Knob-style gear shifting has the following safety hazards: 1. The operation is not intuitive or convenient. 2. It is prone to misoperation or incorrect gear engagement, which can pose life-threatening risks. 3. It does not automatically shift into P (Park) or engage the parking gear when the engine is turned off or the door is opened. Below is additional information: 1. From an OEM product perspective: Knob mechanisms are compact, have simple surface treatments, and are low-cost. They also have a high level of maturity in design and easily coordinate with the interior. 2. From a user perspective: They require minimal hand operation space, as they can be operated with just the fingers without needing forearm movement, and the operation force required is light.

What is the suspension of the Volkswagen Passat?

Passat front is MacPherson, rear is multi-link independent suspension. The material is iron casting. Passat suspension has the following advantages: 1. MacPherson structure is simple, under the geometry of swing arm and pillar, it can automatically adjust the wheel camber angle, allowing it to adapt to the road surface when cornering, maximizing tire contact area. 2. Multi-link suspension, through various link configurations (three-link, four-link, five-link), achieves all the performance of double wishbone suspension. Based on double wishbone, the connection of links and axle constraints allows the toe angle to change accordingly when the tire moves up and down, providing better cornering adaptability.

What is the principle of the ABS system?

The principle of the ABS system is: during braking, the ABS quickly determines the wheel lock-up state based on the speed signals from each wheel speed sensor, closes the normally open input solenoid valve on the wheel that is beginning to lock, and keeps the braking force constant. If the wheel continues to lock, the normally closed output solenoid valve is opened, and the braking pressure on that wheel rapidly decreases due to the direct connection to the brake fluid reservoir, preventing the wheel from completely locking due to excessive braking force. The functions of ABS are: 1. Maximize the effectiveness of the brakes, reducing braking time and distance; 2. Effectively prevent vehicle skidding and fishtailing during emergency braking, ensuring good driving stability; 3. Allow steering during emergency braking, providing good steering control; 4. Avoid severe friction between the tires and the ground, reducing tire wear.
