If the wheel hub is scratched and the situation is severe, it should be taken to a repair shop for restoration, which involves grinding and repainting the hub. The wheel hub is the rotating part of the wheel core connected by columns within the tire's inner contour, supporting the metal component at the center of the tire mounted on the axle. The maintenance methods for the wheel hub are: 1. When the vehicle is in a humid area, the hub should be cleaned frequently to prevent salt from corroding the aluminum surface; 2. If necessary, after cleaning thoroughly, wax can be applied to the hub for maintenance to keep it shiny; 3. When the hub temperature is high, it should be allowed to cool naturally before cleaning. Do not use cold water to clean it, as this can damage the aluminum hub, cause the brake disc to deform, and affect braking performance. Using cleaning agents on the hub can cause chemical reactions on its surface, leading to loss of shine.

What does TCS mean in cars?

TCS in cars stands for Traction Control System, which consists of: engine control unit (ECU), transmission control unit (TCU), ABS control unit, and wheel speed sensors. The working principle of TCS is: 1. When the TCS control unit detects wheel slip (driven wheel speed higher than other wheels), it notifies the engine control unit; 2. The engine control unit reduces throttle opening to decrease power output and adjusts ignition timing; 3. After the engine control unit reduces fuel injection to decrease power, the transmission control unit forces upshifts to reduce driving force; 4. The ABS pump solenoid valves activate to apply braking force to the slipping wheels, eliminating tire slip.

Should You Start an Automatic Transmission Car in P or N Gear?

Automatic transmission cars should be started in P gear because the vehicle's ignition logic defaults to starting in P gear, and the car cannot be started in N gear. The electronic parking brake is automatically engaged when in P gear. The steps to start an automatic transmission car are: 1. Turn the key to the power position; 2. Press the foot brake and shift the gear from P to N; 3. Release the foot brake and turn the key to the ignition position to start the engine; 4. Press the foot brake, release the handbrake, and shift the gear from N to D; 5. Release the foot brake. Automatic transmission cars have gears P, R, N, D, S, and L, and they work by using planetary gear mechanisms to automatically shift gears based on the degree of throttle pedal pressure and changes in vehicle speed.
