The inability to control volume adjustment via the steering wheel buttons is mainly due to oxidized button contacts or a bug in the multimedia system. Below is a detailed introduction about car steering wheels: Overview: The steering wheel (Steering-Wheel) is the wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of vehicles such as cars, engineering machinery, and agricultural vehicles. The steering wheel is generally connected to the steering shaft via splines. Additional Information: By controlling the steering wheel, the driver can maintain or change the direction of the car's movement according to their intention. In the event of a frontal collision accident, whether due to the steering wheel moving backward or the driver hitting the steering wheel, the driver can be injured.

I encountered this situation last time too. I kept pressing the volume buttons on the steering wheel but got no response, which totally confused me. I specifically asked an old buddy at the auto repair shop, and he said to first check three things: First, see if the steering wheel buttons themselves are stuck—sometimes spilled soda can make them sticky and unresponsive. Second, try other buttons; if the track skip button also fails, it's likely a faulty clock spring coil, and replacing it should fix the issue. Third, reboot the infotainment system by holding the power button for 10 seconds to turn it off and on again—many software bugs can be resolved this way. He also warned me never to dismantle the steering wheel directly, as the airbag deploying is no joke. If none of these steps work, then it's time to visit the shop to check for any short circuits in the wiring.

What are the consequences of oil leakage from spark plugs?

If oil leakage from spark plugs is not addressed, it can lead to poor ignition and abnormal engine operation. Steps to replace spark plugs: Open the hood, lift the plastic engine cover, remove the high-voltage distributor wires, and mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for external debris such as leaves or dust and ensure they are cleaned thoroughly. Place the new spark plug into the spark plug hole, hand-tighten it a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten it further. Reinstall the removed high-voltage distributor wires in the firing order and secure the cover. Methods to determine if a spark plug is damaged: Remove the spark plug and observe its appearance to assess its condition. A normal spark plug's insulator skirt and electrodes should appear gray-white, gray-yellow, or light brown. A properly functioning spark plug will have a reddish-brown insulator skirt, with an electrode gap between 0.8-0.9mm and no signs of electrode burn. If the spark plug is coated with oil or deposits but is otherwise undamaged, it can be reused after cleaning off the oil and deposits. If the spark plug is severely damaged, showing signs like blistering, black streaks, cracks, or melted electrodes, the cause of the damage should be identified and rectified before replacing the spark plug. Additionally, if the spark plug appears black as if smoked, it indicates an incorrect heat range selection or a rich fuel mixture, possibly with oil seepage.

What does the C2 license Subject 2 test include?

The C2 Subject 2 test consists of 4 items: reverse parking, parallel parking, curve driving, and right-angle turns. Some regions also include highway toll card collection. Compared to the C1 manual transmission test, it excludes the hill start. According to Article 25 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), starting from June 1, 2021, the C2 and C5 Subject 2 tests no longer assess hill start and stop. Reverse parking is one of the more challenging items in the Subject 2 test, which is why many test centers place it as the first item. The requirement is to follow the designated route and sequence, ensuring the vehicle is fully parked without crossing lines, scraping lines, or stalling. Students should slow down, observe the left and right rearview mirrors before fully parking, identify the parking points, and adjust the vehicle decisively. Parallel parking focuses on aligning the front line of the parking space with the rear wheel, observing the rear corner in the mirror, and maintaining the distance between the wheel and the left dotted line. After parking, the wheels do not need to be straightened, and the turn signal must not be forgotten when exiting. The vehicle must not exceed the lines when stopped, and the tires must not touch the lane boundaries during movement. Curve driving, commonly known as the S-curve, is manageable for many students with good driving sense, indicating its relatively low difficulty. However, some students misjudge line positions during the actual test, leading to immediate failure by crossing lines. The key is observing the position of the front hood marker points relative to the edge lines. Tires must not touch the road edges. Right-angle turns are even simpler, essentially a breakdown of the exiting part of reverse parking. The method for finding points is the same as exiting: aligning the front hood's horizontal line with the front line (either precisely or slightly delayed). Ensure wheels do not touch the road edges. Highway toll card collection requires slowing down when entering the toll station. There are two methods: manual card collection, where a staff member hands the card to the driver, and self-service card collection. In manual lanes, align the front of the car properly. In self-service lanes, approach the card machine closely. Regardless of the method, shift to neutral and engage the handbrake. Typically, C1 Subject 2 requires 16 hours of training, while C2 requires 14 hours. Completing the training hours is a basic requirement for taking the Subject 2 test. Hours can only be increased, not reduced, and additional items require corresponding extra hours. Each hour is 60 minutes, with effective teaching time no less than 45 minutes. If a student fails Subject 2, they can retake it once. If they fail again, the test ends, and they must reschedule after 10 days. If they fail five consecutive test attempts (including retakes, totaling 10 attempts), all previously passed subjects are voided, and they must restart from Subject 1.

How Many Axles Does a 4.2-Meter Truck Have?

4.2-meter trucks are 2-axle vehicles. Below is relevant knowledge about truck drive shafts: 1. Composition: A drive shaft consists of a shaft tube, telescopic sleeve, and universal joint. The drive shaft (DriveShaft) connects or assembles various components while being a movable or rotatable circular component, typically made of lightweight alloy steel pipes with excellent torsional resistance. 2. Quality Requirements: As a high-speed rotating body with minimal supports, dynamic balance is crucial for drive shafts. Generally, drive shafts undergo dynamic balance testing before leaving the factory and are adjusted on balancing machines.

How are points deducted when motorcycle and car driving licenses are merged?

After the motorcycle license and car license are merged, points are deducted on this single merged license, which can be considered as being deducted on either the motorcycle license or the car license. The total remains 12 points, and regardless of which vehicle is involved in a violation, points are deducted from these 12 points. Here is additional information: Relevant regulations: The traffic management department of the public security authority implements a cumulative point system for motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations, in addition to imposing administrative penalties. For drivers whose accumulated points reach the specified limit, the traffic management department will confiscate their motor vehicle driving license, provide education on road traffic safety laws and regulations, and require them to retake the test.
