The speedometer cannot indicate the grade of a car. It can only be said that high-performance cars generally have larger maximum speed readings on the dial, but cars with large maximum speed readings are not necessarily high-performance. Car manufacturing follows a modular approach, meaning speedometers are not exclusively selected for certain performance models. As a result, multiple car models may share the same speedometer, making it impossible to conclude that a larger maximum speed reading directly correlates with better car performance. Below is an introduction to the car's central control system: 1. Central locking system: There are many types of central locks installed in cars, but their basic components mainly include door lock switches, door lock actuators, and door lock controllers. 2. Switches: Most central lock switches consist of a master switch and individual switches. The master switch is located on the driver's door, allowing the driver to lock or unlock all doors in the car. Individual switches are installed on other doors, enabling independent control of a single door. 3. Actuators: The central lock actuator is used to execute the driver's commands to lock or unlock the doors. Door lock actuators come in three types: electromagnetic, DC motor, and permanent magnet motor. Their structures all involve changing polarity to reverse the direction of movement, thereby executing the locking or unlocking action.

I usually enjoy delving into car culture, and the speedometer can indeed reflect a car's class to some extent. High-end cars like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or Porsche have exquisitely designed speedometers, featuring metal frames, luminous pointers, or full LCD screens with high-definition displays and animation effects, giving a luxurious feel while driving. Mid-to-low range cars, such as ordinary family vehicles, have much simpler speedometers made of plastic with single colors, often just traditional analog dials. However, it also depends on the specific brand—BMW's speedometers lean towards a sporty style, while Audi uses virtual cockpit technology to integrate navigation and media information, instantly elevating the sense of class. Nowadays, new cars also incorporate HUD (Head-Up Display), projecting information directly onto the windshield for an even more premium feel. But class isn't just about the speedometer; interior materials and engine performance must also be considered. Judging a car purely by its speedometer is a bit like only looking at the surface.

What does exhaust HC mean?

Exhaust HC refers to hydrocarbons, which are harmful gases produced during the combustion of gasoline and diesel. Automobile exhaust is the waste gas generated during vehicle use, containing hundreds of different compounds. The pollutants include solid suspended particles, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, lead, and sulfur oxides. While directly endangering human health, automobile exhaust also has profound impacts on the environment of human life. Sulfur dioxide in the exhaust has a strong irritating odor and, when reaching certain concentrations, can easily lead to the occurrence of "acid rain," causing soil and water sources to acidify and affecting the growth of crops and forests.

What does the coasting mode of the Tayron mean?

The coasting mode of the Tayron refers to the engine power being disconnected without braking the vehicle, allowing the car to coast for a longer distance. Conditions for using the coasting mode: This function is only available when the gear lever is in D position and the vehicle speed is within the range of 40KM/H to 130KM/H. When coasting, if the brake is pressed, the engine remains off until the vehicle stops or reaches the "creep speed," at which point the engine will restart. No damage to the transmission in coasting mode: The Tayron's coasting mode does not cause any damage to the transmission. In coasting mode, the engine operates similarly to idling. The gear indicator on the multifunction display will be hidden, and the D gear of the transmission will be displayed in green.

Why can't the high beam of the Mercedes S be turned on?

It may not turn on because the automatic headlights are set in the system, so the system automatically switches the headlights based on the light sensor. How to turn on the high beam in the Mercedes S-Class: To turn on the high beam in the Mercedes S, push the left control lever forward in the driver's direction to activate the high beam. Release the lever, and it will automatically reset. Pull it back to turn off the high beam and switch back to the low beam. Mercedes S-Class automatic mode: In automatic mode, when the speed exceeds approximately 80 and there are no headlights from the opposite lane, the system will automatically switch to high beam. Once headlights from an oncoming vehicle are detected, it will switch back to low beam mode. After the vehicle passes, it will automatically switch back to high beam mode.
