It is necessary to install an underbody guard because manufacturers often omit it to reduce production costs. Even if included, it is usually made of felt material, which only serves a cleaning function. Below is relevant information about underbody guards: Functions of underbody guards: The underbody guard enhances the flatness of the chassis, reducing air resistance during driving, and prevents mud and water from splashing into the engine compartment. In poor road conditions, it also protects the engine oil pan and transmission. Common materials for underbody guards: Common materials for underbody guards include steel plates, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, and resin. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages. Metal guards offer high strength but may cause resonance and louder noise. Resin materials are lighter and provide better chassis flatness.

What is the power of the X-Trail?

The maximum power of the new X-Trail 2.5 configuration parameters is stated as 137 kilowatts, while the internally stated net power is only 126 kilowatts. Introduction to car power: Car power refers to the work done by the car per unit of time. Power refers to the work done by an object per unit of time. The greater the power, the greater the torque, and the higher the pulling force of the car. Maximum power is commonly used to describe the dynamic performance of a car. Maximum power is generally expressed in horsepower (PS) or kilowatts (kW), with 1 horsepower equal to 0.735 kilowatts. Power is a physical quantity that indicates how fast an object does work. In physics, power P = work W / time t, and the unit is watts (W). Power units: Power units include kW, PS, HP, BHP, WHP, etc., as well as CV, which was previously used in Italy. Among these, kilowatts (kW) is the international standard unit, where 1 kW = 1000 W. If 1000 joules of work is done in 1 second, the power is 1 kW. In daily life, power is often colloquially referred to as horsepower, with the unit being 'horsepower,' just as torque is called 'twisting force.' In cars, the largest work machine is the engine, and the engine's power is calculated from torque.

Why does the new Focus display 'Hill Start Assist Unavailable'?

The reasons and solutions for the new Focus displaying 'Hill Start Assist Unavailable' are as follows: Unsuitable road conditions: The reason why the new Ford Focus car prompts that hill start assist is unavailable is that the car is in a road condition that is not suitable for the hill start assist system. The hill start assist system of the car is automatically activated. Solution: When the car is in a condition where the hill start assist system can be used, it will automatically activate. The hill start assist system is generally used during the uphill process of the Ford Focus car. If the brake is released, the hill start assist system will also automatically engage to achieve the braking effect, preventing the car from rolling backward. Generally, the hill start assist function of the Ford Focus car is enabled by default and cannot be turned off manually. A function similar to hill start assist is hill descent control. The hill start assist system will automatically apply the brakes when the car is going downhill, controlling the speed to ensure safety.

Is 12 liters per 100 kilometers considered high fuel consumption?

1.6L engine consuming 12 liters per 100 kilometers is not considered high if driving only in congested urban areas. Here are some related introductions about fuel consumption: 1. Driving habits and road conditions: Fuel consumption is greatly influenced by driving habits and road conditions. Avoid hard acceleration; gradual acceleration when starting is the most fuel-efficient. To save fuel, avoid heavy throttle when starting, as heavy throttle can increase fuel consumption by 2 to 3 times compared to normal acceleration. 2. Braking: Maintaining distance and avoiding frequent braking saves more fuel. If you don't maintain distance, you may need to brake frequently on the road. When braking, an automatic transmission vehicle will downshift, requiring the engine to pull back up from lower gears. Starting from a stop or in lower gears requires the engine to consume more fuel.

How to engage 4WD in Mitsubishi Pajero?

There are three main methods to use the 4WD system in Mitsubishi Pajero: 1. Differential lock engagement: Next to the gear shift lever of the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, there is a smaller 4WD lever. The options are H2, H4, H4L, and L4L. All modes with the number 4 are 4WD modes: H2 is high-speed 2WD, H4 is high-speed 4WD, H4L is high-speed 4WD with differential lock engaged, and L4L is low-speed 4WD with differential lock engaged. 2. Drive modes: Only H2 is 2WD mode, while the other three are 4WD modes. Simply shift the small lever to one of the 4WD positions. The three different 4WD modes are selected based on varying road conditions—basically, the more challenging the terrain, the further back the mode you should choose. 3. Gear shifting: To engage low-range 4WD (L4L), the vehicle must be stopped, whereas high-range 4WD (H4) can be engaged without stopping and allows free switching between 0-80 km/h. The front differential lock does not require shifting to neutral (N), but the vehicle must be stationary to engage it.
