Automotive suspensions can be categorized into three types: independent suspension, non-independent suspension, and semi-independent suspension. The differences among them are as follows: 1. Independent suspension means that each wheel on either side is individually mounted to the frame or body via an elastic suspension system; 2. Non-independent suspension involves both wheels on either side being connected by a solid axle, with the wheels and axle together mounted to the frame or body via an elastic suspension system; 3. Semi-independent suspension adds a stabilizer bar to the torsion beam non-independent suspension to allow the wheels to tilt and maintain vehicle stability. The suspension is the general term for all force-transmitting connection devices between the vehicle's frame and the axle or wheels.

When the car veers to the left, which way should the steering wheel be turned?

When moving forward and the car veers to the left, to straighten the body, the steering wheel should be turned to the right; when reversing and the rear of the car veers to the left, to straighten, the steering wheel should also be turned to the right. Here are some related introductions about the steering wheel: Correct operation of the steering wheel: If the steering wheel is viewed as a clock face, the correct hand position is with the left hand between the 9 and 10 o'clock positions and the right hand between the 3 and 4 o'clock positions. In the event of a collision, this posture is more conducive to supporting the body. Driving techniques: The principle of steering wheel operation is "the higher the speed, the smaller the correction amplitude of the steering wheel should be." This driving posture, with both elbows hanging naturally at the waist and the forearms extended naturally, is the most ergonomic and least fatiguing. In some high-end car designs, many control buttons for features like cruise control and audio are placed between the left and right thumbs at the 8:20 positions on the steering wheel, which is a very user-friendly design that makes operation extremely convenient and effortless.

What is the fuel consumption of the Great Wall Tank 300?

The fuel consumption of the Great Wall Tank 300 is approximately 11-14L per 100 kilometers. The actual fuel consumption may vary slightly depending on individual driving habits and techniques. A smoother driving style generally results in lower fuel consumption, while aggressive driving habits such as frequent high-revving operations like rapid acceleration and overtaking will appropriately increase fuel consumption. Below 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. If the cooling effect is poor, the system will increase fan speed and lower temperature to achieve a cooler effect. 2. Avoid frequent hard braking: Frequent hard braking is a major factor leading to high fuel consumption. While ensuring safe driving, make full use of the vehicle's inertia. 3. Avoid excessive use of air conditioning in small-displacement vehicles: For vehicles exposed to the sun, it is not advisable to turn on the air conditioning immediately after entering. 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 down moderately before turning on the air conditioning.

Where to Add Antifreeze?

Antifreeze should be added to the antifreeze reservoir under the hood. The common method is: open the filling port and then open the drain valve, then add antifreeze. Once new antifreeze starts flowing out of the drain valve, tighten it. Start the engine when the antifreeze reservoir reaches the marked level, and the antifreeze level will gradually drop. Keep adding until it stabilizes. The full name of antifreeze should be antifreeze coolant, meaning it is a coolant with antifreeze properties. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold winter conditions, which could crack the radiator or damage the engine block or cylinder head. Many people think antifreeze is only used in winter, but in fact, it should be used all year round.

What are the reasons for a car generator not generating electricity?

The reasons for a car generator not generating electricity: 1. The residual magnetism of the generator core disappears or is too weak. Newly installed units may lose residual magnetism due to long-distance transportation vibration or prolonged storage; 2. Incorrect wiring of the excitation circuit. During generator maintenance, careless reversal of the excitation winding polarity may cause the magnetic field generated by the excitation current to counteract the residual magnetism, leading to its disappearance; 3. Open circuit in the excitation circuit. Poor electrical contact in the generator excitation circuit, loose connections, or broken wires can interrupt the circuit, resulting in no excitation current in the AC generator excitation winding; 4. Interruption in the DC side circuit of the rotating rectifier.

Can Perfume Explode in a Car?

Perfume can explode in a car. The components of perfume contain alcohol, which is flammable and volatile. If the perfume bottle has a convex lens-like shape, the focused light it produces may ignite the alcohol inside, leading to an explosion. When the temperature inside the car is too high, the gas generated inside the perfume bottle can rupture the bottle, also causing an explosion. Currently, the main components of perfumes on the market include fragrance and alcohol, with alcohol content typically ranging from 40% to 80%. As long as there is alcohol, there is a risk of flammability. The explosion of car perfumes is not only related to the composition of the perfume itself but also to the quality of the perfume bottle. When purchasing, it is recommended to choose high-quality car perfumes.

Why Can't the Car Be Locked?

The reasons why a car cannot be locked: 1. First, check whether the locking mechanism is functioning. If there is no action, it is likely due to poor contact in the central control system wiring; 2. If there is action, it may be due to high resistance in the locking mechanism, which is usually caused by rust; 3. The motor latch position of the door lock has shifted, and this can be resolved by adjusting it at a repair shop. Central locking is designed to enhance convenience and safety by centrally controlling the locking and unlocking of all four doors. The working principle of central locking involves converting electrical energy into mechanical energy, using a motor to drive gears for opening and closing the doors. The basic components of central locking include the door lock switch, door lock actuator, and door lock controller.
