Why Shouldn't You Turn the Steering Wheel While Stationary?

Tires are made of synthetic rubber and bear the weight of the entire vehicle, which is over 1 ton. Turning the steering wheel while stationary increases sliding friction between the tires and the ground, accelerating tire surface wear and shortening their lifespan. Below is a detailed explanation: 1. Steering wheel aging: Frequently turning the steering wheel while stationary causes significant damage. Repeated stationary steering forces the wheel into prolonged high-intensity operation, requiring substantial power assistance. This leads to excessive play in the linkage system, resulting in premature aging of the steering wheel, reduced operational flexibility, slower response times, and potential safety hazards. 2. Damage to the steering gear: The steering force is transmitted through the steering gear and tie rods. Excessive force during stationary steering can damage both the steering gear and tie rods.

What is the B gear for in the Corolla Hybrid?

The B gear in the Corolla Hybrid is the braking gear. Here is more information about the Corolla Hybrid: 1. Function: This braking is not directly applied to the brake pedal but uses the engine to restrain the vehicle. It is typically used on continuous long downhill sections. If you keep pressing the brake while in D gear downhill, the braking pressure is almost entirely borne by the brakes, which can cause the brake pads to overheat and lead to brake failure over time. 2. Interior: In terms of the interior, the hybrid-specific dashboard and gear lever highlight the advanced and premium feel of the COROLLA-HYBRID. The hybrid-specific dashboard, exclusive center console, and added stitching lines enhance the sense of sophistication and advancement. Additionally, the black wood grain design on the center console and door trims exudes a premium texture.

Can the License Plate Be Transferred in a Used Car Transaction?

The license plate number cannot be transferred along with the used car during the transfer process. If the original license plate meets the usage period requirement, it can be retained under the original owner's name for use when purchasing a new car. If the conditions are not met or the owner relinquishes the original license plate, the vehicle management office will reclaim it, and the new owner will need to select a new license plate. Below is more information regarding used car transfers: 1. How to transfer a license plate to someone else: Currently, the most common method for license plate transfers in various regions is allowing transfers between spouses. One spouse can transfer a locally registered vehicle under their name to the other spouse, who must not own a car or have a valid indicator, by presenting valid documents such as a marriage certificate, without needing to apply for an indicator. License plates can also be transferred through inheritance, where the vehicle purchased by the deceased before their passing can be inherited by relatives, who can then complete the vehicle inheritance procedures at the vehicle management office. However, this method is limited to the immediate family members of the indicator holder. 2. Can you buy a used car with a license plate if you don’t have one? Used cars with license plates cannot be bought or sold because the license plate number cannot be transferred. After the used car is transferred, the new owner will either select a new license plate or use an old one under their name. License plates used for over a year will be retained under the original owner's name and automatically reserved for two years. 3. Can pre-registered used cars be transferred with license plates? Pre-registered used cars refer to the inventory of used cars held by dealers in the used car market after the implementation of purchase restriction policies. These used cars are registered with relevant departments and receive a registration confirmation notice or notarization certificate. Within the validity period, used cars with license plates can be sold to buyers who have obtained an incremental indicator. After expiration, they lose the qualification for 'transfer with license plate.'

What are the steps for starting and stopping a car?

Steps for starting a car: Press the clutch—Start the car—Turn on the turn signal—Shift into first gear—Check for pedestrians and vehicles outside—Release the handbrake—Lift the clutch—Press the accelerator. Steps for stopping: Turn on the turn signal—Release the accelerator—Use engine braking to slow down—Check for obstacles at the parking spot—Place your foot on the brake pedal—Press the brake until the car comes to a complete stop. Here are some driving precautions: 1. When turning or changing lanes, always use the turn signal and slow down. Before turning, check the rearview mirror—left turns mainly require checking the left mirror, right turns the right mirror, and both require checking the interior rearview mirror. 2. When driving on clear roads, look straight ahead about 100 meters, not just at the front of the car. 3. Generally, when slowing down from speeds above 40 km/h, do not press the clutch first—only press it when the speed drops to around 20 km/h. 4. For high-speed turns, steer slowly; for low-speed turns, steer quickly.
