Car suspension refers to the entire support system composed of springs and shock absorbers between the body and the tires. Its function is to transmit forces and torques acting between the wheels and the frame, buffer the impact from uneven road surfaces to the frame or body, and dampen the resulting vibrations to ensure smooth driving. The suspension system should support the body and improve the riding experience. Different suspension setups will give drivers different driving sensations. Although seemingly simple in appearance, the suspension system integrates multiple forces, determining the vehicle's stability, comfort, and safety, making it one of the most critical components of modern cars.

What is the internal structure principle of an oil tanker?

The internal structure of an oil tanker is elliptical cylindrical or trapezoidal cylindrical, made of high-quality steel plates. The following is a related introduction to oil tankers: 1. Introduction: Also known as mobile refueling vehicles, computer tax-controlled refueling vehicles, oil guide tankers, oil loading vehicles, oil transport vehicles, oil pulling vehicles, petroleum transport vehicles, or edible oil transport vehicles, they are mainly used for the transportation and storage of petroleum derivatives (such as gasoline, diesel, crude oil, lubricating oil, and coal tar). Depending on different uses and environments, they have various refueling or oil transport functions, including oil absorption, oil pumping, and the ability to separate and distribute multiple types of oil. 2. Safety precautions: To prevent personal electrification, operators must wear anti-static work clothes and anti-static shoes during operation; electrostatic grounding cannot be ignored; sufficient attention should also be paid to accidents caused by "conversion oil loading"—gasoline in the tank must be completely removed first, and operations must be strictly carried out according to procedures; equipment that meets technical specifications and safety requirements must be used.

What type of engine oil is used in the Teana car?

The Teana car uses fully synthetic engine oil with the specification 5W-30-SN. Of course, using 0W-40-SN is also acceptable, with the latter being more commonly used in northern regions during autumn and winter. Whether it's Mobil, Shell, or Castrol's 0W-40-SN, as long as it's genuine fully synthetic engine oil, it is suitable for the Teana. Here is some related information about engine oil usage: 1. Generally speaking, the more precise the engine or the lower the temperature, the thinner the engine oil used. Conversely, the older the engine or the higher the temperature, the thicker the engine oil used. 2. For mineral oil, semi-synthetic oil, or fully synthetic technology oil, the maintenance interval is usually 5,000 kilometers or six months. For fully synthetic oil, the maintenance interval is 10,000 kilometers or one year, whichever comes first.

What to Do If the Car Doesn't Have an External Circulation Button?

Cars not having an external circulation button is a normal phenomenon. Nowadays, many cars only have an internal circulation button. When the internal circulation is turned off, the car automatically defaults to the external circulation being on, so there's no need to worry. Another scenario is that car manufacturers have integrated both internal and external circulation functions into the internal circulation button, requiring just an additional press to switch. Below is an extended introduction: 1. Introduction to external circulation: External circulation refers to outside air being blown into the car, keeping the interior air fresh and reducing motion sickness caused by poor air circulation. 2. The relationship between external and internal circulation: Internal circulation removes hot air from inside the car. To activate external circulation, one should first locate the internal circulation button; typically, the external circulation button is nearby. If there isn't a separate external circulation button, observe the indicator light on the button—when the internal circulation button's light is off, the external circulation is automatically activated. 3. Do not abuse external circulation: The external circulation function should not be misused. For example, when waiting at traffic lights, the vehicle ahead may emit exhaust fumes. Turning on external circulation in such situations can worsen air pollution inside the car.

Is it okay not to fully charge a new battery for the first time?

For the first charge of a new battery, it must be fully charged. When charging a new battery for the first time, use the initial current (one-tenth of the battery's capacity) until the electrolyte starts bubbling, raising the voltage of each cell to 2.3-2.4V. Then, continue charging with half of the initial current until the electrolyte bubbles vigorously, and maintain a stable voltage for 3 hours without fluctuation. Regular battery cleaning: During daily use, pay attention to the battery's condition. Over time, the battery may accumulate dust, powder, grease, etc. To ensure proper functioning, promptly clean the battery's surface and terminals to extend its lifespan. Avoid prolonged parking: If the vehicle is left unused for an extended period, the battery will self-discharge. Therefore, even if the car is not regularly used, it is recommended to start it once a week and take a short drive to keep the battery fully charged. Regular inspection: The typical lifespan of a car battery is 3-4 years. For high-end models with more electronic systems, the battery's lifespan may be shorter. Regular checks on the battery's charging capacity help maintain optimal performance.

Is a Driver's License Required for a Light Electric Motorcycle?

Light electric motorcycles require a driver's license. Reasons: According to the new national standard for electric vehicles, light electric motorcycles have a design maximum speed exceeding 50km/h, a total mass exceeding 55kg, and lack pedal riding devices, thus falling under the category of motor vehicles. Regulations: As per the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," such motor vehicles require one of the following licenses to operate: D, E, or F. Light motorcycles also require passing four examination subjects, as follows: Subject 1: Road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge examination, similar to the Subject 1 test for small cars. Subject 2: Pole test, slope parking and starting, and single-plank bridge crossing. Subject 3: There is no unified standard, but comprehensive items include gear shifting, passing through intersections, crossing pedestrian crossings, left turns, U-turns, right turns, lane changes, straight-line driving, and pulling over. Subject 4: Safe and civilized driving common sense test, also a theoretical examination.

How to Replace the Brake Light Bulb on a Hyundai Elantra?

Here is the method for replacing the headlight bulb of the Elantra: 1. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. 2. Then, pull out the rubber rear cover of the low beam and high beam, disconnect the wiring harness connector from the rear of the bulb (plug-in type for low beam, spring clip type for high beam), and loosen the retaining clip. 3. Carefully remove the headlight bulb (low beam, high beam, and position light). 4. Rotate the front turn signal socket counterclockwise, remove the turn signal bulb, and replace it with a new one. Points to note: 1. Before starting the replacement, ensure the vehicle is turned off, the key is removed, and the engine is completely cooled. 2. Ensure the voltage and wattage of the new bulb are the same as the original to prevent unstable current causing a short circuit, which could blow a fuse or, in severe cases, lead to vehicle fire. 3. Wear gloves throughout the replacement process; do not touch the glass part of the bulb directly with your hands after removal. 4. When purchasing, it is not necessary to choose the original bulb brand; any bulb that meets the national 3C certification standard can be used.
