When you find the car steering wheel locked, it is easy to unlock it by following the correct steps. First, insert the key and press the brake, then turn the steering wheel left and right. Although the steering wheel is in a locked state at this time, it can still be slightly turned a little bit. While turning the steering wheel, turn the key to complete the steering wheel unlocking process. Here is some related information about the car's auto-lock function: 1. The auto-lock function has another name, called a speed detector. When a certain speed is reached, the auto-lock function will automatically activate to prevent the doors from opening accidentally. This design can effectively ensure the safety of the driver and passengers and reduce the occurrence of accidents. 2. When the speed reaches a certain set value, the vehicle speed will automatically decrease. Generally, this speed is set between 10-20 km/h. Some vehicles have other handling methods. When the gear is engaged with the transmission, the lock button will also automatically activate to prevent the doors from opening accidentally.

Where is the Plane Bearing Located?

Automotive plane bearings are located at the top of the shock absorber, together with the shock absorber top rubber. Plane bearings, also known as pressure bearings, are most commonly found in MacPherson-type suspensions. Plane bearings consist of a flat cage assembly with needles, cylindrical rollers, or steel balls, and flat washers. More details are as follows: 1. Plane bearings in vehicles serve as a shock-absorbing and movable connection between the car body, preventing direct friction between shafts. The advantages of plane bearings include: high load capacity and stiffness in a compact space due to the use of high-precision cylindrical rollers, which increase contact length. 2. Another advantage is that if the surface of adjacent components is suitable as a raceway, the washer can be omitted, making the design more compact. DF plane needle bearings and plane cylindrical roller bearings use profiled surfaces for needles and cylindrical rollers, reducing edge stress and extending service life. 3. Plane bearings primarily bear axial loads in assemblies and are widely used. Although the installation of plane bearings is relatively simple, errors often occur during actual maintenance, such as incorrect positioning of the bearing's tight and loose rings, leading to bearing failure and rapid wear of the shaft neck.

How Long Do Iridium Spark Plugs Last?

Iridium spark plugs should be replaced every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Under normal maintenance conditions, automobile spark plugs are typically replaced after traveling 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type. It is recommended to follow the guidelines in the user manual. The following standards can be referenced for maintenance and replacement: platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, standard nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Steps for replacing spark plugs: Open the engine hood, lift the plastic cover of the engine, and remove the high-voltage distributor wires. Mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for any external debris such as leaves or dust and ensure everything is cleaned thoroughly. Place the new spark plugs into the spark plug holes, hand-tighten them a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten them further. Reinstall the removed high-voltage distributor wires according to the firing order, then secure the cover.

Fix the light fixture on the door panel; 4. After securing the welcome light, connect the power wires to the positive and negative terminals of the door light and test if it works properly; 5. After successful testing, reattach the door panel. Additional information: 1. Door welcome lights are mainly used at the car door position, and the logo on the welcome light varies depending on the car model. Currently, there are over 100 logo options available to suit the preferences of a wide range of car consumers. The first function of car welcome lights is to showcase the brand's noble temperament, and the second is to illuminate the path to the door for passengers, creating a welcoming feeling. 2. The LED light source is refracted through a lens onto a film, and then the specific logo image is projected onto the illuminated object by the lens behind the film. A series of optical reactions achieve the desired effect, which is the internal structure of the welcome light.

How long can a vehicle be started after wading through water?

Whether a vehicle can be started after wading through water depends on the extent of the wading. The specific situations are as follows: 1. No damage: If the electronic system and engine of the car are not damaged after wading through water, it can be started immediately. 2. Severe wading: If the engine stalls due to severe wading, the engine should not be restarted. Restarting the engine in this case may cause serious damage to the car's engine. Extended information: Reasons for abnormal noises after a vehicle wades through water: 1. Brake pads getting wet: If the vehicle wades through shallow water and water splashes onto the brake pads, it is normal to hear abnormal noises when braking. In this case, just drive normally, and the noise will stop once the brake pads dry. 2. Foreign objects between the brake pads and calipers: If the vehicle wades through shallow water and foreign objects such as plastic bags or mud get stuck between the brake pads and calipers, abnormal noises may occur when braking. This can be resolved by cleaning the brake pads. 3. Water ingestion in the exhaust pipe: If the vehicle wades through deep water and water enters the engine through the exhaust pipe, it may prevent the fuel and air mixture in the engine from burning properly, resulting in abnormal noises. In this case, the vehicle should be moved out immediately, and the engine should be cleaned. Otherwise, it may lead to engine failure or even total engine damage. 4. Foreign objects stuck in the chassis: If foreign objects get stuck in the chassis after the vehicle passes through a wading area, abnormal noises may occur while driving. This can be resolved by cleaning the chassis.
