Is Variable Steering Ratio Useful?

1 Answers

Variable steering ratio is very useful. The variable steering ratio function means that at low speeds, you only need to turn the steering wheel once to lock it, while at higher speeds, it behaves like normal, requiring 1.5 turns to lock the steering wheel. Its main benefit is that when driving in 1st gear or reverse, you need to turn the steering wheel less to achieve better results, making it more effortless and improving maneuverability. Below are the names different manufacturers use for this feature: 1. BMW: AFS Active Front Steering 2. Mercedes-Benz: Direct Steering System 3. Audi: Dynamic Steering System.

Does the Volvo XC60 have a rollover prevention system?

Volvo XC60 is equipped with a rollover prevention system. The RSC (Roll Stability Control) system is one of the many active safety systems. Compared to ESC/ESP, it is primarily designed for high-friction road surfaces, relatively lower in cost, and easier to implement. The rollover stability system is a device that prevents vehicle rollovers. It monitors the vehicle's steering speed when turning on off-road surfaces, calculates the degree of vehicle roll based on signals from wheel sensors, and applies additional control to the outer wheels in a curve. When severe roll is detected on any side, the system quickly adjusts the braking force distribution between the wheels and reduces engine torque output to restore vehicle balance in the shortest time, minimizing the risk of rollover and ensuring the safety of occupants. The RSC system uses a gyroscopic sensor. During sharp turns or rapid steering by the driver, it automatically records the rate of change in the vehicle's tilt angle. Based on this rate, it calculates the final tilt angle to assess the risk of rollover. If a rollover risk is detected, the system activates the braking system to stabilize the vehicle, giving the driver time to handle the situation safely. The RSC system's electronic control unit includes a lateral acceleration sensor that continuously measures the vehicle's lateral acceleration and calculates the critical acceleration limit. When lateral acceleration approaches this limit, the system activates the ASR solenoid valve and the ABS solenoid valve on the drive axle to apply braking, slowing the vehicle down. For tractor-trailers, an additional solenoid valve is activated to send a braking signal to the trailer control valve, applying brakes to the trailer as well.

What Causes the Squeaking Sound from Brake Pads?

Brake pads produce a squeaking sound due to the following reasons: 1. Severe wear of the brake pads, reaching the warning line or being completely worn out; 2. Deterioration in the quality of the brake pads; 3. Improper installation of the braking system causing abnormal noise; 4. Presence of foreign objects in the brake pads or rust on the brake disc. Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are critical safety components in a car's braking system. The effectiveness of all braking relies heavily on the condition of the brake pads. Brake pads typically consist of a steel plate, an adhesive heat-insulating layer, and a friction block. The steel plate is coated to prevent rust, and the coating process is monitored using an SMT4 furnace temperature tracker to ensure temperature distribution during the coating process, thereby guaranteeing quality.

How to Open an Oil Can Lid More Effortlessly?

The methods to open an oil can lid more effortlessly are: 1. Locate the joint at the edge of the oil can lid and break it from there, then peel off the seal; 2. Insert a screwdriver between the lid and the top joint of the can to start prying, and you can use two screwdrivers alternately for leverage; 3. After prying open half or two-thirds of the lid, twist it off by hand to remove the oil can lid completely. The primary functions of engine oil are to reduce friction and wear on moving parts, clean sludge (one of the functions of dispersants) and varnish (detergents) from the engine, neutralize acids produced by fuel combustion and lubricant oxidation (detergents), improve piston ring sealing, and cool the engine by carrying away heat from moving components.

How to Remove Snow from Car Windows?

Methods for removing snow from car windows are as follows: 1. Start the car, turn on the air conditioning, and set it to hot air, directing it towards the windows. As the windows gradually heat up, the snow will slowly thaw in small amounts; 2. Use a brush or towel to remove the snow. If ice forms, use a dedicated ice scraper or plastic scraper to remove any remaining ice chips. Only use the windshield wipers after all snow has been cleared from the windows. Incorrect practices include: 1. Habitually turning on the windshield wipers, which can damage them in cold weather; 2. Pouring hot water on the windows, as the rapid temperature change due to thermal expansion and contraction can cause the glass to crack.

How to Turn on the Warm Air in Toyota Yaris L?

Toyota Yaris L's air conditioning system uses mechanical buttons. The method to turn on warm air or hot air is directly set on the control panel. To adjust the temperature setting, turn the temperature control knob clockwise (warm) or counterclockwise (cold). If not adjusted, the system will blow room temperature or warm air. To adjust the fan speed, turn the fan speed control knob clockwise (increase) or counterclockwise (decrease). The body dimensions of Toyota Yaris L are 4160mm in length, 1700mm in width, and 1495mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2550mm. The 1.5L and 1.3L engine models of Toyota Yaris L are 7NR and 6NR respectively. These two engines have different displacements and power outputs, but both are relatively stable.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on Ford Transit?

Ford Transit tire pressure light reset method: 1. Start the engine and activate all electronic systems of the vehicle; 2. Depress the brake pedal and start the engine; 3. When all dashboard lights illuminate, use an air pump to inflate all four tires to the standard pressure; 4. Press and hold the tire pressure reset button for a few seconds to reset the tire pressure light. The tire pressure monitoring device can monitor the tire pressure in real-time. Installing a tire pressure monitoring alarm in the vehicle can prevent accidents caused by abnormal tire pressure. The Ford Transit is a classic model under Jiangling Ford, with body dimensions of 5418mm in length, 1974mm in width, and 2232mm in height, a wheelbase of 3570mm, and a top speed of 110km/h.
