Haval Big Dog's two locks refer to the central differential lock + rear axle electronically controlled differential lock. The function of the two locks: In actual use, these two locks - the central differential lock + rear axle electronically controlled differential lock assist each other and complement each other. When dealing with complex road conditions, they simultaneously solve the problems of four-wheel speed synchronization and power wheel distribution, greatly improving the effective passability and safety when facing complex road conditions. The meaning of differential lock: A differential lock refers to when one drive wheel slips, locking the differential housing and the half-shaft into one unit, causing the differential to lose its differential function, allowing all torque to be transferred to the other drive wheel.

The two locks on the Haval Big Dog, in my opinion, refer to its differential lock system. Simply put, it makes all four wheels more powerful during off-roading. As a car enthusiast, I once drove a friend's Haval Big Dog for a mountain camping trip and used this feature. It includes front and rear axle locks. When you encounter slippery conditions like mud or snow, pressing a button locks the differential, evenly distributing power to all wheels, preventing the awkward situation where one wheel spins while another gets no power. This significantly improves the vehicle's off-road capability and safety, especially during outdoor adventures where getting stuck is a concern. I remember crossing a small river where other vehicles struggled, but the Big Dog handled it effortlessly while also reducing wear on the drivetrain. Maintenance is hassle-free—just occasional checks on the wiring. Overall, this design makes rugged SUVs more practical, perfect for those who love challenges.

As a seasoned driver with years of experience, let me talk about the Haval Big Dog's dual-lock system. It refers to the combination of a central and rear differential lock, which helps maintain vehicle stability in challenging road conditions. I've been through many off-road situations, like muddy rural roads on rainy days where tire slippage can be dangerous. But with the Big Dog's lock function, power is instantly locked, and all four wheels rotate synchronously, making climbing hills or crossing pits as steady as a rock. The operation is foolproof—just press the control button—but I'd advise against using it unnecessarily on flat paved roads to avoid damaging components. From my experience, it's also very user-friendly for new car owners; just make sure to regularly maintain the interfaces to prevent rust. Plus, the differential locks are cost-effective yet highly beneficial, reducing the risk of getting stuck and adding peace of mind for family trips.

From a simple understanding, the two differential locks on the Haval Big Dog are differential locking devices. I've studied automotive technology, and this design ensures that when one wheel slips, the other wheels can still receive power, preventing getting stuck. Specifically for the Haval Big Dog, it's usually equipped with central and rear locks, which are easy to operate—just press a button to instantly enhance off-road capability, making driving in snow more reliable. Maintenance is straightforward; just check that the wiring harness is functioning properly. The feature is safe and practical, and the price is more affordable compared to imported vehicles, making it suitable for daily use.

How to Interpret Tire Specification Parameters?

Tire model specifications can be found on the sidewall (tread pattern model). The tire specification size is expressed in millimeters as the section width and the percentage of the aspect ratio. This is followed by: tire type code, rim diameter (in inches), load index (allowable load mass code), and allowable vehicle speed code. The influence of tire specifications on other indices is as follows: 1. The width of the tire is an important index affecting the vehicle's fuel consumption and economic performance. The wider the tire, the larger the contact area with the ground, and the corresponding fuel consumption increases. 2. Aspect ratio: The lower the aspect ratio of a car tire, the greater the pressure it can withstand, the higher the responsiveness, making it very quick to handle, but it requires a high level of elasticity and softness from the shock absorbers.
