It is recommended to replace a dented front fender. The relevant introduction about the front fender is as follows: Introduction 1: The fender, also known as the wing panel, is the outer body panel that covers the wheel. It is divided into the front fender and rear fender based on the installation position. Introduction 2: Its function is to utilize fluid dynamics to reduce the drag coefficient and make the vehicle run more smoothly. The front fender is installed at the front wheel. Since the front wheel has a steering function, it is necessary to ensure the maximum limit space when the front wheel turns. Therefore, designers will use the "wheel bounce diagram" to verify the design dimensions of the fender based on the selected tire model and size. Introduction 3: The rear fender does not have the problem of wheel rotation collision, but for aerodynamic considerations, the rear fender is slightly arched outward.

How to Activate Cruise Control on Audi A5?

Here is the method to activate cruise control on Audi A5: Pull the control lever to the "ON" position to turn on the Audi A5 cruise control system. The function of Audi A5 cruise control is to maintain a constant speed without the driver needing to keep their foot on the accelerator pedal. It can be used on highways or open roads, but improper use of cruise control can be dangerous. Cruise control should only be used when driving on clear, open highways under good weather conditions. Additional information: The cruise control system (CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM), abbreviated as CCS, is also known as a speed control device, speed control system, or autopilot system. Its function is to automatically maintain the vehicle speed as set by the driver without the need to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the vehicle to travel at a fixed speed. With this system, drivers no longer need to control the accelerator pedal during long highway drives, reducing fatigue and unnecessary speed changes, which can save fuel.

What to Do When MINI Runs Out of Fuel and Electricity?

When encountering a situation where the MINI has no fuel and electricity, it is recommended to directly call the 24-hour rescue hotline, though the owner may need to cover the cost. Additional information: The difference between plug-in hybrid vehicles and regular hybrid vehicles: Regular hybrid vehicles have very small battery capacities, which only supply/recover energy during start/stop and acceleration/deceleration. They cannot be charged externally and cannot travel long distances in pure electric mode. Plug-in hybrid vehicles have relatively larger batteries, can be charged externally, and can operate in pure electric mode. Once the battery is depleted, they switch to hybrid mode (primarily using the internal combustion engine) and recharge the battery as needed. When there is no electricity, the engine's energy is divided into two parts: one part is consumed by the car, and the other part drives the generator to charge the battery. In this scenario, fuel consumption is higher than that of conventional cars.

Can the Car Pass the Annual Inspection with the Handbrake Light On?

According to regulations, the car cannot pass the annual inspection if the handbrake light is on. If the handbrake is damaged, it needs to be repaired promptly: If the parking brake (handbrake) cannot stably brake the car or cannot fully release, you should immediately ask the dealer or service station to inspect it. Before leaving the car, the parking brake (handbrake) should usually be fully engaged; otherwise, the car may move, causing injury or damage. Precautions for using the handbrake: Do not engage the parking brake while the car is moving, as this may cause the rear brakes to overheat, reducing their effectiveness, shortening the lifespan of the brakes, and potentially causing permanent damage.

What is the speed of the supercharger?

The supercharger is installed on the exhaust side of the engine, so it operates at very high temperatures. During operation, the rotor speed of the supercharger is extremely high, reaching up to hundreds of thousands of revolutions per minute. Turbocharger: Turbochargers often operate at high speeds and temperatures. The exhaust turbine side of the turbocharger can reach temperatures around 600 degrees Celsius, and the turbocharger rotor spins at speeds between 8,000 to 11,000 rpm. Therefore, to ensure the turbocharger functions properly. Do not drive off immediately: After starting the engine, especially in winter, allow it to idle for a while to ensure the lubricating oil fully lubricates the bearings before the turbocharger rotor reaches high speeds. Thus, avoid revving the engine aggressively right after startup to prevent damage to the turbocharger oil seal.
