Independent suspension means that the wheels on each side are individually suspended under the frame or body through an elastic suspension system. Its advantages include: Lightweight: Reduces the impact on the body and improves the ground adhesion of the wheels. Improved comfort: Softer springs with lower stiffness can be used to enhance the comfort of the vehicle. Lower engine position: The vehicle's center of gravity is also lowered, thereby improving driving stability; Independent wheel movement: Independent suspension arms that operate independently reduce body tilt and vibration; However, independent suspension systems have disadvantages such as complex structure, high cost, and inconvenient maintenance. Additionally, due to their complex structure, they may occupy some of the vehicle's interior space.

Where is the Hood Release Switch on a Mercedes-Benz?

Mercedes-Benz hood release switch is located under the dashboard on the driver's side. Here is some related information: 1. Mercedes-Benz is a German automobile manufacturer, and many of its models have been locally produced in China. The domestically produced models include the C-Class, A-Class, E-Class, GLA, GLB, GLC, EQC, etc. 2. The EQC is a pure electric SUV from Mercedes-Benz, with dimensions of 4774 mm in length, 1890 mm in width, 1622 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2873 mm. The EQC is a five-door, five-seat SUV model and features dual electric motors. It comes in both low-power and high-power versions. The low-power version has a total motor power of 210 kW, while the high-power version has a total motor power of 300 kW and a total torque of 730 Nm. The vehicle uses ternary lithium batteries across the lineup, which offer higher energy density and lighter weight. 3. The cathode of ternary lithium batteries is made from ternary materials; some use nickel, cobalt, and manganese, while others use nickel, cobalt, and aluminum. 4. The EQC's front suspension employs a double-wishbone independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent suspension.

What is the normal tire pressure for a Chevrolet Malibu?

The normal tire pressure range for a Chevrolet Malibu is 2.4-2.5 bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2 bar in winter and reduced by 0.1 bar in summer. This data is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard requirements. The Malibu does not come with a tire pressure monitoring system from the factory. It is recommended to purchase a tire pressure gauge, locate the original tire pressure label position, press the gauge onto the tire valve to measure and read the pressure, and remember to replace the valve cap after checking. Additionally, a tire pressure monitoring system can be installed. Generally, a tire pressure above 2.8 bar is considered too high, and below 2.0 bar is too low. Hazards of overinflation: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; overstretches tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. Hazards of underinflation: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; increases movement in all parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; reduces the functionality of cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the bead area and causing abnormal wear; multiplies friction between the tire and ground, sharply raising tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength. High-speed driving may result in a blowout. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no stamp on top, four small spikes below, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible causes: Abnormal tire pressure. Typically, it will alert if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are needed. Tire pressure monitoring not reset. After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset promptly, the system will still record the previous data, causing the indicator light to stay on. Simply reset the tire pressure. Damaged tire pressure sensor. The sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged during driving, the tire pressure warning light will activate. For sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new part.

How many kilometers can a non-full-size spare tire be driven?

It is best not to exceed 160 kilometers with a non-full-size spare tire. Non-full-size spare tires usually have speed limit markings. When driving on highways, do not exceed 80 kilometers per hour, and the usage time of the spare tire should not be too long, not exceeding two hours. Relevant information about non-full-size spare tires is as follows: 1. A non-full-size spare tire refers to a spare tire that is slightly smaller in diameter and narrower in width than the regular tires. 2. The spare tire has different speed ratings and load indexes compared to the four normal tires of the vehicle and cannot be used as a replacement. The spare tire is only for temporary use.

Can a Temporary License Plate Be Used for Interprovincial Travel?

There are generally two types of temporary license plates. The one with "blue background, black characters, and black borders" is only valid for travel within the province. The one with "brown-yellow background, black characters, and black borders" can be used for interprovincial travel. Additional information is as follows: 1. Temporary license plates have an expiration date clearly marked, so vehicle owners must pay attention to the validity period, which is typically 15 days. 2. Driving a vehicle without a valid license or temporary permit on the road will result in the vehicle being impounded, a fine of 10,000 yuan, and a six-month suspension of the driver's license.

Is it illegal to install a roof box on a sedan?

Installing a roof box on a sedan is not illegal. However, regulations stipulate that for passenger vehicles carrying cargo on roof racks, the height from the top of the vehicle must not exceed 0.5 meters, and the height from the ground must not exceed 4 meters. Exceeding either of these limits may result in a traffic ticket from the police. Relevant information about roof racks is as follows: 1. A roof rack is a device installed on the roof of a vehicle for carrying items, thereby increasing the interior space. Roof racks are convenient for carrying large amounts of luggage during travel. 2. Installing a roof rack increases the vehicle's wind resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption. Therefore, if not used for an extended period, the roof rack should be removed. Roof racks are suitable for medium to large vehicles such as commercial vehicles and SUVs.
