The functions of a flywheel include the following three points: 1. Energy storage and speed stabilization: The flywheel uses its own moment of inertia to store part of the work input to the crankshaft during the power stroke, which is used to overcome resistance in other strokes, drive the crank-link mechanism past the top and bottom dead centers, ensure the crankshaft's rotational angular velocity and output torque are as uniform as possible, and enable the engine to overcome short-term overloads. 2. Driving the wheels: The driving component is the driving part of the friction clutch that engages and disengages the clutch. Its function is to transmit the engine's rotational force to the driving wheels through the transmission. 3. Starting the engine: A flywheel ring gear is mounted on the outer edge of the flywheel, which meshes with the drive gear of the starter motor to start the engine.

What is the fuel consumption of the Magotan 2.0?

Magotan 2.0 fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the comprehensive fuel consumption is 6.7L/100KM. The fuel consumption of a car varies slightly depending on each person's driving habits and skills. More stable driving habits result in lower fuel consumption, while aggressive driving, frequent overtaking, and other high-RPM operations will appropriately increase fuel consumption. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Check the air conditioning system in summer: Air conditioning malfunctions are a significant cause of high fuel consumption. Poor cooling performance will lead to increased fan speed and lower temperature settings to achieve a cooling effect. 2. Frequent hard braking: Frequent hard braking is a major reason for persistently high fuel consumption. While ensuring safe driving, make full use of the vehicle's inertia. 3. Avoid excessive air conditioning in small-displacement vehicles: For vehicles exposed to the sun, it is not advisable to turn on the air conditioning immediately after getting in. First, open the windows and set the fan to a higher speed without turning on the air conditioning to expel the hot air inside. Wait until the vehicle has cooled moderately before turning on the air conditioning.

What is the appropriate tire pressure in summer?

In summer, the normal tire pressure for cars ranges between 2.3-2.5. If the car is fully loaded with 5 passengers, it's more suitable to adjust the tire pressure to around 2.5; for general use with two passengers, a tire pressure of 2.3 is normal. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Tire maintenance: Proper tire pressure is the most important aspect of tire maintenance. The standard tire pressure depends on the vehicle it's installed on, which is the pressure indicated on the vehicle's door or fuel tank cap. This is the standard value determined by the vehicle manufacturer during design and manufacturing to achieve optimal performance, generally allowing a difference within 10%. If it's below the standard value by more than 10%, it's considered underinflated; if it's below the standard value by 20%, you should visit a professional shop as soon as possible to check for any damage or air leakage. 2. Consequences of abnormal tire pressure: Overinflated tires reduce the contact area with the ground, increasing the pressure and wear per unit area, which can easily lead to loss of braking control, bursting when encountering ground protrusions or depressions, damaging the vehicle's suspension system, and causing discomfort during rides. Underinflated tires increase the contact area with the ground, causing abnormal increases in tire temperature during driving. Additionally, severe deformation of the tire side accelerates the aging of internal steel wires and fabric layers, creating hidden dangers for tire bursts, increasing fuel consumption, and reducing tire lifespan.

Can the New Lavida Have Its Central Control Screen Replaced?

The new Lavida can have its central control screen replaced. The central control screen generally refers to the navigation system on the central console. The central console is the control panel located to the right of the steering wheel, in the middle of the cockpit, and it houses most of the car's control buttons apart from driving. Any central console with a CD player can have its navigation system replaced. Here is an introduction to the central control screen navigation: 1. Function of Navigation: Modern car navigation systems no longer serve only navigation purposes; they also include multimedia playback, 3G internet access, radio, games, e-book reading, digital TV, and more. 2. Adding Navigation: For new cars, it is not recommended to add a navigation system because many smartphones now come with navigation features (the new Lavida's phone holder is designed for this purpose). Installing an aftermarket navigation system may require modifying the wiring, which could affect the vehicle's warranty and lead to unnecessary complications.

What are the reasons for the sudden blackout of the car display?

There are three main reasons for the in-car display not lighting up, as detailed below: 1. Abnormal power supply: First, check whether the power supply to the display screen is normal. If the power supply is abnormal, replace the power supply module; 2. Poor contact of the cable: Check whether the cable connection is secure. If there is a problem, replace the cable; 3. Display screen damage: Check whether the display screen is damaged. Replace the display screen for testing. If it returns to normal, the display screen is damaged. If the issue persists, with normal power supply and good cable contact, check the video output signal of the motherboard and replace the motherboard for testing. Most cases of the display not lighting up are due to host issues. Additional information: Below are simple steps to address host issues: 1. Open the case, take a used brush (such as a toothbrush or dust brush), remove the memory and graphics card, and clean them carefully; 2. Wipe the gold fingers of the memory and graphics card with your fingers, remove the motherboard battery to discharge, then reinstall it; 3. If it still doesn't light up, observe the color of the display's indicator light. A yellow light indicates no signal, which can basically confirm a host issue, and you should take it to a repair shop for servicing.

Does the Implementation of China VI Affect Used Cars?

There will be certain impacts. The extent of the impact largely depends on the city. After the implementation of the China VI policy, cities across the country will be divided into three categories. Among them, first-tier cities where both emission standards and used car relocation standards have been upgraded to China VI will be the most severely affected. In these cities, local used cars can be relocated out, while the relocation of used cars from other regions will face many restrictions, which will significantly impact the circulation and transactions of China IV and China V vehicles. Below is some relevant information: 1. China VI: Refers to the National Sixth Stage Emission Standards for Motor Vehicle Pollutants, implemented from July 1, 2020. 2. Vehicle Emission Standards: These are established to enforce environmental protection laws, reduce and prevent vehicle exhaust pollution, protect the ecological environment, and ensure human health. The implementation of the China VI standards will impose stricter requirements on pollutants such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons.
