The minimum ground clearance of the Orlando when unloaded is 180 mm; when fully loaded, it is 150 mm. The minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle (excluding the wheels) and the supporting surface when the car is fully loaded and stationary. This measurement is used to indicate the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as rocks and tree stumps without collision. The Orlando is a compact hatchback introduced by Chevrolet, equipped with a 1.3-liter turbocharged engine (code-named L16) that delivers a maximum power of 120 kW and a maximum torque of 230 Nm. The Orlando features a large body typical of long-wheelbase models, a distinctive floating roof design, and an eye-catching long rear spoiler. In terms of configuration, it includes practical features such as LED automatic headlights, multi-faceted LED taillights, LED daytime running lights, a panoramic sunroof, and roof rails.

As someone who frequently studies cars, I can say that the Volando's minimum ground clearance is approximately 140mm, which is quite suitable for city and highway driving. After all, the 140mm height makes it less likely to scrape the chassis when going over speed bumps or rough roads, but you need to be more careful in rural or off-road conditions since it's lower than the typical SUV's 180mm. I've driven this type of vehicle myself and find this clearance design well-balanced, offering both stability and passability without frequent scraping like some low-clearance sedans. It's very reassuring for daily errands or school runs. Considering the Volando is a family MPV model, this specification ensures comfort on regular roads while also minimizing fuel consumption impact. If you want to delve deeper, this clearance is also related to the suspension system—regularly checking tire wear can further enhance driving safety and avoid sudden scraping incidents. In short, 140mm is a very practical standard value that meets most people's needs.

I often drive my family out and find that the Volando's minimum ground clearance is around 140mm, which is crucial for my daily use. When taking the kids to school, there are many speed bumps on the road. If the chassis is too low, it can easily cause bumps or damage the suspension. The 140mm height is just right, allowing smooth passage without compromising safety. Moreover, during rainy days or on muddy roads, this clearance prevents water from easily entering the car, ensuring a dry and hygienic interior. As a homemaker, I pay more attention to its practicality, such as when returning from the supermarket fully loaded, it doesn't scrape the ground, reducing maintenance hassles. Compared to those high-ground-clearance SUVs, the 140mm is more fuel-efficient and stable, making it particularly suitable for urban life. Regularly checking the chassis for dust during car washes can also help prevent rust issues.

I'm someone who's fascinated by technical details. The Volando's minimum ground clearance is approximately 140mm, which essentially represents the distance from the lowest point of the vehicle's undercarriage to the ground. For MPVs like the Volando, this value ensures good performance under normal road conditions while maintaining a well-designed chassis, such as using lightweight materials to reduce weight. However, the lower clearance does limit its off-road capability. As a daily driver, I find 140mm to be quite balanced—too high would increase wind resistance and fuel consumption, while too low would make it more prone to damage. To optimize, just be mindful to avoid deep ditches or steep slopes when driving.

Submit the application, and the processing time is within 1 working day. Exemption from inspection does not mean exemption from review. During the 6-year exemption period, you need to provide the compulsory insurance certificate and the vehicle and vessel tax payment or exemption certificate every 2 years to apply for the inspection label. The 6-year inspection exemption for non-operational vehicles such as sedans means that the vehicle is exempted from on-site inspection, but you need to go to the "6-Year Exempted Vehicle" inspection label issuance point to apply for it.

How to Place the Warning Triangle After an Accident?

The warning triangle has two movable sides. When using it, pull out the two movable sides, fasten the buttons together, and then extend the movable metal stand. The warning triangle can be placed on the inner side of the vehicle's trunk lid or under the trunk cover panel, or directly inside the trunk. For warning triangles placed directly in the trunk, it is recommended to secure the outer shell of the triangle with nylon hook-and-loop fasteners to fix it to the trunk's cover panel. During the day on regular city ring roads, place the warning triangle 50 meters behind the vehicle. On highways, it should be placed 150 meters behind the vehicle.

How to Use a Left-Turn and Straight Lane?

When the straight lane signal turns green, vehicles in the left-turn lane should move into the left-turn waiting area. They can only turn when the left-turn signal light activates. When the left-turn signal turns green, straight-moving vehicles from both directions can enter the straight-ahead waiting zone in front. They can then proceed quickly through the intersection once the straight signal turns green. The lane in question is a bidirectional lane, meaning vehicles in this lane can either go straight or turn left. Red means stop, green means go. Whether turning or going straight, vehicles must use the designated lanes. These traffic rules are regulations that all pedestrians and vehicles on the road should follow.

Can a Sidewall Hot Patch Be Used on Highways?

Sidewall hot patches are not suitable for highway use. Here are the specific reasons why sidewall hot patches should not be used on highways: 1. Repair Materials: Many hot patches use repair materials obtained from old tire casings, so quality cannot be guaranteed. Additionally, the dynamic balance of the tire after hot patching may not be properly maintained. 2. Structural Damage: Hot patching can compromise the tire's structure, posing significant safety risks. For your health and safe travel, always ensure your tires are in good condition before driving on highways. 3. Air Tightness: The air tightness of hot patches is difficult to guarantee, and there is a risk of the patch coming off, especially for hot patches applied to the sidewall of the tire.

What is the Audi DKW Engine?

dkw engine is a four-cylinder four-stroke engine. The four-stroke engine belongs to the reciprocating piston internal combustion engine. The EA888 engine is the most widely used engine by Volkswagen. DKW is a sedan produced by Audi AG of Germany, popular in the 1930s and 1940s. Here is additional information: EA888 Engine: The EA888 engine adopts variable valve timing technology for intake, which can effectively improve intake and exhaust efficiency. This is mainly achieved through the vane-type hydraulic adjuster located on the intake camshaft to realize variable valve timing. The vane-type adjuster consists of an outer housing, an internal vane rotor, and a locking pin located inside the vane rotor. The outer housing is fixed to the external timing gear and driven by the crankshaft. The internal vane is directly fixed to the intake camshaft and rotates with it.
