Here are the reasons for steering wheel shaking on the highway: 1. Poor tire dynamic balance: During driving, if a tire experiences a strong local impact, it may cause the balance weights to fall off or become damaged, affecting the tire's dynamic balance. 2. Significant differences in tire pressure among the four tires: When there is a large difference in tire pressure among the four tires, especially between the left and right wheels, the car will experience noticeable bumps and steering wheel shaking at high speeds. 3. Poor wheel alignment: When the wheel alignment angles deviate significantly, the car may exhibit body drift and shaking at high speeds, as well as uneven tire wear, accelerating tire wear and shortening tire lifespan.

Where is the cabin air filter located in the BAIC New Energy EC5?

The cabin air filter in the BAIC New Energy EC5 is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace the cabin air filter, you need to open the glove compartment. The cabin air filter is a type of filter installed in the vehicle's air conditioning system, which can absorb dust particles, alleviate respiratory discomfort, reduce irritation for allergy sufferers, and protect the air conditioning cooling system. Taking the 2020 BAIC New Energy EC5 Fresh Air Edition as an example: it is a compact SUV launched by BAIC New Energy, with dimensions of 4122mm in length, 1750mm in width, and 1545mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2519mm. It is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor, with a maximum power of 70kw, and is paired with a single-speed electric vehicle transmission.

Can DOT4 Brake Fluid Be Used in a Vehicle Originally Using DOT3?

It is not advisable to use DOT4 brake fluid in a vehicle originally designed for DOT3, as DOT3 and DOT4 are different types of brake fluids. Using a brake fluid that does not meet the specified requirements may lead to clogged brake lines and corrosion of rubber components in the system. Additionally, it is essential to choose brake fluid from reputable manufacturers to avoid potential malfunctions during use. The working pressure of brake fluid in the braking system is typically around 2MPa, and can reach as high as 4 to 5MPa. All liquids possess the characteristic of being incompressible. In a sealed container or a pipeline filled with liquid, when pressure is applied, the liquid quickly and uniformly transmits the pressure to all parts of the system. Hydraulic braking systems operate based on this principle.

What to Do When the Transmission Temperature is Too High?

When the automatic transmission temperature is too high, do not continue driving. Immediately pull the vehicle over to inspect and allow the transmission temperature to drop to a reasonable range. If the transmission temperature remains abnormal and cannot cool down, call a professional for inspection to prevent potential safety hazards. Causes of excessive automatic transmission temperature include: 1. High engine temperature, which affects transmission cooling, due to engine overload, lack of coolant, lack of engine oil, or severe engine carbon buildup leading to excessive heat; 2. Clogged radiator, preventing the transmission temperature from naturally decreasing—clean the radiator promptly; 3. Clutch slippage, which generates additional heat when lubrication is insufficient, raising the transmission temperature—replace the clutch three-piece set or repair the torque converter; 4. Insufficient transmission fluid—replenish it promptly.

How to Open the Hood of the Lavida?

To open the hood of the Lavida: There is a black handle below the left side of the steering wheel. Pull it slightly harder until you hear a "click," and the hood will pop up. Then, reach your hand into the area near the car emblem on the hood and flip the internal latch. The hood is made of rubber foam and aluminum foil materials, which not only reduce engine noise but also isolate the heat generated during engine operation, effectively protecting the paint on the hood surface and preventing aging. Taking the Lavida 2021 280TSI DSG Comfort Edition as an example: It is a compact car produced by SAIC Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4670mm in length, 1806mm in width, and 1474mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2688mm. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Can an Automatic Transmission Drive a Manual Transmission?

Automatic transmission cannot drive manual transmission. The differences in operational difficulty and safety between automatic and manual transmissions are as follows: Automatic and manual transmissions differ in operational difficulty: Manual transmission primarily relies on the driver pressing the clutch pedal to complete gear shifting operations. Automatic transmission mainly depends on the hydraulic torque converter and hydraulic transmission principles to automatically complete gear shifting. Automatic and manual transmissions differ in safety: Manual transmission vehicles can lose power when in neutral, posing safety hazards during driving. Automatic transmission vehicles cannot be driven in neutral, making this driving method safer. Manual transmission refers to manually shifting the gear lever to change the gear meshing mechanism inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed changes. Automatic transmission means the driver does not need to shift gears manually; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions.

How is the Annual Inspection Time for New Vehicles Calculated?

New vehicle annual inspection time is calculated from the date of motor vehicle registration, with safety technical inspections conducted according to the following periods: 1. For passenger vehicles used for commercial purposes, inspections are conducted once a year within the first 5 years, and once every 6 months after exceeding 5 years; 2. For cargo vehicles and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles, inspections are conducted once a year within the first 10 years, and once every 6 months after exceeding 10 years; 3. For small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles, inspections are conducted once every 2 years within the first 6 years, without the need for online testing. The conditions for vehicle annual inspection are: the motor vehicle must be a non-commercial vehicle, the approved number of passengers must be 9 or fewer, and the registration date must be within 4 years from the date of manufacture.
