What connects the steering gear and the steering knuckle arm is the steering linkage rod. Below is an introduction to the steering knuckle arm: 1. Introduction: The steering knuckle arm, also known as the trapezoidal arm, is the final force-transmitting component in the steering linkage system. It is mounted on the left and right steering knuckles, with the other end connected to the tie rod via a ball joint. 2. Function: When the vehicle is turning, the driver applies a steering torque to the steering wheel. This torque is transmitted through the steering column, drive shaft, and steering gear, amplified by the steering gear, and then passed to the steering arm. From there, it is transmitted via the steering drag link to the steering knuckle and the steering knuckle arm on the steering knuckle, ultimately reaching the hub to turn the wheels. This illustrates the structural requirements of the steering knuckle arm, which serves to connect the drag link and the hub and enables steering functionality. 3. Precautions: On a solid front axle, the steering knuckle near the steering wheel side has two arms, connected to the longitudinal and transverse tie rods, respectively. The other side of the steering knuckle has only one arm connected via the transverse tie rod.

How to Handle Overdue Inspection for Motorcycles?

Motorcycle owners with overdue inspections must first pay the overdue inspection fine at the traffic management department and then proceed to the vehicle management office or inspection agency to complete the annual inspection. However, if a motorcycle fails to undergo inspection for three consecutive inspection cycles, it will be forcibly scrapped. Below are the specific details: 1. Overdue for less than 3 months: If the inspection is overdue for less than 3 months, simply go to the relevant office to make up for it, and usually, an oral warning will be issued. 2. Overdue for less than 2 years: If the inspection is overdue for more than 3 months but less than 2 years, a small fine will generally be imposed when making up for it. 3. Overdue for more than 2 years: If the inspection is overdue for more than 2 years, the vehicle’s registration will be directly canceled. To reinstate the registration, a fine is usually required. It is recommended to complete the overdue inspection as soon as possible. Once the inspection is overdue, the vehicle owner will bear full responsibility for any accidents involving the vehicle.

Is the fuel consumption of Changan CS85 high?

The fuel consumption of Changan CS85 is relatively high. According to the official data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: the 1.5-liter turbocharged engine has an average fuel consumption of 6.8 liters per 100 kilometers. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine has an average fuel consumption of 8.2 liters per 100 kilometers. In reality, the actual fuel consumption of a car is at least 2 liters per 100 kilometers higher than the figure published by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Here is some extended information: 1. 1.5-liter turbocharged engine: The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 131 kW, a maximum torque of 265 Nm, a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and a maximum torque speed range of 1450 to 4500 rpm. This engine is equipped with direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 2. 2.0-liter turbocharged engine: The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 171 kW, a maximum torque of 360 Nm, a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and a maximum torque speed range of 1750 to 3500 rpm. This engine is equipped with direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and a cast iron block. It is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

How to activate the automatic emergency braking in Toyota Levin?

Levin's automatic emergency braking is enabled by default and can be activated via the multifunction buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. The automatic braking has certain conditions; it must be directly in front, and sudden lane changes by other vehicles may not trigger it. However, in practical use, it is very effective in preventing distractions during high-speed driving. Here is additional information: 1. Working Principle: The automatic emergency braking system operates based on an optical radar system on the front windshield, monitoring the road ahead, especially within six meters. When an obstacle is detected, it will either steer or brake to prevent an accident. However, the current technology is not fully mature, and many experimental cases show that it may not always successfully stop the vehicle in certain situations. Nevertheless, as an auxiliary system, it can still alert the driver to pay attention to the road conditions ahead. 2. Autonomous Driving Features: The all-new Levin achieves Level 2 autonomous driving capabilities through the DRCC, PCS, and LTA systems, making driving safer and more relaxed. The PCS (Pre-Collision System) can accurately identify moving vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists traveling at speeds over 10 km/h during the day. In emergencies, such as sudden pedestrian crossings, vehicles entering the road unexpectedly, or highway safety incidents where braking is not timely, the system will sound an alarm and automatically apply the brakes firmly to minimize the risk of collision.

Should the Volkswagen Lamando use 5W30 or 40 engine oil?

The Volkswagen Lamando uses 5W-40 engine oil. Main differences: 1. Viscosity: 5W-40 has slightly higher viscosity than 5W-30, meaning the 40 grade consumes slightly more fuel. 2. Low-temperature performance: Under low-temperature conditions, although both are suitable for the same ambient temperature range, 5W-30 has significantly better viscosity than 5W-40, meaning 5W-30 offers better low-temperature performance. Choose 5W-30 for winter as it provides better cold-start protection than 5W-40. 3. Stability: Under high-temperature conditions, 5W-40 has better stability. If the vehicle operates for extended periods in high temperatures, 5W-40 is the best choice. However, even in summer, 5W-30's high-temperature characteristics are sufficient. 4. Sealing: Due to differences in sealing performance, new cars and high-end vehicles with good cylinder sealing typically choose 5W-30. For low-end cars and older vehicles with significant engine cylinder wear, which require oil for sealing, it's best to choose 5W-40 or even 5W-50.

Is it a traffic violation for motorcycles to drive in the non-motorized vehicle lane?

Motorcycles driving in the non-motorized vehicle lane is not considered a traffic violation. Motorcycles are a type of motor vehicle. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," motor vehicles should drive in the motor vehicle lane. If there are special circumstances requiring temporary use of another lane, the vehicle must return to the designated lane promptly after completing the maneuver. Therefore, motorcycles can drive in the non-motorized vehicle lane under special circumstances, but they are not normally allowed to do so. Additional information is as follows: 1. Non-motorized vehicle lane: A non-motorized vehicle lane refers to the lane on the right side of the road or urban street, between the sidewalk curb (or line) and the first vehicle lane divider (or barrier or post), or a lane marked on the sidewalk. Except under special circumstances, it is exclusively for non-motorized vehicles. 2. Motor vehicle lane: A motor vehicle lane refers to the lane on the roadway (the part of the road between the curbs on both sides or the paved surface of a highway, exclusively for vehicle traffic) from the first vehicle lane divider on the right side to the centerline (or the geometric centerline if there is no centerline). Except under special circumstances, it is exclusively for motor vehicles.
