Start-stop function has no impact on the engine. The following is an introduction to the automatic start-stop system: 1. The role of the automatic start-stop system: During traffic congestion or waiting at red lights, the engine can shut off, saving the fuel consumed by idling at that moment. When it's time to drive, the engine starts immediately. 2. More than 80% of car engine wear comes from the moment of cold start, while normal idling operation accounts for about 20%. The automatic start-stop system operates in a hot start environment, only temporarily shutting off the engine during brief stops. 3. The start-stop function stops the engine from working, but the oil system does not stop. Although the engine is not rotating, oil still flows inside the engine, ensuring better lubrication and engine protection when the car starts again.

How far can a run-flat tire drive when it's flat?

According to different brands, the distance may vary. Generally, at a speed not exceeding 80KM/H, it can drive about 80 kilometers. The following is a detailed introduction about run-flat tires: 1. Definition: The scientific name of run-flat tires is "Run-flat System Component", abbreviated as RSC. It usually consists of an outer tire, a common inner tube, a spare inner tube, a steel rim, a gas generator (or gas storage chamber), a pressure sensor, and a control unit. 2. Working principle: The reason why run-flat tires do not collapse after losing air is mainly due to the thickened rubber sidewall. Even if the air pressure is lost, the sidewall can still support the weight of the vehicle without causing severe deformation. Therefore, a flat tire does not seriously affect the vehicle's driving, and the owner may not even feel it.

What Are the Types of Automotive Sensors?

Here are the types of automotive sensors: 1. Throttle Position Sensor; The throttle position sensor is installed on the throttle to detect the throttle opening. 2. Intake Pressure Sensor; The intake pressure sensor can measure the absolute pressure in the intake manifold based on the engine's load condition and convert it into an electrical signal, which is sent to the computer along with the speed signal as the basis for determining the basic fuel injection amount. 3. Crankshaft Position Sensor; The crankshaft angle sensor is the most important sensor in a computer-controlled ignition system. Its function is to detect top dead center signals, crankshaft angle signals, and engine speed signals, and input them into the computer, enabling the computer to issue the optimal ignition timing command according to the cylinder's firing order. 4. Air Flow Sensor; The air flow sensor converts the inhaled air into an electrical signal and sends it to the electronic control unit (ECU) as one of the basic signals for determining fuel injection. 5. Knock Sensor; The knock sensor is installed on the engine block to continuously monitor the engine's knock condition. 6. Temperature Sensor; 7. Engine Speed Sensor; 8. Vehicle Speed Sensor (SPD), etc.

Is Steering Wheel Shift Practical?

Steering wheel shift is not practical. The functions of the steering wheel are: to convert the force applied by the driver on the edge of the steering wheel into torque and transmit it to the steering shaft, thereby achieving the purpose of changing the vehicle's direction. Steering wheels are categorized into: single-spoke steering wheels, dual-spoke steering wheels, triple-spoke steering wheels, and quad-spoke steering wheels. Precautions for using the steering wheel: 1. Control the steering wheel by pushing with the left hand and pulling with the right hand in a smooth and gentle motion; 2. When holding the steering wheel, use your hands to support it to reduce bad driving habits; 3. When turning the steering wheel, apply more turns for more correction, fewer turns for less correction, and quick turns for quick correction. When returning the steering wheel, do it swiftly and accurately.
