Audi Q5 is a front-mounted four-wheel drive vehicle, and there is no need for manual operation to switch the car from two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive via buttons. Its front-mounted four-wheel drive system will automatically analyze road conditions to switch the driving state between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive modes. Taking the 2020 Audi Q5 as an example, it belongs to the medium-sized SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4753mm, width 1893mm, height 1659mm, wheelbase 2908mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 73 liters. The 2020 Audi Q5 features a five-link independent suspension in the front and a five-link independent suspension in the rear. It is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 190PS, maximum power of 140kW, and maximum torque of 320Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I've been driving an Audi Q5 for three years, and its quattro system doesn't require manual switching at all. During normal city driving, it operates in front-wheel drive mode for better fuel efficiency. However, if the tires slip or the system detects the need for more power, it can switch to all-wheel drive in just 0.2 seconds. There's a driving mode selector knob on the steering wheel - turn it to off-road mode, and the quattro system will intervene more aggressively, even automatically locking the differential when descending steep slopes. It provides exceptional stability on highways during rain or snow, though remember to turn off the ESP stability control system to maximize its off-road capability. Actually, this quattro ultra system automatically disconnects the rear axle driveshaft when driving above 40 km/h, and automatically re-engages when speed drops below 35 km/h or during sudden acceleration.

I've studied Audi's four-wheel-drive system. The Q5 uses the quattro ultra electronically controlled four-wheel drive, which automatically switches without the need to press any buttons. If you want more power to the rear axle, find the driving mode selection on the center console and switch to dynamic mode or personalized settings. The instrument panel will display the power distribution status of all four wheels. During high-speed cruising, typically only 5% of the power is allocated to the rear wheels. When wading through water, it's best to manually shift to M mode and lock in a lower gear in advance to prevent the transmission from automatically upshifting and interrupting power. If you frequently drive on rough roads, it's recommended to install the original off-road optional package, which raises the chassis by 30 millimeters.

Why is there no response when pressing the car key even though it has power?

If the car key has power but doesn't respond when pressed, it may be due to interference nearby. Car remote keys transmit signals via radio waves, and signal reception can be affected when these waves are disrupted. The greatest advantage of remote keys is that, regardless of day or night, they allow for convenient long-distance locking and unlocking without the need to locate the keyhole. The remote key emits a weak radio wave from the owner's vicinity, which is received by the car's antenna. The electronic control unit (ECU) then identifies the signal code, and the system's actuator performs the locking or unlocking action. Modern car keys use a magnetic chip system. If the circuit board of the remote key malfunctions, it's akin to losing the coded key, rendering the key unresponsive when pressed. In such cases, the only solution is to replace the key with a new one.

How to Remove the Wiper Plug?

Method to remove the wiper plug: 1. Lift the wiper, press the square button on the wiper, and then detach the wiper from the metal swing arm; 2. Cover or wrap the wiper swing arm with soft cloth to avoid damaging the glass surface, then gently return it to the windshield; 3. Thoroughly clean the wiper once, wipe it clean, and store it properly; 4. Take out the purchased wiper rubber strip from the packaging and soak it in soapy water to lubricate it for easier installation; 5. Take the original wiper, pinch one side of the wiper rubber strip with your fingers, and pull it back and forth forcefully. You will find that one side can be pulled, while the other side cannot; 6. Locate the side that cannot be pulled, use a thin flat-head screwdriver to pry open the plastic plug on this side of the wiper, and then you can disassemble it.

Why is the car not spraying windshield washer fluid?

If the car is not spraying windshield washer fluid, the first consideration is insufficient washer fluid. You can check the fluid level through the dashboard or by directly opening the engine compartment. Other possible causes include clogged nozzles, freezing, or a damaged motor. In daily use, avoid using tap water as a substitute for dedicated windshield washer fluid. Tap water contains many impurities, which can clog the nozzles over time, and its cleaning effect is generally poor. Windshield washer fluid, commonly known as car windshield cleaning fluid, is a consumable in car use. High-quality windshield washer fluid is mainly composed of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. When the transparency of the front windshield decreases, spraying some washer fluid can restore a clear and bright view.

How to Read the Fuel Gauge in a Corolla?

Corolla's fuel gauge is located on the far right of the dashboard, with 'F' and 'E' markings on it. If the needle points to 'F', it indicates the fuel tank is full. If it points to 'E', it means the fuel tank is nearly empty. It's important to note that when the fuel warning light comes on, it's still safe to drive within 20 kilometers. Beyond this range, caution is advised, and it's best to refuel at a gas station as soon as possible. However, the exact driving distance may vary depending on the driver's habits. The Corolla is a brand under Toyota, with body dimensions of 4620mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1480mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm.

What causes severe shaking when pressing the brake in D gear?

The reasons for severe shaking when pressing the brake in D gear: damage to the engine mounts, insufficient engine power due to poor fuel supply. The connection points between the engine and the frame are equipped with engine mounts, which are usually made of rubber. These mounts help absorb engine vibrations. D gear, also known as the drive gear, engages the forward gears automatically based on throttle position and vehicle speed signals when the gear selector is in this position. P stands for Park, used when the vehicle is stationary, locking the wheels mechanically to prevent rolling. R is Reverse, used for backing up. N is Neutral, used for temporary stops.

How to Solve the Loud Engine Noise in Citroen C-Quatre?

Solutions for loud engine noise in Citroen C-Quatre: 1. Use heat-insulated pistons to increase combustion chamber wall temperature, shorten the ignition delay period, and reduce combustion noise in direct-injection diesel engines with space atomization combustion systems; 2. Utilize dual-spring fuel injection valves to achieve pre-injection, and employ a two-stage lift device along with pilot injection systems to suppress combustion noise across a wide range of speeds and during acceleration; 3. Adopt turbocharging. The maximum rated power speed of turbocharged diesel engines is lower than that of naturally aspirated diesel engines of the same cylinder size, which helps reduce combustion noise. After intercooling the turbocharged air, the air temperature decreases, improving charging efficiency, although this also weakens the effect of turbocharging on reducing combustion noise. The Citroen C-Quatre is a car launched by Citroen, with body dimensions of 4588mm in length, 1773mm in width, 1486mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2610mm. The streamlined body of the C-Quatre is rounded and full, achieving an excellent drag coefficient of 0.31. This not only gives the car a perfect styling but also effectively reduces wind noise during driving, as well as lowers fuel consumption and harmful gas emissions.
