Advantages are as follows: 1. Advantage one: The Torsen differential achieves constant and continuous torque control management. It operates continuously without any time delay, yet it does not interfere with the adjustment of total torque output, thus eliminating any torque loss. Compared to traction control and vehicle stability control systems, it offers greater superiority. Since it lacks the multi-plate clutches found in traditional self-locking differentials, there is no wear and tear, making it maintenance-free. The purely mechanical LSD boasts excellent reliability. 2. Advantage two: The Torsen differential can be matched with any transmission or transfer case and is compatible with other vehicle safety control systems such as ABS, TCS (Traction Control Systems), and SCS (Stability Control Systems). The Torsen differential is a purely mechanical structure that activates the moment a wheel begins to slip, featuring a linear locking characteristic. 3. Advantage three: The Torsen limited-slip differential is a fully automatic, purely mechanical limited-slip differential that is highly reliable, durable, and quick to respond. From certain perspectives, it represents a very balanced design. It can respond to torque differences between drive wheels in a very short time, adjusting torque output to address wheel differential issues. Moreover, its locking characteristic is highly linear and can be adjusted over a relatively wide torque range without being limited by the structural space of the differential housing, thus maximizing its effectiveness.

Can Temporary License Plates Actually Be Captured by Cameras?

Temporary license plate violations can indeed be captured by cameras, so drivers should always be cautious to avoid violations. Here are more details about temporary license plates: 1. For unregistered vehicles that need to temporarily drive on the road, two temporary license plates must be affixed simultaneously. One should be placed on the lower left or right corner of the front windshield inside the vehicle, in a position that does not obstruct the driver's view, and the other should be placed on the lower left corner of the rear windshield inside the vehicle. 2. This paper temporary license plate also records detailed personal information of the vehicle owner and any violation records. When the owner replaces the temporary plate with a permanent one, these violation records will be disclosed. 3. Although temporary license plates are just two pieces of paper, all penalty regulations apply the same as for permanent license plates. Any violation, regardless of the type of license plate, will result in appropriate penalties.

What formats does the Atenza USB drive support?

The Atenza USB drive supports the FAT32 file system format. In most cases, while car USB drives may support other formats on computers, other external devices only support the FAT32 file system format. Therefore, when using a USB drive to listen to music in a car, it must be formatted to FAT32; otherwise, it cannot be read. 1. Exterior: The front grille still features a shield design with a honeycomb pattern inside, giving the overall visual appearance a more refined and sporty feel. 2. Interior: The overall changes are not significant, but details have been optimized to enhance the vehicle's sense of quality. The air vents in the new Atenza have become flatter and are positioned higher, while the air conditioning panel below has fewer buttons, resulting in a cleaner visual effect. 3. Powertrain: It is equipped with two naturally aspirated engines, a 2.0L and a 2.5L.

Should you shift to P or N when stopping at a red light with an automatic transmission?

When waiting at a red light with an automatic transmission, it is recommended to shift to N (Neutral) gear. If the wait is longer, you can also engage the handbrake. There is no problem with shifting to N gear for a short time while waiting at a red light, but leaving it in N gear for an extended period can damage the car, especially the transmission. Reasons not to shift to P (Park) gear while waiting at a red light: 1. Shifting to P gear without engaging the handbrake can cause damage to certain components; 2. The process of starting from P gear is cumbersome; 3. Frequently shifting to P gear can cause the automatic transmission gears to grind, damaging the transmission bearings. The correct procedure when waiting at a red light is: press the brake and shift to N gear, then when the light turns green, shift to D (Drive) gear to start driving.

What Causes Engine Vibration While Driving?

Reasons for feeling engine vibration while driving are as follows: 1. Engine mount aging or loosening: Engine mounts are rubber blocks placed between the engine and the frame. If they age or loosen, engine vibration becomes noticeably abnormal. 2. Engine misfire: This mainly refers to one or more cylinders not functioning properly, typically manifested as intermittent exhaust flow, severe shaking of the exhaust pipe, and noticeable engine vibration, sometimes accompanied by a sputtering sound. 3. Carbon buildup: Excessive carbon deposits inside the engine can reduce ignition energy and intake efficiency, ultimately causing symptoms like engine vibration and weak acceleration. 4. Fuel system malfunction: Using incompatible fuel grades can decrease the car's power output and performance; or a clogged fuel tank vent, fuel tank switch, fuel filter, or fuel line between the tank and carburetor can restrict fuel supply, leading to a lean mixture and engine vibration. 5. Intake system malfunction: Long-term use without cleaning can clog the air filter, reducing air intake and causing an overly rich combustible mixture, which decreases engine power. 6. Cold start: During a cold start, the engine's lubrication is poor, the oil is less fluid and more viscous, leading to mechanical wear noises. The coolant temperature is low, the mixture is rich, and incomplete combustion can cause engine vibration.

What are the steps for changing engine oil and oil filter?

1. Remove the drain plug to drain the engine oil. 2. After draining, clean the drain plug and reinstall it. Tighten it to the specified torque: 30N·m 3. Loosen the oil filter using an oil filter wrench. 4. Apply engine oil to the O-ring of the new oil filter. 5. Hand-tighten the new oil filter onto the filter bracket until the O-ring contacts the mounting surface. Then, use the oil filter wrench to tighten it further. Pay attention to the exact position where the O-ring initially contacts the mounting surface for proper tightening. 6. After contact with the mounting surface, tighten the filter an additional 3/4 turn using the oil filter wrench. Tightening torque: 15N·m. For safe operation, note the following when changing the engine oil filter: Park the car on a level surface, as an inclined surface may prevent complete drainage of old oil. It's best to change the engine oil filter before driving. If the engine has been running, wait at least 30 minutes after shutdown to allow the oil to fully return to the oil pan.
