I just learned to drive recently and I'm particularly fascinated by the names of various car parts. Common 30 automotive terms include engine, transmission, chassis, suspension system, braking system, steering system, driveshaft, differential, accelerator, clutch, battery, alternator, headlights, taillights, ABS anti-lock braking system, ESP electronic stability program, TCS traction control system, ECU engine control unit, OBD onboard diagnostics system, catalytic converter, oxygen sensor, fuel injector, spark plug, belt, filter, tires, wheel rims, shock absorbers, cooling system and air conditioning system. The engine serves as the power center of the car, propelling it forward; the transmission adjusts speed, similar to shifting gears in manual transmission; the chassis is the skeleton of the entire vehicle, providing structural support; the suspension ensures smoother rides by reducing bumps; the braking system (brakes) can be lifesaving in emergencies; the steering system controls direction, allowing flexible turns; the driveshaft and differential handle power distribution to wheels; the accelerator is for acceleration while the clutch assists in gear shifting; the battery and alternator manage power supply; headlights and taillights provide essential nighttime illumination; ABS prevents wheel lock-up and skidding, ESP helps stabilize the vehicle body, TCS controls slippage - these high-tech features enhance safety; ECU and OBD act as intelligent brains monitoring engine issues; catalytic converter and oxygen sensor reduce pollution; fuel injector, spark plug, belt and filter are all engine components; tires and wheel rims form the wheel assembly, crucial for traction; shock absorbers dampen vibrations for comfort; cooling system dissipates heat while air conditioning provides cooling. Understanding these can help beginners better comprehend vehicle conditions and facilitate maintenance, such as regularly checking battery or tire pressure.

How to Remove and Install the Blower of Venucia T70?

Here are the steps for removing and installing the blower of Venucia T70: 1. Locate the exact position of the blower, which is behind the glove compartment on the passenger side; 2. First remove the rear storage box of the cup holder. To remove the cup holder, first take off the slender panel, then rotate counterclockwise to remove the blower. Below is more information about the blower: 1. Composition: The blower mainly consists of a motor, air filter, blower body, air chamber, base (also serving as an oil tank), and oil drip nozzle. 2. Working principle: The blower operates by the eccentric rotation of the rotor inside the cylinder, causing the volume between the blades in the rotor slots to change, thereby sucking in, compressing, and expelling air. 3. Sliding vane blower: During operation, the pressure difference of the blower automatically delivers lubrication to the oil drip nozzle, which drips into the cylinder to reduce friction and noise, while also preventing gas backflow in the cylinder.

What is Assisted Range?

Assisted range refers to a vehicle's ability to continuously travel in assisted mode, which is the average distance that can be covered on a full tank of fuel. The specific details are as follows: 1. The same hull or aircraft can have significantly different endurance capabilities at different speeds. For automobiles, it refers to the continuous travel distance, and the instrument panel displays how many kilometers the vehicle can still travel—this figure is the range. 2. Assisted range indicates the vehicle's continuous travel capability. For example, a 50L tank that allows the car to travel 600km represents the range. Many modern vehicles are equipped with this feature, which can be viewed on the instrument panel. This function enables the driver to monitor the remaining fuel level and the estimated distance the vehicle can still travel, as well as understand the vehicle's fuel consumption. The assisted range typically displays a set of numbers on the vehicle's dashboard.

How to Deal with Scratches on a White Car?

Treatment methods are as follows: 1. First, carefully wipe the scratch and the surrounding paint with a chamois cloth, then apply everyday toothpaste to the scratched area. Ensure the application is even, and reapply after rain or car washing. Note that applying toothpaste to the scratch only provides temporary protection and prevents rusting. 2. Start by sanding with very fine-grit sandpaper, sanding in straight lines to remove rust spots and toothpaste, then apply a thin, even layer of primer. After the primer dries, sand it smooth. 3. Carefully apply two layers of masking tape along both sides of the scratch, exposing only the scratch. It's best to apply multiple layers of tape. Be meticulous when applying to fully enclose the scratch, ensuring optimal touch-up results. 4. If the car came with a small can of original paint, apply it evenly over the primer with care. 5. If original paint is unavailable, use a touch-up pen. Shake the pen thoroughly before use and apply multiple coats, waiting 5-10 minutes between each. Once completely dry, sand smooth with sandpaper.

How to open the trunk of the Changan CS55 in the car?

The methods to open the trunk of the Changan CS55 are as follows: 1. On the driver's door panel, or below the left side of the steering wheel, or by using the trunk button on the key, press and hold for 2-3 seconds to open. If the smart key is not nearby and remote opening is not possible, press and hold the trunk button on the key for 2 seconds to open. As for how to close the trunk lid, simply push it gently until it latches. 2. Many car owners have reported issues with the trunk lid not staying closed. Some have found that after closing the trunk lid, it pops back open and an alarm sounds. This is likely because the car key was left inside the trunk, which is a protective measure to prevent the key from being locked inside the car.

What lights to use when turning at an intersection at night?

When making a left turn at an intersection at night: Turn on the low beam headlights and the left turn signal. Precautions for left turns: At intersections with a left-turn waiting area, when both the straight and left-turn directions are red, left-turning vehicles should stop behind the stop line and must not enter the left-turn waiting area. When the straight direction is green and the left turn is red, left-turning vehicles can enter the left-turn waiting area to wait. Traffic lights: Also known as traffic signals, they indicate whether vehicles and pedestrians can proceed. They are usually installed at intersections and other locations requiring traffic control, typically consisting of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light means stop, a green light means go, and a yellow light means caution.
