This is usually caused by the steering wheel being locked. Simply insert the key and turn the steering wheel to resolve the issue. This situation generally occurs when the engine is turned off before the steering wheel is straightened or when the steering wheel is turned after the engine is shut down. Below is an introduction to the Haval H1: 1. The Haval H1 is a compact SUV under Great Wall Motors, equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed AMT transmission. It delivers a maximum horsepower of 106 hp, a maximum power of 78 kW, and a maximum torque of 138 N·m. 2. There are two body size options: one measures 3995 mm in length, 1728 mm in width, 1617 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2383 mm; the other measures 3995 mm in length, 1728 mm in width, 1617 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2460 mm. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 5.8 liters and 6 liters, respectively. The fuel tank capacity is 45 liters, the trunk volume is 330 liters, and the vehicle weight is 1106 kg. 3. The drive system is front-wheel drive, and the suspension consists of front MacPherson struts paired with rear trailing arm torsion beam composite, ensuring the vehicle's off-road capability and shock absorption. The front and rear tire specifications are both 205/60-R16.

Last time I was driving my Haval H1, the steering wheel suddenly became immovable. I quickly lightly pressed the brakes to slow down, avoiding forcing the steering wheel to prevent potential damage to the power steering system or tires. First, I pulled over safely, turned off the engine, and briefly checked if the power steering pump or motor was stuck or making unusual noises. Sometimes, low battery voltage can cause electronic power steering to fail. Most Haval H1 models use electric power steering, and without regular maintenance, electrical issues can easily arise. I immediately turned on the hazard lights and found a safe place to stop, avoiding the risk of driving further to prevent accidents. Later, I took it to a 4S shop for inspection, and it turned out the steering gear connector was loose. Regular checks of tires and steering fluid are crucial. For similar faults, it's best not to delay—getting a professional diagnosis at a repair shop is always the right choice. Safety comes first.

Can Motorcycles Go on Overpasses?

Generally, motorcycles are not allowed on overpasses, but they can be driven on overpasses or interchanges where there are no explicit prohibitions against motorcycles. Introduction 1: Typically, vehicles on overpasses travel at high speeds, requiring consistent speed maintenance. Motorcycles are prone to being cut off by other vehicles, have poor stability, and are affected by strong crosswinds. Therefore, many cities prohibit motorcycles from using overpasses. Violations usually result in fines and penalty points. Introduction 2: Motorcycle riders must strictly adhere to traffic rules. Due to structural limitations, two-wheeled motorcycles and lightweight motorcycles have poor balance during operation, making them prone to tipping over and causing traffic accidents. The small size of motorcycles often leads to dangerous behaviors such as lane changes and overtaking, especially in tunnels.

Why are total loss vehicles auctioned before compensation?

Total loss vehicles are auctioned before compensation because the insurance company needs to deduct the salvage value. Introduction 1: The specific compensation amount for a total loss vehicle does not entirely follow the amount stated on the insurance policy. When a vehicle suffers a total loss, if the insured amount is higher than the actual value at the time of the incident, the actual compensation limit for the total loss is the actual salvage value at the time of the incident multiplied by (1 - deductible rate). Introduction 2: If the insured amount is equal to or lower than the actual value at the time of the incident, the compensation is calculated based on the insured amount. In this case, the final actual compensation received is (insured amount - salvage value) multiplied by (1 - deductible rate).
