French cars have often played a pioneering role in China's automotive industry, with Citroën as a representative, and the high-end model DS leading the trend. Here is relevant information about DS: 1. Hydropneumatic Suspension System: DS was the first car to use a hydropneumatic suspension system. Before this, people used springs for car shock absorption designs. This created a dilemma where a car's sportiness and comfort could not be balanced. With this groundbreaking technology, DS provided a feasible solution to this problem. 2. Transmission and Clutch: When the brake button is pressed, the engine speed is adjusted below the clutch engagement speed through brake hydraulic and circuit devices. This method prevents unnecessary gear wear when encountering a red light. When braking is released, the engine idle speed increases, engaging the clutch, allowing the car to move forward normally. In an era when most cars could only be equipped with fully manual transmissions, this design was undoubtedly full of fun and convenience.

What are the causes of insufficient cylinder pressure?

Causes of insufficient cylinder pressure include: 1. Wear of pistons, piston rings, and cylinder linings resulting in excessive clearance; 2. Damage or burning of cylinder gaskets, or loose cylinder head bolts; 3. Poor sealing between valves and seats, insufficient valve clearance, broken or weak valve springs, or stuck valves; 4. Deformation of cylinder heads or blocks leading to poor sealing; 5. Incorrect valve timing. A cylinder is a cylindrical chamber within an engine where a piston is driven by the pressure or expansion force of the working fluid. Some special engines may have non-cylindrical chambers. Common cylinder counts in automotive engines are 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12. With the same bore diameter, more cylinders mean greater displacement and higher power output. For the same displacement, more cylinders allow for smaller bore diameters, enabling higher engine speeds and greater power enhancement.

What are the plug-in hybrid vehicles with a range of 100 kilometers?

Common models include the BMW X1 New Energy and Li Xiang ONE. Below are the relevant introductions for these two vehicles: 1. BMW X1 New Energy: In terms of power, the X1 New Energy is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 1.5T turbocharged engine paired with an electric motor. The engine delivers 100 kW, while the electric motor outputs 70 kW, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The X1 New Energy has a pure electric range of 110 kilometers according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), a leading figure among plug-in hybrid models. Those who prioritize pure electric range may consider this model. 2. Li Xiang ONE: Although the Li Xiang ONE uses a range-extender system, its advantages are similar to those of a plug-in hybrid system—it qualifies as a new energy vehicle, eliminates range anxiety, and offers pure electric driving capability. Power-wise, the Li Xiang ONE employs a 1.2T turbocharged engine as a range extender, with dual motors delivering 240 kW and 530 Nm. The MIIT-rated pure electric range is 180 kilometers.

What is the braking principle of the handbrake?

It uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to brake the vehicle. Here is a related introduction to the handbrake: 1. Handbrake principle: The professional term for the handbrake is the auxiliary brake. Unlike the principle of the main brake, it uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to brake the vehicle. Long-term use of the handbrake will cause the steel cable to undergo plastic deformation. Since this deformation is irreversible, prolonged use will reduce its effectiveness, and the handbrake's travel distance will also increase. A return spring is used in conjunction with the handbrake. When the handbrake is engaged, the spring is stretched; when the handbrake is released, the spring returns to its original length. Long-term use of the handbrake will also cause corresponding deformation in the spring. 2. Necessity of correct use: The handbrake is a frequently used system. Proper and correct use can ensure smoother operation in the future, extend its adjustment cycle, and reduce maintenance and replacement costs.
