I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz GLA for years, and the paddle shifters are quite handy to use. There are two small paddles behind the steering wheel—the left one is for downshifting (marked with a minus sign), and the right one is for upshifting (marked with a plus sign). After starting the car, you need to switch the driving mode to Sport or Manual to activate the paddles. During driving, if you want manual intervention, a light pull on the downshift paddle increases the RPM for quicker acceleration, which is very useful for overtaking or climbing hills. Pulling the upshift paddle ensures smoother speed and better fuel efficiency. The Mercedes system has safety measures that intervene when necessary, such as automatically upshifting to protect the engine if the RPM gets too high. In city traffic, manual gear control makes the car more responsive when starting. However, avoid reckless operation—sudden downshifting at high speeds may damage the engine. I recommend beginners practice on open roads first to enjoy the fingertip control experience.

What is the relationship between Bentley and Rolls-Royce?

Both are German brands. Bentley and Rolls-Royce were initially brands produced by the same factory. Later, due to poor management, Bentley was acquired by Volkswagen, and Rolls-Royce was acquired by BMW. More detailed introductions are as follows: 1. After Bentley and Rolls-Royce collaborated, the car designs were so similar that people might think Bentley was just a rebadged Rolls-Royce. 2. Currently, Bentley belongs to Volkswagen, and Rolls-Royce belongs to BMW. The two car brands follow their own design paths. Bentley mainly focuses on producing sports cars, while Rolls-Royce primarily manufactures high-quality, high-craftsmanship vehicles. 3. Born in the same era, each experienced different hardships. They came together for a common goal but eventually parted ways to become solitary rivals in the field. This is the relationship between Rolls-Royce and Bentley. Currently, these two car brands have become world-renowned luxury car brands.

What is the Principle of Ultrasonic Sensors?

Ultrasonic sensors primarily consist of two types of materials: piezoelectric crystals and nickel-iron-aluminum alloys. Piezoelectric crystal-based ultrasonic sensors are reversible transducers that can convert electrical energy into mechanical oscillations to generate ultrasonic waves. Conversely, when they receive ultrasonic waves, they can also convert them back into electrical energy. Below are some key aspects of ultrasonic waves: 1. Ultrasonic waves are mechanical vibrations with frequencies higher than 20 kHz. They are characterized by high frequency, short wavelength, minimal diffraction, and particularly strong directionality, allowing them to propagate directionally like rays. 2. Ultrasonic waves have strong penetration capabilities in liquids and solids, especially in opaque solids. When encountering impurities or interfaces, they produce significant reflections, forming echo signals. Additionally, they generate the Doppler effect when interacting with moving objects. 3. Ultrasonic sensors utilize sound wave media to perform non-contact, wear-free detection of objects. They can detect transparent or colored objects, metals or non-metals, as well as solids, liquids, and powdered materials. Their detection performance is virtually unaffected by any environmental conditions, including smoke, dust, or rainy weather.

What is the chassis code of the BMW 7 Series?

The chassis code of the BMW 7 Series is G70. The chassis refers to the four major components of a vehicle: the transmission system, running gear, steering system, and braking system. Its function is to support and install the car engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the car, receiving the engine's power to enable the car to move and ensure normal driving. The BMW 7 Series is a large luxury car equipped with four engines: a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine, a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged engine, and a 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged engine. Among them, the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 195 kW, a maximum torque of 400 Nm, a maximum power speed of 5000 to 6500 rpm, and a maximum torque speed of 1550 to 4500 rpm. This engine is equipped with direct injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.

What Causes the P Gear to Get Stuck?

Automatic transmission P gear getting stuck usually occurs when the P gear is hastily engaged before the vehicle comes to a complete stop, leading to difficulty in moving the gear lever. Below are the relevant details: 1. Function of the P gear: The P gear is designed to lock the rotating parts of the car mechanically, preventing the vehicle from moving. When the car needs to stay in a fixed position for an extended period or before leaving the vehicle after parking, the hand brake should be engaged, and the gear lever should be pushed into the P position. This mechanically locks the wheels to prevent rolling. 2. Avoiding damage: The P gear should only be used when the vehicle is completely stopped; otherwise, the mechanical parts of the automatic transmission may be damaged. Additionally, automatic transmission vehicles are equipped with a neutral start switch, ensuring the engine can only be started in the P or N gear to prevent sudden forward movement if accidentally started in other gears.
