What Chassis Does the Equinox Use?

4 Answers

The Equinox chassis is built on the GM D2UX platform, with a height of approximately 17cm when fully loaded and about 20cm when unloaded. The chassis refers to the combination of the transmission system, running gear, steering system, and braking system in a vehicle. It supports and installs the car's engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the vehicle, bearing the engine's power, and ensuring normal operation. Here are some methods for chassis maintenance: 1. Regularly check the oil levels of each assembly: This includes the transmission, braking system, power steering system, etc. On one hand, strictly follow the time intervals specified in the manual to replenish or replace fluids at authorized service stations. On the other hand, perform regular self-checks. Generally, you can inspect these during refueling, checking whether the oil in each reservoir is between the upper and lower marks. If it falls below the lower mark, replenish it promptly. If the oil level drops rapidly, it indicates a system leak, which requires immediate identification and repair. 2. Replace worn brake pads promptly: Brake pads and clutch plates are consumables that wear out over time and lose their original functionality. Failure to replace them promptly can lead to accidents. Most vehicles have corresponding warning indicators that will alert the user when replacement is needed.

The Chevrolet Equinox utilizes General Motors' D2UX platform chassis, which is quite impressive—one of the most advanced architectures in its class. The lightweight design reduces the vehicle's weight by nearly 200 kilograms, making it notably agile and fuel-efficient. It incorporates a significant amount of high-strength steel, enhancing overall rigidity, which noticeably improves cornering support and stability during high-speed lane changes. This chassis also prioritizes safety performance, consistently achieving high scores in crash tests. On regular drives, the suspension effectively absorbs road imperfections—neither overly harsh over speed bumps nor rough patches. The all-wheel-drive version boasts well-balanced front-to-rear weight distribution, delivering handling dynamics that rival sedans.

I've been driving the Equinox for almost three years now, and I'm most impressed with its chassis. The manufacturer really invested in equipping it with the GM D2UX platform, making it both stable and comfortable to drive. During daily commutes, the steering wheel feels light and responsive, with minimal body roll when taking corners. At highway speeds, the chassis stays firmly planted to the road. What satisfies me the most is its performance on bumpy roads—the shock absorbers handle minor vibrations exceptionally well, and even large potholes don't produce alarming thuds. The ground clearance is sufficient, making weekend trips on rural dirt roads no problem at all. During maintenance, the mechanic mentioned that the suspension structure is simple yet reliable, and components like the link bushings are reasonably priced.

The Equinox shares the same D2UX platform as the Buick Envision, offering a rigid yet lightweight chassis. It delivers agile steering in urban driving, making parking and U-turns effortless. Its standout feature is excellent ground clearance of approximately 20cm, easily conquering curbs. The chassis boasts effective noise insulation, with well-controlled tire noise at highway speeds. This platform supports 4WD, providing confidence in snowy conditions. Maintenance is straightforward—routine oil changes and lower arm inspections suffice, while the robust multi-link rear suspension ensures durability.

What system does the highway ETC belong to?

Highway ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) translates to electronic road toll collection, which is a non-stop toll collection system. On highways, there will be one or more ETC lanes. ETC charging method: Through the dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle-mounted RFID tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station, the system uses networking technology to conduct background settlement processing with the bank, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicles passing through bridge and road toll stations without stopping to pay tolls. Banks install this type of ETC express card with a 'pass first, charge later' approach. ETC application conditions are as follows: Provide the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle license. The photocopy of the driving license must include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Credit card application form, which will be used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, swipe it twice and use the POS receipt to collect and install the ETC vehicle-mounted device for free at designated outlets. No fees are charged during this process. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old. The vehicle must be registered under the applicant's name. Below are the precautions for installing ETC: Do not block the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large rearward tilt angle of the windshield, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If ETC installation does not consider this, it will increase the driver's blind spots. Install it on the right side behind the rearview mirror to avoid blocking the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, during installation, avoid the blackened areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it arbitrarily: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle ahead. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 kilometers per hour. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information, leading to failed toll deduction. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance will also cause toll deduction to fail.

What is the passing score for C2 Subject 2 driving test?

