What is the ground clearance of the Ford Edge?

2 Answers

When fully loaded, the Ford Edge has a minimum ground clearance of 160mm. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Minimum ground clearance: The distance between the lowest protruding part of the chassis and the level ground when the car is parked on a horizontal surface under rated full load conditions. 2. Safety implications: A larger minimum ground clearance enhances the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain but raises the center of gravity, reducing stability; a smaller minimum ground clearance weakens the vehicle's ability to traverse obstacles or uneven surfaces but lowers the center of gravity, improving stability.

The ground clearance of the Ford Edge is typically around 180 millimeters, with minor variations depending on the model year and configuration. For example, the standard value for the 2018 model is 180mm, but if you install larger tires or modify the suspension system, the clearance may increase to around 190mm. Higher ground clearance is very practical for off-roading, making it easier for the vehicle to navigate rough terrain and avoid scraping the undercarriage. However, as an urban SUV, excessive height can affect handling, making the car feel less stable during turns. Based on my experience, the clearance is about 180mm when unloaded, but may drop to around 170mm when fully loaded due to suspension compression. It's advisable to slow down when driving over uneven surfaces to protect the undercarriage components and extend their lifespan. During regular maintenance, check the tire pressure as it indirectly affects the ground clearance measurement, maintaining a moderate height to balance practicality and safety.

Should You Switch Between High and Low Beams When Crossing an Intersection at Night?

Should you switch between high and low beams when crossing an intersection at night? Alternate between high and low beams when passing through an uncontrolled intersection at night: Alternate between high and low beams when passing through sharp curves, slopes, arched bridges, crosswalks, or uncontrolled intersections at night. Motor vehicles should use low beams when passing through signal-controlled intersections at night. On roads without central barriers or center lines, switch to low beams when meeting an oncoming vehicle at a distance of more than 150 meters at night. Motor vehicles should turn on headlights, position lights, and rear lights when driving under low visibility conditions: Motor vehicles should turn on headlights, position lights, and rear lights when driving at night on roads without streetlights, under poor lighting conditions, or in low-visibility situations such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail. However, high beams should not be used when a following vehicle is traveling close behind another vehicle moving in the same direction.

What Are the Causes of Automotive Sensor Failures?

Automotive sensor failures can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Carbon particle blockage: In this case, the oxygen sensor's signal voltage will be higher than normal, prompting the engine control unit to reduce fuel injection, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture. 2. Dust and oil blockage: Here, the oxygen sensor's signal voltage will be lower than normal, causing the engine control unit to increase fuel injection, leading to an overly rich air-fuel mixture. Relevant information about automotive sensors is as follows: 1. Automotive sensors: These are input devices for the vehicle's computer system, converting various operational conditions (such as speed, temperature of various mediums, engine operating conditions, etc.) into electrical signals for the computer, ensuring the engine operates in its optimal state. 2. Function: When diagnosing faults, in addition to checking the sensors themselves, it's also necessary to inspect the wiring harness, connectors, and related circuits between the sensors and the electronic control unit.

What are the differences between cast iron engines and aluminum alloy engines?

Cast iron engines have lower manufacturing process requirements compared to aluminum alloy engines, but this does not mean that cast iron engines are inferior to aluminum alloy engines. In fact, both types of engines have their own advantages. The following is an introduction to the two types of engines: 1. Cast iron engines have lower manufacturing technical requirements and mature processes. In actual operation, cast iron engines can withstand high-temperature and high-pressure working environments, but they are heavier and have poorer heat dissipation compared to aluminum alloy engines. 2. Aluminum alloy engines are lighter in weight, effectively reducing the engine's self-weight, and have better heat dissipation. However, their manufacturing process requirements are slightly higher, and the manufacturing cost is more expensive than that of cast iron engines. Additionally, aluminum alloy engines are prone to deformation when heated during operation, which can lead to increased clearance between the cylinder wall and piston after prolonged use, resulting in significant power leakage.

Is the Fee Refundable if the Vehicle Inspection Fails?

Typically, the fee is not refundable if the vehicle inspection fails. Concept of Vehicle Inspection: It refers to the mandatory annual inspection process for motor vehicles, akin to a health check-up for vehicles. This procedure is essential for timely identification and elimination of potential safety hazards, thereby reducing the occurrence of traffic accidents. It is commonly referred to as vehicle inspection. Precautions for Vehicle Inspection: Ensure that the compulsory traffic insurance policy is valid and bring all necessary documents and certificates that might be required. Do not forget to bring the triangular warning sign and fire extinguisher. If the vehicle has been modified or bears non-compliant decals, please clean it up before proceeding with the annual inspection.

Should You Shift to Neutral After Stopping on an Uphill Slope?

After stopping on an uphill slope, there is no need to shift to neutral. Simply engage the handbrake, and once the car is stationary, gradually release the clutch until the engine starts to shudder, then release the brake to proceed. Additionally, there is no need to use the turn signal when performing parallel parking. Below are some tips for the uphill slope segment in the driving test (Subject 2): 1. Align with the center of the slope: Before ascending, align the car's reinforcement ribs with the center of the slope, or position the left wiper corner with the right edge of the slope. During practice, you can check the distance (by looking at the rearview mirror). 2. Stopping at the designated point: Drive slowly without stopping, and when reaching the designated point, press the clutch and brake simultaneously to stop, then engage the handbrake and release it immediately. 3. Gradually release the clutch: If you notice a change in the engine's sound, stabilize the clutch and avoid pressing it further. Release the brake, and the car will move forward smoothly.

Are New Energy Vehicle Technology and Auto Repair the Same?

New energy vehicle technology and auto repair are not the same. The following are the differences between new energy vehicle maintenance and traditional auto repair: 1. From the perspective of vehicle structure: The structure of new energy vehicles differs from that of traditional vehicles. Components for new energy electric vehicles are harder to source and are generally more expensive. The core components of new energy vehicles mainly consist of the three-electric system (battery, motor, and electronic control), which require diagnostic instruments and other tools for maintenance. The approach emphasizes the use of modern instruments, and proper protective measures must be taken during repairs, including personal protection such as protective clothing and insulated gloves. 2. From the perspective of vehicle components: Traditional auto repair is more readily available, and since traditional vehicles mostly consist of mechanical parts, repairs are simpler and require fewer tools to fix a vehicle. 3. From the perspective of repair locations: Much of the technical data for new energy vehicle repairs is confidential, and with extended warranties, repairs are limited to 4S shops or authorized service centers. In contrast, due to years of development in traditional auto repair, there are more technicians available, and repairs are no longer confined to specific locations.
