The rod connecting the wheels is called the car suspension. Definition of car suspension: The suspension system refers to all the force-transmitting connection devices between the car frame and the axle or wheels. Its function is to transmit forces and torques between the wheels and the frame, buffer the impact from uneven roads to the frame or body, and dampen the resulting vibrations to ensure smooth driving. Non-independent suspension system: The structural feature of a non-independent suspension system is that the wheels on both sides are connected by an integral axle, and the wheels together with the axle are suspended under the frame or body through an elastic suspension system.

Original compulsory insurance copy and a copy. 5. Tax payment certificate, etc. The required materials for registration may vary by region, so please refer to the local vehicle management office's regulations. 6. The validity period of a temporary movement permit is generally 3 days, while that of a temporary license plate is usually 30 days. The maximum period from purchasing a new car to officially registering it is generally 3 months.

Is the Envision's dual-clutch transmission wet or dry?

The Envision's dual-clutch transmission is dry. Here is the relevant information: 1. The difference between dry and wet dual-clutch transmissions lies in the working environment of their clutch plates. A wet dual-clutch has its clutch plates immersed in transmission fluid, while a dry dual-clutch's plates are in direct contact with the engine flywheel. 2. The clutch is located between the engine and the transmission, acting as a 'switch' for power transfer between them. It is a transmission mechanism that can both transmit and cut off power. Its main functions are to ensure smooth vehicle starting, reduce impact loads on transmission gears during gear shifts, and prevent overload in the drivetrain. In most vehicles, gear shifts are achieved through the engagement and disengagement of the clutch, which results in a temporary interruption of power transfer during the process.

Will touch-up paint dry in 20 minutes?

Touch-up paint applied with a pen will not dry in 20 minutes; even in a high-temperature room of 50-60 degrees Celsius during winter, it takes several hours to fully dry. Below is relevant information about automotive touch-up painting: 1. Preparations needed for touch-up painting: When performing vehicle touch-up painting, 4S shops typically recommend that owners leave their keys and, accompanied by the owner, record the vehicle's mileage, fuel gauge reading, overall condition, and external scratches. The owner confirms and signs, and they are also reminded to remove any valuables from the car. 2. Safety: Nowadays, most reputable 4S shops have surveillance cameras installed, so owners can review the footage in case of lost items.

Can SN and SP engine oils be mixed?

Whether SN and SP engine oils can be mixed. SP represents the quality grade of engine oil, with SG, SJ, SL, SM, and the subsequent SP being grades for gasoline engine oils. SP is currently the highest grade for gasoline engine oils. The higher the grade of the oil, the better its various technical indicators, which can significantly extend the engine's service life, prolong oil change intervals and maintenance cycles, and reduce car maintenance costs. The difference between SN and SP engine oils lies in the thickness (or viscosity) of the oil at a certain temperature, which can also be described as the difference in phosphorus content. Below is a detailed introduction: 1. SN engine oil has a relatively lower phosphorus content; moreover, in terms of viscosity comparison between SN and SP, SP has a slightly higher viscosity value; 2. This indicates that SP's oil film is stronger than SN's, offering better protective performance. Additionally, SP provides stable improvements over SN in terms of noise reduction, fuel consumption, and acceleration performance.

How long does it take to charge a NIO?

NIO fast charging can charge to 80% in 50 minutes and fully charge in 1.5 hours. Slow charging takes 9-10 hours to reach 80% and requires 12 hours for a full charge. Regular battery maintenance: In daily life, cars need maintenance and care. Even if the car is not driven for a long time, it is necessary to occasionally start the engine to let it run and charge the battery, preventing the battery from being in a discharged state and thus protecting the battery from damage. Develop good car usage habits: Daily good car usage habits should be cultivated, such as not using the radio loudly or charging mobile phones, using air pumps, etc., when the engine is off. Over time, these habits can lead to battery discharge and shorten the battery's lifespan.

Should the small stones inside the tires be removed?

Tire stones need to be removed, otherwise they may cause the following hazards: 1. Air leakage: Some stones are sharp and may puncture the outer rubber layer of the tire during high-speed driving. 2. Abnormal tire noise: The main sources of noise during driving are the sound from the engine compartment and tire noise. Once many small stones get stuck in the tire, the tire noise will significantly increase, potentially distracting the driver. 3. Flying gravel, endangering vehicles and pedestrians: When driving at high speed, small gravel stuck in the tire grooves may be thrown out, harming vehicles and pedestrians. 4. Affecting tire performance: The grooves on the tire are designed for water drainage. If they are filled with small stones, the drainage effect will be weakened. Driving on slippery roads with reduced tire grip or braking performance can easily lead to skidding.
