The function of a shock absorber is to enable the vehicle to drive smoothly. Shock absorber knowledge: 1. Definition: It rapidly attenuates the vibration between the frame and the body, improving the smoothness and comfort of the vehicle. The device installed in the vehicle's suspension system is called a shock absorber. 2. Working principle: The principle involves filling a cylinder drilled with small holes and containing a piston with pressurized oil. When the spring vibrates, the oil is forced to flow through the small holes, thereby providing a damping effect. The size of the hole diameter determines the extent of the damping effect. If the hole diameter is smaller, the damping effect is stronger, resulting in higher vehicle stability; conversely, the ride comfort is improved.

What are the differences between the Mercedes-Benz GLA and GLB?

The two models differ in powertrain, exterior design, dimensions, and safety configurations: 1. In terms of size, the GLA is smaller than the GLB, with the GLB offering more space and even a seven-seat version as an option. 2. Regarding the drivetrain, all Mercedes-Benz GLB models are front-wheel drive, while the Mercedes-Benz GLA, at the 300,000 RMB level, features an on-demand all-wheel-drive system. Models with all-wheel drive are clearly more advanced and come with higher manufacturing costs. 3. In terms of specific configurations, the Mercedes-Benz GLA is equipped with knee airbags, whereas the Mercedes-Benz GLB is not. This might be because the GLA was originally introduced to China as an imported vehicle, and the knee airbag safety feature was not removed during the localization process. 4. In terms of power, the Mercedes-Benz GLB is equipped with a 1.3T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 100kW (136PS) and a maximum torque of 200N·m, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. On the other hand, the Mercedes-Benz GLA is equipped with 1.6T and 2.0T turbocharged engines.

Why Buy a Foot and Two Inches of Red Cloth When Purchasing a New Car?

Hanging red cloth strips on a car not only symbolizes joy and auspiciousness due to the color red but also represents the meaning of "good luck (red) coming your way." Below are related introductions: Safety Impact: Tying red cloth on the rearview mirror is the most common practice for new cars, but it is also the most dangerous. When the vehicle starts moving, the red cloth strips flutter with the wind, which can easily block the rearview mirror, severely affecting the driver's ability to observe the traffic behind them. A slight oversight could lead to a major accident. Impact on Car Paint: If the red cloth strips contain sand or other impurities, prolonged flapping against the car paint or rearview mirror glass can easily cause damage. Over time, most red cloth strips will also fade and deteriorate, making subsequent cleanup very troublesome.

What Causes the Yellow Engine Light on the Car Dashboard?

There are two main reasons why the yellow engine light appears on the car dashboard: the car's self-check when the power is turned on, and an actual engine malfunction. Self-check when the power is turned on: During this process, not only the yellow engine light but also other warning lights will illuminate briefly before turning off, which is a normal occurrence. Engine malfunction: If the yellow engine light remains on after starting the car, it indicates that the ECU (Engine Control Unit) has detected a fault. Possible issues include problems with sensors such as the coolant temperature sensor, crankshaft position sensor, mass air flow sensor, intake air temperature sensor, or oxygen sensor. When these sensors are damaged, have poor connections, or experience signal interruptions, the ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, triggering the engine warning light. This is an abnormal condition. If the engine warning light stays on, you can try restarting and turning off the car three times in a row, or disconnect the negative terminal of the engine battery for 30 seconds before reconnecting it and attempting to start the car again. If the light persists, it is recommended to visit a 4S shop for professional inspection and repair.
