ASPS in a car stands for Anti-Submarining Protection System. This system is designed with a rear-sunken panel structure under the seat to prevent passengers from sliding forward during sudden braking, which could cause injuries to the neck and spine. Introduction to the Anti-Submarining Protection System: 1. When the vehicle is subjected to a frontal impact, in conjunction with seat belts, it restrains passengers in their seats and generates a sinking force to prevent forward sliding. This reduces the risk of greater injuries caused by legs hitting the dashboard or the head and chest hitting the steering wheel due to forward sliding. 2. In addition to the front-high and rear-low design of internal panels, some car manufacturers now use airbags to prevent passengers from sliding forward as part of the ASPS - Anti-Submarining Protection System.

What Causes the Shuddering in Volkswagen DSG Transmission During 2nd to 3rd Gear Shift?

Volkswagen DSG transmission shuddering during 2nd to 3rd gear shift occurs because the clutch remains in a constant slipping state during gear changes, causing gradual temperature rise in the clutch friction plates. Precautions for gear shifting: Smoothness: After engaging a new gear, release the clutch pedal promptly and smoothly. Accuracy: Ensure proper coordination between clutch pedal, accelerator pedal, and gear lever with precise positioning. Speed: Perform the shift quickly to minimize shift time, reduce vehicle kinetic energy loss, and decrease fuel consumption. Timing: Master appropriate shift timing—neither upshifting too early nor downshifting too late. Speed control during shifting: Gear shifts should be determined by vehicle speed. Before upshifting, increase the speed first; before downshifting, reduce the speed first. Note: To prevent mechanical wear during downshifting, it's best to use the double-clutching method.

Are Windshield Wipers Different for Left and Right Sides?

Nowadays, many car models have windshield wipers of different sizes for the left and right sides, with distinct left and right variations. Left and Right Differences: Some left-side wipers can only rotate about 90 degrees, while the right-side wipers have a larger rotation range, thus covering a bigger operational area. Generally, the left wiper is longer than the right one, and both sweep from the bottom right to the top left. This means the wiper on the driver's side is longer, while the one on the passenger side is shorter. Some car models have wipers of the same length on both sides, but the hooks connecting the wiper blades to the arms are different—the hook opening on the left blade is on the right side, and the hook opening on the right blade is on the left. Daily Maintenance of Windshield Wipers: Purchase appropriate cleaning agents and regularly use them to remove dirt from the wipers and residual grease from the windshield, ensuring the wipers can clean effectively and maintain clear visibility. Replace the wipers when necessary to prevent aging and hardening due to weather conditions, which could impair their functionality.
