The differences between halogen and xenon headlights are: 1. Different light intensity: Halogen headlights output 1200 lumens; xenon headlights output 4500 lumens. 2. Different durability: The service life of halogen headlights is 500 hours; the service life of xenon headlights is up to 30,000 hours or more. 3. Different lighting effects: Halogen headlights provide uniform light; xenon headlights have relatively concentrated light with darker sides. 4. Different illumination distances: Halogen headlights have an illumination distance of 4.4 meters; xenon headlights have an illumination distance of 5.2 meters. The working principle of halogen headlights is: Halogen gas such as iodine or bromine is injected into the bulb, and the tungsten filament sublimated at high temperature chemically reacts with the halogen. The cooled tungsten will re-solidify on the tungsten filament, forming a balanced cycle to prevent premature breakage of the tungsten filament.

How Many Centimeters of Water Can a Car Pass Through?

Water accumulation below 20 to 30 centimeters can be passed by ordinary sedans, while SUVs can handle water levels below 30 to 40 centimeters. The safest wading height is when the water does not exceed two-thirds of the tire height. Vehicle Wading Limits: The safe wading height of a vehicle depends on the position of the air intake. Most vehicles have their air intake located under the front hood, parallel to the upper edge of the headlights. As long as the wading height does not exceed the air intake position, there should be no issues. However, when driving through water, the underwater road conditions are unknown, and encountering potholes or manhole covers may lead to water entering the engine. Additionally, when the water level exceeds two-thirds of the tire height, water may flood into the car. If the water reaches the bumper or two-thirds of the tire height, continuing to drive through water poses certain risks. Wading Precautions: Turn off the air conditioning. When the air conditioning is on, the electric fan at the front of the car remains running, and the rotating fan blades can stir up water, potentially causing water to enter the engine. Therefore, it is advisable to turn off the air conditioning before wading and wait for the electric fan to stop before entering the waterlogged area. Turn off all electrical devices. Before wading, all onboard electrical equipment, such as the air conditioning, radio, dashcam, and cigarette lighter, should be turned off to prevent electrical short circuits caused by water entering the devices.

What does it mean when the EPS light comes on in a car?

When the EPS light comes on in a car, it indicates a fault in the Electric Power Steering system. The function of EPS is to use the power generated by an electric motor to assist the driver with steering, providing direct steering assistance through the electric power motor. This eliminates the need for components such as the power steering oil pump, hoses, hydraulic fluid, drive belt, and pulley mounted on the engine found in hydraulic power steering systems, saving energy and protecting the environment. The working principle of EPS is: when the steering wheel is operated, the torque sensor mounted on the steering column continuously measures torque and steering angle signals. These signals, along with the vehicle speed, are input into the Electronic Control Unit (ECU). After calculation and processing by the ECU, it controls the motor to output a corresponding torque signal in terms of magnitude and direction. The main torque from the motor is then increased through a speed reducer and applied to the steering system to achieve power steering assistance for the vehicle.
