REGEN on an electric vehicle indicates the operation of the energy recovery function. The following is an introduction to electric vehicles: 1. Introduction: An electric vehicle (BEV) refers to a vehicle that uses on-board power as its energy source, drives the wheels with an electric motor, and meets all the requirements of road traffic and safety regulations. 2. Main types: Electric vehicles are divided into three types: pure electric vehicles (BEV), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV). 3. Components of an electric vehicle: These include the electric drive and control system, mechanical systems such as the drive force transmission, and working devices that complete set tasks. The electric drive and control system is the core of an electric vehicle and also the biggest difference from internal combustion engine vehicles.

What brand of transmission is used in the Envision?

The transmission brand used in the Envision is SAIC-GM. SAIC General Motors Co., Ltd., established on June 12, 1997, is a joint venture between SAIC Motor Corporation Limited and General Motors Company. It has four major production bases located in Pudong Jinqiao, Yantai Dongyue, Shenyang Beisheng, and Wuhan Branch, comprising a total of four vehicle production plants and two powertrain plants, making it one of the important enterprises in China's automotive industry. The Envision is equipped with two types of transmissions: a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and a 9-speed automatic transmission (9AT). The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine is paired with the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, while the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine is matched with the 9AT. Dual-clutch transmissions are currently very popular, favored by many automakers and consumers alike. The structure of a dual-clutch transmission is similar to that of a manual transmission, with the only difference being the addition of an extra clutch and a shift control mechanism. Dual-clutch transmissions offer fast shifting speeds and high transmission efficiency, making them particularly suitable for use with small-displacement turbocharged engines. When using the Envision's transmission in daily driving, the following points should be noted: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Although many modern vehicles come with maintenance-free transmission fluid, 'maintenance-free' does not mean 'never change.' Prolonged failure to replace the transmission fluid can lead to damage to internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While driving manual transmission vehicles, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral, but for automatic transmission vehicles, this can cause the transmission to overheat and may result in a noticeable jolt when shifting back into Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Some drivers, aiming to demonstrate 'smooth' operation, may shift into reverse while the vehicle is still moving, which can cause significant damage to the transmission gears and, over time, lead to gear grinding or other failures. Do not frequently climb steep slopes in Drive (D) mode. When navigating steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles can overheat due to high load or may upshift too early, resulting in insufficient power. In such cases, it is advisable to use manual mode to lock in lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, it should be transported using a flatbed tow truck with the vehicle in Neutral (N) and placed onto the tow platform. Towing with a rope or directly dragging the vehicle should be avoided.

How Often Should Audi Spark Plugs Be Replaced?

Audi spark plug replacement interval: Under normal maintenance conditions, replacement is recommended after driving 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type. It is advisable to follow the instructions in the user manual. You can refer to the following standards for maintenance replacement: Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Spark plug working principle: The spark plug's ground electrode is connected to the metal shell, which is threaded into the engine block via the cylinder head. The insulator primarily serves to isolate the metal shell from the center electrode. The terminal nut is the part of the spark plug that contacts the high-voltage coil. When current passes through the terminal nut and the center electrode, it ionizes the medium between the center electrode and the ground electrode, generating a spark to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder.

Can Mercedes-Benz cars be serviced outside of 4S dealerships?

Mercedes-Benz vehicles can be serviced outside of 4S dealerships for maintenance. After purchasing a vehicle, there are no restrictions requiring maintenance to be performed exclusively at brand-authorized service centers. It is permissible to have the vehicle serviced at repair shops or other institutions, or even to purchase parts yourself and perform the maintenance independently. When maintaining the vehicle, pay attention to the following points: The engine oil should be replaced every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers driven. Mercedes-Benz vehicles are generally automatic transmission models, and the transmission fluid should be replaced every 60,000 kilometers. The steering system should be cleaned or have its components replaced every 40,000 kilometers. The braking system requires maintenance every 50,000 kilometers to ensure normal operation. At 20,000 kilometers, the throttle body and fuel injectors should be cleaned to remove carbon deposits and ensure the proper functioning of the ignition system.

Are Maybach Windows on the Doors?

Maybach's triangular windows are fixed on the C-pillar, not on the doors. Below is relevant information about car doors: 1. Composition: A car door generally consists of three parts: the door body, door accessories, and interior trim panel. The door body includes the inner door panel, outer door panel, door window frame, door reinforcement beam, and door reinforcement plate. Door accessories include door hinges, door opening limiters, door lock mechanisms, interior and exterior handles, door glass, window regulators, and sealing strips. The interior trim panel includes the fixed panel, core panel, interior cover, and inner armrest. 2. Classification: Car doors can be divided into front-hinged doors, rear-hinged doors, and sliding doors. Front-hinged doors can be closed by the airflow pressure even when the car is moving, making them safer and more convenient for the driver to observe the rear when reversing. Rear-hinged doors, if not closed tightly, may be pushed open by the oncoming airflow when the car is moving, so they are less commonly used and generally only adopted to improve the convenience of getting in and out or for ceremonial purposes. Sliding doors have the advantage of being able to fully open even when the distance between the car's side wall and an obstacle is small.
