Jetta VS5 has front and rear anti-collision beams. The front anti-collision beam is located behind the foam layer of the front bumper, while the rear anti-collision beam does not have foam, which serves an energy-absorbing function. Here is some information about the front and rear anti-collision beams: 1. The anti-collision beam is not actually meant to 'prevent collisions'; its main function is to transmit force. 2. When the vehicle is hit from the front or rear, if the force is applied to the anti-collision beam, the beam can transfer the impact force to the parts where it connects to the vehicle body—usually the beam and the longitudinal beams (sometimes the rear body underframe in the case of the rear). Between the beam and the longitudinal beams, there is typically a small energy-absorbing box structure.

What Causes Gasoline to Leak from the Charcoal Canister?

If gasoline is leaking from the charcoal canister, it indicates that the canister has failed and must be replaced promptly. It is recommended to visit a professional auto repair shop or a 4S dealership to have the staff perform the replacement. More details are as follows: 1. Under normal circumstances, when the engine is turned off, the charcoal canister begins absorbing fuel vapors evaporating from the fuel tank, trapping them firmly within the micropores of the activated charcoal inside the canister to prevent the vapors from being released into the atmosphere. When the engine starts, the adsorbed fuel vapors in the canister are then delivered to the engine as fuel. 2. The charcoal canister not only reduces the vehicle's fuel consumption but also lowers its emissions. The charcoal canister is typically located between the engine and the fuel tank. It is part of the Evaporative Emission Control System (EVAP). 3. The charcoal canister is the most critical component of the Evaporative Emission Control System (EVAP). If the canister fails, the EVAP system cannot collect and store fuel vapors.

What does 4WS mean in vehicles?

4WS is the abbreviation for Four-Wheel-Steer, which refers to the four-wheel steering system, commonly known as rear-wheel steering or four-wheel steering. It is a patented technology of Foxconn, which claims to be the 'King of Corners' with this technology. There are mainly two types of four-wheel steering: same-phase steering, where the rear wheels turn in the same direction as the front wheels; and opposite-phase steering, where the rear wheels turn in the opposite direction to the front wheels. The purpose is to improve the operational stability of the vehicle at high speeds or under lateral wind forces, enhance maneuverability at low speeds, and reduce the turning radius in parking lots. Advantages of 4WS: 1. It can reduce the turning radius; 2. It improves maneuverability at low speeds. At low speeds, the rear wheels follow the actual trajectory of the vehicle more closely than with two-wheel steering; 3. It enhances handling and controllability at high speeds. At high speeds, the rear wheels turn in the same direction as the front wheels, helping to reduce vehicle sideslip or wobble.

How to turn on the fog lights of Trumpchi GM8?

The light switch of the Trumpchi GM8 is integrated into the stalk-type switch on the left side of the steering wheel. Simply rotate or toggle to the designated position, and the corresponding lights will illuminate, while the dashboard will also display the corresponding indicator. Below are relevant details: 1. The external lighting equipment of a car includes three main categories: headlights, fog lights, and turn signals. Headlights are further divided into low beams and high beams. 2. During driving, to ensure the safety of oneself and others, drivers should immediately switch from high beams to low beams under the following four circumstances: (1) when facing an oncoming vehicle; (2) when closely following a vehicle ahead in the same direction; (3) when the road is sufficiently illuminated; (4) when passing through railway crossings or entering urban roads. 3. When driving in underground passages or garages, car headlights can provide illumination in dark environments. Even if you can quickly find a parking space, you should still turn on the headlights. Turning on the headlights not only helps you see the road conditions clearly but also provides convenience for others.

What to Do When a Stone Gets Stuck in the Brake Disc?

Methods to deal with a stone stuck in the brake disc: Accelerate the car and then slam on the brakes, then reverse and slam on the brakes again. Repeat this cycle several times to resolve the issue. If the problem persists or if you are concerned about the vehicle, it is recommended to visit a repair shop or a 4S store. Below is some relevant information: 1. The main components of a car's braking system include the vacuum booster pump, master brake cylinder, brake caliper, brake pads, and brake disc. After opening the engine cover, you can see a black metal disc on the driver's side, which is the vacuum booster pump. 2. In front of the vacuum booster pump, there is an oil reservoir for brake fluid, and below the reservoir is the master brake cylinder. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the vacuum booster pump provides assistance, helping the driver to press the pedal more easily. The master brake cylinder then uses brake fluid to push the brake caliper, which in turn presses the brake pads against the brake disc.

How to Prevent the Subwoofer from Shaking the Rear Seats?

Possible reasons include excessively high volume settings, which can be adjusted lower; potential hardware malfunctions in the subwoofer, suggesting contacting after-sales service for inspection; or incorrect installation of the subwoofer position, requiring professional adjustment. Subwoofers can generally be categorized into two types: active subwoofers and passive subwoofers. Below is additional information: Subwoofer principle: The internal amplifier circuit divides the sound into several frequency bands via a crossover. The mid and high-frequency bands are output to the satellite speakers, while the low-frequency band is output to the subwoofer. Typically, subwoofers produce low-frequency sounds ranging from 20-200Hz, which are difficult for humans to hear when the energy is not very strong, and it is very challenging to discern the direction of the sound source. These low-frequency sounds are transmitted through the bass reflex port, resonating with the satellite speakers. The weak bass produced by the subwoofer and satellite speakers combines, and the satellite speakers reproduce the bass released by the subwoofer. As a result, the bass effect is very impactful, and it feels as though the bass is emanating from the satellite speakers.

Why is the cooling fan still running after the car is parked?

It is cooling down the engine. This is a normal phenomenon, not a malfunction, and no action is required. Below is relevant information about automotive cooling fans: 1. Axial fan: The blades of an axial fan push air to flow in the same direction as the axis. The impeller of an axial fan is somewhat similar to a propeller. During operation, the majority of the airflow direction is parallel to the axis, in other words, along the axial direction. The power consumption of an axial fan is at its lowest when the inlet airflow is free air at 0 static pressure, and it increases as the back pressure of the airflow rises during operation. 2. Centrifugal fan: When a centrifugal fan operates, the blades push air to flow in a direction perpendicular to the axis (i.e., radial direction). The intake is along the axial direction, while the exhaust is perpendicular to the axial direction. In most cases, an axial fan can achieve the cooling effect. However, sometimes if the airflow needs to be rotated 90 degrees for exhaust or a higher air pressure is required, a centrifugal fan must be selected. Strictly speaking, a blower also falls under the category of centrifugal fans.
