Solutions for a locked steering wheel are as follows: 1. From a psychological perspective: Do not panic when the steering wheel locks up, and pay attention to safety; 2. If it's due to the anti-theft system being activated, try wiggling the steering wheel left and right: Hold both sides of the steering wheel and wiggle it while turning the key. The first attempt may not succeed, so try several times; 3. If the steering wheel malfunctions, call a repair shop: This situation may be caused by a stuck steering wheel universal joint or a steering gear failure, so it's necessary to contact a repair shop promptly.

What is the difference between mineral oil and semi-synthetic oil?

Mineral oil and semi-synthetic oil differ in that: mineral oil is refined from petroleum as a base and then mixed with additives; semi-synthetic oil is synthesized through chemical methods and then mixed with additives. Automotive oil is a lubricant for the engine system, possessing certain anti-oxidation, anti-wear, and anti-corrosion properties. The functions of oil are: 1. As a lubricant, it reduces friction and damage between moving parts; 2. As a coolant, it absorbs heat generated in the engine combustion chamber and piston top, cooling the engine and protecting it from overheating. 3. As a sealant, it fills the space between the piston rings and cylinder liner to prevent the leakage of combustion pressure.

What documents are required for motorcycles to access highways?

To ride a motorcycle on the highway, you need a motorcycle driver's license. Here are several additional conditions that must be met for motorcycles on highways: 1. Wear a safety helmet: Due to the high speed on highways and the relatively lower safety performance of motorcycles, wearing a helmet that complies with traffic regulations is necessary to ensure driving safety. 2. Drive in the rightmost lane: High-speed driving is no joke. When riding on the highway, motorcycles must stay in the rightmost lane and are prohibited from changing lanes. Zigzagging through traffic on the highway is not allowed. 3. No passengers: Motorcycles are not allowed to carry passengers on highways. Given the high speed, carrying passengers poses significant safety risks. 4. Speed control: According to relevant traffic regulations, the speed of motorcycles on highways must be maintained between 60km/h and 80km/h.

Do You Need to Press AC When Turning on the Air Conditioner in Winter?

You do not need to press the AC button when turning on the air conditioner in winter. The AC button controls the car's air conditioning compressor, which is only necessary when cooling in the summer. Pressing the AC button activates the compressor to provide cooling. Warm air, on the other hand, utilizes the car's internal heat circulation principle and does not require the air conditioning compressor. The heating system uses the heat generated by the engine to warm the air. After the engine's cooling system dissipates heat, a fan directs this heat into the car's cabin to produce warm air. Even if the heating is not turned on, the heat generated by the engine's operation is expelled outside the car. Car heating is a form of waste heat recycling. Using the heating system in winter does not affect the car's performance or increase fuel consumption.
