the engine hood.

What is the correct way for a car to pass over speed bumps?

Correct methods for driving over speed bumps are as follows: 1. Reduce speed before passing over the speed bump and slowly drive over it with both wheels vertically aligned. 2. This method allows both left and right wheels to contract simultaneously, with the ground force evenly distributed by the springs and shock absorbers of both wheels, reducing damage to the car. Below are incorrect ways to drive over speed bumps: 1. Passing over the speed bump with only one side of the tires. 2. Driving over the speed bump at high speed. 3. Passing over the speed bump at an angle. Speed bumps, also known as speed humps, are traffic safety devices installed on roads to reduce the speed of motor vehicles and non-motorized vehicles.

Can the Toyota Levin's rearview mirrors automatically fold?

Levin models do not come with electric folding rearview mirrors as a standard feature across the entire lineup, nor do they include rearview mirror heating functionality. However, it is possible to retrofit and replace the rearview mirror assembly with one that includes these features at a later stage. If the Levin were equipped with electric folding mirrors, pressing the automatic folding button would allow the mirrors to fold to the desired angle. Typically, the electric folding button is located near the electric window controls. The Levin's rearview mirrors can be folded manually, but for electric folding functionality, installation at a 4S dealership is required. Car rearview mirrors are positioned on both the left and right sides of the vehicle's front, as well as inside the car's cabin. These mirrors provide visibility of the rear, sides, and lower areas of the car, effectively acting as a 'second pair of eyes' for the driver, significantly expanding the driver's field of vision.

What is the general idle speed of an engine?

Engine idle speed is generally around 850 RPM. Below is relevant information: 1. A car's idle refers to an operating condition. When the engine runs without load, it's called idling, meaning the car is in neutral gear. The engine speed during idling is called idle speed. Idle speed can be adjusted by modifying throttle opening size and other methods. 2. When the engine is running, if the accelerator pedal is completely released, the engine enters idle state. During idle adjustment, the RPM should not suddenly increase or decrease, as this may cause premature engine wear. It's best to have adjustments made at an automotive repair facility. 3. When starting the engine while the vehicle is parked, the minimum stable operating speed is called parking idle (the process of the engine transitioning from cold idle state to normal operating temperature idle state is called warm-up or heating).

What are the symptoms of overfilled engine oil in a car?

The symptoms of overfilled engine oil in a car include: 1. Increased rotational resistance of the crankshaft; 2. Reduced engine output power; 3. Causes the vehicle to burn oil and emit blue smoke; 4. Accelerates wear on cylinders and pistons. The solution for overfilled engine oil is to use a syringe to extract the excess oil. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To alleviate friction and high temperatures; 2. To reduce gas leakage and prevent contamination from external pollutants; 3. To prevent contact between water, air, acidic harmful gases, and engine components; 4. To buffer the pressure rise in the engine cylinder ports; 5. To flush away dirt generated on the working surfaces of components.
