Steering wheel cannot turn because the steering lock function is triggered when the car is turned off. Solutions for steering wheel not turning: If you turn the steering wheel while the car is off, the steering lock will automatically engage, preventing the wheel from turning. In this case, you can try turning the ignition key while simultaneously turning the steering wheel. This will release the steering lock, allowing the vehicle to start normally and the steering wheel to turn freely. Precautions for using the steering wheel: Avoid turning the steering wheel while the car is stationary; try to steer only after the vehicle starts moving. When parking, always return the steering wheel to the center position to prevent unnecessary stress on the suspension system and tires. When making U-turns, try to avoid turning the steering wheel to its extreme positions. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop for a thorough inspection to identify and resolve any potential issues promptly.

Where is the engine number of the new Sagitar located?

The engine number of the new Sagitar is located at the junction of the engine and the transmission. Here is some information about the engine number: 1. The engine number is stamped on a relatively flat surface of the engine block, consisting of a combination of letters and numbers. Due to the narrow space, it may be difficult to observe, so cleaning the surface dust might help. 2. When registering the vehicle for a license plate, the engine number needs to be imprinted. Some use red oil for imprinting, while others use white paper, with specific requirements varying by region. Additional information: The engine number is unique and traceable. Once registered, the engine has legal effects, meaning that while enjoying rights, obligations must also be fulfilled to prevent illegal modifications and unauthorized use by others. Moreover, there will be no identical engine number within a 30-year cycle until the vehicle is deregistered upon scrapping.

Should the Car Air Conditioning Use Internal or External Circulation in Summer?

In summer, it's recommended to first use the external circulation or open the windows for ventilation before switching to internal circulation. Many car owners habitually turn on the internal circulation as soon as they enter the car during hot summer days, thinking it will cool down the interior faster. However, this is incorrect because the inside temperature is higher than outside, making this approach less effective. Here are some relevant details: 1. External Circulation: This mode draws air from outside the vehicle, filters it through the air conditioning filter, and then circulates it inside the car via the blower. 2. Internal Circulation: This mode blocks the external air intake, recirculating the air already inside the car. Whether using internal or external circulation, exhaust gases inside the car will be expelled through the vents, so there's no need to worry about oxygen levels even when using internal circulation.

What Causes Heavy Throttle and Slow Acceleration?

Heavy throttle and slow acceleration are primarily caused by excessive carbon buildup in the engine. The solutions are as follows: 1. Throttle body cleaning is required. Check for carbon deposits on the fuel injectors. Neglecting detailed maintenance during car servicing, especially for vehicles used over an extended period, can lead to excessive carbon buildup on the fuel injectors, resulting in poor acceleration. The engine, throttle body, and combustion chamber are most prone to carbon deposits, necessitating timely vehicle maintenance and regular cleaning. 2. Inspect the spark plugs for proper functioning; replace them if they are worn out. 3. Frequent start-stop driving in urban areas can also cause poor acceleration. 4. Using low-quality gasoline may lead to sluggish acceleration. Poor-quality gasoline contains impurities that prevent complete combustion in the engine, affecting acceleration and the filtration by the fuel filter. It is advisable to choose reputable gas stations when refueling.

What Are the Effects of Excessive Engine Oil on a Car?

Here is an introduction to the effects caused by excessive engine oil: 1. During engine operation, the crankshaft and connecting rod big end generate intense agitation, increasing internal power loss. Excessive oil reduces engine output power. When the engine is running, the crankshaft and connecting rod big end move rapidly. If there is too much oil, the crankshaft and connecting rod will agitate the oil violently. This agitation consumes a certain amount of energy, which inadvertently reduces the engine's output power and also increases fuel consumption. 2. It can also increase the amount of oil splashed onto the cylinder walls, leading to oil burning. Excessive oil can cause the engine's exhaust pipe to emit blue smoke. With too much oil, the rapid movement of the crankshaft and connecting rod big end inevitably leads to oil splashing. A large amount of splashed oil can enter the combustion chamber and burn, resulting in blue smoke from the exhaust pipe, commonly known as "oil burning." 3. It affects engine cooling.

How to Distinguish Between Imported Cars and Domestic Cars?

Methods to differentiate between imported cars and domestic cars are as follows: 1. Price. Domestic cars are the cheapest; followed by parallel imported cars; the most expensive are regular imported cars. 2. Vehicle models. Parallel imported cars offer models unavailable through domestic or regular import channels, which are further categorized based on import regions, such as "US-spec cars" and "Euro-spec cars". 3. After-sales service and maintenance. Domestic cars are the most convenient and hassle-free; followed by regular imported cars; parallel imported cars are the least favorable as they lack manufacturer warranties, require owners to purchase insurance separately, and many authorized dealerships refuse to service them.
