Power steering oil is a special fluid used in the car's power steering pump. Through hydraulic action, it can make the steering wheel lighter, similar to automatic transmission fluid, brake fluid, and shock absorber fluid. To prevent the power steering oil from becoming dirty or deteriorating, it should be replaced every 2 years or 30,000 kilometers. Precautions for using power steering oil include: 1. Power steering oil contains carcinogenic substances; if it comes into contact with the skin, it should be washed off immediately. 2. For cars equipped with hydraulic power steering systems, avoid holding the steering wheel at full lock for extended periods, as this can burn out the power steering pump over time.

Do You Need to Observe the Left-Turn Red Light When Making a U-Turn?

When making a U-turn, vehicles must observe the left-turn traffic signal and can only proceed when the left-turn signal is green. Motor vehicles are permitted to make U-turns at locations without prohibitive signs or markings against U-turns or left turns, provided they do not obstruct the normal passage of other vehicles and pedestrians. Additional information: According to Article 38 of the "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle traffic signals indicate: 1. When the green light is on, vehicles are allowed to proceed, but turning vehicles must not obstruct the passage of straight-moving vehicles and pedestrians that have been given the right of way. 2. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. 3. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding.

What does the road marking 100 mean?

Road marking 100 indicates a speed limit of 100 km/h. White numbers on the ground represent the minimum speed limit, while yellow numbers indicate the maximum speed limit. Additional details are as follows: Speed limit: Typically refers to the maximum speed limit, which is generally set to prevent drivers from speeding and causing safety hazards. On highways and expressways, there are also minimum speed limit signs. Since vehicles normally travel at high speeds on highways and expressways, if some vehicles move too slowly, they can become moving obstacles on the road and easily lead to rear-end collisions. Therefore, highways and expressways have minimum speed limits, and usually, the minimum speed limit in the left lane is higher than that in the right lane. During traffic congestion, the minimum speed limit regulations are temporarily not enforced. The minimum speed limit on highways is generally 60 km/h.

What is the difference between base and high-end configurations?

The base and high-end configurations of a car have no difference in basic equipment, but differ in some additional features. 1. Base configuration: Meets the most basic needs with the lowest and simplest setup, resulting in a lower price, but lacks auxiliary functions. 2. High-end configuration: The top-tier setup of the same model, featuring additional auxiliary functions such as a panoramic sunroof, cruise control, power-closing doors, ABS anti-lock braking system, etc. The differences are often visible in appearance as well, such as the wheels, tires, and emblems. Additional information: 1. ABS anti-lock braking system: When the wheel is about to reach the next lock point, the brake fluid pressure causes the system to repeatedly engage, similar to continuously braking and releasing, resembling mechanical intermittent braking. 2. Cruise control: This device allows the vehicle to maintain a set speed without the driver needing to press the accelerator pedal, enabling the car to travel at a constant speed as desired by the driver.

How Should Beginners Deal with Traffic Jams?

Here are some methods for beginners to handle traffic jams: 1. Maintain a good mindset: When encountering a traffic jam, novice drivers should adjust their mindset. You can relax by listening to music, and also stay informed about traffic conditions by paying attention to road condition updates from traffic radio stations to ensure safety during the jam. 2. Brake appropriately: Driving speeds in traffic jams are generally slow, so maintain a steady speed and be prepared to brake at any time. 3. Try not to turn off the engine: After turning off the engine, secondary braking may fail because the vehicle's braking system relies on the negative pressure generated when the engine is running. Therefore, it is not recommended to turn off the engine.

What Does Car Compression Ratio Mean?

Car compression ratio refers to the ratio between the maximum volume of the cylinder at the bottom dead center and the minimum volume at the top dead center during the compression stroke. Methods to check a car's compression ratio include: the vehicle's user manual, the manufacturer, or a 4S dealership. The compression ratio is an important parameter for measuring a car engine's performance. A higher compression ratio results in greater vehicle power, more complete combustion, fewer emissions, but also requires higher-octane gasoline. The purpose of the car compression ratio is to inform the owner which grade of gasoline should be used. The gasoline grade does not indicate its cleanliness but rather which type of car (with a specific compression ratio) it should be used for.
