The G in cars is a unit of gravity, with g representing more, mainly gravitational acceleration. During vehicle testing, there are two sets of data: lateral and longitudinal. The lateral data indicates the side-slip limit of the car when turning, commonly understood as the relationship between the vehicle's speed and the angle of the curve without causing side-slip. This represents the vehicle's handling performance. The longitudinal data indicates the vehicle's performance during acceleration and deceleration, i.e., the maximum capacity for speed increase and braking. A car with a higher g value performs better. For general-use vehicles, the maximum and minimum longitudinal values can be achieved, but the lateral values, due to the risk of losing control, are rarely achieved by anyone other than professional drivers. The full vehicle value of a car: This refers to the length and tonnage of the vehicle, charged as a single fee. The vehicle is delivered to a specified location individually, with the fee based on the full vehicle price, equivalent to a charter price. The ECU of a car: ECU (Electronic Control Unit), commonly known as the "onboard computer," is a specialized microcomputer controller for cars, also called the car's dedicated computer. When the engine is running, the ECU collects signals from various sensors, performs calculations, and converts the results into control signals to manage the controlled objects. The inherent program continuously compares and calculates with the signals collected from the sensors during engine operation. The results of these comparisons and calculations control multiple parameters of the engine, such as ignition, idle speed, and exhaust gas recirculation. It also has self-diagnostic and protective functions. The memory continuously records driving data, forming the ECU's learning program to provide optimal control states adapted to driving habits, known as the adaptive program.

What is the speed limit on Huachang Expressway?

Huachang Expressway has a speed limit of 100km/h. Huachang Expressway was renamed from the Yilouheng Expressway plus its north-south extension sections, connecting the regions of Yueyang City (Huarong), Yiyang City, Loudi City, and Hengyang City (Changning), with the Hunan Expressway numbering S71. Maximum speed: Expressways should indicate the driving speed of lanes, with the maximum speed not exceeding 120 kilometers per hour, and the minimum speed not less than 60 kilometers per hour. On expressways, the maximum speed of small passenger vehicles should not exceed 120 kilometers per hour, other motor vehicles should not exceed 100 kilometers per hour, and motorcycles should not exceed 80 kilometers per hour. Minimum speed: According to the "Regulations on the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law," if there are 2 lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed of the left lane is 100 kilometers per hour; if there are 3 or more lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed of the leftmost lane is 110 kilometers per hour, and the minimum speed of the middle lane is 90 kilometers per hour. If the speed indicated by the road speed limit signs is inconsistent with the above lane speed regulations, drive according to the speed indicated by the road speed limit signs.

What are the symptoms of aging in automotive ignition coils?

If the ignition coil is aging, the simplest and most direct symptom is that when opening the engine compartment, you can observe signs such as adhesive overflow, cracking, connection tube issues, or erosion of the high-voltage terminal on the ignition coil. Ignition coil maintenance recommendations: 1. Prevent the ignition coil from overheating or getting damp. 2. Do not turn on the ignition switch when the engine is not running. 3. Regularly inspect, clean, and tighten wiring connections to avoid short circuits or grounding. 4. Control engine performance to prevent excessive voltage. 5. Any moisture on the ignition coil should only be wiped off with a cloth; never use fire to dry it, as this could damage the ignition coil.

What are the components of a car's starting system?

The starting system of a car is generally composed of the car battery, ignition switch, starting relay, starter motor, and fuses. The introduction to the car's starting system is as follows: 1. The main function of the car's starting system is to convert the electrical energy from the battery into mechanical energy to start the vehicle. 2. The starter motor is primarily activated by external force. Currently, most starter motors on the market are electric starter motors, which are characterized by easy operation and relatively fast starting speed. 3. The starter motor generally requires sufficient torque because it needs to overcome the resistance from the engine to drive its operation. Therefore, the torque of the starter motor is one of the important criteria for judging its quality.

What does it mean when a car burns oil?

Burning oil means the car consumes more oil than usual compared to vehicles of the same price range and series. Below is relevant information about oil burning in cars: Causes of oil burning: 1. Poor fuel quality leads to carbon buildup, causing piston rings to get stuck by carbon deposits, preventing them from scraping oil and leaving oil in the cylinder. 2. Clogged oil return passages prevent oil from properly returning to the crankcase. 3. Excessive wear between cylinder walls and pistons, resulting in excessive clearance. 4. Corrosion and aging of valve stem seals and crankshaft seals, leading to oil leakage. 5. The most obvious symptom of oil burning is blue smoke from the exhaust pipe, along with significantly increased oil consumption, requiring frequent oil top-ups in short intervals. Oil burning in vehicles can lead to increased carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, reduced fuel economy and power performance, and excessive exhaust emissions.

Is Vehicle Annual Inspection Closed on Holidays?

Normal working hours apply, as the vehicle management office operates 365 days a year without closure. On weekends and holidays, basic services such as temporary license plates and license plate replacements can be processed, but vehicle registration services are not available. Vehicle Annual Inspection Period: The vehicle annual inspection period is calculated from the date of vehicle registration. The next inspection date will be clearly noted on the supplementary page of the driving license. Inspection applications can be submitted up to 3 months before the annual inspection date. Additionally, the 6-year exemption for new vehicles does not mean exemption from annual inspection. It refers to the exemption from the step of taking the vehicle to the inspection station for line testing, which is only one part of the annual inspection process. Owners still need to apply for the inspection mark every two years. Precautions Before Vehicle Annual Inspection: Before the annual inspection, it is necessary to ensure that all vehicle violation records have been processed. Vehicle modifications are not allowed. A copy of the insurance policy must be submitted during the inspection, and the copy will be retained by the inspection agency. Additionally, you need to bring the driving license, compulsory traffic accident liability insurance policy (copy), the inspector's ID card, a triangular warning sign, and a fire extinguisher. It is worth noting that if the owner is too busy to handle the annual inspection in person and needs someone else to do it on their behalf, the owner's ID card is not required. The person handling the annual inspection only needs to provide their own ID card.

Should You Press the Clutch and Brake When Starting the Engine?

Starting the engine requires pressing the clutch and brake. Relevant explanations are as follows: 1. Pressing the clutch when starting the car is for safety reasons. 2. Pressing the clutch can prolong the engine's lifespan. 3. If you don't press the clutch, although the engine can still start, it will increase the burden on the starter motor and amplify the current output from the battery, thereby affecting the engine's ignition performance. Things to note when driving a manual transmission car: 1. Do not press the clutch pedal when not shifting gears. 2. Finding the clutch engagement point is crucial when driving a manual car. When approaching the engagement point, release the clutch slowly while pressing the accelerator. 3. Coordinating the accelerator and clutch while driving should be adjusted according to the vehicle speed, as the driver's reaction time decreases inversely with increasing speed.
