There is little difference between mountain hazardous road and cliffside road for vehicles, as both are a type of traffic sign representing the same concept. Below is a detailed introduction about mountain hazardous road and cliffside road signs: Mountain hazardous road sign: The mountain hazardous road sign is a traffic sign placed at an appropriate location before a dangerous mountainous section (where the outer side of the road is a steep cliff or hazardous drop). Cliffside road sign: The cliffside road sign is essentially the mountain hazardous road sign, which is positioned at a suitable spot before a perilous mountainous section (where the outer side of the road features steep cliffs or hazardous drops).

Speaking of this, I've driven on many mountain roads myself and have deep personal experience. Cliffside roads are those that run right along the mountains, often with risks of landslides or falling rocks from the slopes beside you. You have to be on guard against rocks falling from above, and sometimes the turns are sharp with poor visibility, making it quite exhausting to drive. As for cliff-edge roads, to put it plainly, they're narrow paths right next to steep cliffs. When the driver looks out the window, all they see are deep valleys, and one sharp turn could easily send you tumbling down—it's really nerve-wracking. The biggest difference between the two is the source of danger: cliffside roads might bury you under the mountain, while cliff-edge roads mean a vertical drop. Before tackling such roads, I always check the brakes and tire pressure, try to drive during the day, and avoid venturing out at night—safety comes first. If there's strong wind or heavy fog, it's best to find a spot to pull over and wait for better weather.

What are the effects of a high clutch?

The effects of a high clutch: 1. It is prone to cause clutch slippage, especially noticeable on bumpy roads and when driving heavy vehicles uphill; 2. It makes operation more tiring, leading to excessive foot lifting which can cause left foot soreness. The effects of a low clutch: 1. Incomplete clutch disengagement—the clutch pedal must be fully depressed when shifting gears, otherwise, it will cause noise from the gearbox and accelerate wear on the gearbox gears; 2. During frequent gear shifting, slight carelessness can result in noise, affecting driving. The clutch is located within the flywheel housing between the engine and the gearbox. The clutch assembly is secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the gearbox. While driving, the driver can depress or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily disconnect or gradually engage the engine with the gearbox, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power from the engine to the gearbox.

What is the fuel consumption of the BJ80?

BJ80's fuel consumption varies depending on the model. Taking the Beijing BJ80 2019 2.3T Automatic Shengshi Huazhang Edition as an example, its official combined fuel consumption is 11.2 liters per 100 kilometers. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value measured by the manufacturer in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the vehicle's chassis, converted into speed parameters, and then calculated under specified speed conditions to derive the theoretical experimental fuel consumption data for the model. In terms of power, the Beijing BJ80 2019 2.3T Automatic Shengshi Huazhang Edition is equipped with a 2.3-liter inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a cast iron structure, delivering a maximum power of 170 kW and a maximum torque of 345 Nm. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission and features a front-engine, four-wheel-drive configuration.

How to Solve the Problem of Truck Brake Locking?

Truck brake locking solutions: 1. Force start, increase throttle until the rear wheels move; 2. Remove the tire, use a hammer or similar tool to tap the brake drum a couple of times to loosen the contact surface between the brake drum and the brake pads. Reasons for truck brake locking: 1. Water ingress in the braking system; 2. Insufficient stiffness of the brake disc; 3. Improper fit of the brake pads. Methods to prevent truck brake locking: 1. After washing the car or when the brake drum gets wet in the rain, do not park immediately. Drive for a while and apply the brakes a few times to allow the moisture to evaporate, or when parking, do not use the handbrake. For manual transmissions, engage first gear, and for automatic transmissions, engage P gear; 2. Apply intermittent braking instead of slamming the brakes all the way, which not only wears out the tires but also makes it harder to stop.

Is N Gear for Forward Movement?

N gear is not for forward movement; it is the neutral gear of a vehicle. The neutral gear is used during temporary stops and when the vehicle is being towed. It is a unique gear for automatic transmission models. It is important to note that you should never shift to N gear when coasting downhill in a motor vehicle. The gears of an automatic transmission model include D gear (drive gear) for forward movement, N gear (neutral gear), R gear (reverse gear), P gear (parking gear), S gear (sport mode), and L gear (low-speed mode). Since automatic transmission models lack a clutch pedal, acceleration can be achieved simply by controlling the throttle. Additionally, in sport mode and manual mode, free gear shifting can be performed. When driving an automatic transmission model, you only need to press the vehicle's brake pedal to shift gears, reducing the frequency of manual gear shifting and effectively decreasing driver fatigue.
