ESC in cars stands for Electronic Stability Control, which is an active safety technology that assists drivers in controlling the vehicle. It is also an extension of the functions of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Traction Control System (TCS). ESC primarily controls the longitudinal and lateral stability of the vehicle to ensure stable driving. The ESC system consists of three main components: sensors, the Electronic Control Unit (ECU), and actuators. The working principle of ESC involves the ECU monitoring the vehicle's operating conditions and intervening in the engine and braking system. The ESC system automatically activates only when the vehicle is in an unstable condition.

What are the explanations for the interior function buttons of the Toyota Levin?

Toyota Levin interior function button explanations are as follows: 1. Electronic Stability Program (ESP): The system is enabled by default and is not recommended to be turned off except in slippery conditions such as rain or snow. 2. Recirculation/Fresh Air: The difference between recirculation and fresh air modes is that recirculation uses air from inside the vehicle, while fresh air mode brings in outside air to replace the existing cabin air. Use recirculation in heavy traffic, dusty conditions, or during smog. When using recirculation for extended periods, switch to fresh air mode every hour to maintain air quality (unless the outside environment is extremely poor). 3. Parking Radar/Image: This button activates the panoramic camera and radar function, providing visual and auditory feedback to help the driver detect surrounding obstacles. 4. Auto Hold: At traffic lights, this feature relieves foot fatigue by automatically locking the wheels with the brake calipers. Pressing the accelerator pedal unlocks the wheels, allowing the vehicle to proceed. 5. Auto Start-Stop: When activated, the engine temporarily shuts off. Releasing the brake pedal allows the vehicle to move forward again.

What are the differences between Class A, B, C, D, and E sedans?

According to the German automobile classification standard: Class A (including A0/A00) vehicles refer to small cars, Class B vehicles are mid-range sedans, Class C vehicles are premium sedans, and Class D vehicles are luxury sedans. The most common method to classify these levels is by the length of the wheelbase—the distance between the two wheels. By measuring the wheelbase, one can determine the class of a car, which is the most intuitive method. Cars generally come in standard, low, mid, and high trim levels, which refer to: 1. Low trim: usually a simplified version without features like leather seats or power windows, lacking many electronic control functions; 2. Standard trim: includes normal electric controls such as power windows, power steering, and air conditioning; 3. Mid trim: slightly more advanced than the standard trim, including all standard features plus possibly additional elements like airbags, sunroof, leather seats, power seats, and seat heating; 4. High trim: more advanced than the above configurations, often considered the flagship version of the model.
