EV in a dash cam refers to a set standard for measuring whether the amount of light passing through the lens meets the required level. Below is an introduction to the related content: 1. Combination: The amount of light passing through the lens is primarily determined by the area of passage and the cumulative time of passage. Since both light sensitivity and speed are variable, there can be many different combinations of results. 2. EV value of zero: The EV value is the result of comparing the luminous flux with a set numerical value. When the difference between the luminous flux and the set value is zero, the EV value is zero. 3. Dash cam: A dash cam is an instrument that records images, sounds, and other related information during vehicle travel. After installing a dash cam, it can record the entire process of driving, including video images and sounds, which can serve as evidence in traffic accidents.

The EV on a dash cam stands for Exposure Compensation, which essentially allows you to manually adjust the brightness or darkness of the footage. For instance, when entering or exiting a tunnel where light changes abruptly, the auto-exposure might lag, resulting in footage that's either washed out or too dark. Pressing EV+ brightens the image to reveal details in darker areas, while EV- prevents overexposure in bright conditions. My dash cam offers adjustable EV settings ranging from +2 to -2. Increasing it by +1 during rainy weather immediately makes the license plate of the car ahead much clearer. However, newer smart dash cams now mostly handle this automatically, leaving manual adjustments mainly for older models.

Is it better to use 92 or 95 octane gasoline for the Honda Avancier?

If you cherish your vehicle and can afford the cost, it is best to use 95 octane gasoline. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. The manufacturer of the Honda Avancier requires the use of 92 octane or higher gasoline that meets national standards, and a fuel additive should be added every 5,000 kilometers. In fact, the Avancier can use either 92 or 95 octane gasoline, but there is not much difference in terms of fuel economy. 2. The Earth Dreams engine of the Avancier is designed with a minimum applicable gasoline octane rating of 92, which means using gasoline below 92 octane will cause engine knocking. 3. Using 92 octane may occasionally cause knocking, while using 95 octane will definitely prevent knocking. Of course, the chance of occasional knocking is very low, with 0 to 2 occurrences in 500 ignition cycles at 1,000 RPM, so the damage to the engine is minimal. 4. Although higher octane gasoline has better anti-knock performance, it does not necessarily mean that the highest 98 octane gasoline is suitable for all engines. If the engine is designed for a minimum of 95 octane, then using 98 octane is acceptable. However, for the Avancier, which is designed for a minimum of 92 octane, using 98 octane may result in incomplete combustion of the gasoline, not only wasting energy in the fuel but also increasing carbon deposits.

Where is the tire pressure monitoring displayed on the 2021 Fit?

2021 Fit's tire pressure monitoring is displayed on the vehicle's dashboard. There are three common types of tire pressure monitoring methods: Direct tire pressure monitoring: The direct tire pressure monitoring device uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire's air pressure. It uses a wireless transmitter to send the pressure information from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the tire pressure data for each tire. When the tire pressure is too low or there is a leak, the system will automatically issue an alert. Indirect tire pressure monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, resulting in a faster rotation speed compared to other wheels. By comparing the differences in rotation speed between the tires, the system monitors the tire pressure. The indirect tire pressure alert system essentially relies on calculating the tire's rolling radius to monitor the pressure. Introduction to the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): It combines the advantages of the two systems mentioned above. Direct sensors are installed in two diagonally opposite tires, and a 4-wheel indirect system is also equipped. Compared to using only a direct system, this hybrid system can reduce costs and overcome the limitation of the indirect system, which cannot detect when multiple tires simultaneously have low pressure. However, it still cannot provide real-time data on the actual pressure in all four tires like a direct system.

What are the differences between joint venture cars and domestic cars?

There are six main differences between joint venture cars and domestic cars: 1. Styling: In terms of exterior design, domestic cars are largely in the imitation stage, while joint venture cars may combine their own product advantages and make some improvements based on domestic consumer market demands, making them more market-friendly. 2. Engine technology: In some specialized automotive technologies, domestic car technology may have started development later, so joint venture brands may have an advantage in this area. Except for a few domestic brands with their own unique engine technologies, most domestic cars still rely on imported engine technologies. 3. Company attributes: Domestic cars are designed and manufactured by Chinese companies, while joint venture cars are mostly funded by Chinese partners who provide land, factory usage rights, and capital, while foreign investors contribute the brand and technology to jointly manufacture cars. 4. Features: Joint venture cars in the Chinese market often undergo some modifications, with basic performance features remaining unchanged, but some configurations may be reduced compared to the same models abroad. Domestic cars, due to their later start, may not match joint venture cars in terms of features. 5. After-sales maintenance: Domestic car brands focus on comfort, but due to their shorter development period compared to joint venture cars, their maintenance processes and systems are not as well-established as those of joint venture brands. 6. Brand influence: Joint venture cars typically rely on foreign automakers for technology and domestic automakers for labor. Therefore, compared to domestic cars, joint venture cars offer more technical reliability. The level of brand influence also affects the car's resale value.

What Kind of Mercedes-Benz is Called 'Big Ben'?

Big Ben refers to the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, which is the most luxurious sedan in the Mercedes-Benz lineup. The S-Class is a large luxury sedan, and its competitors include the BMW 7 Series and Audi A8. The current Mercedes-Benz S-Class has 5 models available, equipped with two types of engines: a low-power 2.5-liter turbocharged engine and a high-power 3.0-liter turbocharged engine. The low-power 2.5-liter turbocharged engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 367 PS and a peak torque of 500 Nm. The engine's maximum torque is achieved between 2000 and 4000 rpm, while the maximum power output occurs between 5500 and 6000 rpm. This engine features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission (9AT). The high-power 3.0-liter turbocharged engine produces 435 horsepower and a peak torque of 520 Nm. The engine's maximum torque is available between 1800 and 5800 rpm, while the maximum power output is achieved at 6100 rpm. This engine also features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is also paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission (9AT).

What is SL5W30 engine oil?

Shell SL5W-30 is a multi-grade oil specification, and the specific parameters mean: 1. S: SAE viscosity grade standard; 2. L: API certification, where L represents automotive engine oil, with letters further in the alphabet indicating higher oil quality; 3. 0: Oil's low-temperature fluidity, where a smaller number indicates better low-temperature fluidity and a lower usable environmental temperature; 5W corresponds to an external temperature of -35 degrees Celsius; 4. W: Winter; 5. 30: Viscosity at high temperatures, where a higher number indicates greater oil viscosity and a higher usable environmental temperature. Additional information: 1. Viscosity specification: The grade following the oil classification indicates its viscosity specification. For example, in "15W-40, 5W-40," "W" stands for Winter, and the smaller the number before it, the better the oil's low-temperature fluidity, representing a lower usable environmental temperature and better engine protection during cold starts. For instance, 5W represents resistance to external temperatures as low as -30°C, while 20W is resistant to -15°C. 2. Kinematic viscosity: The number after W represents the oil's kinematic viscosity at 100°C, with higher numbers indicating higher viscosity. 40 means the kinematic viscosity standard at 100 degrees Celsius is between 12.5mm2/s and 16.3mm2/s, and it definitely does not mean it can be used below 40°C as some rumors suggest.
