The departure angle of a car is the angle between the tangent line drawn from the lowest point at the rear end of the car to the outer edge of the rear wheel and the ground. The departure angle refers to the angle between the tangent line drawn from the protruding point at the rear end of the car to the rear wheel and the road surface when the car is fully loaded and stationary. It is the maximum angle between the horizontal plane and the plane tangent to the outer edge of the vehicle's rearmost wheel tire (under static load). When a car moves from a slope with a gradient greater than the approach angle to flat ground, its rear part will come into contact with the slope. The departure angle of a car indicates its ability to avoid collisions when leaving obstacles such as small hills or ditches. The larger the departure angle, the better the car's off-road capability.

What is the difference between the internal and external circulation of a car's air conditioning system?

The differences between the internal and external circulation of a car's air conditioning system are: 1. Different circulation methods: Internal circulation refers to the air inside the car being heated or cooled before being sent back into the car; external circulation involves drawing air from outside the car, heating or cooling it, and then sending it into the car, facilitating gas exchange between the inside and outside of the car. 2. Different symbols: The internal circulation icon features a closed car interior with a circulating arrow; the external circulation icon shows an open car with an external air arrow pointing into the car. The purposes of external and internal circulation are: 1. When turning on the air conditioning for cooling or heating, activating internal circulation can quickly lower or raise the temperature inside the car; 2. When the external air environment is poor, turning on internal circulation is advisable.

What is the shutdown sequence for automatic transmission vehicles?

Automatic transmission vehicle shutdown sequence is as follows: straighten the steering wheel, turn off all electrical equipment including all windows and sunroof, press the brake pedal, shift to N gear, engage the handbrake, shift to P gear, release the brake pedal, and turn the key to shut off the engine. One important thing to remember is that whether shutting down in P gear or N gear, always tighten the handbrake before releasing the foot brake. Only the handbrake can truly prevent the vehicle from moving, as the P gear functions similarly to engaging first gear in manual transmission vehicles to prevent rolling. If the handbrake is not engaged, the vehicle may move downhill under gravity and inertia, which could damage the transmission if only P gear is engaged. Over time, this can significantly shorten the transmission's lifespan, so always engage the handbrake first when parking.
