A broken car ball joint needs immediate replacement. Here is some information about car ball joints: Introduction: The car ball joint, also known as a universal joint, primarily provides multi-angle rotation for the steering mechanism, thereby reducing vibration and ensuring smooth steering. Replacement: There is no fixed replacement interval for car ball joints; they only need to be replaced when they fail. The lifespan of a ball joint is generally determined by road conditions. It is usually inspected every 80,000 kilometers, and under normal circumstances, it can last up to 100,000 kilometers without issues. However, if the car frequently travels on rough roads, the lifespan of the ball joint may be shorter, and damage can occur as early as 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers.

What is the capacity of a car fire extinguisher?

For ordinary family cars, it is recommended to equip a small fire extinguisher, which is lightweight and easy to carry, around 2kg. Below is relevant information: 1. Car fire extinguisher: Car fire extinguishers are specifically designed for vehicle fire suppression, including two main types: non-storage pressure hanging ultra-fine dry powder automatic fire extinguishing devices and mini storage pressure hanging ultra-fine dry powder automatic fire extinguishing devices. Currently, most fire extinguishers used for vehicle fire protection are portable fire extinguishers. The main types of car fire extinguishers on the market include dry powder fire extinguishers, ultra-fine dry powder fire extinguishers, carbon dioxide fire extinguishers, and water-based fire extinguishers. 2. Shelf life: Different fire extinguishers have varying expiration periods due to different materials. Generally, the shelf life of a car fire extinguisher is two years. If there is no expiration mark, the pressure gauge's needle in the green zone serves as the standard. When the needle on the pressure gauge of a car fire extinguisher reaches the red zone, it indicates insufficient pressure, and the extinguisher must not be used.

Does the Audi Q5L have an automatic collision avoidance system?

The Audi Q5L is equipped with an automatic collision avoidance system. Here is a detailed introduction to the car's automatic collision avoidance system:1. Definition: The automatic collision avoidance system (automatic-collision-avoidance-system) is a part of intelligent vehicles. It is a smart device designed to prevent car collisions. It can automatically detect vehicles, pedestrians, or other obstacles that may collide with the car, issue warnings, and simultaneously apply braking or evasive measures to avoid collisions.2. Components:(1) Signal acquisition system: Uses technologies such as millimeter-wave radar, laser, sonar, infrared, and cameras to automatically measure the vehicle's speed, the speed of the vehicle ahead, and the distance between the two vehicles.(2) Data processing system: A computer chip processes the distance between the two vehicles and their instantaneous relative speed to determine the safe distance. If the distance is less than the safe distance, the data processing system will issue a command. Alternatively, the computer chip calculates the time to collision (TTC) to assess the level of danger and then issues warnings and braking commands.(3) Execution mechanism: Responsible for implementing the commands from the data processing system, issuing alarms to remind the driver to brake. If the driver does not respond, the execution mechanism will take measures such as closing windows, adjusting seat positions, locking the steering wheel, or automatically applying the brakes.

BMW X3 is four-wheel drive, but it also has two-wheel drive. The entire series is equipped with an intelligent four-wheel drive system that can automatically identify the driving environment and control the switching between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive modes according to changes in the driving environment. On roads with low traction such as bumpy, hilly, or winding surfaces, the vehicle automatically sets to four-wheel drive mode; on relatively flat road conditions like urban roads, the vehicle will switch to two-wheel drive on its own. Below is some relevant information about the BMW X3: 1.

What to Pay Attention to When Buying a Used Black King Kong

When purchasing a used Black King Kong, pay attention to the following aspects: 1. Vehicle-related: Check the vehicle's origin, history and current condition, previous users and usage environment, technical condition, wear and tear, depreciation rate, and resale value. Regarding policies and regulations, pay attention to the vehicle's documentation, the legal identity and personal information of the owner, transfer history and frequency, and ownership attributes. For the transaction contract, review the contract terms, deposit payment methods, pickup and transfer arrangements (time and costs), as well as indicators and emission standards—check the emission standard level (e.g., National Standard IV), whether it can be transferred to another region, and whether an indicator is required. 2. Documentation issues; after-sales commitments—consider the contract terms, the seller's background and credibility, and make a comprehensive decision. Ensure the vehicle's documents (registration certificate, vehicle license, environmental label, insurance policy, annual inspection, etc.) match the purchased vehicle and verify whether it has been involved in illegal modifications, hit-and-run incidents, or is a flood/fire-damaged vehicle. Also, check the vehicle's age (within the regulated limit) and type.
