The reasons for the car steering wheel tilting to the left are: 1. Incorrect four-wheel alignment data affecting the vehicle or uneven wear of the front tires leading to different grip levels; 2. The steering wheel being misaligned and abnormal tire wear, with symptoms like tire cupping and scalloping caused by incorrect four-wheel alignment data; 3. Possible relative displacement between the steering wheel and the steering column. Although a tilted steering wheel still allows the driver to control the angle and maintain straight-line driving, it requires constant attention to the steering wheel angle. Otherwise, when the steering wheel is in a horizontal position, the vehicle may deviate from a straight path, posing potential safety risks. Additionally, a misaligned steering wheel may cause more noticeable deviation during acceleration, making it harder for the driver to control the vehicle.

How to Solve the Brake Noise Issue in Q5?

Solution for brake noise in Q5: When encountering brake noise, first check the thickness of the brake pads. If the thickness is normal, firmly pressing the brakes several times may alleviate the noise issue. If the brake feels very stiff, it indicates that the brake pads have essentially lost their friction capability, and they must be replaced immediately. Failure to replace them in time could cause damage to the brake discs.

What is the usual license class for small cars?

Typically, the license for small cars is C1. Passenger vehicles with fewer than 9 seats (such as sedans, etc.) are considered small cars, which are divided into automatic and manual transmission types. The driver's licenses for these two types are different. According to regulations, motor vehicle driver's licenses are classified into a hierarchical system with a total of 15 levels: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, D, E, F, M, N, P. C1 is the license for small cars, allowing the driver to operate small and micro passenger vehicles, as well as light and micro cargo vehicles, and light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles. It also permits driving C2, C3, and C4 class vehicles. C2 allows driving automatic transmission small cars; C3 permits driving low-speed cargo vehicles and C4 class vehicles; C4 allows driving three-wheeled vehicles.

Why is there hot air coming from the vents while driving?

Reasons for hot air coming from the vents while driving: 1. The external air circulation is on, allowing hot air from the engine compartment to enter the cabin. The solution is to select a vent position other than the windshield defrost setting and then turn off the external air circulation. 2. The external air circulation is on and the temperature is set to hot air. The solution is to turn off the external air circulation or adjust the temperature knob to a lower setting. The external air circulation mode uses a fan to draw outside air into the cabin, creating airflow between the outside and inside of the vehicle. Even if the fan is off, air will still be drawn into the cabin while driving to replenish fresh air. Sometimes, you may feel air coming in even when the fan is off, which is due to the external air circulation being activated.

What Does It Mean When the Airbag Warning Light Comes On?

The airbag warning light may illuminate due to engine self-check, false faults, or actual malfunctions. If the light remains on after starting or while driving, it indicates a fault in the airbag system. A diagnostic tool is required to retrieve the fault code for repair. When the SRS light is on, the airbag system is deactivated. The airbag indicator is part of the passive safety protection system, working in conjunction with seat belts to provide effective collision protection for occupants. The driver-side airbag is located in the steering wheel, while the passenger-side airbag is typically installed in the dashboard.

What does a small kettle icon on the car dashboard mean?

A small kettle icon appearing on the car dashboard indicates a low engine oil pressure warning. This generally means either insufficient engine oil or that the oil has been used for too long and needs to be changed along with the oil filter for maintenance. There are three scenarios for engine oil pressure warnings: 1. The warning appears during engine startup but disappears quickly after normal startup; 2. High-temperature warning, where the alert doesn't appear during startup but appears during normal operation or high-speed driving; 3. Continuous warning, where the alert persists from startup through operation. Engine oil consists of two components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of the lubricant, while additives compensate for any deficiencies in the base oil's performance. Engine oil serves multiple functions for the engine, including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion protection, as well as shock absorption and buffering.
