After the car starts, the center of gravity shifts backward, reducing the grip of the front wheels. The Highlander has an issue with the front-to-rear weight distribution, which leads to insufficient front-wheel grip when the center of gravity shifts backward, making it difficult to climb slopes. This problem does not exist in the 4WD version because the rear wheels also provide power. Below is some related information about the Highlander: 1. Body dimensions: The Highlander was officially launched in China in July 2007 as an imported model. It has a body length of 4795mm, a width of 1910mm, a height of 1760mm, a wheelbase of 2790mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 72 liters. 2. Space: The Highlander has always been marketed with its large body, spacious interior, and luxurious and comfortable interior as its main selling points. 3. Powertrain: It is equipped with a 3.5L V6 engine with an output of up to 201 kW, paired with a stepped 5-speed automatic transmission. Its smooth acceleration and good fuel economy make it highly popular in the market, making it a strong competitor in the SUV market.

Which country is the engine of the Exeed LX from?

Exeed LX's engine is made in China. Exeed LX's engine: The Exeed LX is equipped with a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The engine of the Exeed LX has a maximum power of 145kW and a maximum torque of 290Nm. Engine: An engine is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines, external combustion engines, jet engines, electric motors, etc. For example, an internal combustion engine usually converts chemical energy into mechanical energy. The term engine can refer to both the power-generating device and the entire machine including the power device (e.g., gasoline engine, aircraft engine). The engine was first developed in the UK, so the concept of the engine also originates from English, with its original meaning referring to "a mechanical device that generates power."

Is It Safe to Drive a Cloned License Plate Vehicle Without Violations in Another City?

Driving a cloned license plate vehicle without violations in another city is not safe. Below is relevant information about cloned license plate vehicles: 1. Concept: A cloned license plate vehicle refers to a fake license plate with the same number as a real one being used on another vehicle, many of which are refurbished old cars smuggled out after being scrapped. 2. Detailed Introduction: Cloning a license plate means using someone else's license plate. Some vehicles have unclear origins and lack legal procedures, such as illegal smuggled cars, stolen cars, or scrapped cars. These vehicles cannot obtain legal license plates and have to use cloned ones to drive on the road. This disrupts public security control by authorities and creates social instability factors. Cloned license plate vehicles not only severely interfere with good road traffic order but also increase the probability of traffic accidents. Moreover, since cloned license plate vehicles lack legal procedures and insurance, drivers are highly likely to flee after an accident, significantly increasing the difficulty of solving such cases.

Do I Need to Remove Nail Polish for the Driving Test Subject Three?

You do not need to remove nail polish for the Driving Test Subject Three. Below are some important notes regarding the Subject Three test: 1. Five Appointments with a Total of 10 Attempts: The road driving skills test (Subject Three) allows for five scheduled exam appointments. Each appointment includes one regular test and one retest, totaling ten attempts. If you do not attend the retest or fail the retest, you must reschedule the exam. If you fail the fifth scheduled exam, all previously passed subjects will be invalidated, and you will need to retake the test starting from Subject One. 2. Stay Calm During Operations: During gear shifting and light operations, do not let nervousness affect your performance. Acting too early or too late can impact your score, so avoid losing points on the simplest procedures. 3. Practice Makes Perfect: Frequent practice is key to passing the Subject Three test. Observe carefully during practice and learn to handle external factors flexibly to ensure a flawless performance during the actual test.

What causes a four-cylinder diesel engine to emit black smoke and lack power?

Four-cylinder diesel engines emitting black smoke and lacking power are primarily caused by issues such as an overly rich air-fuel mixture, poor mixture formation, or incomplete combustion. Below is relevant information about diesel engines: 1. Concept: A diesel engine is an internal combustion engine that obtains energy by burning diesel fuel. Diesel engines offer advantages such as high power output and good fuel economy. The working process of a diesel engine shares many similarities with gasoline engines, with each operating cycle also going through four strokes: intake, compression, power, and exhaust. 2. Development prospects: The traditional image of diesel engines being heavy, noisy, and emitting black smoke has given many people a poor impression. However, after years of research and the application of new technologies, modern diesel engines are vastly different from their predecessors. Modern diesel engines typically employ technologies such as electronic control injection, common rail, and turbocharged intercooling, achieving significant breakthroughs in weight, noise, and smoke emissions, now comparable to gasoline engines.

Why was the car purchase contract taken away by the 4S store after picking up the car?

After picking up the car, the purchase contract was taken away by the 4S store because they were afraid of compensating for losses in case of vehicle problems. Here are some precautions to consider when picking up a car: 1. Vehicle documentation: The various procedures and documents of the vehicle are undoubtedly the most important factors of a car. Because the procedures include the official invoice and the vehicle certificate, without these, even if you pick up a new car, you cannot register it, which means you cannot drive it legally on the road. 2. Cost of purchasing a car from another location: When buying a car from another location, you should also pay attention to the round-trip travel cost. Before departure, calculate all expenses to ensure that the total cost of buying a car from another location, including the car price, transportation, accommodation, fuel, meals, and other related expenses, is cheaper than buying locally. Only then is it worth purchasing. Otherwise, it will only be a waste of effort and money.

What Are the Causes of Overinflated Tire Pressure?

Reasons for overinflated tire pressure in vehicles: 1. Excessive tire inflation leading to high tire pressure readings; 2. Imbalanced tire dynamics with excessive deflection, causing increased tire wear temperature and elevated tire pressure; 3. Inaccurate wheel alignment (four-wheel alignment) of a particular wheel, resulting in uneven tire wear, higher temperature, and increased tire pressure; 4. Aging and wear of suspension components connected to the wheels, leading to misalignment, increased uneven wear temperature, and higher tire pressure. Hazards of overinflated tire pressure: 1. Overinflated tires reduce friction and adhesion, impairing braking effectiveness and shortening tire lifespan. 2. Overinflation decreases puncture resistance, increasing the risk of tire blowouts. 3. Accelerates localized wear of the central tread pattern, reducing tire life, increasing vehicle vibration, and indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components. 4. Overinflation causes excessive stretching deformation of tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load borne by the vehicle during driving, thereby decreasing resistance to rolling. 5. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, tires are more prone to punctures, leading to internal cracks and blowouts upon impact.
