When buying a car in installments, the following points should be noted: 1. Interest-free car loans do not mean no handling fees: Nowadays, many dealers offer interest-free car loans to attract consumers to buy their cars, but in reality, this is not the case. Although they appear to offer interest-free loans, they actually charge handling fees, which are almost equivalent to the interest. It is not truly interest-free as they claim. 2. Negotiate a cancellation agreement before applying for a mortgage: When buying a car in installments, consumers may encounter situations where the approval process is slower than usual or the funding is delayed. When signing the contract, it is essential to pay attention to the details of the refund method, date, and amount, which are usually specified in the agreement. Consumers should read these terms carefully.

What does 'normal' mean in a car?

In-car 'normal' refers to the standard driving mode. Below is additional information: 1. 'NORMAL' mode: Achieves the optimal balance between fuel economy, quietness, and power performance. Suitable for urban driving. 2. 'SPORT' mode: Controls the transmission and engine for quick, powerful acceleration. This mode also alters steering feel, making it suitable for situations requiring agile driving responses, such as on winding roads. When sport mode is selected, the 'SPORT' indicator on the multi-information display will illuminate. 3. 'ECO' mode: Helps drivers accelerate in an environmentally friendly manner and improves fuel economy through moderate throttle characteristics and control of the air conditioning system operation (heating/cooling). When eco mode is selected, the 'ECOMODE' indicator on the multi-information display lights up. When the air conditioning is in use, the system automatically switches to air conditioning eco mode for better fuel economy.

What is a Differential Lock?

Differential lock is a locking mechanism installed on the central differential, used in four-wheel-drive vehicles. Its purpose is to enhance the vehicle's off-road capability on poor road surfaces. When one of the vehicle's drive axles loses traction, the differential lock can quickly lock the differential, turning the two drive axles into a rigid connection. This allows most or even all of the torque to be transferred to the non-slipping drive axle, fully utilizing its traction to generate sufficient driving force and enabling the vehicle to continue moving. Different types of differentials employ various locking methods. Currently, common differential lock mechanisms include: forced locking, high-friction self-locking, dog clutch, Torsen, and viscous coupling.

What is the standard data for the intake air temperature sensor?

Under normal conditions, when the temperature is 20°C, the resistance value is approximately 2-3 kiloohms; at 80°C, the resistance value is about 0.4-0.7 kiloohms. If the measurement results do not meet the specified requirements, the sensor should be replaced. When the intake air temperature sensor installed inside the mass air flow sensor is damaged, the mass air flow sensor should be replaced. Below is additional information about the intake air temperature sensor: 1. Function: The intake air temperature sensor is essentially a negative temperature coefficient thermistor, whose role is to transmit the intake air temperature to the ECU in the form of a voltage signal, which the ECU can then use as a correction signal for fuel injection and ignition. 2. Location: The intake air temperature sensor is generally installed in the intake pipe or inside the mass air flow meter. 3. Damage hazards: When the engine's intake air temperature sensor is damaged, the ECU not only cannot accurately use it as a correction signal for fuel injection and ignition but may also receive incorrect information, leading to issues such as difficulty starting the engine, unstable idle speed, and increased tailpipe emissions pollution.
