The minimum ground clearance of the Lavida when fully loaded is 110mm. The minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle (excluding the wheels) and the supporting plane when the vehicle is fully loaded or stationary. It is used to characterize the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as stones and tree stumps without collision. Taking the 2019 Lavida as an example, it belongs to the compact car category, with body dimensions of: length 4613mm, width 1765mm, height 1460mm, a wheelbase of 2610mm, and a curb weight of 1210kg. The 2019 Lavida features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 112 PS, a maximum power of 82 kW, and a maximum torque of 145 Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

I have driven the Lavida model myself, and when fully loaded, I measured the ground clearance several times, which was usually around 100 mm. This makes me a bit concerned about daily driving scenarios, especially when encountering speed bumps or potholes in the city, as the car is more prone to scraping the chassis. I remember last summer when I took my family on an outing, with the trunk and back seats fully loaded with luggage, I heard a scraping sound while going over a slope. Later, I found a minor scratch upon inspection. I’d advise friends to drive slowly and cautiously during long trips or when carrying heavy loads, otherwise, the chassis could easily get damaged, affecting safety. For regular maintenance, keeping the tire pressure and suspension in good condition can slightly improve the clearance. Overall, 100 mm is acceptable for city driving, but extra caution is needed when encountering waterlogged roads or uneven surfaces.

From the perspective of a car enthusiast, let me talk about the ground clearance issue of the Lavida. When fully loaded, it drops to about 100mm, which directly affects the vehicle's passability and handling feel. I often drive between urban and suburban areas and have noticed that when fully loaded, the body sinks more when cornering, and the wind resistance increases slightly. Sometimes, starting on slippery roads can be a bit challenging. Compared to other sedans, this height isn't particularly high—SUVs typically exceed 180mm—but as a family car, the Lavida's ground clearance is generally sufficient for daily commuting. I think modifying the suspension could slightly improve it, but stability must be considered. Overall, this data reminds us not to focus solely on acceleration while driving; paying more attention to the chassis condition can protect components, especially avoiding rough roads.

I understand the minimum ground clearance of the Lavida when fully loaded is around 100mm, which is related to driving safety. I think this is very important because once the weight increases and the clearance decreases, it's easy to scrape the chassis on bumpy roads. I always emphasize smooth driving, especially at night or in rainy conditions when road visibility is poor. This height limitation makes me drive more cautiously. It's recommended to regularly check the suspension and tires to ensure the system is functioning properly.

What does 'peset' mean in a car?

In a car, 'peset' means resetting data, which is essentially a reset button. Meaning of car peset: The car peset button is a vehicle button used to reset or clear vehicle data. Most cars have this button near the instrument panel, and its operation is relatively simple. Usage method: After driving a certain distance, the instrument panel will display corresponding mileage data, fuel consumption data, etc. If the owner wants to clear certain data, they need to press and hold this button for about 10 seconds after setting to reset the data to zero.

Is it necessary to go to a 4S shop for ACC calibration?

ACC calibration requires diagnostic instruments for matching. Before installation, the ACC needs to be installed horizontally, followed by vehicle matching. The operation is relatively professional, so it is recommended to go to a 4S shop for the procedure. If the car owner can handle it themselves, they may also perform the operation. Below is relevant information about ACC calibration: Precautions during calibration: ACC calibration requires a set of specialized calibration tools. Following the prompts from the dedicated computer, there generally shouldn't be major issues. However, attention should be paid to whether the probe is dirty or if the probe mount is loose, etc. It is recommended to go to a 4S shop for calibration. Overview of ACC: Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) does not appear to be much more advanced than regular cruise control, but its implementation is far more complex. It requires the installation of a distance-measuring radar at the front of the vehicle to determine the distance from the car ahead and transmit the data to the vehicle's computer for calculation. It can control the throttle and braking system of the vehicle when the car ahead accelerates or decelerates, maintaining an appropriate and safe distance from the car ahead.

What causes severe shaking when driving at 70 mph?

Severe shaking when driving at 70 mph is generally caused by improper wheel balancing or four-wheel alignment. It is recommended to take the vehicle to a 4S shop for inspection and repair. Other possible causes: Excessive tire pressure: If the tire pressure is too high, the vehicle will bounce more when driving on bumpy roads, and the body is more likely to shake at high speeds, increasing the risk of a tire blowout. Generally, the recommended tire pressure is around 2.5 bar. Severe tire wear: If the tires are severely worn and the tread is uneven, it can also cause the car to shake at high speeds. In such cases, the tires should be repaired or replaced promptly.

Is the gear shifting project in Subject 3 performed independently or based on voice prompts?

Whether it is performed independently or based on voice prompts varies by region, depending on whether the exam area provides voice prompts. If there are no voice prompts, the student must choose an appropriate time and road section to complete the project before reaching the destination. If there are voice prompts, the student must wait until the voice announcement is finished before starting the project. After starting the gear shifting, first press the accelerator to increase the speed to 25 km/h in 2nd gear, then press the clutch to shift to 3rd gear, release the clutch, and press the accelerator to increase the speed to 30 km/h-35 km/h in 3rd gear before shifting to 4th gear, then downshift to 3rd gear. Gear shifting method for Subject 3: Start in 1st gear, quickly shift to 2nd gear after starting and accelerating, then shift to 3rd gear after further acceleration, and finally shift to 4th gear. Downshifting method: Downshifting requires first pressing the brake to reduce speed, then pressing the clutch to downshift. Quickly press the clutch, slowly release the clutch, gradually press the accelerator, and gradually release the accelerator. When preparing to shift gears, first gradually release the accelerator, but if the accelerator is not fully released when the clutch is pressed, it can still be lifted immediately without affecting the car's stability.

How long should a beginner practice steering on the first day?

How long a beginner should practice steering on the first day depends on each individual's learning speed. Generally, the instructor will have them stop when they feel it's appropriate. Definition of car steering wheel: The wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of a car, which functions to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque and then transmit it to the steering shaft. How to hold the car steering wheel: If the steering wheel is viewed as a clock face, the correct hand positions should be left hand between 9 and 10 o'clock, and right hand between 3 and 4 o'clock. In the event of a collision, this posture is more conducive to supporting the body.
