Sedans can be either front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive, depending on the vehicle's drivetrain configuration: front-wheel drive (FWD), rear-wheel drive (RWD), or four-wheel drive (4WD). Front-wheel drive, also known as FWD, refers to a vehicle design where the engine only drives the front pair of wheels. Rear-wheel drive refers to a drivetrain configuration where the engine's power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a driveshaft, propelling the vehicle forward. Rear-wheel drive is a more traditional drivetrain configuration. Characteristics of rear-wheel drive include: 1. Improved vehicle balance and handling; 2. Easier maintenance; 3. Insufficient traction; 4. Power loss occurs as the engine's power is transmitted to the rear axle via the driveshaft, resulting in reduced output power.

What is ABS Anti-lock Braking System?

ABS Anti-lock Braking System is a system that, during braking, quickly determines the wheel lock-up state based on speed signals from each wheel speed sensor. It closes the normally open input solenoid valve on the wheel that is starting to lock up, keeping the braking force constant. If the wheel continues to lock up, it opens the normally closed output solenoid valve, causing the braking pressure on that wheel to rapidly decrease due to the direct connection to the brake fluid reservoir, preventing the wheel from completely locking up due to excessive braking force. The functions of ABS are: 1. Maximizing the effectiveness of the brakes, reducing braking time and distance; 2. Effectively preventing vehicle skidding and fishtailing during emergency braking, ensuring good driving stability; 3. Allowing steering during emergency braking, providing good steering control; 4. Avoiding intense friction between the tires and the ground, reducing tire wear.

What Does Front and Rear Parking Radar Mean?

Front and rear parking radars are used to detect obstacles in front of or behind the vehicle during parking or turning, providing the driver with necessary information such as the distance, direction, and area of the obstacle while also issuing an alert when approaching the obstacle. The front radar, often referred to as front parking assist, is a safety auxiliary device for parking or reversing, consisting of ultrasonic sensors (commonly known as probes), a controller, and a display (or buzzer). The radar can inform the driver about surrounding obstacles through sound or a more intuitive display, eliminating the trouble caused by the driver's need to look around when parking, reversing, or starting the vehicle, and helping the driver overcome blind spots and unclear vision, thereby improving driving safety.
