The ground clearance of the Edge is 160mm. The minimum ground clearance of the Edge refers to the distance between the lowest point (excluding the wheels) and the supporting plane, which indicates the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as rocks and tree stumps without collision. A higher ground clearance of the Edge improves its off-road capability, but if the ground clearance is too high, the stability at high speeds will decrease. The Ford Edge is a mid-to-large SUV model built on Ford's global mid-size car platform. The first-generation imported Ford Edge made its debut in China on September 15, 2010. The Edge has body dimensions of 4878x1925x1734mm and a wheelbase of 2850mm. Generally, the ground clearance of sedans ranges between 110mm and 150mm, while SUVs have a ground clearance between 200mm and 250mm. However, the Edge's ground clearance is not static; it also depends on the load condition. Therefore, changes in ground clearance should be considered based on the Edge's load variations. When selecting a vehicle, ground clearance can be one of the reference factors. The choice should depend on the vehicle's intended use and road conditions. For urban driving with good road surfaces, a vehicle with lower ground clearance can enhance stability and comfort. If the vehicle is frequently used in remote areas or on poor road conditions, a higher ground clearance may be preferred for better off-road performance to avoid undercarriage scrapes or damage.

How to Drive During the Car Break-in Period?

Driving methods during the car break-in period: 1. Pre-heat the cold engine. Proper warm-up allows the engine oil to achieve better lubrication inside the engine, reducing wear; 2. Shift gears promptly while driving, especially for manual transmission vehicles. During the break-in period, it's necessary to change gears appropriately to avoid driving at high gears with low RPM or low gears with high RPM; 3. Timely maintenance is required during the break-in phase. When driving a new car, the owner needs to familiarize themselves with aspects such as the car's brakes, accelerator, suspension, steering force, and gear-shifting logic. Understanding the car's characteristics is crucial for safe driving.

What is the actual range of the BYD Dolphin?

BYD Dolphin's actual range varies across three different models: 301 kilometers, 401 kilometers, and 405 kilometers. Definition of range: Range refers to the total distance a vehicle or ship can travel continuously with maximum fuel reserves. For electric vehicles, the driving range is the distance traveled from a fully charged state of the power battery to the end of the test under standard conditions, serving as a crucial economic indicator for EVs. Two versions of BYD Dolphin: Two versions with distinct exterior styles and varying body lengths: 4070×1770×1570mm with a 2700mm wheelbase, and 4125×1770×1570mm also with a 2700mm wheelbase.

What do the numbers and letters on tires represent?

The numbers and letters on tires represent the following: Taking 225/60R1799H as an example: 225 represents the section width, 60 represents the aspect ratio, R represents the tire type code, 17 represents the rim diameter (indicating the tire is suitable for 17-inch rims), 99 represents the load index of the tire, and H represents the speed rating (the maximum speed the tire can withstand). Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery for ground rolling, usually installed on metal rims. They support the vehicle body, cushion external impacts, ensure contact with the road surface, and guarantee the driving performance of the vehicle.

What Happens If the Antifreeze Is Overfilled?

Overfilling antifreeze can cause it to expand due to heat during vehicle operation and overflow from the pressure relief valve. If the reservoir cap does not seal properly, a significant amount of antifreeze may leak outside the vehicle, leading to a shortage of antifreeze. Excessive antifreeze does not have a major impact on the cooling system, as the system is equipped with a pressure regulation device. After the engine starts and the coolant temperature rises, the antifreeze will expand due to thermal expansion and overflow from the relief valve. This is not harmful but may leave stains after drying. Antifreeze offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and corrosion year-round. It is widely used in automotive internal combustion engines, ships, and other mechanical equipment.

Do hybrid vehicles require charging?

Hybrid vehicles do not require charging. Here are the reasons: 1. No charging equipment: The 'electricity' in hybrid power technology is not 'charged' from external charging facilities, and hybrid vehicles simply don't have charging equipment. 2. Hybrid system: When the vehicle doesn't require high power from the engine, part of the engine's power is used to generate electricity and stored in the battery. Additionally, the kinetic energy reduced during vehicle deceleration and braking is converted into electrical energy and stored in the battery through a process called 'regenerative braking'. This is the source of the 'electricity' in hybrid dual-power technology.

What are the pros and cons of installing lowering springs on a car?

Installing lowering springs on a car has the following advantages and disadvantages: 1. Advantages: The vehicle's ground clearance is reduced, significantly improving stability at high speeds. Lowering springs generally have a higher damping coefficient, which effectively suppresses body roll during cornering and lane changes, allowing for faster and more stable turns. 2. Disadvantages: After installing lowering springs, the ground clearance decreases by 3-4 cm, reducing the vehicle's ability to navigate obstacles. Extra caution is required when entering underground parking or going over speed bumps. The suspension becomes stiffer, reducing comfort, especially when driving over rough roads where the bumpiness is noticeably increased.