The passing score for C2 Subject 2 is 80 points. According to Article 35 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses", the passing standards for each subject test are as follows: the full score for Subject 2 test is 100 points. For large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, and large trucks, a score of 90 is required to pass, while for other vehicle types, a score of 80 is sufficient. The C2 Subject 2 test consists of 4 items: reverse parking, parallel parking, curve driving, and right-angle turns. Compared to the C1 manual transmission test, it excludes the hill start item. According to Article 25 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), starting from June 1, 2021, the hill start and stop item is no longer assessed for C2 and C5 Subject 2 tests. Reverse parking is one of the more challenging items in the Subject 2 test, so many test centers arrange it as the first item. The key to reverse parking includes: the steering wheel turning point, the 30 cm correction point, and the parking point. Drivers must follow the prescribed route and sequence. The vehicle must be parked within the lines without crossing them. Parallel parking focuses on aligning the front line of the parking space with the rear wheels, observing the rear corner in the mirror, and maintaining the distance between the wheels and the left dotted line. There's no need to straighten the wheels after parking, but don't forget to use the turn signal when exiting. The vehicle body must not exceed the lines after parking, and the tires must not touch the lane boundaries during movement. Curve driving, commonly known as the S-curve, is manageable for many students with good driving sense, indicating its moderate difficulty. However, some students misjudge the line positions during the actual test, leading to immediate failure. The key is to observe the position of the hood marker and the edge line. The wheels must not press against the road edge line. Right-angle turns are relatively easier, essentially a simplified version of the exiting part in reverse parking. The method to find the turning point is similar to exiting, based on the relationship between the hood's horizontal line and the front line (just touching or slightly delayed). Ensure the wheels do not touch the road edge line. Typically, the required training hours are 16 for C1 Subject 2 and 14 for C2 Subject 2. Completing the training hours is a basic requirement for taking the Subject 2 test. Hours can only be increased, not reduced, and additional test items require corresponding extra hours. Each training hour is 60 minutes, with effective teaching time no less than 45 minutes. If you fail Subject 2, you can retake it once. If you fail again, the test terminates, and you must reschedule after ten days. If you fail five consecutive test attempts (including retakes, totaling 10 attempts), all previously passed subjects will be invalidated, and you must start over from Subject 1.

Is it possible to run a red light without being caught?

If there are cameras, they will take photos. Whether it's running a red light while turning left or going straight, it is considered a violation of traffic laws. According to Article 38 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law," vehicles must follow traffic signals, including traffic lights, signs, markings, and the directions of traffic police. If both the left-turn and straight signals are green, going straight from the left-turn lane is not allowed. When the left-turn signal is red, running the red light should be penalized. Here are some ways to avoid running a red light: Check the arrow light first, then the round light: There are two types of traffic lights: arrow signals and round signals. If arrow signals are present, check them first before looking at the round light to avoid running a red light. Note: When encountering a round red light, right turns are allowed. However, if the right-turn arrow signal is red, right turns are prohibited, or it will be penalized as running a red light. Brake in time: When the red light turns on, do not let the front of the vehicle cross the stop line. If the front wheels accidentally cross, and the rear wheels follow, the electronic camera will capture it, resulting in a penalty for running a red light. If the front wheels have just crossed the stop line when the light turns red, do not proceed through the intersection; wait for the green light. Check the green light countdown before proceeding: When the green light flashes, if there is a countdown, use it to judge. If there is no countdown, and the vehicle is close to the intersection with high speed, it may proceed to avoid running the red light due to late braking. If the speed is slow and the vehicle is far from the intersection, brake immediately to avoid running the red light. Article 38 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states: When the green light is on, vehicles are permitted to proceed, but turning vehicles must not obstruct straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians. When the yellow light is on, vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue. When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding. At intersections without non-motor vehicle or pedestrian signals, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians must follow the motor vehicle signals. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles may proceed if they do not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians. Running a red light is not penalized under the following circumstances: Yielding to emergency vehicles: Yielding to ambulances, fire trucks, or other emergency vehicles. If caught by surveillance cameras while yielding, manual review will not record the violation. Even if recorded, you can apply for reconsideration with the traffic police department. Extreme weather: When visibility is extremely low, and even electronic police cannot clearly see the traffic lights. Blurred evidence photos may result in no penalty for mistakenly running a red light. Emergency situations: When rushing a critically ill patient to the hospital, running multiple red lights may occur. After delivering the patient, obtain proof from the hospital or the rescued person and verify it with the traffic police to clear the violation records. If possible, call an ambulance to avoid accidents caused by running red lights. Traffic police direction: During peak hours, traffic police may temporarily direct traffic at key intersections. Drivers must follow their hand signals. The traffic police department states that according to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," vehicles that have already crossed the stop line when the yellow light flashes may continue. If the yellow light is already on and the vehicle speeds through, it will be considered running a red light if caught.
