In cars, LH and RH represent left and right respectively. Here are more automotive-related terms: 1. 5V: The 'V' stands for the first letter of the English word 'valve'. Traditional car engine cylinders commonly use a 4-valve structure, i.e., 2 intake valves and 2 exhaust valves, ensuring sufficient and effective intake and exhaust, which is beneficial for increasing engine speed to achieve maximum power. The 5-valve technology has been widely adopted by foreign automotive companies, and the recently launched 'Bora' in China already employs this technology, featuring 3 intake valves and 2 exhaust valves. 2. ABS: This is the abbreviation for 'anti-lock-brake-system', translated in Chinese as 'anti-lock braking system'. It is a safety brake control system with advantages such as anti-skid and anti-lock. Cars without ABS may lock the wheels when the driver slams the brakes in an emergency, leading to dangerous situations like skidding, deviation, or loss of steering control due to the vehicle's momentum. 3. GPS: Short for Global Positioning System, its main functions include anti-theft, anti-hijacking, and navigation.

How to Remove Residual Dry Car Wax?

First, use fine polishing wax or gently sand the areas with residual polishing wax using 1500-grit sandpaper. Remove scratches and rough areas on the car paint surface using polishing wax and a polishing machine. After the car surface is sprayed, minor defects such as coarse particles, sandpaper marks, flow marks, whitening, or orange peel may appear on the paint film. Wash the car frequently, as environmental degradation leads to acidic and alkaline substances in the air settling on the car, which can quickly penetrate the paint.

How often should the transmission fluid be changed for a Focus?

Replace every 60,000 kilometers. Transmission fluid is a lubricant that maintains the cleanliness of the gear system, ensuring proper operation of the transmission and extending the lifespan of the drivetrain. Failure to change transmission fluid regularly may lead to the following issues: 1. Deterioration and evaporation under prolonged high-speed/high-temperature operation, accelerating mechanical wear and potentially damaging internal transmission components. 2. Cold-start power loss when accelerating from standstill. 3. Occasional slight slippage during driving. 4. Thickened fluid may clog transmission cooler, causing overheating and accelerated wear.

Just apply a bit of throttle, and upon exiting the curve, the maintained RPM allows for quick acceleration. Aggressive overtaking. A car's torque, also known as rotational force, is the force applied perpendicular to a lever arm of unit length rotating about an axis.
