The benefits of a rear axle limited-slip differential are that it can compensate for the wheel spin caused by a wheel being off the ground in a conventional differential, where the differential continuously transmits power to the spinning wheel with no resistance. Vehicles equipped with a rear axle limited-slip differential can also perform large-scale drift maneuvers during aggressive driving. More details are as follows: 1. When a car is driving on a curve, there is a certain difference in the rotational speed between the inner and outer wheels. The outer wheel travels a longer distance and rotates at a higher speed than the inner wheel. The differential is used to create a difference in wheel speed, allowing for reasonable torque distribution between the left and right wheels during turns to achieve optimal turning performance. At this point, a differential is needed to regulate the speed, and almost all vehicles are equipped with one. 2. The rear axle differential lock is located between the two front wheels of the vehicle and serves the opposite function of the differential. That is, it prevents the differential from working, ensuring that both wheels rotate at the same speed.

Where is the OBD interface of the Peugeot 3008 located?

OBD is the abbreviation of On-Board Diagnostic, which translates to "On-Board Diagnostic System" in Chinese. The OBD diagnostic interface of the Peugeot 3008 is located in the fuse box position below the left side of the steering wheel. Open the decorative panel and pull it out directly. The OBD interface is the black and green socket. Here is some relevant information about OBD: 1. OBD is the abbreviation of On-Board Diagnostic, which translates to "On-Board Diagnostic System" in Chinese. This system continuously monitors the operating conditions of the engine and the working status of the exhaust after-treatment system. Once it detects a situation that may cause excessive emissions, it will immediately issue a warning. 2. When a fault occurs in the system, the fault light (MIL) or Check Engine warning light will illuminate, and the OBD system will store the fault information in the memory. Relevant information can be read in the form of fault codes through standard diagnostic instruments and diagnostic interfaces. Based on the prompts of the fault codes, maintenance personnel can quickly and accurately determine the nature and location of the fault.

How is crossing the line judged in Subject 2?

Crossing the line means the vehicle body goes out of the designated line. In the Subject 2 driving test, if the vehicle body crosses the line, 100 points will be deducted, resulting in a failed test. In addition to crossing the line, other actions that deduct 100 points include failing to park properly in reverse parking, stopping midway, not following the prescribed route or sequence, and exceeding the allotted time. The full score for Subject 2 is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failure, deduction of 20 points, 10 points, or 5 points. The test is passed under the following conditions: ① For large buses, tractors, city buses, medium buses, and large trucks, a score of 90 or above is required; ② For other vehicle types, a score of 80 or above is required. Candidates who fail the Subject 2 test can retake it once on the same day.
