Supercharging refers to the use of engine power to drive a Roots compressor, compressing air through the engine's own power. Below is relevant knowledge about supercharging: Principle of Supercharging: The driving force of the supercharger compressor comes from the engine crankshaft, generally utilizing a belt connected to the crankshaft pulley to indirectly transfer the crankshaft's torque to the supercharger, achieving the purpose of boosting. Function of Supercharging: Increasing the engine's air intake, thereby enhancing the engine's power and torque. The main function of turbocharging is to increase the engine's air intake, thus improving the engine's power and torque, making the car more powerful. After installing a turbocharger, the maximum power of an engine can increase by 40% or more compared to when it is not equipped with a supercharger.

Is the Expressway Toll-Free?

Expressways are generally not toll-free. In 2020, the toll-free periods for expressways were during four national statutory holidays: the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Labor Day, and National Day, as well as the consecutive rest days for these holidays as specified in the documents issued by the General Office of the State Council that year. For ordinary highways, the toll is determined by the time the vehicle passes through the toll lane at the toll station, while for expressways, it is determined by the time the vehicle exits the toll lane at the exit. According to regulations, the toll-free policy applies to passenger vehicles with seven seats or fewer (including seven seats), meaning not all vehicles are eligible for toll-free expressway travel. An expressway is defined as a highway that can accommodate an annual average daily traffic volume of over 25,000 passenger cars, is exclusively designed for high-speed travel with divided lanes, and has fully controlled access.

What is the MIL light?

MIL stands for Malfunction-Indicator-Lamp, which represents the engine fault light. When the general OBD fault indicator light is on, the ECU will use some pre-set data to temporarily replace the faulty data. As a result, the car will operate based on "false data," which may affect many normal operations. Common engine faults in cars can be summarized as follows: 1. Engine stall fault: During engine operation, the speed fluctuates irregularly, a phenomenon known as engine stalling, and the fault is referred to as an engine stall fault. 2. Engine failure to start: Symptom: Turn the ignition switch to the start position, but the engine fails to start.

Can a 7-Seater Business Vehicle Accommodate 8 People?

A 7-seater business vehicle cannot accommodate 8 people as it would be considered overloading. Hazards of Overloading: Vehicle overloading severely damages road infrastructure; increased load mass leads to greater inertia, longer braking distances, and heightened risks. Drivers operating overloaded vehicles often experience increased psychological stress and pressure, making them prone to operational errors, compromising driving safety, and potentially causing traffic accidents. Penalties for Overloading: For passenger vehicles other than buses or school buses, carrying passengers exceeding the approved capacity by less than 20% results in a 3-point penalty; for buses (excluding public buses) or school buses carrying passengers exceeding the approved capacity by less than 20%, or other passenger vehicles exceeding the approved capacity by 20% or more, a 6-point penalty is imposed.

Is it okay to run the air conditioner while charging a new energy vehicle?

New energy vehicles can run the air conditioner while charging, but doing so will consume electricity and fuel, reducing the driving range and making it more difficult to climb slopes. Here are some relevant introductions about new energy vehicles: 1. Introduction one: New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources or conventional vehicle fuels with new types of on-board power devices, integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving to form vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and new structures. 2. Introduction two: New energy vehicles include four major types: hybrid electric vehicles, pure electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles, and other new energy vehicles. The promotion of new energy vehicles is aimed at addressing environmental protection and oil crisis needs, reducing or abandoning the current mainstream models that burn traditional gasoline or diesel to drive internal combustion engines.

Can a dash cam continue recording after the car is turned off?

If the dash cam is equipped with a parking monitoring function, it can continue recording after the vehicle is turned off. However, the recording time is not long since the dash cam is not being charged when the vehicle is off. There are two types of parking monitoring functions for dash cams: one is continuous recording, and the other is short-term recording that only activates when the vehicle detects vibrations. The main functions of a dash cam are as follows: 1. Preventing fraud: In cases where accident evidence is unclear or the accident scene is disrupted, the dash cam can retain valid video as evidence. 2. Dealing with minor collisions: The dash cam can provide direct and reliable video evidence, allowing both drivers to quickly leave the scene without waiting for traffic police for a long time, thus avoiding road congestion. 3. Encountering sudden road conditions: The dash cam can also provide solid evidence and news leads. 4. Serving as a parking monitor: When connected to a direct power supply, the dash cam can function as a parking monitor.
