Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest protruding part of a vehicle's chassis and the level ground when the vehicle is fully loaded (with the maximum allowable load mass). It reflects the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain without collision. Specific characteristics are as follows: The greater the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain, but the higher the center of gravity, which reduces stability; the smaller the minimum ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven terrain, but the lower the center of gravity, which can increase stability. Passenger cars generally travel on flat urban roads, so they have smaller ground clearance, while off-road vehicles have larger minimum ground clearance to overcome larger obstacles.

What type of battery is used in the Passat hybrid?

The Passat hybrid uses a ternary lithium-ion battery. Ternary lithium-ion battery: A ternary lithium-ion battery refers to a lithium-ion battery that uses a ternary cathode material composed of lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide (NCM) or lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (NCA). The ternary composite cathode material is made from nickel salts, cobalt salts, and manganese salts as raw materials, and the ratio of nickel, cobalt, and manganese can be adjusted according to actual needs. Battery performance: This material offers a balanced performance in terms of capacity and safety, with better cycle performance compared to conventional lithium cobalt oxide. Initially, due to technical limitations, its nominal voltage was only 3.5-3.6V, which restricted its application range. However, with continuous improvements in formulation and structural optimization, the nominal voltage of the battery has now reached 3.7V.

What causes the metallic rattling sound when starting the X-Trail?

The reasons for the metallic rattling sound when starting the X-Trail are as follows: Door rattling: If it's coming from the door, since the door structure is relatively simple, first check if it's because the screws are not tightened properly. Sunroof rattling: If the vehicle is equipped with a sunroof, check if the sunroof is making noise. Sunroof rattling is generally quite common, as in older vehicles, small stones or dust can accumulate in the sunroof tracks over time, leading to poor sealing and resulting in noise. This issue isn't actually a major problem; even luxury cars like BMW and Mercedes can experience sunroof rattling.

Why Can't the Door of Geely Car Be Locked?

Geely Car Door Can't Be Locked for the Following Reasons: Remote Lock Failure: If you are using a remote key to lock the door, it is likely that the remote lock is malfunctioning or factors such as aging of the car's remote transmitter antenna are causing the remote key to not work. In this case, you can use the spare mechanical key to lock the door. Magnetic Signal Interference Around the Car: If there is strong magnetic signal interference around the car, the smart key, which uses low-intensity radio waves, will not function properly under magnetic interference. Lock Actuator Damage: If you don't hear the "click, click" sound, it indicates that the door lock actuator is damaged or there is a short circuit (open circuit) in the wiring harness, requiring replacement of the lock actuator and inspection of the circuit.

Can the Audi A4L be driven if there is a transmission failure?

Audi A4L transmission failure is not recommended to drive, it is recommended to go to the 4S shop for repair as soon as possible. There is a failure in the power control system: It may be that a sensor connection line in the transmission is faulty. The car repair station can detect it through a computer, and then the specific fault can be detected according to the fault code. Lack of automatic transmission oil: This leads to overheating of the automatic transmission or the inability to increase the starting speed due to the one-way clutch slipping. Transmission temperature is too high: When the car has been driven under high intensity, it is easy to cause the transmission temperature to rise abnormally, causing the fault light to come on. In this case, just stop the car and wait for the temperature to naturally drop.

What are the reasons why the Alphard remote control cannot lock the car?

Alphard remote control cannot lock the car because the battery is dead or there is strong signal interference around. Remote control battery is dead: If the car battery is dead, the car's sensing system will naturally fail. This results in malfunction, and at this time, you only need to charge the car. Strong signal interference around: When encountering strong magnetic fields or other interference signals around, it will affect the sensing key, and you can only try to unlock the car in different directions around the car. You can press the unlock button while making a phone call, which will increase the success rate. If the mechanical key also cannot open, it may be that the car's control lock system is in an electronic locked state, or the door lock cylinder is stuck.

What is the tire size for the Mazda3 1.5?

The Mazda3 1.5 tire specification is 205/60R16. Below is an introduction to car tire maintenance: Avoid Braking: Maintain a safe distance when driving at high speeds to avoid unnecessary or frequent braking, which can reduce tire damage. For your safety, pay attention to the tread depth of your tires. Tires that are nearly worn out have reduced friction with the road, leading to longer braking distances, so avoid high-speed driving. Check Tire Pressure: Tire pressure is crucial for tire longevity. The inflation pressure must comply with national standards for different types and specifications of tires. Regularly check the tire pressure, as both overinflation and underinflation can cause irregular wear, tread groove cracking, cord breakage, ply separation, and even tire blowouts. Tire Rotation: Rotate the tires on your vehicle appropriately and in a timely manner to ensure even wear and extend their lifespan. Larger diameter tires should be installed on the outer wheels.
