EV stands for pure electric vehicle, and DM stands for plug-in hybrid vehicle. DM is the abbreviation of Dual Mode, representing two power modes of the vehicle. Plug-in hybrid vehicles, like pure electric vehicles, use green license plates. The following is a detailed introduction to the differences between EV and DM: 1. Power source: EV is essentially a pure electric vehicle, while DM is a plug-in hybrid vehicle. EV can only be replenished by charging, while DM can switch between fuel and electric modes. 2. Appearance: In terms of front face design, the EV series and DM series adopt a closed grille and horizontal bar grille, respectively. 3. Performance: The EV series innovatively uses lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide batteries, with ultra-large battery capacity and ultra-high battery density, achieving a comprehensive range of 420km, which is excellent in terms of range; the DM series is a plug-in hybrid, capable of breaking 100km acceleration in 5.9s. At the same time, the DM series has also added a new BSG motor in the third-generation hybrid platform, and the driving mode that combines fuel and electricity can minimize fuel consumption to the greatest extent.

Where is the rear seat seatbelt buckle located?

Car rear seat belt buckles are typically located on the inner side of the seats. If you cannot find them, it may be because aftermarket seat covers have obscured them, or they were not properly pulled out during disassembly and got pressed underneath the seats. Additional information: 1. Rear seat belt usage: The rear seat belt buckles should not be pulled out unless absolutely necessary, as they serve to protect passengers' safety, especially when driving on highways where rear passengers must also wear seatbelts. 2. Function of seatbelts: Seatbelts are the sole safety guarantee for drivers and represent an active safety system. They can be life-saving in critical moments. Even when a car is moving at relatively low speeds, in the event of a collision or emergency braking, the resulting inertial force, though relatively small, is still sufficient to prevent drivers and passengers from controlling their bodies, leading to collisions with hard components like the steering wheel or windshield, which can cause bodily harm.

What to Do When the Right-Angle Turn Signal Turns Off?

If the right-angle turn signal turns off, you should quickly turn it on again. If you fail to do so, points will be deducted.

To turn it off, steer left for one full turn, then quickly straighten the wheel—this will automatically turn off the signal, so there’s no need to worry about switching to the right turn signal. Below is an introduction to the four driving test subjects: 1. Subject 1: Also known as the theoretical test or driver’s theory exam, it is part of the motor vehicle driver’s license assessment. 2.

What material is the original spark plug of the Sylphy Classic?

The original spark plug of the Sylphy Classic is an NGK platinum spark plug with a lifespan of approximately 40,000 kilometers. Under normal maintenance conditions, car spark plugs should be replaced after 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers of driving. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine, so it is recommended to follow the user manual. The following standards can be referenced for maintenance and replacement: platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Steps for replacing spark plugs: Open the engine hood, lift the plastic cover of the engine, and remove the high-voltage distributor wires. Mark the position of each cylinder to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. When removing them, check for external debris such as leaves or dust and ensure they are thoroughly cleaned. Place the new spark plug into the spark plug hole, hand-tighten it a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten it further. Reinstall the removed high-voltage distributor wires according to the firing order and secure the cover.
