The tow hook of the Dongfeng Fengguang 580 is located at the rear of the vehicle body and can be seen at the back of the vehicle. The tow hook cover, also known as the tow hook panel, is primarily used to cover the tow hook to prevent it from being exposed, enhancing the vehicle's aesthetic appeal. The panel is made of plastic, the same material as the front bumper, and can be freely opened and closed. Its shape and size vary depending on the vehicle model. The towing point is located inside the tow hook cover. Below are some parking precautions: 1. No parking in areas with no-parking signs: No-parking signs indicate that all vehicles are prohibited from parking temporarily or for an extended period within the specified range. 2. No parking within yellow grid lines: Yellow grid lines indicate that parking is prohibited in this area for any reason. These are commonly found at intersections, entrances, and exits. 3. Yellow solid lines: Parking is prohibited on roads with yellow solid lines. The length of the yellow solid line indicates the size of the no-parking area. 4. No parking near bus stops: Parking is prohibited in areas such as bus stops, gas stations, emergency stations, and fire hydrants.

Last year when I took my Dongfeng Fengguang 580 for an outing, I used the tow hook. The tow hook positions on this car are quite interesting. The front one is at the lower right corner of the front bumper—look closely and you'll see a small square cover. Pry it open to install the tow hook near the right front wheel. The rear one is hidden under the rear bumper and requires crawling under the car to see clearly; it's located near the chassis longitudinal beam, slightly ahead of the spare tire. When installing, be careful not to scratch the paint. The screw holes tend to collect dust, so it's best to have a brush handy for cleaning. Always remember to turn off the ESP system when towing—last time I forgot and almost skidded. Oh, and if you're not using the tow hook regularly, it's advisable to remove and store it to prevent rusting, which can be a hassle. The owner's manual also includes a diagram of the positions, so you might want to check it out when you have time.

After years of repairing cars, I can locate the tow hook structure of the Dongfeng Fengguang 580 with my eyes closed. The front towing point is on the right side of the front anti-collision beam, approximately 10 cm behind the right front wheel liner, and requires lifting a small plastic cover. The rear tow hook is located behind the exhaust pipe on the chassis, about 20 cm forward from the rear axle, and is revealed only after removing a black protective panel. When installing, use a 17mm socket wrench, with the torque safely controlled at 80 N·m. I've encountered cases where owners installed it incorrectly and deformed the car body—just make sure the tow hook nut is fully threaded in. The tow rope hook buckle should face downward to prevent detachment at high speeds. It's advisable to check the tow points for rust monthly, especially for owners in coastal cities who should pay extra attention to maintenance.

When I first got my Dongfeng Fengguang 580, I couldn't find the tow hook location either. The 4S technician showed me. There's a small round cover under the front bumper, positioned slightly towards the right wheel - just pry it open with a key to install the tow hook. The rear one is near the exhaust pipe, most visible when you crouch down. Remember to choose a tow strap with reflective strips - it proved especially useful when my friend's car got stuck in mud during nighttime recovery. Page 145 of the manual has a diagram, and there's a dedicated tow hook in the trunk toolkit. After installation, give it a shake to confirm stability, and never operate on slopes. Store it properly when not in use, as leaving it exposed can easily lead to knee bumps.

What is the working principle of a torque wrench?

Torque wrench working principle: The torque wrench is designed based on the bending principle of beams, the torsion principle of torsion bars, and the compression principle of helical springs, capable of measuring the torque applied to a nut. Torque wrenches can be categorized into: preset torque wrenches, digital torque wrenches, MINI torque wrenches, fixed-value torque wrenches, dial torque wrenches, sector torque wrenches, and special torque wrenches. The torque wrench first sets an upper limit for the required torque value. When the applied torque reaches the set value, the wrench will emit a clicking sound or bend slightly at the connection point, indicating that the fastener is tight and no additional force should be applied.

Is the Internal Engine Cleaner Useful?

Internal engine cleaner is useful. Here are the functions of the internal engine cleaner: 1. The internal engine cleaner can remove residual sludge in the oil passages and, to some extent, clean carbon deposits from the piston rings and ring grooves, providing practical maintenance for the engine. However, due to its short retention time in the engine lubrication system and the limitations of this no-disassembly cleaning method, the effectiveness of the internal engine cleaner is relatively limited. 2. The engine cleaner, also known as cleaning fluid, is commonly used for cleaning the lubrication system. It is an automotive product designed to remove harmful substances such as sludge, carbon deposits, and gum from inside the engine, helping to maintain internal cleanliness, improve oil flow, reduce wear, and extend the engine's lifespan.

How many more kilometers can you drive when the tire reaches the safety line?

Tires should not be driven further once they reach the safety line. In such cases, it is recommended to replace the tires immediately. Tires are a crucial component of a vehicle, being the only part that comes into direct contact with the ground. They play a vital role in the vehicle's driving stability and safety. As rubber products, tires undergo aging over time with prolonged use, necessitating regular replacement. Under normal circumstances, tires installed on a vehicle can last for four years, so it is advisable for car owners to replace them every four years. For unused tires, the shelf life is typically three years. If a tire has been in storage for more than three years since manufacture, it should not be purchased. After installing new tires, it is essential to perform a dynamic balance test on each wheel.

How does it feel to use 225 and 245 tires?

There are some differences in the experience of using 225 and 245 tires. Here is the introduction: 1. The section width of 225 tires is smaller than that of 245. As we all know, the larger the contact area, the greater the friction. 2. When used on drive wheels, you will feel that the grip of 245 is stronger than that of 225. During rapid acceleration, the response of 245 tires is more agile than that of 225. 3. In terms of driving stability, 245 is more stable than 225. The tread of 245 is wider, and the lateral support is stronger than that of 225, making it more stable when cornering or changing lanes.
