There are two types of car cruise control working principles: the latest electronic type and the traditional mechanical type. Below is a detailed introduction to the working principles: 1. Latest Electronic Type: The working process of the latest electronic throttle cruise control is more intelligent and precise. It controls the vehicle speed by adjusting the throttle opening size through the cruise control system, which regulates the signal output from the electronic throttle sensor. 2. Traditional Mechanical Type: The driver selects the speed based on road conditions and activates the cruise control system via a momentary switch to replace throttle pedal control. The system automatically adjusts the fuel supply according to the impact of slopes and road conditions on the vehicle speed, enabling the vehicle to maintain a constant speed. According to driving operation procedures, the cruise control function is automatically deactivated when the clutch pedal is pressed for gear shifting or the brake pedal is pressed, restoring throttle pedal control without any additional operations.

Which country is ZF brand from?

ZF is a German brand, collectively known as one of the world's top three transmission distributors alongside Aisin and Getrag. The company is headquartered in Friedrichshafen, Germany, and holds a leading position in automotive powertrain systems and chassis technology. Due to ZF transmissions being more suitable for high-torque output in extreme environments, they are typically equipped in luxury vehicles. For instance, BMW and Audi within the BBA group use ZF transmissions, as does the American Range Rover. Hence, ZF is often referred to as the "luxury vehicle-specific transmission." Usage of ZF transmissions: Shifting starts from the auxiliary box, then moves from the low-gear range to the high-gear range. Essentially, when shifting from low to high gears, there should be an interval operation—first allowing the auxiliary box to shift, followed by the main box. This transmission strictly prohibits coasting in neutral after the engine is turned off. Generally, maintenance should be performed after the vehicle has traveled 2,000 to 3,000 kilometers, including replacing the transmission gear oil. Oil changes should be done while the vehicle is warm, preferably using gear oil that meets the international standards API GL-4 grade, SAE 85W/90 viscosity. As early as the early 1980s, when thousands of Mercedes-Benz trucks equipped with ZF transmissions were introduced to oil fields in China's Northeast Xinjiang Autonomous Region, the ZF Group began quietly entering the Chinese market. ZF Group's representative office in China was established in Beijing in 1988. Today, in mainland China, the ZF Group has achieved significant growth, operating 17 production and assembly plants, 1 trading company, 1 regional headquarters (including an R&D center), and 2 sales service companies with comprehensive after-sales service networks (7 branches, 34 after-sales service outlets, and representative offices), employing approximately 2,300 people. The ZF Group has an excellent customer base in China, including Shanghai Volkswagen, Shanghai General Motors, FAW Group, Brilliance BMW, Sinotruk Group, Chery Company, King Long Company, Dongfeng Group, Soueast Motor, and others. Its products are widely used in passenger cars, buses, trucks, ships, and construction machinery vehicles.

What is the emission standard for the 2009 Chevrolet Cruze?

2009 Chevrolet Cruze complies with the China IV emission standard. The China IV emission standard is the fourth phase of national standards for motor vehicle pollutant emissions. The main pollutants emitted by vehicles include HC, NOx, CO, PM, etc. Through the application of technologies such as improved catalytic converter active layers, secondary air injection, and exhaust gas recirculation systems with cooling devices, these standards control and reduce vehicle emissions to below specified levels. Here are methods to determine a vehicle's emission standard: 1. Check the vehicle conformity certificate. When a car leaves the factory, it comes with a conformity certificate that clearly states the vehicle's emission standard. 2. Refer to the vehicle's accompanying documents. Look for the emission standard in the vehicle information section. 3. Examine the certificate of conformity, which includes exhaust emissions and indicates the corresponding emission standard. 4. Visit the official vehicle environmental protection website. Find the public query platform on the homepage, enter the vehicle's VIN code and the last six digits of the engine number to retrieve the information. 5. Inspect the vehicle's environmental protection label. The back of the environmental protection label on the car's front windshield clearly displays the vehicle's emission standard.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Changan Ono?

The fuel tank capacity of the Changan Ono is 42 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the Changan Ono can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Changan Ono uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 8.44L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of approximately 498km. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the nominal tank capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, leaving some space between the safe fill level and the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is added up to the tank opening, the actual refueling amount may exceed the nominal tank capacity.
