Automotive three-way refers to: the three-way catalytic converter. It is the most important external purification device installed in the automobile exhaust system, which can convert harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOx emitted by automobile exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction. The following is relevant information about the three-way catalytic converter: 1. Appearance: The three-way catalytic converter looks like a metal can from the outside, but inside it contains a 'carrier' for purifying exhaust gases. This honeycomb-shaped ceramic carrier is coated with a precious metal slurry, mainly composed of platinum, rhodium, and palladium. 2. Function of purifying exhaust gases: The precious metals act as purifying agents, reducing HC and CO in the exhaust gases into water and CO2, while decomposing NOx into nitrogen and oxygen. This is the exhaust gas purification function of the three-way catalytic converter.

What does a car's automatic following system rely on from the vehicle ahead?

The automatic following system of a car primarily relies on detecting and calculating the distance to the vehicle ahead. Composition of the automatic following system: The automatic following technology is actually composed of a large number of sensors and control systems. Firstly, there is a radar sensor at the front of the car to monitor the distance to the vehicle ahead, a speed sensor to measure the speed of the opposing vehicle, and several radar sensors on both sides to monitor whether there are vehicles approaching from either side. Models equipped with this system: Currently, the main models on the market that are equipped with automatic following systems include the Volvo V40, BMW 5 Series Li, and Cadillac ATS-L.

What is the general tire pressure for motorcycle tires?

Motorcycle tire pressure standards: Front wheel 1.75bar, rear wheel 2.25bar. Overview of tire pressure: Tire pressure, strictly speaking, refers to the air pressure inside the tire. Tire pressure is the blood pressure of a motorcycle, and the level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the motorcycle. Function of tire pressure: Tire pressure is an indicator of a motorcycle's load capacity. The load capacity of a motorcycle depends on the level of tire pressure. According to the relationship between the tire's load index, tire pressure, and load capacity, the higher the tire pressure, the greater the load capacity; the lower the pressure, the smaller the load capacity.

What are the reasons for feeling idle vibration?

The reasons for feeling idle vibration are: 1. The vehicle's ignition system has malfunctioned; 2. Loose components in the ignition system; 3. Severe engine carbon buildup; 4. Aging engine components; 5. Excessive carbon buildup in the throttle; 6. The air filter has not been replaced in time; 7. Excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors; 8. Problems with the ignition system; 9. Unstable oil pressure. The idle speed of a car is not a speed, but refers to a working condition. When the engine is running without load, it is called idling. When the engine is running, completely releasing the accelerator pedal puts the engine in an idle state. The engine speed during idling is called the idle speed, which can be adjusted by changing the throttle opening size to increase or decrease it.

What does the S gear in an automatic car mean?

The S gear in an automatic car refers to the Sport mode, where 'S' stands for Sport. In this mode, the transmission can shift freely, allowing the engine to maintain higher RPMs for extended periods. This enables the vehicle to operate at lower gears with higher revolutions, resulting in greater torque output and acceleration. When using the S gear, the increased RPMs lead to changes in the engine's fuel injection, providing more power but also increasing fuel consumption. Compared to the D (Drive) gear, the S gear is less fuel-efficient due to prolonged operation at lower gears with higher revs, though it offers better performance. Therefore, the S gear is commonly used for overtaking, after which drivers typically switch back to D gear. Some drivers also engage the S gear to help remove carbon deposits by temporarily increasing engine load and raising temperature, which can aid in clearing carbon buildup.

What exactly is the letter with a checkmark on the t in the vehicle license?

This letter is the Greek letter 'tau'. The printer models used by public security departments employ proprietary symbols, resulting in printed font effects that differ from those produced by standard printers. Vehicle license text: The main page of the vehicle license has black text. The phrase 'People's Republic of China Motor Vehicle License' is in 12pt bold font and centered. Other text includes 'License Plate Number', 'Vehicle Type', 'Usage Nature', 'Owner', 'Address', 'Brand Model', 'Engine Number', 'Vehicle Identification Number', 'Registration Date', 'Issue Date', etc. Components of the vehicle license: The motor vehicle license is the legal document permitting a vehicle to drive on roads within China. The license consists of three parts: the document, the main page, and the supplementary page. The front of the main page contains the endorsed certificate core, while the back has the vehicle photo, both sealed in plastic. The supplementary page is the endorsed certificate core.

Where is the Accord fuel filter located?

The fuel filter (also known as the fuel strainer) on the Honda Accord is located inside the fuel tank for some models, while others have it positioned underneath the vehicle. There are two types of fuel filters: carburetor-style and electronic fuel injection (EFI) style. In carbureted gasoline engines, the fuel filter is situated on the inlet side of the fuel pump with relatively low working pressure, typically featuring a nylon housing. For EFI engines, the fuel filter is located on the outlet side of the fuel pump, operating under higher pressure with a metal housing. The Accord is a midsize sedan under GAC Honda. Taking the 2021 Accord 260TURBO Luxury Starry Sky Limited Edition as an example, it is powered by a 1.5L inline-4 turbocharged engine delivering 143kW maximum power and 260Nm peak torque, paired with a CVT transmission.
