Power steering is the addition of an external force to counteract steering resistance, allowing the driver to complete steering with less effort, also known as power-assisted steering. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Power steering makes driving simpler and easier, and makes the vehicle more responsive, improving safety. 2. There are three types of power steering systems configured in vehicles: mechanical hydraulic power steering system, electro-hydraulic power steering system, and electric power steering system. Economy cars mostly use the mechanical hydraulic power steering system, which generally consists of components such as a hydraulic pump, oil pipes, pressure flow control valve body, V-type drive belt, and oil reservoir.

What is the usual procedure when a motorcycle is caught by traffic police for overdue inspection?

Vehicle overdue inspection can undergo a supplementary inspection, but penalties will be imposed. If a motor vehicle fails to undergo safety technical inspection within the prescribed period, a fine of 200 yuan will be issued, and 3 points will be deducted from the driver's license. For the annual inspection, bring the vehicle registration certificate, copy of compulsory traffic insurance, and proof of resolved violations to the local vehicle management office for the inspection. The requirements for overdue inspection are as follows: 1. If the vehicle is overdue for inspection within 3 months, you only need to go directly to make up for it, usually with an oral warning; 2. If the overdue inspection is more than 3 months but less than two years, a fine is generally imposed; 3. If the vehicle has not been inspected for more than two years, the vehicle file will be directly canceled; 4. If you want to restore the file, you usually have to pay a fine before it can be restored. It is recommended to make up the inspection as soon as possible. Once the vehicle is involved in any accident after the overdue inspection, the owner will be fully responsible.

What is the difference between direct stores and 4S stores?

Direct stores are chain stores directly operated by the headquarters, while 4S stores, fully known as automobile sales service 4S stores, are automobile sales enterprises integrating four functions: vehicle sales (Sale), spare parts (Sparepart), after-sales service (Service), and information feedback (Survey). The following is a detailed introduction: 1. Direct stores: Chain stores directly operated by the headquarters, that is, a business form where the headquarters directly operates, invests in, and manages each retail outlet. The headquarters adopts a vertical management approach, directly issuing orders to control all retail outlets, which must fully comply with the headquarters' directives. 2. 4S stores: They are a car franchise model centered on the "four-in-one" concept, including vehicle sales (Sale), spare parts (Sparepart), after-sales service (Service), and information feedback (Survey). They feature a unified appearance, unified logos, unified management standards, and exclusively operate a single brand. It is a distinctive tangible market with channel consistency and a unified cultural concept. The advantages of 4S stores in enhancing the automobile brand and the image of automobile manufacturers are obvious.

Is it easy to schedule a make-up test for Subject 2?

Subject 2 make-up test scheduling difficulty depends on how early you book the make-up test and the number of people scheduling for the same test day in your region. If you schedule early or if there are fewer people taking the test on the same day in your area, the chances of successful scheduling increase significantly; otherwise, it may take a while to secure a slot. Below is more relevant information: 1. Subject 2 deduction items: Not using seat belts or wearing safety helmets as required; blocking or turning off in-car audio and video monitoring equipment; inability to correctly use lights, windshield wipers, and other common vehicle controls; prolonged mismatch between gear and speed, causing the vehicle engine speed to be too high or too low; not driving according to traffic signals, signs, road markings, or traffic officer commands. 2. Subject 2 test items: For small cars (C1/C2), the test includes five mandatory items: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-curves). Some regions may have a sixth item: highway toll card collection.

How to Drive an Automatic Transmission Car Downhill on Snowy and Icy Roads?

When driving an automatic transmission car on a long downhill snowy or icy road, never use the D gear to avoid accidents. Using the gear to control the speed is a safer approach, and in this case, you should select the L gear on the automatic transmission. Below are some key precautions for driving an automatic transmission car downhill on snowy and icy roads: 1. Maintain a safe distance: In addition to controlling speed with the gear, it is crucial to maintain a safe distance when going downhill. The risk of rear-end collisions is much higher on snowy and icy roads compared to dry surfaces due to significantly reduced tire traction. Therefore, it is essential to increase the following distance by 3-4 times the usual distance. Following too closely makes it difficult to control braking distance, and if proper measures are not taken, the likelihood of an accident is very high. 2. Keep both wheels on the same type of surface: Another critical point to note when driving downhill is ensuring both wheels are on the same type of surface. Often, the middle of the road may be clear of snow, while the sides remain covered. Many drivers tend to drive with the right wheels on the snowy side and the left wheels on the clear road, thinking this provides better traction. However, this setup creates uneven friction between the wheels and the road, which can lead to loss of control during acceleration, braking, or steering, potentially causing serious accidents.

How to check tire pressure on Honda CRV?

The method to check tire pressure on Honda CRV: The Honda CRV does not have an active monitoring function. Only when there is an abnormality in the tire will the information be automatically displayed on the dashboard. The indirect tire pressure warning system actually relies on calculating the rolling radius of the tire to monitor the pressure. The following are the hazards of abnormal tire pressure: 1. Overinflated tires When the tire pressure is too high, the tire cords are overstretched and deformed, causing the middle of the tread to bulge, resulting in severe wear in the center of the tire; the contact area with the ground is reduced, adhesion is lowered, making the car more prone to skidding, and the braking distance is extended; the elasticity of the tire decreases, the tire body becomes harder, the shock absorption effect of the tire weakens, and the ride comfort of the car is poor. 2. Underinflated tires When the tire pressure is too low, the middle of the tire tread leaves the ground, causing severe wear on the shoulder areas on both sides of the tire; the tire body deforms significantly, rolling resistance increases, leading to higher fuel consumption; due to the softer tire body, repeated compression and deformation during high-speed driving generate excessive heat, making the tire prone to high-temperature aging and more likely to blow out.
