This is caused by the friction between the outer front wheel and the ground due to understeer in front-wheel-drive vehicles. Below is relevant information about reversing: 1. Precautions: Whether you are a beginner or an experienced driver, this is a crucial point to note. Not only should you avoid pressing the accelerator while reversing, but you should also avoid half-pressing the brake. Especially for beginners, reversing should be done at a speed slower than idle speed. This allows more time to observe the surrounding environment. 2. Basic principles: When parking in a parking lot, first, visually assess the width of the parking space, check for any obstacles behind, whether there are vehicles parked on either side, and whether the length is suitable for your vehicle. If visibility is poor at night, step out to observe the exact position before reversing.

What is the problem with water dripping from the exhaust of a diesel vehicle?

Water dripping from the exhaust of a diesel vehicle is due to a damaged cylinder head gasket. It is necessary to go to a repair station for inspection and repair, and replace the cylinder head gasket if needed. Taking the 2019 Yufeng S16 1.9T Automatic Two-Wheel Drive Travel Edition 7-Seater as an example, this vehicle is equipped with a 1.9T turbocharged diesel engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. In terms of body dimensions, its length, width, and height are 4771mm, 1870mm, and 1828mm respectively, with a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 350Nm. The front suspension type is a double-wishbone coil spring, and the rear suspension type is a five-link non-independent suspension, with a non-load-bearing body structure.

What are Cold Start and Hot Start in Cars?

Cold start refers to starting the engine when the coolant is at a low temperature. Hot start refers to starting the engine when the coolant is at a high temperature. Below are detailed explanations of cold start and hot start in cars: 1. Cold Start: A cold start occurs when the engine is started with low coolant temperature. Precautions for cold starting a car include checking the battery casing for electrolyte leakage, verifying battery voltage, and inspecting electrolyte specific gravity and fluid level height. 2. Hot Start: A hot start in a car refers to starting the engine shortly after it has been turned off, when the engine temperature remains near normal operating levels with minimal drop, and when the oil on engine friction surfaces hasn't drained back while the oil film is still present.

Why Can't Manual Seats Move Forward and Backward?

Manual seats cannot move forward and backward due to: 1. Rust on the manual tracks; 2. Detachment of the manual tracks. The solutions are: 1. Spray rust remover, pull the lever, and move back and forth to check mobility; 2. Reattach the detached tracks with screws. Car seats are seating used when riding in a vehicle, categorized by function into: fixed, removable, and adjustable; and by passenger capacity into: single, double, and multiple. The basic requirements for car seats are: 1. The arrangement of seats within the entire cabin should be reasonable, especially the driver's seat must be in the optimal position; 2. The design of the seat must conform to human physiological functions, striving for aesthetics while ensuring comfort; 3. Seats must be safe and reliable, with sufficient strength, stiffness, and durability, compact in structure and minimizing weight as much as possible; 4. Various adjustment mechanisms provided for the comfort of drivers and passengers must have reliable locking devices to ensure safety.

What are Monocoque Body and Body-on-Frame?

Monocoque and body-on-frame are classifications based on how a vehicle's structure bears loads. Below is a detailed introduction to monocoque body and body-on-frame: 1. Monocoque Body: A monocoque body does not have a separate frame; the body itself serves as the mounting base for the engine and chassis components, functioning as the frame and bearing all loads. This structure involves directly mounting chassis components (such as the engine and suspension) onto the body, primarily constructed with thin panels. 2. Body-on-Frame: In a body-on-frame design, the body is flexibly connected to the frame through rubber cushions or springs. The frame is the foundation that supports the entire vehicle, bearing various loads from the installed components. The body only bears the weight and inertial forces of the passengers and cargo, and the frame design does not consider the body's auxiliary role in load-bearing.

What is the reason for the EPC light coming on while driving and then turning off after restarting?

The reasons for the EPC light coming on while driving and then turning off after restarting are: 1. The EPC light mainly illuminates due to a dirty throttle body. In this case, simply cleaning the throttle body and then performing a reset can resolve the issue; 2. There is a fault in the intake system. When the engine detects this fault after starting, it will illuminate the EPC warning light. This situation requires inspection and repair at a service station. The main reasons for the engine fault light coming on are excessive carbon deposits in the throttle body or inside the engine, as well as a malfunctioning oxygen sensor causing an imbalance in the air-fuel mixture ratio, which can easily trigger the engine fault light. If the fault light comes on in a new car, it is usually due to the use of lower-grade fuel.
