225 indicates the width of the tire tread; 55 represents the aspect ratio of the tire, commonly understood as the thickness of the tire sidewall, calculated by multiplying the tread width by the aspect ratio; 17 is the size of the rim that the tire fits, with 17 meaning a 17-inch rim. The ZR in the tire specification 225/55ZR17 is a combined term, indicating that the tire's maximum applicable speed exceeds 240 km/h. Additional information: The wider the tire, the larger the contact area. Given the same tread pattern and material, a wider tire will provide better grip and traction when driving in a straight line.

Why can't the left rear door of the Audi A6L be opened from the outside?

The main issue is due to the aging of the motor inside the door lock assembly, which results in insufficient power, causing the linkage lock pin of the unlocking motor to fail to pop out. As a result, the outside door handle is pulled in vain without engaging in the unlocking process. Extended information about the Audi A6L is as follows: 1. Overview: The Audi A6 is a luxury car produced by Audi, available in both sedan and station wagon variants. The Audi A6 incorporates Audi's exclusive high-tech technologies, further enriched with luxurious configurations, and endowed with superior sporty characteristics. Its features include luxury, dynamism, and sophistication. 2. Product Performance: The Audi A6L is a domestically produced high-tech luxury business car introduced by FAW-Volkswagen. It integrates Audi's most advanced global high-tech exclusive technologies, further enhancing its luxurious configurations and granting it exceptional sporty characteristics. From design to performance, it embodies perfect quality in every aspect.

What is a car chassis composed of?

An automobile chassis consists of four major systems: the transmission system, the running gear system, the steering system, and the braking system. The function of the car chassis is to receive power from the engine, enable the vehicle to move, and ensure that the car can operate normally according to the driver's control. The roles of each component of the car chassis are as follows: 1. Transmission system. The function of the transmission system is to transmit the engine's power to the driving wheels. Different vehicles may have slight variations in the composition of their chassis. 2. Running gear system. The running gear system supports and installs various components and assemblies of the vehicle, transmitting and bearing various loads from both the vehicle body and the ground to ensure normal operation. It mainly consists of the frame (body), axles, suspension, and wheels. 3. Steering system. The steering system ensures that the car can move in the direction selected by the driver. It primarily includes the steering control mechanism, steering gear, and steering linkage. 4. Braking system. The braking system enables the car to decelerate, stop, and remain reliably parked. The automobile braking system generally includes two independent braking systems: the service brake system and the parking brake system. Each braking system consists of brakes and brake transmission mechanisms.

How to Reset Mercedes-Benz Tire Pressure?

Mercedes-Benz tire pressure reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button. After hearing a "ding" sound, release the button. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the dashboard warning light will turn off, indicating the tire pressure reset is complete. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Abnormal tire pressure: The system usually alerts when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure reset is not performed promptly, the tire pressure monitoring system will still record the old data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to light up. Simply perform a tire pressure reset to resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is directly installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged during driving, such as being hit or bumped, it can also trigger the tire pressure warning light. For sensor damage issues, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.

How to Replace the Brake Pads on a Volvo XC90?

Here is the method for replacing the brake pads on a Volvo XC90: 1. First, open the engine compartment and check whether the brake fluid level is in the normal position. 2. Use a jack to lift the car, remove the tire first, then use a wrench combined with a socket to remove the bolts of the brake caliper, and then directly take off the brake pads. 3. Install the new brake pads, and the job is done. Of course, the original parts must be reinstalled in the reverse order of removal. Below is some related information about brake pads: 1. Automotive brake pads are generally composed of a steel plate, an adhesive heat insulation layer, and a friction block. The steel plate is coated to prevent rust, and the coating process uses an SMT-4 furnace temperature tracker to detect the temperature distribution during the coating process to ensure quality. 2. The heat insulation layer is made of non-heat-conducting materials, with the purpose of heat insulation. The friction block is composed of friction materials and adhesives. When braking, it is squeezed against the brake disc or brake drum to generate friction, thereby achieving vehicle deceleration and braking.

What is the Principle of the Oil Pressure Sensor?

The principle of the oil pressure sensor is: When the engine is running, the pressure measurement device detects the oil pressure and converts the pressure signal into an electrical signal, which is then sent to the signal processing circuit. After voltage and current amplification, the amplified pressure signal is transmitted via the signal line to the oil pressure gauge. This changes the current ratio passing through the two coils inside the oil pressure gauge, thereby indicating the engine's oil pressure. Here are some related details: 1. The electronic oil pressure sensor consists of a thick-film pressure sensor chip, signal processing circuit, housing, fixed circuit board device, and two leads (signal line and alarm line). The signal processing circuit includes a power supply circuit, sensor compensation circuit, zero-adjustment circuit, voltage amplification circuit, current amplification circuit, filtering circuit, and alarm circuit. 2. The wiring method of the electronic oil pressure sensor is completely consistent with that of traditional mechanical sensors. It can replace mechanical pressure sensors and directly connect to the vehicle's oil pressure gauge and low-pressure warning light, indicating the oil pressure of the diesel engine and providing a low-pressure alarm signal.

How to engage 4WD in Mitsubishi Pajero?

There are three main methods to use the 4WD system in Mitsubishi Pajero: 1. Next to the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport's gear lever, there is a smaller 4WD lever. The options are H2, H4, H4L, and L4L - all modes with the number 4 are 4WD modes. H2 is high-speed 2WD, H4 is high-speed 4WD, H4L is high-speed 4WD with differential lock engaged, and L4L is low-speed 4WD with differential lock engaged. 2. This means only H2 is 2WD mode, while the other three are 4WD modes. Simply shift the small lever to the 4WD position. The three different 4WD modes should be selected based on different road conditions - basically, the more challenging the terrain, the further back the mode you should choose. 3. To engage low-range 4WD (L4L), the vehicle must be stopped, while high-range 4WD can be engaged without stopping and allows free switching between 0-80km/h. The front differential lock doesn't require shifting to neutral, but the vehicle must be stationary to engage it.
