Hold the steering wheel with your left hand and gently shake it, while simultaneously shaking and turning the key with your right hand to unlock. After turning off the engine, try not to touch the steering wheel again. Even if you need to straighten the steering wheel, start the engine to operate it.

Why is the steering wheel heavy?

Steering wheel heavy reasons are: 1. Insufficient tire pressure; 2. Contaminated power steering fluid; 3. Internal failure of the power assist system; 4. Poor bearing lubrication. The working principle of a car steering wheel is to transmit torque to the rack and pinion mechanism, thereby pushing the wheels to turn left or right. Solutions for a heavy steering wheel include: 1. Replenishing hydraulic power steering fluid; 2. Replacing circuit fuses; 3. Replacing flat bearings and replenishing kingpin grease; 4. Increasing lubrication for the steering tie rod ball joint pins. Steering wheels are categorized into: single-spoke, double-spoke, three-spoke, and four-spoke steering wheels.

Which is more fuel-efficient, coasting in neutral or coasting in gear?

Coasting in neutral is more fuel-efficient. Coasting in neutral refers to the operation method where the driver shifts the gear lever into the neutral position while the vehicle is moving, disengaging the clutch between the engine and the drive wheels, and using the vehicle's inertia to move forward. However, coasting in neutral can easily cause the vehicle to stall and is not beneficial for the car's engine. Coasting in gear refers to keeping the car in gear without pressing the clutch or accelerating, allowing the vehicle to coast forward under a certain level of engine braking. This method is only applicable to manual transmission cars; automatic transmission cars should not coast in gear. The hazards of coasting in neutral include: 1. Damage to the transmission; 2. Increased braking time and distance, affecting driving safety.
