The role of a car's suspension: to transmit forces and torque between the wheels and the frame, and to cushion the impact from uneven road surfaces transmitted to the frame or body, as well as to dampen the resulting vibrations, ensuring smooth driving. The suspension system is the general term for all force-transmitting connection devices between the car's frame and the axle or wheels. Modern car suspension systems are mostly ECAS systems, which are mainstream suspension systems from Europe. They utilize electronic control systems to significantly improve the performance of traditional air suspension systems, enabling the car to achieve active adjustment and control under various road conditions and operating conditions, while also adding many auxiliary functions.

The Q5's oil dipstick is an electronic one, which can be found in the central control system. The function of the oil dipstick is to measure the static oil level height, indicating whether the engine oil level is within a reasonable range. Conventional oil dipsticks typically have clear upper and lower limits, and you just need to ensure that the detected oil level is between these two marks. The Q5 is a well-equipped urban luxury SUV from the Audi series, with dimensions of 4629mm in length, 1898mm in width, and 1655mm in height.

Is a Car Key Still Usable After Getting Wet?

Car keys that have fallen into water can still be used. Here are detailed instructions for dealing with a wet car key: 1.

Repair options: The exterior of car remote keys is generally made of waterproof material, but there are gaps between the keys. If the above methods fail to revive the wet key, it will need to be taken to a repair shop or 4S store for replacement or repair.

How to Clear the Yellow Engine Light After Annual Inspection?

After the annual inspection, the yellow engine light may be triggered due to rough driving by the inspection personnel rather than an actual vehicle malfunction. Simply disconnecting the negative terminal of the vehicle's battery can clear this warning. Below are the common reasons for the yellow engine light under normal circumstances: 1. Fuel supply system issues: The fuel supply system mainly includes the fuel tank, fuel pump, pipelines, fuel filter, carbon canister, carbon canister solenoid valve, fuel pressure regulator, and fuel injectors. 2. Poor fuel quality: Fuel quality is the primary factor causing the engine light to illuminate. The anti-knock property of gasoline is indicated by its octane rating—the higher the octane number, the better the anti-knock performance. 3. Poor combustion state: Poor engine combustion is the main reason for the engine light to turn on. In automotive design, to ensure the engine operates in optimal condition and maintains a normal working lifespan, an oxygen sensor is installed to monitor the engine's combustion state.

What to Do When Your Car Is Blocked and the Owner Refuses to Move It?

Methods to handle a situation where your car is blocked and the owner refuses to move it: 1. Tell a white lie: If the owner claims to be in a hurry and unable to move the car, or if the owner's attitude is very rude, avoid any arguments and think of alternative solutions. For example, tell the owner that there is a scratch on the car. Most car owners cannot tolerate any damage to their vehicles, so the blocking owner will likely come to check the car immediately. 2. Call the traffic management hotline 12123: You can call the dedicated traffic management hotline. Simply provide the license plate number of the blocking car to the operator, and they will contact the owner to move the car as soon as possible. 3. Call the police directly: In this case, you can directly call the traffic police to have the car towed. Since the blocked car is severely affecting traffic on the road, if the traffic police cannot contact the owner upon arrival, they will have no choice but to tow the car. The owner may later find their car missing when trying to retrieve it, which is entirely their own fault.
