Steering wheel is in a locked state. After pulling out the car key, if you turn the steering wheel left or right, the steering wheel's self-locking function will be activated. The steering lock pin and steering column will engage together, making the steering wheel immovable. Even if you insert the key and try to turn it forcefully, it won't budge. Functional principle of car steering wheel lock: 1. The principle is that through the rotation of the key, a steel pin is controlled by a spring. After the key is pulled out, as long as the steering wheel is turned, the pin will pop into a pre-drilled hole, locking the steering wheel to ensure it cannot be turned. 2. Every time the engine is turned off and the key is removed, the steering wheel enters a ready-to-lock state. Any rotation of the steering wheel will immediately trigger the lock. In the locked state, the steering wheel cannot be turned, the key cannot be rotated, and the car cannot be started, thereby achieving anti-theft functionality.

At what temperature does the Roewe 550's fan start working?

Normally, the fan of the Roewe 550 starts working at around 95°C. Here is more information about the car's cooling system: 1. The car's cooling system is divided into a large cycle and a small cycle. When the engine is cold and the temperature is low, the engine operates in the small cycle first to reach the working temperature of 90°C as quickly as possible. 2. When the temperature rises to the normal level, the thermostat opens, and the large cycle starts working. The coolant begins to pass through the radiator, and the temperature drops by 1°C–2°C. When the temperature rises again to 90°C–94°C, the fan starts rotating at a low speed to dissipate heat. 3. When the temperature further rises to 96°C–102°C, the fan switches to high-speed rotation for heat dissipation. The above process takes only 15–20 minutes at idle, and the time is even shorter during normal driving. Therefore, a trip of 30–50 kilometers is sufficient. In winter, if the vehicle is parked for 7–8 minutes, the engine temperature will drop by at most 10°C.

What transmission does the Avalon use?

The Avalon uses two types of transmissions: a CVT transmission and an 8AT transmission. The Avalon is a mid-sized car under the Toyota brand, and it is equipped with two engines: a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. Below are the relevant details: 1. The 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine in the Avalon has a maximum power output of 131 kW and a maximum torque of 210 Nm. This engine delivers its maximum power at 6,600 rpm and its maximum torque between 4,400 and 5,200 rpm. It features VVT-ie technology and hybrid injection technology, and it uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The use of aluminum alloy reduces the engine's weight, thereby improving the car's handling. This engine is paired with a CVT transmission. 2. The 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine in the Avalon has a maximum power output of 154 kW at 6,600 rpm and a maximum torque of 250 Nm at 5,000 rpm. This engine also features VVT-ie technology and hybrid injection technology, and it uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with an 8AT transmission, which enhances gear-shifting smoothness and fuel efficiency.

How many months in advance can a motor vehicle undergo its annual inspection?

Motor vehicles can undergo their annual inspection up to 3 months in advance. According to Article 40 of Order No. 102 issued by the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China: The owner of a motor vehicle may apply for the inspection compliance mark at the vehicle management office of the registration location within three months before the expiration of the motor vehicle's inspection validity period. Documents required for the annual vehicle inspection: Original copy of the compulsory motor vehicle traffic accident liability insurance certificate (duplicate); Safety technical inspection compliance certificate (provided by the vehicle inspection station); Original motor vehicle driving license; Proof of payment of vehicle and vessel usage tax; Original ID card of the vehicle owner (if handled by a proxy, the proxy's ID card is also required). Annual inspection procedure: First, after submitting the inspection application, an on-site inspection is conducted. The vehicle is driven into the automatic inspection area to sequentially check whether the exhaust emissions, speed, lights, side slip, and chassis meet the standards. All items must pass to proceed. Next is the appearance inspection, verifying the accuracy of the vehicle's license plate, type, body color, engine number, VIN code, and frame number. Then, the body appearance is inspected, including details such as the bumper, engine compartment, rearview mirrors, lower mirrors, window glass, paint, engine operation condition, and the interior of passenger vehicles and wheels. Finally, the owner can obtain the inspection report and application form from the inspector. If all inspection items pass, the owner can proceed to pay the inspection fee and collect the driving license and compliance label. If any items fail, the owner must make repairs and undergo a re-inspection until all items pass before proceeding with the visa procedures.

How to Remove the Steering Wheel of a Zotye T600

There are two bolts under the steering wheel of the Zotye T600. First, remove the bolts and gently lift the steering wheel. Then, disconnect the clock spring connector from the generator. Note that there is usually a lock on the connector. Finally, pull out the small pin to remove the steering wheel. Here are the detailed steps for removing the steering wheel of a Zotye T600: 1. Disconnect the Zotye T600 battery. 2. Turn the Zotye T600 steering wheel approximately 90°. 3. Insert a small flat-head screwdriver into the hole behind the steering wheel from front to back. 4. Insert the screwdriver head between the retaining spring and the airbag hook. Use gentle force to lift the retaining spring away from the hook, and the airbag will automatically pop slightly toward the seat. 5. Then, turn the Zotye T600 steering wheel 180° and repeat the process on the opposite side to release the retaining spring (if it is difficult, gently press the already lifted side of the airbag, but avoid applying too much force to re-engage the clip into the retaining spring). 6. Remove the airbag, release the yellow safety latch behind the airbag, and unplug the airbag connector to remove the airbag. 7. Unplug the airbag coupling coil connector located above the inside of the steering wheel. 8. Use a spline wrench to loosen the central fixing bolt of the steering wheel counterclockwise. 9. Finally, carefully remove the Zotye T600 steering wheel (be cautious to prevent the coupling coil below from rotating accidentally).

How to Operate Straight-line Driving in Subject 2?

In Subject 2, the method for straight-line driving requires the driver to clearly see the road conditions ahead, with higher speeds demanding a longer line of sight. Below is an introduction to Subject 2: 1. Introduction: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the field driving skills test. 2. Content: The test items for small vehicles C1 and C2 include five mandatory items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving on a curve. For large vehicles A1, A2, A3, B1, and B2, the test items include pole test, stopping and starting on a slope, parallel parking, crossing a single-plank bridge, driving on a curve, turning at a right angle, passing through a width-limited gate, navigating continuous obstacles, driving on bumpy roads, making a U-turn on a narrow road, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountainous roads, tunnels, rainy and foggy conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling. 3. Development: Starting from June 1, 2021, the 'stopping and starting on a slope' item will be removed from the Subject 2 test for small automatic transmission vehicle driver's licenses.
