Subaru Forester 4WD is a full-time 4WD system. The horizontally opposed engine is a highlight of Subaru, and another highlight is the full-time four-wheel drive. Introduction to Full-Time 4WD: The full-time 4WD is equipped with three differential locks, providing better stability in four-wheel drive mode, whether driving straight or taking corners with ease. This four-wheel drive mode offers good handling without requiring manual switching by the driver, but it has lower intelligence and cannot automatically distribute torque. Vehicles equipped with this four-wheel drive system generally have high fuel consumption. Introduction to On-Demand 4WD: On-demand 4WD vehicles usually operate with front-wheel drive only. When it detects the front wheels starting to slip, it begins to transfer power to the rear wheels that were not initially driven. The response is slower than full-time four-wheel drive, so the off-road capability of on-demand 4WD is inferior, and both handling and high-speed stability are not as good as full-time 4WD.

What causes the Audi to indicate an automatic headlight malfunction?

Audi indicating an automatic headlight malfunction may be caused by a headlight control module failure, headlight motor issues, or wiring problems. Below is relevant information about car headlights: 1. Definition of car headlights: Car headlights, also known as car front headlights or car LED daytime running lights, serve as the 'eyes' of a car. They not only relate to the external image of the car owner but are also closely linked to safe driving at night or under bad weather conditions. The use and maintenance of car lights should not be overlooked. 2. Car light language: Communication between people is inseparable from language, but does a similar language exist in daily driving? The answer is undoubtedly yes. Lights and horns become the medium of communication between cars.

Why does the Audi's fan keep running after the engine is turned off?

Audi's fan continues to run after the engine is turned off because the car's engine temperature is very high. The onboard computer will automatically activate the cooling fan based on the engine's temperature sensor to perform cooling operations until the engine temperature drops to an appropriate level, at which point the fan will automatically stop working. Below is relevant information about the Audi car's fan: 1. Function: Primarily used for engine cooling and coolant cooling, ensuring the engine does not overheat and malfunction. The car engine must be properly cooled under high-temperature working conditions to maintain an optimal operating temperature, meeting the requirements for good engine performance, durability, and exhaust emissions. The engine cooling system plays a crucial role here, mainly consisting of components such as the cooling fan, radiator, thermostat, etc. 2. Principle: To prevent engine overheating and ensure cooling efficiency, components around the combustion chamber (such as the cylinder liner, cylinder head, valves, etc.) must be adequately cooled. The car cooling system typically consists of the radiator, thermostat, water pump, cylinder block water channel, cylinder head water channel, fan, etc. The radiator is responsible for cooling the circulating water, with its pipes and cooling fins often made of aluminum. The aluminum pipes are designed in a flat shape, and the cooling fins have a corrugated structure to enhance heat dissipation performance. The installation direction is perpendicular to the airflow direction to minimize wind resistance and maximize cooling efficiency. The coolant flows inside the radiator core, while air passes outside the radiator core. The hot coolant cools down by dissipating heat to the air, while the cold air heats up by absorbing the heat from the coolant. Thus, the radiator functions as a heat exchanger.
