The following are the reasons why it is not recommended to install a steering wheel cover: Difficulty in controlling the steering wheel: During winter rain and snow weather, road icing is common. Using a steering wheel cover reduces the friction between the steering wheel and the hands. In slippery conditions or sharp turns, the steering wheel becomes harder to control, making it prone to slipping. This can hinder safe handling during emergencies, as the steering wheel may easily slip out of the hands, compromising safety and potentially causing accidents. Reduced driver perception and judgment of road conditions: Drivers rely on the vibration of the steering wheel to sense road conditions, especially during high-speed driving or sharp turns, allowing them to make timely emergency responses. After installing a steering wheel cover, the friction between the hands and the steering wheel is reduced to some extent, weakening the driver's ability to perceive and judge road conditions.

How to Check if ETC is Activated?

Methods to check if ETC activation is successful: View through the ETC Assistant mini-program, which will prompt "Activation Successful" upon success; Alternatively, remove and reinsert the card into the device—if it displays "card" or "prepaid card" for a debit card, or shows the balance for a stored-value card, it indicates the ETC is activated. How ETC Works: Via dedicated short-range communication between the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at toll stations, the system uses computer networking technology to process backend settlements with banks. This enables vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while automatically deducting the toll fees. ETC Installation Positions: For small vehicles like cars and vans, the OBU device is installed on the upper-middle part of the front windshield. For large vehicles like trucks and buses, it is installed on the lower-middle section. ETC Installation Requirements: Height must be no lower than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters; The installation angle N should be between 30º and 90º (the angle between the electronic tag surface and the horizontal plane).

Will the car battery run out of power if the sedan is parked for a long time?

After being parked for a long time, the sedan's battery will run out of power. Many people think that after turning off the ignition, the car is in a power-off state, but in fact, many devices are still operating. When the car has insufficient power and cannot start, don't panic. You can find a nearby repair shop to get a battery jump-start cable or call for car rescue. Additional information is as follows: 1. Using in-car equipment for a long time after turning off the engine. Many car owners have similar habits regarding this. They tend to stay in the car for a while after parking, especially when returning home at night, listening to CDs, the radio, or doing other things. 2. After turning off the engine, the electrical equipment in the car does not shut down. The generator is not generating electricity, but the car battery continues to supply power. 3. The car battery itself has a rated capacity for stored electrical energy. Keeping electrical equipment on for a long time is an overdraft of the car battery's power. Over time, this leads to insufficient battery power. Additionally, cold starts require a relatively large amount of ignition energy, making it easy to cause starting difficulties.

When Should the Car Air Filter Be Replaced?

Under normal circumstances, it should be replaced approximately every 10,000 kilometers or once a year. It is recommended to clean the air conditioning filter. The car air conditioning filter should be replaced under the following two conditions: 1. After cleaning or tidying up the car, if there is still a persistent odor or the air inside the car is not fresh, you should consider replacing the air conditioning filter. 2. If the car has traveled 20,000 kilometers, it is best to replace the air conditioning filter. If the local air environment is poor, with frequent sandstorms and smog, it can be replaced as early as 10,000 kilometers. Generally speaking, the air conditioning filter should be replaced every 7,000-10,000 kilometers. If the local air environment is very harsh, it is recommended to replace it as soon as possible.

What are the differences between the Mercedes-Benz G500 and G63?

The differences between the Mercedes-Benz G63 and G500 are as follows: 1. First, their prices differ significantly. Currently, in the parallel import car market, the Mercedes-Benz G63 is more expensive than the G500. 2. The Mercedes-Benz G500 is the standard version of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, while the G63 is the AMG version modified by the Mercedes-AMG division. In terms of appearance, the G63 features AMG body kits, with a larger and more aggressive front lower grille that delivers a strong visual impact. The grille also adopts a single chrome strip design, simple yet bold. The wheels are larger AMG sport rims compared to the G500. Overall, the G63 looks more sporty and domineering, exuding a strong off-road vibe. The interior design of the G500 and G63 is almost identical, but the G63 uses more refined materials and pays more attention to detail. Naturally, the G63's craftsmanship and attention to detail are more meticulous. 3. The biggest factor contributing to the price difference is the engine. The Mercedes-Benz G500 is equipped with a 4.0T twin-turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum of 421 horsepower and a peak torque of 610N.m, paired with a 7AT transmission. In contrast, the G63 features a professionally tuned AMG 5.5T twin-turbo engine, producing a maximum of 571 horsepower and a peak torque of 760N.m, also matched with a 7AT transmission. This makes the G63 more powerful in terms of performance and off-road capability.

What does the trip displayed on the car dashboard mean?

The trip on the car dashboard represents the trip mileage. Here is the relevant information: 1. The trip mileage refers to the distance traveled before the current stage is reset. If you want to restart recording the mileage, you can long-press to reset it. The smallest unit of trip mileage is 0.1 kilometers, and the basic calculation method is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers. Manufacturers also provide this parameter, which is the actual fuel consumption divided by the actual distance traveled. TRIP-A means single trip A, and the trip meters TRIP-A and TRIP-B can be switched. 2. The car dashboard is a device that reflects the working conditions of various systems of the vehicle. The instruments of different cars are not the same. However, the conventional instruments of general cars include the speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure gauge, water temperature gauge, fuel gauge, charging gauge, etc.

How many liters of oil should be added to a BMW X1?

The oil filling capacity for a BMW X1 is generally 4.5L, but it may vary depending on different vehicle configurations. Therefore, car owners need to add oil based on the actual condition of their vehicles. The amount of oil added can affect the operation of the engine, thereby influencing the normal functioning of the car. Below is some relevant information about engine oil: 1. Engine oil, as a lubricant for the engine, is equivalent to the 'blood' of a car and plays a very important role. It is also crucial for maintaining the lifespan of the engine. Of course, its functions are diverse, mainly including lubrication and wear reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion prevention, and shock absorption. 2. The choice of lubricant is very important for the engine. Only by selecting the appropriate lubricant can the wear of engine parts be reduced, thereby extending the engine's lifespan. However, the most expensive lubricant is not necessarily the best; only the lubricant that matches the engine is the best and most suitable. Therefore, choosing the right lubricant is very important for the engine.
