The reasons why the car still pulls to one side after wheel alignment: 1. Check if the steering tie rods in the chassis are deformed or misaligned; 2. Check if the wheel balancing weights are damaged or missing; 3. The wheel alignment might have been performed with the vehicle in a pit-type setup or without all four wheels being suspended. Wheel alignment is based on the four-wheel parameters of the vehicle, and adjustments are made to ensure good driving performance and a certain level of reliability. The installation of the steering wheels, steering knuckles, and front axle in a car has a specific relative position, which is called steering wheel alignment, also known as front wheel alignment. Front wheel alignment includes four aspects: caster angle, kingpin inclination angle, camber angle, and toe-in.

How Wide Can a Car Be to Fit in a 2.2 Meter Parking Space?

2.2-meter parking spaces can only accommodate cars with a width of less than 1.85 meters, as the car's two side mirrors will add extra width, exceeding the 2.2-meter limit. Below is an introduction to parking spaces: 1. Introduction: Parking spaces are designated areas planned by relevant authorities specifically for parking. Some are located in underground parking lots, while others are in ordinary residential areas. Generally, residential parking spaces are divided into two categories: parking spots and garages. 2. Government Parking Spaces: To alleviate traffic congestion and address the parking difficulties for residents in urban centers, the Beijing municipal government has taken the lead in opening government compound parking lots to nearby residents, implementing staggered parking. 3. Design Standards: Divided into four levels, for cars with a length not exceeding 6 meters and a width not exceeding 1.8 meters, the standard spacing between cars is no less than 0.5 meters, and the spacing between cars and walls or the ends of parking spaces is no less than 0.5 meters. For cars with a length greater than 6 meters but not exceeding 8 meters and a width greater than 1.8 meters but not exceeding 2.2 meters, the spacing between cars should be no less than 0.7 meters, etc. The corresponding standard for turning sections is to meet the needs of a car making a one-time turn.

How Often Should Chassis Oil Be Changed?

Chassis oil should be changed every 5,600 kilometers. Below is an introduction to automobile chassis maintenance: 1. Timely inspection: This includes the transmission, braking system, power steering system, etc. On one hand, strictly follow the time regulations specified in the manual and go to the authorized service station for replenishment or replacement regularly. On the other hand, conduct your own inspections and observations. Generally, you can check when refueling the car to see if the oil in each reservoir is between the upper and lower scale lines. If it is below the lower scale line, replenish it promptly. If the oil level drops quickly, it indicates a system leak, and the leak must be identified and repaired immediately. One crucial point to note is that the oil added must be of the same specification and brand as the original to avoid chemical reactions caused by mixing different oils, which could lead to oil deterioration and be counterproductive. 2. Pay attention to brake pads and clutch plates: Both brake pads and clutch plates are consumables. After a period of use, they will wear out and lose their original function. Failure to replace them in time can easily lead to accidents. Generally, cars have corresponding warning indicators that will promptly send warning signals to remind users to replace them. As a side note, in rainy and humid weather, friction plates absorb moisture, significantly reducing friction. In such cases, lightly press the brake and clutch a few times when starting the car to use the heat generated by friction to evaporate the moisture on the friction plates before driving.

How long does it take to pick up the BYD Qin Plus DM-i?

It takes about 45 working days for the BYD Qin PLUS DM-i, and the waiting time may even be longer. Here is some related information about the BYD Qin PLUS: Overall Appearance: Compared to the previous model, the Qin PLUS has undergone changes to the front and rear, significantly enhancing its premium feel. The entire car looks more minimalist and harmonious. Design Style: The grille adopts a design very similar to the Han DM, featuring a chrome strip that runs across the front, with the "Qin" logo embedded in the middle. Below it is a large dot-matrix grille. The front bumper has removed the previously complex design elements on both sides, and the small air ducts have also been eliminated.

What Causes Electric Vehicle Charging to Trip?

Power shortage precursors, such as overload, leakage, aging or faulty circuit breakers with leakage protection, can cause tripping. Touch the plastic casing of the circuit breaker to check its temperature—if it feels hot, it indicates an overload or aging circuit breaker issue (only the circuit breaker trips, and the leakage protection reset button does not pop out). If it doesn't feel hot, it suggests a leakage or aging leakage protection issue (the reset button pops out). If unsure, it's recommended to visit a 4S shop for inspection. Below are some precautions for electric vehicle charging: 1. Charge daily: Even if the daily driving distance is short, it's advisable to charge the battery daily to keep it in a shallow cycle, which helps extend battery life. Pay attention to these small details during charging; otherwise, not only the battery but also the charging station and your vehicle may suffer damage. 2. Do not unplug the charging gun while charging: Due to the limited number of EV charging stations, queuing is common. Some owners, in a hurry, unplug the charging gun before power is cut off. This not only damages the car battery but also the charging station. Therefore, even if you're in a hurry, wait until the charging gun stops working before unplugging it.

What is the power consumption of an electric vehicle?

Generally, an electric vehicle consumes 10-15 kWh per 100 kilometers. The following precautions should be taken for electric vehicles: 1. Regular inspection: If the driving range of a new energy vehicle suddenly drops significantly, it is likely that at least one battery in the battery pack has a problem. In this case, you should immediately go to a repair shop for timely handling. 2. Avoid overcharging: New energy vehicles should avoid overcharging, over-discharging, and insufficient charging, as these will shorten the battery life. During use, the charging time and frequency should be determined based on the actual vehicle condition. If the battery indicator light comes on, charge it as soon as possible; otherwise, over-discharging the battery will affect its lifespan. 3. Keep the battery charged even during long-term parking: Some owners believe that if the vehicle is not used for a long time, there is no need to worry about parking the new energy vehicle in a discharged state, as long as it is charged before the next use. This is a major misconception. Storing the battery in a discharged state can easily lead to sulfation, where lead sulfate crystals adhere to the battery plates, causing significant harm to the battery.

What Causes Intermittent Electronic Power Steering Issues?

Intermittent electronic power steering issues may be caused by excessive air in the power steering system, leading to abnormal vehicle steering, or poor contact in the internal connectors or motor of the electronic power steering system. The advantages of electronic power steering are as follows: 1. High efficiency: Hydraulic power steering systems typically have an efficiency of 60% to 70%, while EPS (Electric Power Steering) systems are more efficient, reaching up to 90% or higher. 2. Better road feel: Traditional hydraulic power steering systems mostly use a fixed amplification ratio, requiring significant driving force, but they cannot achieve both lightness and good road feel at various speeds. The lag characteristics of EPS systems can be compensated for by the EPS controller's software, ensuring satisfactory steering assistance at all speeds. 3. Excellent returnability: The EPS system has a simple structure, making it easy to operate. Additionally, by adjusting the EPS controller's software, optimal returnability can be achieved, improving the vehicle's handling stability and comfort.
