Rear wheel toe-in affects vehicles by causing tire wear and shortening the tire's service life. Below is relevant information about rear wheel toe-in: 1. Definition: Rear wheel (or front wheel) toe-in is a task very familiar to automotive repair technicians, as wheel alignment must be checked during vehicle maintenance. 2. Function: Toe-in refers to the difference between the rear distance value and the front distance value between two wheels, or the angle between the tire centerline and the longitudinal centerline. The purpose of front wheel toe-in is to ensure the vehicle's driving performance and reduce tire wear. When tires roll, their inertial force naturally causes them to tilt inward. With proper toe-in, the tilting direction during rolling is offset, thereby reducing uneven wear on the inner and outer sides of the tires.

What are the reasons for the beeping sound in the Bora?

Here are several situations where the Bora may emit a beeping sound: 1. Seat belts not fastened: If the seat belts in the front passenger and driver seats are not fastened, the car will emit a beeping alert sound. 2. Handbrake not fully released: A beeping sound may occur while the car is in motion. 3. Multimedia function not turned off: If the car has an automatic WIFI search function, it may emit a beeping sound when not connected. 4. Engine temperature too high: If the engine temperature is too high, the car will emit a beeping sound. The dashboard warning light does not display the coolant level in the radiator but only the temperature. Once the engine temperature warning light comes on, it indicates insufficient coolant in the radiator. 5. Insufficient tire pressure: The car has electronic components that monitor the tires. If there is a tire leak or insufficient tire pressure, the information will be transmitted to the alarm system. 6. Insufficient engine oil: Low engine oil levels can affect the operation between car components. Without proper lubrication, wear and tear will increase, and damage may even occur. If the oil pressure is insufficient, the alarm system will issue a warning.

Why does a car alarm go off in the middle of the night?

The reason why a car's horn automatically sounds in the middle of the night is due to the activation of the vehicle's anti-theft system, which triggers the anti-theft horn alarm. The vehicle anti-theft system is designed to prevent the theft of the car itself or items inside the car. It consists of an electronically controlled remote or key, electronic control circuits, alarm devices, and actuators. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. The sensitivity of the anti-theft device is too high: Generally, the most common reason for a car's anti-theft horn to sound automatically is that the sensitivity of the anti-theft device is set too high, causing the alarm to be triggered by even slight vibrations. If it is confirmed that there is no risk of theft and no active people, animals, or objects inside the car, the sensitivity can be adjusted to a lower level. 2. Issues with the anti-theft device components or wiring: Another reason is that problems with the anti-theft device components or wiring lead to false alarms. In this case, it is necessary to promptly visit a repair facility to inspect the electrical system, and after identifying the issue, perform repairs or replacements to resolve it.

How Far Should the Front of the Car Be from the Wall to Turn?

To make a turn, the front of the car should be at least 2 meters away from the wall. Below are the relevant details: 1. Front-end range: The length of the car's front is within a reasonable range. In fact, most sedans have a width between 1.57-1.82 meters. Therefore, when preparing to turn, ensure that the front of the car is at least 2 meters away from any obstacles. This allows for safe left or right turns without the right front corner of the car hitting other vehicles. 2. Contact point with the ground: The extension line of the lowest point visible to the driver's eyes generally does not exceed 3 meters from the frontmost part of the car when it contacts the ground.
