Car front bumper energy absorption block is designed to absorb and cushion the impact energy during frontal collisions. Materials used in vehicle energy absorption zones: Almost all vehicle body structures are composed of thin-walled metal components. During collisions, these thin-walled members subjected to strong impacts will undergo plastic deformation, which inherently accompanies the absorption of collision energy. Therefore, the crash performance design of vehicle structures largely depends on the crash performance design of thin-walled components. Principle and function of energy absorption blocks: The principle of energy absorption blocks is to utilize the deformation of the object itself to dissipate impact energy. Their function is to absorb the impact energy generated during collisions, protect passengers, and cushion the impact force.

How to Cancel the 30 km/h Speed Limit on Volkswagen Jetta?

Methods to cancel the 30 km/h speed limit on Volkswagen Jetta: 1. Locate the multifunctional instrument button at the end of the wiper switch. TR is for scrolling up, IP is for scrolling down, and there is a confirmation button at the lower corner of the middle section, labeled as OK, RESEY in English; 2. Press the scroll-up button (TR) to find the speed limit reminder interface. A small circle with "hours, kilometers" in the upper left corner of the dashboard indicates this; 3. Press the OK button twice to cancel the speed limit prompt. Three horizontal bars displayed in the middle indicate successful cancellation. Jetta is a car brand under FAW-Volkswagen Automotive Co., Ltd., a joint venture of the German Volkswagen Group in China. The structure of Jetta (including the later Vento/Bora) is essentially a Golf with an added rear trunk. Jetta can be considered a derivative model of the Golf.

Can a Ferrari Use 95 Octane Gasoline?

Ferrari models cannot use 95 octane gasoline because its stability is insufficient. Using 95 octane gasoline may cause engine knocking, which is an abnormal combustion phenomenon. Knocking can lead to reduced engine power, increased fuel consumption, and in severe cases, may even cause connecting rod deformation or piston fracture. High-performance supercar engines require 98 octane gasoline, and some supercar engines even need 102 octane racing fuel. One of Ferrari's classic models is the 250 California, designed by Pininfarina and primarily constructed with steel featuring aluminum open panels, manufactured by Scaglietti in Modena. In terms of the engine, this car is equipped with a 3-liter V12 engine with single overhead camshafts per cylinder bank. The factory reference numbers are 128C and 128D, with a displacement of 2953cc, bore and stroke of 73mm by 58.8mm, spark plugs located on the inner side of the V-cylinder block, sharing the same basic specifications as the contemporary Berlinetta.

Where are the drainage holes located on the Mercedes-Benz C180?

Mercedes-Benz C180 sunroof drainage holes are distributed at the four corners of the sunroof assembly. Principle: Vehicle drainage holes are outlets designed to drain accumulated water from the vehicle during rainy days, featuring very simple principles and structures. Hazards of clogged drainage holes: Once the vehicle's drainage holes are clogged, the drainage speed of accumulated water inside the vehicle will slow down, eventually leading to a large amount of water being stored inside the vehicle. Some of this water may flow along the drainage pipes into the interior, eroding the upholstery and instruments. Another portion of the water in the engine compartment may overflow the seals and seep into the engine bay, potentially causing damage to mechanical components and the engine's electrical system in severe cases. Cleaning drainage holes: It is necessary to regularly clean debris near the drainage outlets. When cleaning hidden hoses such as those for the sunroof and other interior components, avoid using hard objects like wire for unclogging to prevent these objects from causing hose rupture or detachment.

Does the Teana have power-folding mirrors?

The Teana has power-folding mirrors. The method to set the automatic mirror tilt function for the Teana is as follows: 1. Power on the vehicle without starting the engine (press the start button without depressing the brake pedal). 2. Set the memory seats to positions 1, 2, or 3 and select the appropriate seat position. 3. Select the side mirror you wish to set by pressing the mirror adjustment selection button (left or right). 4. With the brake depressed, shift into R (Reverse) gear - the selected mirror will automatically tilt to the factory preset position. 5. Use the 4-way adjustment buttons to set the mirror to your desired position. 6. Press and hold the seat memory button (1, 2, or 3) for about 2 seconds - hold the button corresponding to your chosen memory position. 7. Shift into P (Park) gear while depressing the brake, then press the mirror adjustment selection button once more to complete the setup.

What Speed Ratio is Suitable for 460 Horsepower?

The default standard speed ratio is 3.7, with an optional ratio of 3.364. Below is relevant information about speed ratios: 1. Optimal Speed Ratio: The rear axle of a truck (tractor) is the drive axle. Both 3.0 and 3.7 speed ratios have their advantages. Whether a different speed ratio saves fuel depends on its optimal operating conditions. The drive axle also functions as a reduction mechanism. With the same transmission, a drive axle with a 3.0 speed ratio is closer to the transmission output speed than one with a 3.7 ratio, meaning higher RPMs in the same gear. During vehicle operation, under ideal conditions—standard load, flat roads, and stable cargo—the power output is high-speed and stable, with higher vehicle speed and lower torque. In such cases, a rear axle with a 3.0 speed ratio is more fuel-efficient. 2. Classification: The transmission ratio in a vehicle's drivetrain can be divided into two types: the speed ratio of the main reducer and the speed ratio of the transmission. In the same vehicle model, the speed ratio of the main reducer is fixed, while the speed ratio of the transmission varies depending on the gear used.

What Type of Dual-Clutch Transmission Does the Volkswagen Tharu Use?

Whether the Volkswagen Tharu uses a dry or wet dual-clutch transmission depends on the specific model. Differences: The 1.4T models of the Volkswagen Tharu are equipped with a dry dual-clutch transmission, while the 2.0T models use a wet dual-clutch transmission. Regardless of whether it's dry or wet, the transmission principles are essentially the same, with two clutches taking turns to work. Dry Dual-Clutch: The dry clutch's driving and driven discs are connected via air, and the clutch plates of the dry dual-clutch transmission directly contact the engine flywheel. This connection method offers high transmission efficiency. However, the downside is that it is prone to overheating, and if the clutch operates for long periods at low speeds or in a semi-engaged state, its lifespan can be significantly reduced. Wet Dual-Clutch: The wet dual-clutch's driving and driven discs are connected via oil, meaning the clutch plates are immersed in transmission fluid. Compared to the dry dual-clutch transmission, the wet dual-clutch offers better heat dissipation, improved reliability and stability, and can handle higher torque.
