Ducati is a brand under Audi, and Audi is a brand under Volkswagen, so Ducati can be considered a subsidiary of Volkswagen. Ducati is a motorcycle manufacturer from Italy, established in 1926. The founder of Ducati was Antonio Cavalieri Ducati. In 2006, an Italian industrial investment holding company acquired Ducati, bringing the Ducati trademark back to Italy. In April 2012, Audi officially acquired Ducati. Ducati's main products include: Ducati Monster 900, DUCATI MONSTER 900 SPECIAL, DUCATI 996, Ducati Monster 600, DUCATI 748S, Ducati Supersport 750, DUCATI 996R, Ducati DUCATI 999, Ducati 795, Ducati 848, Ducati 1098, 1098S, 1098R, 1199 Panigale, and others.

I remember a friend asked me if Ducati belongs to Volkswagen, since we often chat about motorcycle brands. Indeed, Ducati is now part of the Volkswagen Group. This acquisition was made by Audi in 2012, and Audi is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Volkswagen. The Volkswagen conglomerate owns many brands, like Audi, Porsche, and Lamborghini. With Ducati, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer joining the group, it can share resources such as R&D. Ducati has a long history, starting in the 1920s, and now boasts famous series like Monster and Panigale. I've ridden their bikes—performance is explosive, but Volkswagen's ownership ensures more stable parts supply. It's like adding a new member to a family business; independence remains, but with stronger backing. If you love motorcycles, you should know this relationship doesn’t dampen Ducati's passion.

Where is the headlight height adjustment switch for the Mazda3 Axela?

The headlight height adjustment switch for the Mazda3 Axela is located below the driver's left-hand side. The knob with the light symbol is the headlight height adjustment knob, which has different height settings: 1. Setting 0 is the lowest height, with the shortest illumination distance. 2. Setting 1 is slightly higher than setting 0, increasing the illumination distance. 3. Setting 2 is medium height. 4. Setting 3 is the highest setting, providing the farthest illumination distance. Additional information: Steps to adjust headlight height: First, choose a dim environment, such as an underground parking lot or nighttime, and park the car facing a wall, ensuring the front is aligned with the wall at a distance of about 5-6 meters. Second, turn on the headlights and cover one headlight with an opaque thick cloth to adjust each headlight individually. Third, mark the center of the light beam on the wall with a marker or chalk, and also mark the position corresponding to the car's emblem on the wall. Measure the distance between the marks of each headlight and the center position—these distances should be equal. If the beams are tilted outward or inward, refer to the vehicle's manual and use a screwdriver for fine adjustments to ensure symmetry. Fourth, adjust the beam height using a hex wrench or screwdriver to turn the white screw on the headlight. The right headlight should be adjusted to shine horizontally, while the left headlight should be raised about 10 cm, but not too high to avoid blinding oncoming drivers. The right headlight's beam can be slightly tilted to the right to improve visibility on the right side of the vehicle.

What is the difference between TFSI and TSI?

The differences between TFSI and TSI are as follows: 1. Definitional differences: TSI stands for Twin-charger-Fuel-Stratified-Injection, which can be understood from the surface meaning of the letters as twin-charging + stratified combustion + injection. TSI is an extremely efficient engine form, achieving a perfect balance between power and fuel economy. TFSI is an FSI engine with turbocharging (T), abbreviated as TFSI. FSI stands for Fuel-Stratified-Injection, which means fuel stratified injection technology in Chinese. Fuel stratified injection technology is a type of engine lean-burn technology. Lean-burn means the gasoline content in the engine's air-fuel mixture is low, with a gasoline-to-air ratio that can reach 1:25 or higher. 2. Characteristic differences: Features of the TSI engine: minimal power loss, capable of achieving significant power output even with a small displacement. Features of the TFSI engine: Firstly, it reduces fuel consumption and improves emissions; secondly, it lightens the engine weight, saving fuel while lowering production costs. 3. Differences in working principles: TFSI is an FSI engine with turbocharging (T). Turbocharging uses the high-temperature, high-pressure exhaust gases from the engine to drive the turbine at high speed, which in turn drives the intake turbine to compress the intake air, increasing air density. Simultaneously, the computer controls an increase in fuel injection to match the high-density intake air, thereby improving engine efficiency without changing the displacement. TSI combines a turbocharger (Turbocharger) and a supercharger (Supercharger) in one engine. To further enhance engine efficiency, a supercharger is added to increase intake pressure at low RPMs.

What is the minimum ground clearance of the Mercedes-Benz S450 chassis?

The minimum ground clearance of the Mercedes-Benz S450 chassis is 150mm. Below is relevant information about minimum ground clearance: 1. Definition: The minimum ground clearance of a car refers to the shortest distance between the car's chassis and the ground when the car is under maximum load. 2. Significance: The greater the minimum ground clearance of a car, the better its passing performance will be; the smaller the minimum ground clearance, the worse its passing performance. 3. Relationship between ground clearance and stability: The greater the minimum ground clearance of a car, the worse its center of gravity will be, and the stability during driving will also deteriorate. Conversely, the smaller the minimum ground clearance, the better the car's stability will be.

Why does the car USB only charge but not recognize the phone?

When the car USB only charges but does not recognize the phone, it is usually due to insufficient power output from the car's USB port and the phone's interface. Here are the relevant details: 1. USB car charger: Commonly referred to as a USB car charger. It utilizes the universality of USB, which is widely used for various charging interfaces. When applied to cars, it converts the vehicle's 12V-DC or 24V-DC into the common DC-5V voltage for USB and other charging devices. 2. Common specifications of USB car chargers: Output: 5V-DC-500mA; 5V-DC-700mA; 5V-DC-1000mA; 5V-DC-2000mA.
