The automatic locking function of the steering wheel is activated, causing the steering wheel not to return to center and the car key not to turn. Here is the relevant information: 1. Steering wheel lock: This is a simple anti-theft feature. For vehicle safety, when the car is turned off, if the steering wheel is turned left or right or the wheels are not straight when parked, force applied will cause the steering wheel to turn, triggering the self-locking function. The steering lock pin engages with the steering column, making the steering wheel immovable. 2. Reasons why the steering wheel does not automatically return to center: The outer steering gear is damaged or the free play adjustment bolt of the steering gear is too tight; incorrect toe-in or camber angle; damaged suspension bushings causing severe inner tire wear.

What does the TC indicator on the GL8 dashboard mean?

When the TC light appears on the GL8 dashboard, it indicates a malfunction in the traction control system. What is TC: The Traction Control System (TCS), also known as the Anti-Slip Regulation system, aims to prevent wheel slippage during acceleration or startup, especially in high-power vehicles, to maintain driving stability. When this warning light is illuminated, the system reduces engine power to limit wheel spin, which may affect normal acceleration. The traction control system relies on electronic sensors to detect when the driven wheels rotate slower than the driving wheels. Upon detection, it sends signals to adjust ignition timing, reduce throttle opening, downshift, or apply braking to prevent wheel slippage. GL8 Specifications: The new vehicle continues to be equipped with a 2.0T engine delivering 237 horsepower and 350N-m of peak torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.

How to Determine if There is Oil Film on Car Glass?

To determine if there is oil film on car glass, you can turn on the wipers, spray windshield washer fluid, and clean with the wipers. If the glass remains somewhat blurry with visible circular marks after cleaning, then there is oil film on the car glass. Relevant information about car window tinting is as follows: 1. Introduction: Car window tinting (Auto-tint-film) involves applying a thin film-like material to the front and rear windshields, side windows, and sunroof of a vehicle. This film is also known as solar film or heat-insulating film. 2. Functions: Its main functions include blocking ultraviolet rays, reducing heat transmission, preventing injuries caused by shattered glass, reducing glare, and protecting personal privacy through the one-way visibility feature of the solar film.

What are the consequences of using 5w30 oil in a Civic?

Using 5w30 oil in a Civic can result in reduced power and increased fuel consumption. How is the Civic configured: In terms of power, this model is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum output of 228kW and a peak torque of 400Nm. Paired with a six-speed manual transmission, the official 0-100km/h acceleration time is just 5.7 seconds. What impact does oil viscosity have: The Civic can use 30 viscosity oil, while 40 viscosity oil is a bit too high. Oil viscosity should not be too high or too low. If the viscosity is too high, the internal resistance will increase during engine operation, leading to reduced power and increased fuel consumption. If the viscosity is too low, the oil cannot form a stable oil film during engine operation, which can exacerbate engine wear.
