Base model refers to the lowest configuration version of a car, which lacks features such as leather seats, power windows, safety devices, and many electronic control functions. Car versions are mainly differentiated by configurations, including engine displacement, presence of a sunroof, leather seats, number of airbags, and navigation features. Other versions of cars include: 1. Standard Model: Includes basic electric control configurations like power windows, power steering, and air conditioning; 2. Mid-range Model: Slightly more advanced than the standard model, adding features like additional airbags, a sunroof, leather seats, power seats, and seat heating; 3. High-end Model: The highest configuration available, serving as the flagship version of the model.

Can China VI Vehicles Use Non-Standard Gasoline?

China VI vehicles cannot use non-standard gasoline. Gasoline Quality: Good gasoline should be transparent or semi-transparent light yellow in color. If the color is too dark, it indicates the presence of more impurities such as sulfur. The stronger the gasoline smell, the worse the quality. If you can smell a strong gasoline odor or even a pungent smell immediately after opening the bottle cap, it suggests the gasoline contains excessive sulfur and is of poor quality. Identification Methods: Vehicles that have been using genuine standard gasoline may produce abnormal noises after running for a while with blended gasoline. The exhaust emissions from vehicles using blended gasoline may also differ from usual, appearing whiter or darker, or having an unusual odor. Normal gasoline should be clear and transparent, light-colored or even colorless. Gasoline that is cloudy, white, or dark in color may indicate quality issues.

What is the Difference Between Automatic and Semi-Automatic Transmission?

Automatic and semi-automatic transmissions differ in their modes: automatic transmission only has an automatic mode, while semi-automatic transmission includes both automatic and manual modes. Automatic transmission typically refers to a car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the control system of the automatic transmission selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load during driving. A standard automatic transmission car has six gear positions, from top to bottom: P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), S (Sport), and L (Low). The commonly used automatic gear positions are P (Park), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), and D (Drive). Semi-automatic transmission combines manual and automatic gear-shifting methods. This type of transmission allows high-performance sports cars to break free from the constraints of traditional automatic transmissions, enabling drivers to enjoy the fun of manual shifting. These cars have '+' and '-' gear selection options. When in D (Drive) mode, drivers can freely shift down (-) or up (+), similar to a manual transmission.

What does BSM mean for cars?

BSM in cars stands for Blind Spot Monitoring system, also known as Lane Change Assist system. It is designed to prevent scratches and collisions caused by unseen vehicles when changing lanes during driving. The BSM system has two sensors located inside the left and right rear fenders of the vehicle. These sensors emit specific radar waves while driving to monitor the situation of vehicles approaching from behind. When a vehicle is detected in the blind spot, the BSM warning light on the corresponding side mirror illuminates to alert the driver, helping to avoid potential hazards caused by blind spots. The Blind Spot Monitoring system effectively addresses blind spot issues during lane changes. This system utilizes radar sensors hidden on both sides of the rear bumper to continuously monitor the area approximately 20 meters behind the vehicle. Once a vehicle or obstacle is detected within the driver's blind spot, it immediately sends an alert to the receiver installed on the edge of the side mirror, reducing the likelihood of collisions when changing lanes.

What are the precautions for oncoming traffic driving?

The precautions for oncoming traffic driving are: 1. Pay attention to traffic signals and signs when encountering oncoming traffic; 2. When visibility is poor, reduce speed in advance and drive with low beams on; 3. Avoid using emergency braking, suddenly releasing the accelerator, or abruptly turning the steering wheel during oncoming traffic; 4. Avoid encountering oncoming traffic at obstacle locations; 5. Avoid encountering oncoming traffic at complex locations such as narrow bridges, narrow roads, tunnels, and sharp turns; 6. Avoid not turning off high beams when encountering oncoming traffic at night; 7. When driving on roads without a centerline, if an oncoming vehicle overtakes at close range, slow down and keep to the right, being prepared to stop at any time. If the other vehicle forcibly occupies the lane, yield the lane as much as possible or even stop to give way.

Can small round mirrors be attached to heated rearview mirrors?

Small round mirrors can be attached to heated rearview mirrors. Heating function: The rear window heating function can defog and defrost. The heating wires behind the mirror quickly heat the mirror surface, gradually removing rain or fog from the mirror, eliminating the need for drivers to frequently wipe the mirrors manually, thereby reducing driving hazards. Working principle: The working principle of electrically heated rearview mirrors is very simple and the cost is not very high. It involves installing an electric heating element (heating film) inside the mirror of both side rearview mirrors. During rainy or snowy weather, when the driver turns on the rearview mirror heating function, the heating element will quickly heat up to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, usually between 35-60 degrees Celsius, thereby heating the mirror surface to defog and defrost, providing great convenience for drivers.
