Correct handling methods for sudden loss of steering control in a car: 1. Fully release the accelerator pedal; 2. Do not immediately apply the brakes, instead brake slowly, especially when the speed is high; 3. Use engine braking to reduce speed, which means downshifting to slow down, not directly to first gear, but downshifting one gear at a time; 4. Quickly turn on the hazard warning lights; 5. After the speed has decreased, use the parking brake to slow down, applying the handbrake slowly and not too abruptly. Once the vehicle is under control, place a warning triangle 150 meters behind the car. Always drive safely, avoid fatigue driving, and remain calm in emergencies.

How to Adjust Ignition Timing?

Locate the top and bottom dead center marks on the circumference of the crankshaft pulley; rotate the crankshaft until the piston is just at the compression top dead center position, then install the dial indicator bracket and the indicator head. Ensure the dial indicator's contact tip is perpendicularly touching the exhaust valve spring seat and maintains a certain pressure; rotate the dial to align the large pointer of the dial indicator with "0". Install an angle disk on the flywheel, slowly rotate the flywheel, and observe the change in the dial indicator pointer. When it moves away from the "0" value, this indicates the exhaust valve opening time.

What to Do When Your Car is Frozen by Snow?

Start the car, and once the engine's water temperature rises, use the warm air to blow on the windshield until the ice layer melts. When there is snow and ice on the glass, use a plastic scraper or a glass frost scraper to remove it. Pour warm water over the frozen area or wipe it with warm water, but make sure to dry all residual water immediately after opening the door; otherwise, thicker ice will form in the door gaps.
