Detecting cylinder pressure, detecting engine vibration, and detecting cylinder temperature. Here is the relevant information: 1. Knock: Knock, commonly known as piston slap or pinging. Knock is an abnormal combustion phenomenon that occurs during the engine combustion process. Simply put, "knock" is an abnormal combustion phenomenon in the engine. Knock is caused by abnormal combustion leading to abnormal pressure in the combustion chamber. When knock occurs, the engine produces a knocking sound. 2. Installation location: The knock sensor is placed in different positions on the engine block or cylinder. When vibration or piston slap occurs, it generates a small voltage peak; the greater the piston slap or vibration, the larger the peak voltage produced by the knock sensor. A certain high frequency indicates knock or piston slap. Knock sensors are usually designed to measure frequencies in the range of 5 to 15 kHz.

What is the slowest speed allowed on national highways?

National highways are mixed-use roads with only maximum speed limits, not minimum speed limits. Most national highways starting with 'S' currently have a speed limit of 80, and many are set at 60. As long as you do not exceed 80, you generally won't encounter any issues. Please follow the speed limit signs posted on the road. Below is an introduction to tire speed ratings: 1. The further back the letter representing the tire speed rating is in the alphabet, the better the tire's performance and the higher its price: Tires with different speed ratings have different applicable ranges. P—T grade tires (maximum speed 150—190 km/h) are suitable for small and compact cars, U—V grade tires (maximum speed 200—240 km/h) are suitable for mid-to-high-end cars, and the highest-performing W—Z tires, which can withstand speeds between 240—300 km/h, are typically used in large luxury cars and supercars. 2. The higher the speed rating, the better the tire's heat resistance: This is because the tire must withstand the heat generated by itself and the external environment when operating at its maximum speed rating. From the perspective of tire design and material requirements, under normal circumstances, for tires of the same brand and size, the higher the load index and speed rating, the better the performance and the higher the price.

Why Does an Automatic Transmission Car Have Jerking Sensation at Low Speed?

Automatic transmissions may exhibit slight jerking sensations during gear shifts at low speeds, which is related to shift timing judgment. Generally, maintaining steady throttle input and relatively linear acceleration and speed conditions allows the transmission to achieve optimal shift performance. If the throttle is either too light or too heavy, some degree of shift sensation may be noticeable. Additionally, issues with transmission fluid, shift valves, solenoids, etc., can also cause this phenomenon. Below is an introduction to vehicle maintenance: 1. Introduction to Vehicle Maintenance: Vehicle maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of a vehicle, also known as vehicle servicing. 2. Scope of Vehicle Maintenance: Modern vehicle maintenance primarily includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and more. 3. Purpose of Vehicle Maintenance: The goal of vehicle maintenance is to maintain a clean appearance, normal technical conditions, eliminate potential issues, prevent faults, slow down deterioration, and extend the service life.

How to Identify Genuine Engine Oil?

There are many methods to identify genuine engine oil. The following is a detailed analysis and introduction: 1. Check the anti-counterfeiting code: Look at the anti-counterfeiting code on the barrel. The anti-counterfeiting code on genuine engine oil barrels is very clear. Fake engine oil may not have an anti-counterfeiting code, and even if it does, it is likely to be blurry and easy to rub off. 2. Check the oil cap: The outer edge of a genuine oil cap is usually neat and flat, and the sealing cap is a one-time cap. If the oil cap is rough and there is no "pull-tab" seal at the opening, but instead it can be directly twisted open, it is likely to be refilled oil. 3. Check the material and workmanship of the oil barrel: Genuine products have complete material and workmanship with clear printing, while counterfeit products often have burrs and feel uneven to the touch. 4. Smell the odor and feel the viscosity: Genuine oil has a light smell, with a slight fragrance like crystal wax; fake oil has a strong and irritating odor. For oils of the same viscosity grade, the viscosity feels low at room temperature, while inferior oil feels sticky and may exhibit a stringy phenomenon when touched by hand.

How to Place Your Feet on the Brake and Accelerator?

The accelerator and brake pedals are located below the left side of the driver's compartment, with the brake in the middle and the accelerator on the far right. Below is additional information about the accelerator and brake: 1. Accelerator: The accelerator pedal, also known as the gas pedal, is part of the car's fuel supply system. By controlling the amount of pressure applied, it regulates the throttle opening of the engine, controlling the air intake, while the computer manages the fuel supply, thereby adjusting the engine's speed. 2. Brake: The brake pedal, as the name suggests, is the pedal that limits power, specifically the foot brake (service brake) pedal. It is used to decelerate and stop the vehicle. The brake pedal is one of the five major controls in car operation and is used very frequently. How the driver operates it directly affects driving safety. Brake pedal operations include: gradual braking (predictive braking), emergency braking, combined braking, and intermittent braking.

What are the penalties for riding a motorcycle without a vehicle license?

Riding a motorcycle without a vehicle license but with a driver's license will result in a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. According to Article 90 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": If a motor vehicle driver violates the road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road traffic regulations, they shall be given a warning or fined between 20 and 200 yuan. If there are other provisions in this law, the penalties shall be imposed in accordance with those provisions. Below is an introduction to the driver's license: 1. Introduction to the driver's license: The driver's license is the abbreviated form of the motor vehicle driver's license, also known as a "driving license." According to the law, it is a certificate that motor vehicle drivers need to apply for. 2. The driver's license is a "license": Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. Without these skills, driving a motor vehicle recklessly may lead to traffic accidents. Drivers without a license are not allowed to drive on the road. However, for those who have mastered safe driving techniques, the document that permits them to drive vehicles on the road is the "driver's license." This indicates that the driver's license is a "license." 3. Definition of the driver's license: Internationally, the driver's license is defined as: "A document issued by the competent authority permitting the holder to drive a motor vehicle." In China, the driver's license is defined as: "The motor vehicle driver's license refers to the legal certificate issued by the administrative department after a person who is legally allowed to learn to drive a motor vehicle has studied, mastered the knowledge of traffic regulations and driving skills, and passed the examination, permitting them to drive a certain type of motor vehicle."
