Car suspension system refers to a connecting structural system between the body, frame, and wheels, which includes components such as shock absorbers, suspension springs, anti-roll bars, suspension subframes, and lower control arms. Here are the specific details about car suspension: 1. Function of car suspension: The car suspension is mainly used to transmit forces and torques between the wheels and the frame, and to mitigate impact forces, ensuring smooth driving even on uneven roads. 2. Types of car suspension: Independent suspension mainly features a disconnected axle, where each side's wheels can be individually connected to the body through elastic suspension, and the wheels on both sides can move independently without affecting each other; Non-independent suspension is connected by an integral frame, with the wheels and axle together suspended under the body through an elastic suspension system, so when one wheel jumps due to road irregularities, the other side will also swing accordingly.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When a New Car Turns?

New cars producing abnormal noises when turning is a normal phenomenon because the vehicle has not yet undergone the break-in period, and some internal components have not achieved 100% compatibility. Once the new car completes the break-in period, the abnormal noise should naturally disappear. If the noise persists, it may indicate a quality issue with the car, requiring inspection and repair at a 4S dealership. If necessary, you can file a claim for compensation. Modern mid-to-high-end cars and heavy-duty vehicles commonly use power steering systems, which not only significantly improve driving ease but also enhance road safety. The power steering system is formed by adding a power-assisted steering device that relies on the engine's output power to the mechanical steering system. Passenger cars typically adopt a rack-and-pinion power steering mechanism.

How to Turn on the Air Conditioning While the Car is Parked?

You can turn on the air conditioning when the car is turned off, but there will be no cooling function, and prolonged use can easily lead to battery drain. Generally, it is recommended to run the air conditioning for no more than 15 minutes while parked. The reasons are as follows: 1. Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Running the air conditioning for a long time while parked can easily cause carbon monoxide poisoning, as the car's air conditioning system may lead to excessive carbon monoxide levels. If you must run the air conditioning for an extended period while parked, you should open the windows periodically for ventilation or switch to the external circulation mode. 2. Fuel Consumption: When parked, the engine idles at a low speed, resulting in low intake pressure. In this state, the engine increases the throttle opening, thereby increasing fuel injection. For most family cars, running the air conditioning while idling consumes approximately 1~2 liters of gasoline per hour (varies by model). At a rate of 8 yuan per liter of gasoline, the cost amounts to about 15 yuan per hour.

What does it mean when the SET yellow light on the dashboard is on?

When the SET light on the car dashboard is illuminated, it indicates that the tire pressure of the vehicle is too low. Here is an introduction to the SET light: 1. Tire Pressure Monitoring System: Once the light comes on, it means that the inflation pressure of one of the wheels' tires is too low. 2. Principle of Pressure Monitoring: It uses wheel speed sensors to detect the rotation speed of the wheels. When the speed difference between a certain wheel and the other wheels reaches a certain value, the system will determine that the tire pressure is insufficient, and then the SET button light and the dashboard tire pressure monitoring warning light will illuminate to alert the driver. 3. Specific Situation Introduction: The illumination of the SET light is most likely caused by abnormal tire pressure. Many vehicles today are equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system. When the sensors detect abnormal tire pressure, the dashboard will alert the driver to check the tires, and the "SET" button on the center console of some vehicles will also light up.

How to Check Online Whether a Car is New?

To check, you need to look at the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), and then use the VIN to query at the vehicle management office. Below is an introduction about used cars: 1. Introduction: A used car refers to a vehicle (including three-wheeled vehicles, low-speed trucks, originally known as agricultural vehicles), trailers, and motorcycles that have been registered with the public traffic management authorities and can be traded and transferred ownership before reaching the national scrapping standards. 2. Definition: The definition of a used car directly relates to the scope of vehicles involved and, to some extent, affects the scientific nature of the used car evaluation system and the standardization of market transactions, so it is necessary to provide a clear definition. 3. Suitable for: The biggest selling point of used cars is their affordability. With the same amount of money used to buy a new car, you can purchase a used car of a higher grade. Therefore, from the perspective of reducing car purchase costs, buying a used car is a wiser choice for the general public.

How many times should the high and low beams be toggled?

High beam and low beam lights should be toggled 2-3 times for light signaling. The applicable scenarios and precautions for high beam usage are as follows: Applicable scenarios for high beams: Generally, when driving on roads with poor lighting conditions, such as highways, vehicles need to turn on high beams. However, when meeting other vehicles, drivers should switch to low beams and then revert to high beams afterward. Precautions for high beam usage: On narrow roads when encountering non-motorized vehicles, low beams should be used. At intersections controlled by traffic signals, high beams must not be used.
