On-demand four-wheel drive functions by switching to four-wheel drive only when necessary, while remaining in two-wheel drive under normal conditions. The system automatically shifts between two-wheel and four-wheel drive modes based on the vehicle's driving conditions without requiring manual intervention. On-demand four-wheel drive means that when encountering poor road surfaces or wheel slippage, the computer automatically detects and immediately redistributes the engine's torque to the front wheels, naturally switching to four-wheel drive mode, making it simpler to use. Each driven wheel of the car must have a differential to enable turning on high-traction surfaces, as the wheels rotate at different speeds during a turn.

How long can a 60km range last?

A range of 60KM means the vehicle can still travel 60KM. If driving at a speed of 60KM per hour, the vehicle can run for one more hour. If driving at a speed of 30KM per hour, the vehicle can run for two more hours. If driving at a speed of 10KM per hour, the vehicle can run for six more hours. In other words, how long a 60KM range can last depends on the real-time speed. Different speeds result in different durations. The above scenarios are purely theoretical; in actual usage, the displayed range is not accurate, and the actual distance traveled is generally less than indicated. Factors such as driving habits, battery capacity, total mileage, tire condition, load weight, and temperature all affect the range of an electric vehicle. Battery capacity is equivalent to the fuel tank of a gasoline car—the larger the capacity, the better the range. However, batteries also have certain size and weight constraints, and charging speed must be considered, so it's impractical to have an extremely large capacity. Additionally, as usage increases, battery capacity degrades and diminishes. When the capacity drops below 70%, a new battery is needed, and the battery typically accounts for about half the price of a new energy vehicle. Even for gasoline cars, the range of a full tank varies depending on road conditions. Driving at a constant speed on flat roads will maximize range, but real-world conditions involve various terrains, gradients, and slope lengths—all uncertain factors that objectively impact range. Battery lifespan shortens rapidly in low temperatures, with colder temperatures having a greater impact. In northern regions, especially in Northeast China and Xinjiang, where temperatures can drop to -20°C or lower, the actual range may not even reach half of the advertised distance.

Why does the Mazda Ruiyi trigger automatic alarms?

Mazda Ruiyi automatic alarm reasons include: 1. The sensitivity of the anti-theft device causes the car to alarm automatically, most likely because the anti-theft device's sensitivity is set too high, causing it to trigger an alarm with even slight vibrations. Solution: First locate the anti-theft device's main unit, usually found under the steering wheel or behind the A-pillar trim panel. Then, simply adjust the sensitivity knob slightly. 2. Anti-theft device wiring issues may be due to problems with the main unit's wiring, requiring timely inspection, repair, or replacement. However, whether it's checking the wiring or replacing the alarm, it's best left to professionals to handle.

What are automotive chips?

Automotive chips collectively refer to chips used in vehicles. Additional information is as follows: 1. Integrated Circuits; Integrated circuits generally refer to all electronic components, which are circuit modules that integrate various electronic components on a silicon board to achieve specific functions. They are the most important part of electronic devices, responsible for computation and storage functions. The application scope of integrated circuits covers almost all electronic devices in both military and civilian fields. Integrated circuits manufactured on the surface of semiconductor chips are also known as thin-film integrated circuits. Another type, thick-film integrated circuits (hybrid integrated circuits), are miniaturized circuits composed of independent semiconductor devices and passive components integrated onto a substrate or circuit board.

What are the correct usage suggestions for cars?

Correct usage suggestions for cars: 1. Novice drivers should never blindly hit the road, as their skills are still very limited in the beginning, and their judgment of road conditions remains at the theoretical level from driving school. Therefore, it is safer to first practice on actual roads for a while before starting to drive. 2. Many people often neglect the basic driving essentials while driving. The standard way of holding the steering wheel must never be ignored, as only by holding the steering wheel correctly can one make the best response in case of emergencies. 3. Pay attention to the coordination between the accelerator and clutch while driving, especially when there are many vehicles around. The clutch and accelerator must work in tandem; otherwise, the car may easily stall.

How Long Does It Take for a Car to Go on Sale After Application?

After the application images are released, it normally takes 6-12 months for the car to go on sale. Below is an introduction to relevant knowledge about car launches: 1. Basis: The review is conducted based on relevant documents from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China. 2. Reviewing Authority: Automakers send an appropriate number of vehicles to designated testing departments for mandatory testing. If all technical indicators meet the relevant national regulations, the automaker can submit the corresponding documents to the National Development and Reform Commission's Industrial Policy Department for approval, and the results will be published online. 3. Notes: The year of a car's launch is not the same as its release time. The car's release refers to the time when the actual vehicle is officially presented to the media and the public, which is earlier than the car's launch time.

What is the service brake and what is the brake pedal?

The service brake usually refers to the foot brake or handbrake of a car, commonly known as the brake. The brake pedal, as the name suggests, is the pedal that controls the power, i.e., the pedal of the foot brake (service brake), used for deceleration and stopping. It is one of the five major operating components of car driving and is used very frequently. The function of the service brake: To decelerate the car as needed or stop it within the shortest distance, and maintain a stable speed when driving downhill. The use of the service brake: During driving, the service brake (foot brake) is generally used to facilitate deceleration and stopping while moving forward. It keeps the car stationary. The parking brake is used only when the service brake fails. Once the car is stopped, the parking brake (handbrake) should be applied to prevent the vehicle from sliding forward or rolling backward. Methods for maintaining the brake system: Regularly replace the brake fluid: Many car models now specify replacing the brake fluid every two years or 40,000 kilometers. Even for cars that are parked for long periods without use, the brake fluid should be replaced after two years because the brake fluid continuously absorbs moisture from the air. After replacing the brake fluid, the moisture in the brake fluid will naturally be eliminated. Regular inspection and maintenance: When the brake pedal feels soft, it should be immediately checked at a repair shop. The most common solution is to bleed the brake system, removing the air from the brake fluid at the four brake calipers. Although it may not completely eliminate all the air in the entire pipeline, it can minimize the presence of air to the greatest extent.
