The three differential locks in the G-Class provide enhanced power during off-road driving, improving the vehicle's off-road capability. The three differential locks refer to the front differential lock, center differential lock, and rear differential lock. When a vehicle turns, the inner and outer wheels travel different radii, requiring them to rotate at different speeds. The differential locks adjust the speed of the left and right wheels, enhancing the vehicle's stability and handling. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is one of the world's most capable all-terrain off-road vehicles, featuring clean and bold lines that highlight its rugged character, combined with the luxury and classic elegance unique to the Mercedes-Benz family. The straightforward surfaces and minimalist straight lines give the G-Class its distinctive style. In terms of dimensions, it measures 4668mm in length, 1774mm in width, 1952mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2850mm.

What are the reasons for incomplete clutch disengagement?

Clutch disengagement is incomplete due to: 1. Excessive free travel of the clutch pedal and insufficient working travel, resulting in insufficient rearward movement of the pressure plate and failure to completely release the clamping force on the driven plate, leaving the clutch in a semi-engaged state; 2. Bent or deformed release levers; 3. Loose support brackets; 4. Worn-through pivot pin holes causing pins to fall out, leading to uneven contact surfaces between release levers and the release bearing. The functions of the clutch are: 1. Gradually increasing the driving force to allow smooth vehicle starting; 2. Temporarily separating the engine from the transmission for gear shifting; 3. Preventing overload of the transmission system; 4. Reducing torsional vibration impacts from the engine and extending the service life of transmission gears.

How Does a Hybrid Vehicle Work?

Hybrid vehicles operate on the following principles: 1. At the beginning of the vehicle's movement, the battery is fully charged, and its energy output can meet the vehicle's requirements, so the auxiliary power system does not need to operate; 2. When the battery level drops below 60%, the auxiliary power system starts; 3. When the vehicle's energy demand is high, both the auxiliary power system and the battery pack supply energy to the drive system; 4. When the vehicle's energy demand is low, the auxiliary power system not only provides energy to the drive system but also recharges the battery pack. A hybrid vehicle refers to a vehicle whose drive system consists of two or more individual drive systems that can operate simultaneously. The vehicle's driving power is provided by one or more of these drive systems, depending on the actual driving conditions.

Can a leaking shock absorber be repaired?

Leaking shock absorbers cannot be repaired. Shock absorber oil leakage will affect driving comfort, significantly impact vehicle handling, and reduce the service life of other components. Symptoms of shock absorber damage include: 1. Abnormal noises from the shock absorber when driving on bumpy roads; 2. Visible oil leakage on the exterior of the shock absorber; 3. Excessive body bouncing and instability when driving on uneven surfaces; 4. High temperature on the shock absorber casing after driving. The working principle of shock absorbers is: When relative motion occurs between the frame/body and axle due to vibration, the piston inside the shock absorber moves up and down, causing the oil in the shock absorber chamber to repeatedly flow from one chamber to another through different orifices. The friction between the orifice walls and the oil, along with the internal friction between oil molecules, creates damping force that converts vehicle vibration energy into heat energy, which is then absorbed by the shock absorber and dissipated into the air.

Why is a 95% passing score required for Subject One?

There is no such statement. According to the regulations on the application and use of motor vehicle driving licenses, the passing score for Subject One of the motor vehicle driving license test is 90 points, with a full score of 100 points. The test randomly selects 100 questions from the question bank, with each question worth 1 point, and the test duration is 45 minutes. Subject One test content: Driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; Road traffic conditions and traffic regulations; Road traffic safety violations and penalties; Road traffic accident handling regulations; Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; Local regulations; Knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; Special knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject One test precautions: During the Subject One test, students should pay attention to their attire—no slippers are allowed, and electronic devices and bags are prohibited in the examination room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in the locker before entering the examination room. Upon entering the examination room, the identity verification area will assign seats. After finding your seat, begin the test. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and adhere to test discipline. If you fail the first attempt, there is a retake opportunity on the same day. If you fail again, you will need to pay and reschedule. After the test, queue to collect the score report and sign it. Failure to sign will render the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject One test. Each subject can be taken once, and if you fail, you can retake it once. If you do not attend the retake or fail the retake, the test will be terminated, and the applicant must reschedule. However, Subject Two and Subject Three only allow five attempts. Subject Two and Subject Three tests must be scheduled at least ten days apart. If you fail the Subject Three safety and civilized driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test scores remain valid. The driving test consists of three subjects: Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three. Subject One refers to the test on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge. Subject Two refers to the field driving skills test. Subject Three is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safety and civilized driving knowledge tests. The safety and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject Three, so it is commonly referred to as Subject Four. However, in official terms (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), there is no such thing as Subject Four.
