Generally, the minimum ground clearance of a sedan ranges between 110mm and 150mm. Below are relevant details about minimum ground clearance: 1. Impact on driving: The ability of a car to overcome obstacles. The smaller the ground clearance, the worse the ability to overcome obstacles. Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the car (excluding the wheels) and the road surface when the car is fully loaded. Sedans usually travel on flat urban roads, hence the small ground clearance; 2. Design considerations: It is necessary to consider the passability of loading and unloading platforms during transportation, and to ensure that the sedan does not scrape when approaching the edge of a typical sidewalk. Additionally, the value of minimum ground clearance is subject to certain limitations, related to the vehicle's functionality and aerodynamics.

Where is the AUX to USB converter interface?

By using a converter cable to plug into the AUX interface, you can convert it to USB. Below is relevant information about AUX: 1. Introduction: AUX is an external audio source interface that allows you to directly plug in your phone's headphone jack, enabling phone music to play through the car's speakers. The AUX interface typically uses a 3.5mm dedicated port (essentially the same as a wired headphone jack). Nowadays, many car models not only feature an AUX interface but also include wireless Bluetooth. However, in terms of stability and transmission quality, the AUX interface still significantly outperforms Bluetooth, which is why many car owners still prefer the AUX interface. 2. Sound Quality: AUX offers superior sound quality. The sound quality of AUX is comparable to that of a CD, and as long as the audio source isn't overly compressed, AUX delivers much better sound. However, compared to Bluetooth, USB provides better sound quality since Bluetooth relies on wireless transmission, which is less stable than wired USB transmission. If you have high demands for music quality, it's recommended to use a CD or AUX for playback. For convenience, Bluetooth connection is a suitable option.

Is It Normal for the Screws on a New Car's Chassis to Be Rusty?

It is not normal. It is recommended to check whether the car purchased is from stock. Additionally, rust can also be related to the local environment. The main reasons for rust on a car's chassis are as follows: 1. Differences in materials and manufacturing processes can easily cause the chassis to rust: Due to factors such as price and brand positioning, it is not always possible to use high-quality sheet metal materials. Furthermore, differences in processes like coating and welding can also lead to 'innate' variations in rust levels. 2. Human factors: This mainly refers to lack of maintenance, such as infrequent car washing, waxing, etc. The tailpipe often accumulates water and is not cleaned. 3. External factors: Some areas have poor environments with exposure to acid rain, corrosive dust, etc. Some places have humid weather and frequent rain, leading to severe chassis rust. Poor road conditions in some areas can also result in frequent chassis impacts or damage from gravel, increasing the likelihood of rust in vulnerable areas like the engine underguard and exhaust pipe.

What is the difference between a differential and a final drive?

Difference between differential and final drive: Different definitions: The differential refers to a mechanism that enables the left and right or front and rear drive wheels to rotate at different speeds. It mainly consists of left and right axle gears, two planetary gears, and a gear carrier. The final drive refers to a component in the drivetrain that reduces speed and increases torque. When the engine is longitudinally mounted, it also serves to change the direction of torque rotation. This is achieved by using a gear with fewer teeth to drive a gear with more teeth, thereby achieving speed reduction. Different functions: The function of the differential is to meet the requirement of different wheel speeds when the car is turning. During a turn, the inner and outer wheels have different turning radii, with the outer wheel having a larger turning radius than the inner wheel. The function of the final drive is to change the direction of power transmission and, as an extension of the transmission, to provide a common gear ratio for all gears. The transmission outputs torque that rotates around the longitudinal axis, while the wheels must rotate around the vehicle's transverse axis. Therefore, a device is needed to change the direction of power transmission.

Will a faulty Magotan bearing produce a humming noise?

Yes. Sounds of a damaged wheel bearing: 1. Squeaking noise: When turning the steering wheel while stationary or at low speeds, a "squeak... squeak" sound will be heard, and in severe cases, steering wheel vibration can be felt. 2. Humming noise: Tire noise becomes significantly louder during driving, and in severe cases, a "hum... hum" sound will be heard. 3. Thumping noise: When driving on bumpy roads or over speed bumps, a "thud... thud" sound will be heard. Below is an introduction to wheel bearings: 1. Definition of wheel bearings: Components used at the vehicle axle to bear weight and provide precise guidance for wheel hub rotation, which bear both axial and radial loads and are an important part of vehicle load-bearing and rotation. 2. Composition and installation of wheel bearings: Traditional automotive wheel bearings consist of two sets of tapered roller bearings or ball bearings combined. The installation, greasing, sealing, and clearance adjustment of the bearings are all carried out on the automobile production line.

What is the reason for the obvious buzzing sound of Magotan at low speed?

This may be the sound from the suspension system or the braking system. It is recommended to go to a 4S shop for inspection. The following are related introductions: 1. Suspension aging problem: The suspension is an important component of the car. After long-term use, the suspension may produce some abnormal noises. There are many rubber bushings on the suspension. After long-term use, these rubber bushings may age, which may cause abnormal noises when the car is running. When the suspension bushings age, they need to be replaced to solve the abnormal noise. 2. Shock absorber problem: The shock absorber of the car may also produce abnormal noises after long-term use. The shock absorber is a wear-prone component and needs to be replaced after long-term use. Some car shock absorbers may also leak oil after long-term use. If oil leakage occurs, the shock absorber needs to be replaced. 3. Braking system failure: The braking system includes the vacuum booster pump, the master cylinder, and the wheel cylinder. The wheel cylinder is the brake caliper you usually see. If the wheel cylinder has a poor return problem, the car may make some abnormal noises when driving at low speed. The braking system is very important for driving safety. If the braking system fails, it needs to be repaired immediately.

Why is there a hissing sound from the car audio system?

The reason for the hissing sound from the car audio system is that the audio signal cable is being interfered with by the power cable. To address this issue, it is necessary to replace the cables or separate the routing of the power and signal cables. Release static electricity promptly: When using a CD player, first touch other metal objects in the car to discharge static electricity before touching the audio head unit. This is because the winter climate is inherently dry, and turning on the heater in the car can make it even drier, leading to static electricity buildup. The instantaneous current from static electricity is enough to damage the audio head unit. Ensure the cleanliness of tapes and CDs: If the magnetic head encounters dirt while in operation, it can cause the head to deviate from its original laser track, resulting in distorted sound. Additionally, this may damage the magnetic head of the audio head unit, significantly reducing its lifespan.
