The differences between the on-the-road price and the ex-factory price of a car mainly lie in three aspects: included costs, definition standards, and influencing factors. Below are the specific details: 1. Included Costs: Ex-Factory Price: Refers to the price of purchasing the car itself, excluding any other fees. Generally, the manufacturer's suggested retail price (or the retail price minus market discounts, sometimes with additional markups for popular models) is the ex-factory price. On-the-Road Price: The total cost of purchasing the car and all necessary legal expenses to drive it, including purchase tax, insurance, vehicle and vessel tax, license plate fees, etc. 2. Different Definition Standards: Ex-Factory Price: The 4S store sets the ex-factory price based on the manufacturer's suggested retail price. On-the-Road Price: Generally, the on-the-road price = ex-factory price + insurance + purchase tax + license plate fees, etc. If there is a mortgage loan, mortgage handling fees will also be included. 3. Different Influencing Factors: Ex-Factory Price: Affected by various factors such as launch time, region, etc. On-the-Road Price: Influenced by the ex-factory price, car displacement, and selected insurance types.

Can an automatic transmission coast in D gear?

An automatic transmission can coast in D gear. In fact, for automatic transmission vehicles, coasting can only be done in D gear. Coasting in N gear may damage the transmission, and other gears are not suitable for coasting at all. When going downhill, it is recommended to use the restricted gears 2 or 1. Although the engine speed may be higher, fuel-injected vehicles do not supply fuel in this state, making it a fuel-saving condition. An automatic transmission generally refers to a car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the control system of the automatic transmission selects the appropriate gear based on the engine speed and load during driving, replacing the driver's subjective judgment and gear-shifting operations. A typical automatic transmission car has six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L.

What is the method for connecting a dash cam to the fuse box?

Method for connecting a dash cam to the fuse box: After locating the fuse box inside the vehicle, use a flat-head screwdriver to pry open the fuse box cover. Use the small clip inside the cover to remove the fuse. Connect the positive wire of the power cable to the positive wire of the voltage reducer using a connector. After connecting the positive wire of the voltage reducer, connect the negative wire of the voltage reducer to the ground wire fork, and secure it to a metal screw inside the vehicle. Most car owners directly plug their dash cams into the cigarette lighter socket, which is a quick and straightforward method, but the downside is that the cigarette lighter socket will be occupied for a long time. Besides plugging directly into the cigarette lighter socket, you can also connect the dash cam by drawing power from the fuse box.

Which country is Brembo from?

Brembo is from Italy. It is a high-performance braking system manufacturer originating from Italy, primarily producing products such as brake calipers and brake discs. The braking system is a crucial component of a vehicle, directly impacting its driving stability and safety. A car's braking system mainly consists of a vacuum booster pump, master brake cylinder, wheel brake cylinder, brake pads, and brake discs. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the master brake cylinder pushes the wheel brake cylinder through brake fluid, which in turn forces the brake pads to clamp onto the brake discs, thereby slowing down the vehicle. The wheel brake cylinder is commonly referred to as the brake caliper, which contains pistons inside. The vacuum booster pump serves an assistive function, helping the driver to press the brake pedal with ease.

What do S and L gears mean?

S and L gears refer to Sport mode and Low gear. The S gear shifts at higher RPMs compared to normal mode, resulting in sharper power performance. The L gear is generally used when climbing steep slopes or descending long continuous slopes at high speeds, equivalent to the low-speed gear in a manual transmission. An automatic transmission typically refers to a car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the control system of the automatic transmission selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load during driving, replacing the driver's subjective judgment of timing and gear-shifting operations. Common automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. The commonly used automatic gear positions are Park (P), Reverse (R), Neutral (N), and Drive (D).
