Rear-wheel drive cars are very slippery after snow. On snowy days, the road surface is slippery with reduced friction, making cars prone to skidding: The drive wheels of rear-wheel drive cars are the rear wheels, which can be figuratively understood as 'pushing' the car forward. Front-engine rear-wheel drive vehicles are prone to oversteer during turns. This drive configuration is commonly used in luxury sedans, such as BMW's entire lineup which consists of rear-wheel drive models. When the friction between the car's weight and the ground exceeds the propulsion provided by the rear wheels, the car cannot move: The weight of the car is concentrated at the front, while the power comes from the rear wheels. When the friction generated by the car's weight against the ground exceeds the forward propulsion provided by the rear wheels, the vehicle simply cannot move forward.

How many points are deducted for not wearing a seatbelt at one time?

Not wearing a seatbelt deducts 2 points at one time. The function of a seatbelt: A car seatbelt is a safety device designed to restrain occupants during a collision and prevent secondary collisions with the steering wheel, dashboard, etc., or to avoid injuries or fatalities caused by being ejected from the vehicle during a crash. The car seatbelt is widely recognized as the most cost-effective and efficient safety device, and its installation is mandatory in many countries. How to use a seatbelt: Adjust the seatbelt appropriately, gently pull it across your arm, and be careful not to pull too quickly, otherwise the safety latch may jam. Ensure the seatbelt is placed in the correct position, fasten the other end to the correct spot, which is the side below the seat, and then give a gentle tug to ensure it is securely fastened. Adjust the chest part of the seatbelt so that it lies flat across your chest. Make sure that after wearing the seatbelt, you can move around comfortably without feeling restricted.

How Long Does a New Car Need to Air Out?

It generally takes about a year. Methods to quickly remove odors: Ventilation method: For the first six months after purchasing a new car or after decoration, develop the habit of driving with the windows slightly open to maintain fresh air circulation inside the car. Negative ion air purifier method: Purchase a negative ion air purifier to eliminate odors inside the car and allow the driver to breathe fresh air. Precautions for new cars: First, ensure that the engine oil, coolant, and battery electrolyte levels are sufficient during the break-in period. These must be adequately maintained and replenished promptly. Second, avoid running the engine at full load because the engine and shock absorber components need to break in with each other. Driving at full load during the break-in period can cause significant damage to the engine and other components.

What type of battery does Xinyue use?

Lithium iron phosphate battery. Safety of lithium iron phosphate battery: Lithium iron phosphate batteries have relatively high safety performance. Their advantages include long lifespan, good high-temperature performance, large capacity, and lightweight. For the same specifications and capacity, the volume of a lithium iron phosphate battery is two-thirds that of a lead-acid battery, and its weight is also lighter. Function of lithium iron phosphate battery: Lithium iron phosphate batteries are suitable for high-current discharge scenarios, offering long cycle life, safety, reliability, and low manufacturing costs. They are most suitable for electric vehicles and are a hot topic in lithium battery research (lithium iron phosphate batteries are also a type of lithium battery). However, their energy storage density is slightly lower than that of lithium polymer batteries, and their voltage is also lower, so they cannot completely replace current lithium polymer batteries.

Why does the idle speed suddenly increase?

It is due to a faulty throttle in the vehicle. Hazards of high idle speed: High idle speed leads to increased fuel consumption. When the engine is cold, it can cause mechanical wear inside the vehicle and is not conducive to oil lubrication. A damaged sensor can cause unstable idle speed, difficulty in cold starts, and in severe cases, may even result in no idle speed, causing the engine to stall when the accelerator is released. Normal idle speed: Generally, normal idle speed ranges between 700-1500 rpm, slightly higher when the engine is cold. Both excessively high and low idle speeds are detrimental to engine operation. Low idle speed prolongs warm-up time and reduces starting power, while high idle speed increases fuel consumption, promotes carbon buildup, and accelerates engine wear.
