There are several differences between rear-wheel drive and full-time four-wheel drive: 1. Different functions: Full-time four-wheel drive means that the vehicle is independently driven by all four wheels at all times. Rear-wheel drive means that the rear wheels of the car have power. 2. Different principles: Full-time four-wheel drive distributes driving force to all four tires through a flexibly connected central differential and independent front and rear axle differentials. Rear-wheel drive uses computers and various continuously improved sensors to constantly judge the dynamic adhesion of the tires to the ground and the driver's intentions, actively controlling the differential state of the car's differential to balance the driving force of each wheel and optimize the car's performance.

What are the main components of a typical torque converter?

A torque converter consists of three main components: the impeller (pump), the turbine, and the stator. Here's a detailed introduction to each part: 1. Impeller (Pump): The impeller is integrated with the torque converter housing, which is bolted to the flywheel. Since the flywheel is connected to the crankshaft, the impeller always rotates together with the crankshaft. 2. Turbine: The turbine is splined to the transmission input shaft. It contains numerous curved blades, with their curvature direction opposite to that of the impeller blades. 3. Stator: Located between the impeller and turbine, the stator is mounted on the guide shaft connected to the automatic transmission housing via a one-way clutch.

Is Car Film Applied to the Entire Vehicle?

Car film can be applied to the entire vehicle, but it is not necessary to cover every part. Here are some relevant introductions about car film: 1. Parts that can be left uncovered: For the driver and front passenger windows, a portion near the front of the car can be left without film to prevent reduced visibility at night due to excessive light blockage. 2. Optional coverage: You can choose the extent of film application based on your financial situation. 3. Introduction to car film: Car film can be divided into two categories. One is automotive glass film, applied to car windows to control sunlight. Its basic features include safety, clarity, anti-glare, UV protection, heat insulation, scratch resistance, sufficient shelf life, and privacy protection. The other is car color-changing film, introduced by AAA Company as a new product from the American STI, with basic features including personalized decoration, paint protection, and ease of cleaning.

Child Safety Lock Symbol?

Child safety lock symbols are mostly represented by a child figure inside a circle with hands raised upwards. Related introduction: 1. Introduction: The child safety lock is an active safety device designed to ensure the safety of child passengers. If the child safety lock is engaged, the central locking system's electric unlock function will also be disabled. The door can only be opened from the outside, and the interior door handle will temporarily become non-functional. 2. Switch types: Currently, there are two types of child safety lock switches in cars: rotary knob type and toggle type. Comparatively, the toggle-type child safety lock is easier to operate, while the rotary knob-type is slightly more complicated but offers higher safety. For central locking systems or automatic locking while driving, they do improve rear-seat child safety to some extent. However, it should be noted that these can be unlocked via interior switches, so they are not foolproof. Therefore, engaging the child safety lock ensures worry-free driving.

What kind of gas do taxis refuel with?

Taxis refuel with CNG (Compressed Natural Gas). Related information: 1. Introduction: CNG can be sourced not only from natural gas fields and oil fields but also from artificially produced biogas. Some city buses also run on this type of gas. LNG is Liquefied Natural Gas, which turns into CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) after vaporization. 2. Precautions: During refueling, the pressure in the gas cylinder increases from low to high, posing certain risks. When refueling at a gas station, all electrical equipment and the engine should be turned off to prevent sparks caused by static electricity or short circuits in the car's electrical system, which could lead to explosions. It is advisable for CNG-powered vehicles to carry a fire extinguisher, as it can be very useful in emergencies. In summer, avoid keeping flammable or explosive items, such as lighters, in the cabin.
