The headlight and low beam are not the same light. Specific details are as follows: 1. Headlight: Actually, it refers to the headlight assembly, which includes the high beam, low beam, and turn signal. In most cases, when people mention the headlight, they are referring to the high beam, not the low beam. The low beam is generally called the small light. 2. Low Beam: The light emitted beyond its focal point is divergent, providing a short illumination distance but a wide range. 3. Difference Between the Two: The low beam can be part of the headlight, but the headlight is not necessarily the low beam because the headlight includes the low beam, high beam, and turn signal.

What Are the Effects of Forgetting to Release the Handbrake?

The handbrake is designed for the rear wheels. Forgetting to release the handbrake creates resistance to the vehicle's movement, as the rear wheels remain in a slightly locked state. Here is some relevant information: 1. Handbrake Principle: For small cars, some handbrakes are located behind the transmission, connected to the driveshaft with a brake disc, similar to a disc brake (though drum brakes are also possible). The braking force is transmitted via a cable to achieve parking braking. 2. Electronic Handbrake: The electronic handbrake, paired with an automatic parking system, can directly engage the parking function when the vehicle is stationary, eliminating the need for manual operation. It also saves space on the center console, enhancing its aesthetics.

Where is the Steering Wheel Torque Sensor Located?

The steering wheel torque sensor is located on the steering column below the steering wheel, specifically on the power assist motor. The motor typically has a small metal cover, and the component with four wires and a connector is the steering torque sensor. Removing the small metal cover will reveal it. Introduction to Torque Sensor: The torque sensor is one of the key components in an electronically controlled power steering system. It measures the magnitude and direction of the torque applied by the driver to the steering wheel and converts it into an electrical signal. The power steering ECU receives this signal along with the vehicle speed signal to determine the direction and magnitude of the assistive power.

What Does Vehicle Maintenance at a 4S Shop Include?

Vehicle maintenance at a 4S shop includes engine oil, oil filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, brake fluid and power steering fluid, transmission fluid, coolant, tire rotation, timing belt, fuel system cleaning, lubrication system cleaning, wheel alignment, and dynamic balancing. Routine maintenance refers to daily upkeep, which involves tasks performed before driving, during driving, and after parking. The main focus is on cleaning, replenishment, and safety inspections, which are essential for maintaining the vehicle's normal working condition. Primary maintenance is carried out by professional repair shops and includes, in addition to routine maintenance tasks, cleaning, lubrication, and tightening, as well as inspecting safety components such as brakes and controls. Secondary maintenance is also performed by professional repair shops and, beyond primary maintenance tasks, focuses on inspection and adjustment, including tire disassembly and rotation.

How long after the expiration of a car's gas tank can it no longer be inspected?

Car gas tanks cannot be inspected after three years of expiration. Here is the relevant information: 1. Annual inspection: The service life of a car's natural gas tank is generally 15 years. For safety reasons, relevant authorities stipulate that vehicles converted to natural gas must undergo a biennial inspection of the gas tank. If the tank shows signs of wear, it must be replaced before further use. 2. Precautions: In vehicles converted to natural gas, the gas tank is usually secured with two straps, with a cushioning pad between the tank and the straps to protect it. If the cushioning pad is damaged, the tank may wear out. Therefore, owners should 'pay attention' to the cushioning pad and replace it promptly if damaged to prevent harm to the gas tank.

What are the two major categories of internal combustion engines?

Internal combustion engines can be classified by cooling method into air-cooled and water-cooled types; by the number of cylinders, they can be divided into single-cylinder and multi-cylinder engines, among others. Broadly speaking, they are categorized into free-piston internal combustion engines, reciprocating piston internal combustion engines, and rotary piston internal combustion engines, which also include jet engines and rotary turbine gas engines. Based on the type of fuel used, internal combustion engines can be classified into gasoline engines, diesel engines, and gas-fueled engines. Engines that use gasoline as fuel are called gasoline engines; those that use diesel are called diesel engines, while gas fuels mainly include natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, and others.

Why Does the Car Make Noise When Braking?

There are several reasons why a car may produce abnormal noises when braking: 1. The vehicle may be equipped with ABS. When braking, you might sometimes feel a rebound, especially on uneven roads, which can even cause a jerking sensation. This is a normal phenomenon. If it's not due to ABS, it is recommended to have it checked at a 4S shop. 2. The most common reason for squeaky brakes is that the brake pads have worn thin, causing direct contact between the brake drum and the vehicle. Friction between the metal parts leads to noise. If the brake pads are too thin, a warning indicator will light up, but sometimes it won't illuminate until the preset limit is reached. If the brake pads are found to be normal upon inspection, it means the vehicle can be driven as usual.
