If the electric power steering wheel does not return to center, it can cause damage to rubber seals, shock-absorbing pads, and tires, shortening their service life. When parking without centering the electric power steering wheel, it can cause the vehicle's suspension system components, such as elastic struts, rubber seals, and shock-absorbing rubber pads, to tilt, resulting in uneven force distribution. This increases pressure on the compressed side, leading to deformation of the suspension system and accelerating its aging process. In addition to the suspension system, the vehicle's tires may also tilt along with the suspension system, changing the tire's stress points. This makes it very easy to compress the tire sidewalls, which are relatively thin and more prone to deformation and blowouts. Since mechanical hydraulic power steering consumes a significant amount of engine power, improvements were made on this basis to develop the more energy-efficient electro-hydraulic power steering system.

What is the first maintenance mileage for a new Audi car?

Audi's first maintenance for a new car is between 3,000 to 5,000 kilometers, with a time frame of 3 to 5 months. Car maintenance is divided into internal and external maintenance. External maintenance refers to the surface of the car, the body paint, and the anti-aging maintenance of the underbody paint. Internal maintenance refers to the interior of the car, such as interior cleaning, car sauna disinfection, and engine cleaning. Taking the Audi A6 as an example, its body dimensions are 5012mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1485mm in height, positioning it as a mid-to-large-sized car.

What to Do When Tire Pressure Malfunction Occurs?

Tire pressure malfunction solutions include: 1. Compare the rotation speed of the car's four tires to determine if the tire pressure is normal; 2. If the tire pressure is too high or too low, the system will automatically alert; 3. The car dashboard will display a tire pressure warning light to prompt the driver that the car needs immediate repair. Causes include: 1. Very slow tire leakage, which is extremely subtle and cannot be observed with the naked eye; 2. System malfunction, leading to false alarms; 3. After prolonged driving, the tire temperature increases, causing the tire pressure to rise due to thermal expansion.
