ADS on a car refers to the Adjustable Damping System, which is a type of adjustable shock absorber. This system allows the driver to adjust the stiffness of the shock absorbers based on personal preference, road conditions, and usage scenarios to meet different needs. For example, when the driver wants to enjoy the thrill of driving, they can choose a stiffer mode for a sporty driving experience, or opt for a softer mode for a more comfortable ride. ADS works by varying the damping force of the shock absorbers—providing higher damping force in stiffer modes to enhance stability during aggressive driving, and lower damping force in softer modes for a smoother and more comfortable ride.

Oh, I guess you might be referring to the ADS-related systems in cars? Actually, it's more likely to be ADAS, which stands for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. It includes features like adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking, making driving more effortless. For example, I often drive long distances, and adaptive cruise control helps with automatic following, reducing fatigue; blind spot monitoring alerts me when changing lanes, avoiding collisions. These systems rely on sensors and cameras—simply put, it's like the car's brain helping you watch the road. However, regular maintenance is essential to prevent failures in rainy or low-light conditions. Remember to check the manual or have a technician set it up, especially for new drivers—it's like having an extra pair of eyes, adding to safety!

Deduction of 3 points: Driving a motor vehicle on the road without undergoing the required regular safety technical inspection; driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, or hazardous material transport vehicles on roads other than highways or urban expressways, or driving other motor vehicles at speeds exceeding the limit by less than 20%; driving a truck with a load exceeding the approved weight by less than 30%; driving a motor vehicle on a highway below the minimum speed limit; driving a motor vehicle prohibited from entering highways onto a highway; driving a motor vehicle on a highway or urban expressway without following the designated lane; driving a motor vehicle through a crosswalk without properly slowing down, stopping, or yielding to pedestrians; driving a motor vehicle in violation of prohibition signs or markings; carrying passengers in a non-public bus or school vehicle beyond the approved capacity by less than 20%; improperly towing a trailer with a motor vehicle; failure to use lights or set up warning signs as required after a vehicle breakdown or accident on the road; improper overtaking, yielding, or driving in the opposite direction while operating a motor vehicle.

Does the Audi A4L have a particulate filter?

Audi A4L-45TFSI version does not have a particulate filter. All other models of the Audi A4L are equipped with particulate filters to meet the China VI emission standards. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine emission system, which captures particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. It can reduce soot produced by diesel engines by more than 90%, and the captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. How the particulate filter works: The diesel particulate filter is coated with platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the engine exhaust particulate trap through a dedicated pipe. After passing through the densely arranged bag filters inside, the carbon particles are adsorbed onto the filter made of metal fiber felt. When the adsorption of particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites and burns, turning the adsorbed carbon particles into harmless carbon dioxide that is then expelled. To check whether the Audi A4L has a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: Check the and to see if there is a particulate filter function. Additionally, you can carefully check the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "particulate filter" warning light indicator. Check the label on the oil cap. If the oil cap clearly indicates 0W-20 grade oil, it means the vehicle is equipped with a particulate filter. Check whether there is a cylindrical section on the exhaust pipe behind the three-way catalytic converter. If there is, that is the particulate filter.

How to Distinguish Engine Oil Grades?

Methods to distinguish oil grades: 1. Oil grades are classified according to quality grades and viscosity grades. Oil for gasoline engines is usually represented by the letter "S", while oil for diesel engines is usually represented by the letter "C"; 2. Engine oil is composed of base oil and additives, where the base oil is the main component of the lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, and additives can improve the shortcomings of the base oil; 3. The specifications of the "S" series include: SA, SB, SC, SD, SE, SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL; 4. The specifications of the "C" series include: CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CF, CF-2, CF-4, CG-4, CH-4, CI-4; 5. Generally, as the letters increase, the oil grade becomes higher. When both letters appear, it indicates that the oil is universal and can be used for both gasoline and diesel engines; 6. For viscosity, the SAE standard is often used, for example: 10W-40. The "W" stands for winter, and the number before the letter represents the fluidity of the oil. The smaller the number, the better the fluidity.
