This is due to the steering wheel being locked after the engine was turned off and the steering wheel was moved. Below is relevant information about car steering wheels: 1. Origin of car steering wheels: In the 1950s, concept cars without steering wheels were introduced, but consumers showed no interest in them. Because a car without a steering wheel simply cannot be called a car. 2. How to hold a car steering wheel: The correct way to hold the steering wheel is: sit upright and place your hands at the positions similar to 10:10 or 9:15 on a clock. While driving, except when necessary, do not operate with one hand for a long time, nor place your hand on the gear shift or window frame for extended periods. When turning the steering wheel, do not use excessive force or make sudden turns. Do not turn the steering wheel when the vehicle is stationary. When driving on bumpy roads, hold the steering wheel firmly with both hands to prevent loss of control and potential accidents.

Once air starts coming out of the vents, adjust the temperature to a comfortable level and set the airflow direction. 3. Note: Do not open the windows while the air conditioning is on to avoid wasting energy and fuel by preventing the temperature from dropping effectively. 4. Do not turn on the air conditioning if the refrigerant is insufficient, as this may increase the burden on the system and shorten its lifespan.

What Kind of Glasses Can Block High Beams?

Generally speaking, polarized sunglasses can help block high beams. Here is a brief introduction to polarized sunglasses: 1. Polarized sunglasses are designed based on the principle of polarization, which can eliminate and filter out most of the scattered light in the beam. This allows light to enter the eyes normally for imaging, making what you see clearer and more natural. 2. Polarized sunglasses with brown or coffee-colored lenses can enhance color contrast, making them the preferred choice for driving. 3. Polarized prescription sunglasses have a limited lifespan and typically need to be replaced every 1 to 2 years.

Can You Turn Left When the Straight Signal is Green?

Whether you can turn left when the straight signal is green depends on the specific situation. Here are the details: 1. At an intersection with standard three-color traffic lights, you can turn left when the light is green, but you must yield to oncoming vehicles going straight. 2. If there are arrow lane signals, when the straight arrow is green but the left-turn arrow is red, you cannot turn left, but you can enter the left-turn waiting area. When the left arrow turns green, vehicles in that lane can proceed to turn left. The relevant regulations are as follows: "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" (State Council Order No. 405) Article 38 states: 1. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. 2. When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to proceed, but turning vehicles must not impede the passage of vehicles going straight or pedestrians. 3. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. 4. At intersections without non-motor vehicle or pedestrian crossing signals, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians should follow the motor vehicle signal indications. 5. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may proceed if they do not impede the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians.

Where is the engine oil pump located?

Most automotive engine oil pumps are installed inside the engine, while a small portion of vehicle oil pumps are mounted near the engine oil pan. The functions of the oil pump are as follows: 1. It pressurizes oil from the oil pan to the filter, ensuring that the oil can still be delivered to various lubrication channels and friction surfaces of moving parts after passing through the filter. 2. When the engine is running, the oil pump continuously operates to maintain uninterrupted circulation of oil within the lubrication system. 3. If the oil pump becomes damaged, symptoms such as abnormal noises, increased sound levels, and power loss may occur. Failure to address these issues promptly could lead to engine cylinder scoring, and in severe cases, may result in complete engine failure.

What is AIRBAG car?

AIRBAG is not a car brand, but an airbag. More information about AIRBAG is as follows: 1. Generally, models with steering wheel airbags are marked with the AIRBAG logo. Areas marked with SRS or AIRBAG inside the vehicle indicate where the airbags are folded and stored. 2. The full name of the airbag is electronic safety airbag, which is used in conjunction with the seat belts in the vehicle. In the event of an accident, the airbag inflates rapidly to protect the safety of passengers, reducing facial injuries by about 80% and head injuries by about 20%. 3. The protection principle of airbags: When a car suffers a certain collision force, the airbag system triggers a chemical reaction similar to a small dose of explosive detonation. The airbag hidden in the car inflates and pops out instantly, acting as a cushion before the passenger's body collides with the vehicle's equipment, reducing the impact force on the body and thereby minimizing passenger injuries.

How often should a 5-seat motor vehicle undergo inspection?

According to the relevant provisions of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law": Article 16: Motor vehicles shall undergo safety technical inspections according to the following periods from the date of registration: Operational passenger vehicles: once a year within 5 years; once every 6 months after exceeding 5 years. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-operational passenger vehicles: once a year within 10 years; once every 6 months after exceeding 10 years. Small and mini non-operational passenger vehicles: once every 2 years within 6 years; once a year after exceeding 6 years; once every 6 months after exceeding 15 years. Motorcycles: once every 2 years within 4 years; once a year after exceeding 4 years. Tractors and other motor vehicles: once a year. Operational motor vehicles that pass the safety technical inspection within the specified inspection period do not need to repeat the inspection. Vehicles exceeding the scrapping age cannot be transferred (sold or bought), but can continue to be used. For transactions, the vehicle owner can first apply for a scrapping certificate (to deregister the vehicle's file) at the vehicle management office, and then proceed with the transaction. Additional notes: Trucks and large or medium-sized non-operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within 10 years and once every 6 months after exceeding 10 years. Motorcycles must be inspected once every 2 years within 4 years and once a year after exceeding 4 years. The main items included in the annual vehicle inspection are: Appearance inspection: mainly checks vehicle lights, body appearance, suspension, sunroof, and tires. It verifies if the lights are functioning properly, if there are any unlit lights, if the body color has been changed, and if the suspension has been modified. Emission inspection: checks whether the exhaust emissions from the vehicle's tailpipe meet national standards during high-speed operation. On-road inspection: mainly checks the vehicle's braking system, headlights, horn, and chassis. Violation check: before the annual inspection, all traffic violation records of the vehicle must be cleared to pass the inspection. Vehicle inspections can be conducted up to 90 days in advance but must not be overdue. According to Article 47, Paragraph 4 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Management Regulations," vehicles that fail to undergo safety technical inspections within the specified period will be issued a warning or fined by the public traffic management department. The inspection can only proceed after the fine is paid. Consequences of failing to inspect on time include: Vehicles that have not undergone the annual inspection on time are not allowed on the road. Driving a vehicle without an annual inspection will result in 3 penalty points and a fine. If an uninspected vehicle is involved in a traffic accident, the driver will bear full or primary responsibility, and the insurance company will not compensate. Driving without an annual inspection is considered illegal and may result in vehicle impoundment.
