Turning the steering wheel to full right lock means turning it one and a half turns to the right, and turning it to full left lock means turning it one and a half turns to the left. Therefore, to straighten the wheels after a full right lock, turn the wheel back one and a half turns, and the same applies for a full left lock. If you turn the wheel half a turn to the right, turning it back half a turn to the left will straighten the wheels. When turning the steering wheel, avoid using excessive force or making sudden turns and returns. Also, do not turn the steering wheel when the vehicle is stationary. Here are some additional details about the steering wheel: 1. Note: The correct hand position on the steering wheel is at the "9 and 3 o'clock" positions. When turning the steering wheel, keep both hands on it and rotate it up to 180 degrees in either direction without letting go. 2. Traditional mechanical steering system: The steering wheel is connected to a shaft in the steering gear that has teeth, forming a small gear. This small gear meshes with a rack, which acts like a large gear. The number of teeth on the small gear and the rack is fixed. The ratio of the small gear's teeth to the rack's teeth determines how many turns of the steering wheel are needed.

What does it mean when the water temperature warning light flashes in Lavida?

It indicates insufficient coolant level or excessively high temperature. Below are relevant extended information: 1. Insufficient coolant level or excessively high temperature: Add some coolant and continue observing. If the water temperature gauge still flashes after adding coolant, the water temperature sensor should be checked. 2. Water temperature warning appears at low speed: Immediately pull over to a safe location, turn off the engine, open the engine hood to facilitate heat dissipation, and then call for assistance. 3. Water temperature warning appears during high-speed driving: Safely pull over to the roadside, but do not turn off the engine immediately. Allow it to idle for two to three minutes, open the engine hood, and then call for assistance. When the water temperature warning occurs while the engine is running at high speed, the substantial heat generated hasn't dissipated yet. Idling helps the water temperature to decrease, minimizing potential engine damage caused by overheating.

How to Determine the Distance to the Rear of the Vehicle in Front?

With a normal driving posture, observe the vehicle in front through the lower edge of the windshield. When you can just see the upper edge of the right front headlight of the vehicle in front, the closest distance is approximately 10 centimeters. When you can see the upper edge of the left rear trunk corner of the vehicle in front, the closest distance is about 5 centimeters. When you can see the logo at the center of the rear of the vehicle in front, the closest distance is roughly 2 centimeters. Here is some relevant information: 1. Precautions: If you are driving, you can check the left and right distances through the rearview mirrors. If you notice a larger gap on the left, slightly turn the steering wheel to the left. If the gap is larger on the right, adjust the steering wheel to the right. Remember to make minor adjustments to avoid collisions with adjacent vehicles due to excessive movement. 2. Tips: Sometimes, it can be challenging to maintain balanced left and right distances while driving due to complex real-world conditions. Therefore, when adjusting distances using the rearview mirrors, always consider the actual road conditions. The minimum requirement is to avoid driving over the lane markings.
