Location of the steering wheel torque sensor: Below the steering wheel, locate the power steering motor on the steering column. The motor usually has a small metal cover protecting it, with four wires (and a connector) attached—this is the power steering torque sensor. Remove the small metal cover to see it. Below is relevant information: 1. Position of the car steering wheel: Determined by each country's traffic rules and unrelated to the type of vehicle. If the country or region drives on the left, the steering wheel is on the right; if it drives on the right, the steering wheel is on the left. 2. Evolution of steering wheel position: Initially, when Karl Benz invented the car, the steering wheel was centered. However, based on ergonomic principles, over 90% of people are right-handed. To ensure accurate and safe use of the gearshift and brakes, designers naturally placed the driver's seat on the right.

What is the actual fuel consumption of Chery Flagcloud?

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's comprehensive fuel consumption for Chery Flagcloud is 6.5L; urban driving condition fuel consumption is 8.4L; suburban driving condition fuel consumption is 5.4L. Definition of fuel consumption: Fuel consumption generally refers to constant-speed fuel consumption. Constant-speed fuel consumption is the vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers obtained in the constant-speed driving fuel consumption test specified by national standards for certain types of vehicles. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Generally, factors affecting fuel consumption include vehicle condition, driving habits, road conditions, vehicle weight and load, etc. The actual fuel consumption of a car needs to be considered comprehensively from various factors. For example, some drivers drive slowly, accelerate gently and maintain a constant speed, and brake gradually, so the fuel consumption of such driving is estimated to be not too high.

What are the functions of the Corolla steering wheel buttons?

Corolla function buttons include: Vehicle Electronic Stability System, Parking Radar/Camera, and Internal/External Air Circulation. Vehicle Electronic Stability System (ESP): It can effectively prevent loss of control such as vehicle skidding or fishtailing. Generally, it is not recommended for drivers to manually turn it off. Parking Radar/Camera: This button activates the panoramic camera and radar functions, providing audible alerts and visual feedback to help drivers detect surrounding obstacles. Internal/External Air Circulation: Internal circulation heats or cools the air inside the vehicle and recirculates it, while external circulation brings outside air into the vehicle. Use internal circulation in environments with heavy exhaust fumes, dust, or smog, such as during traffic jams. On highways, periodically switch from internal to external circulation, with internal circulation preferably not exceeding 1 hour.

How Many Bars on the Car Temperature Gauge Are Normal?

Car temperature gauge readings between 2 to 4 bars are within the normal range. Reasons for the temperature gauge not moving: 1. Power line is disconnected, or the temperature gauge's heating coil is burnt out; 2. The sensor's heating coil is burnt out or the contact points are not making good contact; 3. The voltage regulator supplying stable power to the temperature gauge circuit is damaged. The temperature gauge can be identified through the gauge itself and the warning light. When the engine temperature is about to rise into the high-temperature zone, the temperature gauge will light up. At this point, you should stop the car, unload the engine load, but do not turn off the engine. Let the engine idle for 5 minutes before turning it off. Then wait for the temperature to gradually decrease, and once the temperature indicator light returns to normal, you can start the vehicle and continue driving.
