AFS in cars stands for Adaptive Front-lighting System. Below is a related introduction to AFS: Functions of AFS: It can dynamically adjust the headlights based on the steering wheel angle, vehicle yaw rate, and driving speed to adapt to the current turning angle, ensuring the lighting direction aligns with the car's current driving direction and providing illumination for the road ahead. Forms of AFS system: The swiveling headlight form allows the headlight fixtures to rotate 8 to 15 degrees left and right to illuminate blind spots in curves; using an independent curve lighting system, a fixed bulb inside the fixture lights up the curve automatically when turning; utilizing the left and right fog lights for illumination during curves, with the corresponding inner fog light turning on during a turn to light up blind spots.

I often use AFS while driving, which stands for Adaptive Front-lighting System. It means the headlights can automatically adjust their direction based on your steering angle and vehicle speed, illuminating the inside of curves. This is particularly useful when driving at night or on mountain roads. The technology is achieved through sensors and motors, giving you a wider field of vision when turning and eliminating the hassle of manual adjustments. For example, last month while driving in the countryside, I couldn't see roadside obstacles clearly around bends, but the AFS system helped reduce my tension. Remember to keep the headlights clean and occasionally check if the sensors are dirty to prevent malfunctions that could affect driving safety.

As an automotive enthusiast, the AFS system has brought me much joy—it stands for Adaptive Front-lighting System. When turning, the headlights dynamically follow the steering wheel movement, illuminating blind spots and boosting driving confidence. In my real-world experience, it works by combining cameras and vehicle sensors to intelligently enhance visibility. I once tested it on a foggy day, and the AFS technology effectively prevented potential collisions while saving energy and extending bulb lifespan. If you care about headlight performance, consider regular software updates to ensure optimal functionality, and never overlook simple maintenance like lens cleaning.

Can I add alcohol if my car runs out of gas?

You can add alcohol if your car runs out of gas. Here is some information about what to do when your car runs out of gas: 1. Hazards of adding alcohol: It may cause serious damage to the vehicle, increase fuel consumption, and reduce the engine's power performance to varying degrees. Ethanol gasoline can corrode non-ferrous metals and rubber materials in components such as the fuel tank and carburetor. 2. Recommended solution: Call for roadside assistance. If your car runs out of gas in the city, there's no need to panic. Nowadays, roadside assistance networks are quite widespread, and a single phone call will bring professional help. Therefore, calling for assistance should be your first choice when encountering vehicle issues.

Why Do Car Tires Burst at High Speeds?

There are several main reasons why car tires burst during high-speed driving: 1. Improper Tire Pressure: Excessive tire pressure increases the tension of the tire body cords, rapidly raises tire temperature, accelerates rubber aging, and reduces fatigue strength, leading to tire bursts. 2. Improper Wheel Alignment: When replacing front tires, if the camber angle and toe-in of the wheels are not accurately aligned, it can cause severe wear on the inner or outer edges of the tire tread during driving. If not adjusted in time, prolonged driving will exacerbate this wear, making tire bursts more likely. 3. Lack of Necessary Tire Maintenance: Inadequate tire maintenance can result in uneven wear, creating weak spots that may lead to tire bursts. Additionally, failing to promptly remove stones stuck in the tire treads can accelerate tire wear and increase the risk of tire bursts.

What is the difference between 1.5T and 1.5L engine displacement?

The differences between 1.5T and 1.5L engine displacement in cars are: 1. Different meanings: 1.5T indicates the car is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, while 1.5L indicates the car is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. 2. Different letters: L represents a naturally aspirated engine, while T represents a turbocharged engine. 3. Different fuel consumption: The 1.5L model has lower fuel consumption, while the 1.5T model has higher fuel consumption. 4. Different power: The 1.5T model has stronger power than the 1.5L model.

What is the maximum speed limit on highways?

On roads without speed limit signs or markings, the maximum speed is 40 km/h, while on highways with only one motor vehicle lane in the same direction, the limit is 70 km/h. There are mainly three types of speed limits on highways: 1. Sign-posted speed limits: These refer to speed limits clearly indicated by signs and markings on the road. These limits are usually determined by transportation authorities based on factors such as the road's design speed, function type, geometric alignment characteristics, traffic flow, and roadside environment. 2. Statutory speed limits: These apply to sections without direct speed limit signs, where drivers must adhere to the speed limits specified by relevant laws and regulations. On urban roads without speed limit signs or markings, the maximum speed should not exceed 70 km/h, while on rural roads, it should not exceed 60 km/h. 3. Special time and weather speed limits: When driving on ordinary roads in conditions such as fog, rain, snow, sandstorms, or hail with visibility less than 50 meters, or on icy or muddy roads, the speed limit is 30 km/h.

How Long Does a Car Battery Last?

Car batteries typically last about 3 years. Here are some methods to extend battery life: 1. Use the battery frequently: Many modern cars use lead-acid batteries. If the car remains idle for extended periods, the sulfuric acid inside may settle, leading to natural discharge. Prolonged inactivity can result in insufficient power supply and significantly reduce battery lifespan. 2. Clean the battery terminals: The area around the terminals is not completely sealed. When the car is in motion, any movement can cause electrolyte to leak from the terminals. This electrolyte can undergo chemical reactions in the air, affecting the battery's normal operation. 3. Regularly inspect the alternator: The battery relies on the alternator for charging. If the alternator malfunctions, the battery will be severely impacted, leading not only to insufficient power supply but also to continuous depletion of the battery's durability.

What to Do When Water Drips from the Engine Compartment?

First, identify the leaking component in the engine compartment. If it's a leaking hose, applying sealant and reinstalling it usually suffices. If the sealing ring is damaged, it needs to be replaced. For a leaking radiator in the engine compartment, welding repairs or direct replacement of the part is generally recommended. Here is some information about the engine compartment: 1. Components: The engine compartment typically includes the engine, air filter, battery, engine exhaust system, coolant reservoir, relay box, brake booster, throttle cable, windshield washer fluid reservoir, brake fluid reservoir, fuses, etc. 2. Solutions: The engine compartment may take in water during rainy days. For heat dissipation, the area below the engine is usually not tightly sealed, which can lead to water splashing in during high-speed driving. If water enters, the simplest solution is to open the engine compartment and let it dry under prolonged exposure to sunlight, provided there is no risk of starting the vehicle after inspection.
