The reason for the right side being too wide during parallel parking is that after seeing the corner of the parking space in the left rearview mirror and straightening the steering wheel to reverse, the left rear wheel still has a considerable distance from the parking line when turning left. Below are some tips for parallel parking in the driving test (Subject 2): 1. Starting: After getting into the car, adjust the seat first, then fasten the seatbelt—this should be done every time during the test. Adjust both side mirrors so that about one-quarter of the inner part of the mirrors shows the car body. 2. Positioning: Start with the clutch halfway engaged; if confident, you can slightly accelerate. Follow the principle of 'press clutch, shift gear, turn signal, honk, and check surroundings' when starting. Park the car parallel to the parking space, 30-50 cm away, with the rear end passing the frontmost pole. 3. Reversing: Shift into reverse gear, start with the clutch halfway engaged, and control the speed. Turn right to look at the lower rear corner of the right door glass. When the first pole appears, quickly turn the steering wheel to the right until it stops while moving slowly. Then, look at the left rearview mirror. When the second pole (diagonal to the first pole) appears, stabilize the speed and quickly turn the wheel two turns to the left. While turning back, start looking at the right rearview mirror for positioning. When the base of the rearview mirror passes the first pole, quickly turn the steering wheel all the way to the left. (Note: Once you find a turning point and start turning, immediately look for the next one.) Watch the front of the car and stop when the car body is straight. If the front wheels need to be straightened, do so quickly as the car body is about to straighten. 4. Exiting: Shift into first gear, turn on the left signal, honk, and start slowly with the clutch halfway engaged. Quickly turn the wheel to the left when starting. When the right front corner of the car passes the pole, quickly turn the wheel two turns to the right. After the third turn, adjust the steering based on the distance to the right pole and the speed of turning. Look ahead and straighten the front wheels as the car is about to align, allowing the car to move straight.

What are the steps for replacing spark plugs in a car?

Steps for replacing spark plugs in a car: 1. Prepare tools. The tools needed for replacing spark plugs are a quick wrench and sockets. The socket sizes required for this model are 16mm and 8mm, which may vary for other models. However, any socket size that can unscrew the bolts will suffice; 2. Unscrew the high-voltage terminal; 3. Remove the spark plug; 4. Install the new spark plug. Spark plugs, commonly known as sparkers, function by discharging the high-voltage pulses sent through the spark plug wire, creating an electric spark that ignites the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder by breaking down the air between the two electrodes of the spark plug.

What are the methods for adjusting valve clearance?

Adjusting valve clearance involves the following steps: 1. Based on the firing order of the cylinders, determine when a particular piston is at the top dead center of the compression stroke, then adjust the intake and exhaust valve clearances for that cylinder; 2. After completing the adjustment, rotate the crankshaft and proceed to adjust the valve clearances for the remaining cylinders in the same manner. Valve clearance is categorized into cold engine values and hot engine values, and measurements should be taken under the conditions specified for the vehicle. When the engine is running, the valves expand due to increased temperature. If there is no clearance or insufficient clearance between the valves and their transmission components when cold, thermal expansion during operation will cause the valves to not close properly, leading to leakage during the compression and power strokes. This results in reduced power output and, in severe cases, difficulty starting. To prevent this, a certain clearance is typically maintained between the valves and their transmission components when the engine is assembled cold, to compensate for thermal expansion. This clearance is known as valve clearance.

What is the minimum ground clearance of the Toyota Camry?

The minimum ground clearance of the Camry is 150mm. Here is an introduction to minimum ground clearance: 1. Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the car (excluding the wheels) and the supporting surface when the vehicle is fully loaded and stationary. It is used to characterize the car's ability to pass over obstacles such as stones and tree stumps without collision; 2. The greater the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the higher center of gravity will reduce vehicle stability; 3. The smaller the minimum ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the lower center of gravity can increase vehicle stability.

How to Activate Cruise Control on the Equinox?

To use the cruise control on the Equinox, follow these steps: The cruise control only works when the vehicle speed exceeds 40 km/h. On the left side of the steering wheel, there are "+" and "-" buttons for acceleration and deceleration. Press the switch to activate the system. Pushing it upward increases speed, while pushing it downward decreases speed. After applying the brakes and releasing them, the vehicle will automatically reach the preset speed. Introduction to the cruise control system: The Cruise Control System (abbreviated as CCS) maintains the set speed without requiring the driver to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the vehicle to travel at a constant speed. During long highway drives, this feature reduces driver fatigue by eliminating the need to control the accelerator pedal and minimizes unnecessary speed fluctuations, thereby improving fuel efficiency.
