Audi warning on the dashboard means rear-end collision warning. Under system-available conditions, the front pre-sense system issues warnings and applies corresponding braking based on the situation and vehicle speed when there is a risk of collision with stationary, temporarily stopped, or moving vehicles or pedestrians. If not recognized, the front pre-sense system will not respond. Below is an introduction to the pre-sense system: 1. Working principle: The pre-sense system uses radar sensor data to calculate the probability of an accident. Within the system's operable range, it can detect collision risks with vehicles or pedestrians. In such cases, the system warns the driver through visual and audible signals, and may also apply brake jolts. If necessary, it may apply partial or full braking to reduce impact speed or avoid a potential collision. In vehicles equipped with the basic version of the pre-sense system, the front seat belts are additionally tensioned in reverse as needed. Even after turning off the adaptive cruise control system, the Audi front pre-sense system remains active. 2. Function: The pre-sense system issues a severe warning through a brake jolt when facing a collision risk with a vehicle. If the driver does not respond to this emergency warning, the front pre-sense system will progressively increase braking force within system-allowed limits, thereby reducing speed in case of a potential collision. 3. Do not overly rely on the pre-sense system: The front pre-sense system cannot exceed physical limits. It is an auxiliary system and cannot prevent collisions under all circumstances. The driver must always intervene and brake in time. Do not take risks while driving just because this system improves safety, as this could lead to accidents.

Where is the engine of the JAC Refine M3 located?

Below the right exhaust manifold, near the fan wheel on the cast iron cylinder block, there is a rectangular flat surface stamped with the engine's serial number. Similar to a car's VIN, the engine number is unique. The format and content of engine numbers vary by manufacturer. Below is relevant information: 1. Powertrain: The Refine S3 is equipped with a 4GB 1.5L engine, delivering a rated power of 83kW (55kW per liter) and a maximum torque of 146Nm (100Nm at low-end). It is paired with either a 6MT or CVT transmission, achieving a fuel consumption of 5.9L/100km, thereby reducing operating costs. 2. Maintenance Notes: The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will degrade over time. To prevent malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain proper oil levels. Rust and scale deposits can restrict coolant flow in the cooling system, reducing heat dissipation and potentially causing engine overheating or damage. Therefore, regularly clean the radiator to remove rust and scale deposits.

How to Overtake with a Tiptronic Transmission Car?

To overtake with a tiptronic transmission car: 1. Press the accelerator pedal deeply to overtake; 2. If the transmission responds slowly, switch to manual mode, downshift manually, and press the accelerator deeply to overtake. Precautions for using the gears in a tiptronic transmission car: 1. Only use the reverse gear after the car has come to a complete stop, and avoid coasting in N (neutral) gear; 2. When the car is in D (drive) gear, you can only switch to manual mode; 3. Do not press the accelerator when changing gears; 4. If the gear lever accidentally shifts into N gear while driving, release the accelerator immediately and wait for the engine to idle before shifting back to D gear. The method to start a tiptronic transmission car: 1. Turn the ignition key to the second position (power mode), and the car's computer system will begin self-checking; 2. Press the foot brake, shift from P (park) gear to N gear, and start the engine; 3. With the foot brake pressed, shift from N gear to D gear.

How Long Can a Vehicle Go Without Inspection?

If a vehicle's inspection is overdue by no more than 3 months, the annual inspection can still be processed through normal procedures. In this case, the driver will only receive a verbal warning from traffic police and will not face any penalties. Below is relevant information about expired vehicle inspections: 1. Vehicle Loss Considered 'Uncompensated': According to the terms of an insurance company's auto insurance contract, the policy only covers vehicles that are qualified and legal. This means that vehicles without an annual inspection are considered unqualified and, by regulation, are not permitted to operate on the road. Insurance companies also disclaim liability for such vehicles. 2. No Insurance Coverage in Case of Accidents: If a vehicle exceeds the inspection deadline, the owner should immediately stop driving it. If an accident occurs with a vehicle that has an expired inspection, the insurance company has the right to refuse compensation. 3. Fines and Vehicle Impoundment by Traffic Police: According to Article 95 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, if a driver is found operating a vehicle with an overdue inspection on the road, they will not only be fined and penalized with 3 demerit points but will also have their vehicle impounded.

How to Activate the Four-Wheel Drive Mode in the Prado?

The method to activate the four-wheel drive mode in the Prado is as follows: While the vehicle is parked, turn the switch in front of the handbrake to engage the four-wheel drive mode. Below is a detailed introduction to the three modes of the Prado's four-wheel drive function: 1. H4F - Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive Mode: The differential automatically distributes torque between the front and rear axles. In daily use, this function provides full-time four-wheel drive with automatic adjustment of power distribution between the front and rear wheels. The typical power distribution is: front wheels 40-15%, rear wheels 60-85%. 2. H4L - High-Speed Four-Wheel Drive Mode: The central differential is locked, and the front and rear axles are rigidly connected, suitable for low-traction surfaces such as rain, snow, gravel, or light off-road terrain. This function locks the power distribution between the front and rear wheels at 50% each, making it ideal for light off-roading. 3. L4L - Low-Speed Four-Wheel Drive Mode: The central differential is locked, and the front and rear axles are rigidly connected, with torque amplified by 2.566 times, designed for extreme off-road conditions.

Is Payment Made Before Vehicle Pickup When Buying a Car?

When purchasing a car, payment is made before vehicle pickup. Here are relevant considerations regarding car buying: 1. Purchase Process: Always inspect the vehicle before payment to ensure no issues exist, as payment completion essentially finalizes all procedures, transferring initiative to the dealership. Discovering problems afterward would significantly disadvantage the buyer. 2. Pickup Documentation: During pickup, verify all required documents are present. Many dealerships currently use vehicle certificates as loan collateral with banks, so carefully check document completeness. Essential documents typically include: sales invoice, vehicle certificate, maintenance manual, warranty service card, and owner's manual.

What does the 55b24l battery mean?

55b24l battery indicates the model and specification parameters of the battery. 55 represents the battery capacity code, with a larger number indicating that the battery can store more power; B represents the size of the battery, indicating a length of 240 millimeters, a width of 129 millimeters, and a height of 203 millimeters. 24 indicates that the length of the battery is approximately 24CM; L (left) or R (right) indicates the position of the negative terminal, with L indicating that the positive terminal is on the left end. The following is an explanation of the battery: 1. The combination of the battery's width and height is represented by one of the 8 letters (A to H), with characters closer to H indicating larger width and height values of the battery. 2. The battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of cell that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. The battery commonly referred to by people is a lead-acid battery, which is mainly made of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. 3. Generally, the normal service life of a battery is between 1 to 8 years, but this also depends on the condition of the vehicle and its usage and maintenance. Under normal conditions where the vehicle's alternator recharges properly and there is no leakage or grounding of electrical components, the battery can typically last for more than 3 years.
