Car wheel plastic shell is called fender. Here are the details about the fender: 1. Fender classification: The fender is the outer body panel that covers the wheel, and is divided into front fender and rear fender according to the installation position. 2. Front fender: The front fender is installed at the front wheel and must ensure the maximum limit space when the front wheel rotates and jumps. Therefore, the designer will use the wheel jump diagram to verify whether the design size of the fender is appropriate according to the selected tire model size. 3. Rear fender: The rear fender is slightly arched and convex outward for aerodynamic considerations. The function of the fender is to prevent the sand and mud rolled up by the wheel from splashing to the bottom of the car body during driving. The fender requires the material used to have weather resistance and good forming processability.

What is the difference between an original bumper and an OEM one?

There is no difference between an original bumper and an OEM one. Below is relevant information about bumpers. Component Function: An automobile bumper (also called an impact beam) is located in most areas at the front and rear of the vehicle. It is designed to prevent damage to the vehicle's safety systems caused by external impacts and has the capability to reduce injuries to occupants during high-speed collisions. Nowadays, it is increasingly designed for pedestrian protection. Bumper Composition: A bumper consists of an outer panel, cushioning material, and a crossbeam. The outer panel and cushioning material are made of plastic, while the crossbeam is formed by stamping cold-rolled thin sheets into a U-shaped channel. The outer panel and cushioning material are attached to the crossbeam, which is then connected to the vehicle frame's longitudinal beams via screws.

Which Gear to Use When Climbing a Slope?

When climbing a slope with a car, the gear selection depends on the steepness of the slope. Here is a detailed introduction to gear selection for car slope climbing: 1. Gear selection for small slopes: When going uphill, observe the car's climbing power. Each car has its own climbing power capacity. If fourth gear provides enough power for a small slope, use fourth gear to climb. 2. Gear selection for medium slopes: If third gear provides enough power for a medium slope, use third gear to climb. If third gear is insufficient, switch to second gear (this can be done either at the bottom or on the slope, but requires coordination between the clutch and accelerator). 3. Gear selection for large slopes: For large slopes, try to use second gear if it provides enough power. If second gear is insufficient, switch to first gear to climb.

Is there a voice prompt for independent lane changing in Subject 3?

There is no voice prompt for independent lane changing in Subject 3. Here are some tips for independent lane changing: 1. Turn on the turn signal in time: Before changing lanes, turn on the turn signal for more than 3 seconds to alert the vehicles behind and avoid rear-end collisions. 2. Observe the traffic conditions: After turning on the turn signal, don’t rush to the next step.

Be decisive when changing lanes: After observing everything, proceed with the lane change quickly and avoid making large steering movements. Hesitation when changing lanes can cause trouble for the vehicles behind. 4. Turn off the turn signal after completion: After completing the lane change, remember to turn off the turn signal.

What is the maximum age requirement for obtaining a driver's license?

The maximum age limit for obtaining a driver's license is 70 years old. Below are some important considerations for taking the driving test: 1. Don't forget to release the handbrake when starting: When first learning to drive, always follow the correct sequence when starting the car. Regardless of whether the handbrake was engaged when parking previously, always check and release the handbrake when starting. 2. Always fasten your seatbelt: Good habits start with wearing a seatbelt. Although it may feel uncomfortable, this small belt can save your life in the event of a high-speed collision. 3. Don't forget to engage the handbrake when parking: This issue is similar to wearing a seatbelt. During practice sessions, the training area is usually flat, and instructors might not emphasize this enough as students take turns. However, failing to correct this bad habit can lead to serious problems in real driving situations. A moment of carelessness can result in the car rolling, potentially causing damage to your vehicle or even harm to others' property or lives. The mistake may seem minor, but the consequences can be severe. 4. Correct positioning of the right foot: Driving school cars often have higher idle speeds. Instructors usually discourage students from using the accelerator during initial training, sometimes even disconnecting the throttle cable. Since the car moves at idle speed, it's very slow, and pressing the clutch can stop it immediately. Over time, many students develop the habit of keeping their right foot idle. This habit can be dangerous when driving a manual transmission car in real situations, as it may lead to delayed or incorrect braking responses during emergencies, even causing accidents by mistakenly pressing the accelerator instead of the brake. 5. Don't forget to shift to neutral when exiting the car: Forgetting to shift back to neutral or Park after stopping can cause the engine to stall. If combined with forgetting to engage the handbrake, the car might lurch forward, potentially causing damage to yourself or others.
