Differences between 3-cylinder and 4-cylinder engines: 1. Different number of cylinders: A 3-cylinder engine has three cylinders; a 4-cylinder engine has four cylinders. 2. Different ignition intervals: The firing order for a 3-cylinder engine is 1, 3, 2, with an ignition interval of 240 degrees; the firing order for a 4-cylinder engine is 1, 3, 4, 2, with an ignition interval of 180 degrees. A 3-cylinder engine consists of three cylinders arranged in a single block, sharing a common crankshaft to output power, primarily converting chemical energy into mechanical energy. A 4-cylinder engine, also known as a four-cylinder engine, is a machine that converts one form of energy into another more useful form of energy.

Why should low beam headlights be used when driving straight through an intersection at night?

Using low beam headlights when driving straight through an intersection at night, specific information is as follows: 1. When passing through an intersection controlled by traffic lights at night, use low beam headlights: When driving straight through an intersection at night, according to past traffic regulations, it was required to alternately switch between high and low beams. However, the new regulations now stipulate that using low beam headlights is sufficient. 2. Intersections without traffic light control: However, when encountering an uncontrolled intersection without traffic lights, it is still necessary to reduce speed and alternately use high and low beams to signal. In case of a vehicle breakdown on the road at night where the vehicle is difficult to move, the headlights should be turned off, and the width indicator lights and hazard warning lights should be turned on.
