The round disc inside the steering wheel is the airbag. Here is relevant information about airbags: 1. Introduction: The airbag is installed in the center position of the steering wheel. Nowadays, the horn buttons of many car models are also placed in the center of the steering wheel, though a few models position them at the three or nine o'clock positions. If the vehicle suffers a severe impact, the airbag will deploy from the center of the steering wheel. 2. Activation Conditions: To ensure the airbag deploys at the appropriate time, automakers have established specific activation criteria. The airbag will only inflate when these conditions are met. Even in some traffic accidents where passengers suffer head injuries or life-threatening situations, and the vehicle is nearly totaled, the airbag will not deploy if the activation conditions are not satisfied.

What does BYD 55km mean?

BYD refers to the BYD Qin Plus-DMI with a range of 55km. The DM-i Super Hybrid technology is designed based on the high-safety Blade Battery and high-performance high-power electric motor, primarily relying on the high-power efficient electric motor for driving, while the gasoline engine's main role is to generate electricity within the efficient speed range. Here is more relevant information: 1. Range: Range can also be referred to as endurance capability, which indicates the total distance a vehicle or ship can travel continuously with maximum fuel reserve. For electric vehicles, the range refers to the distance traveled from a fully charged state of the power battery to the end of the test under standard conditions, which is an important economic indicator for electric vehicles. 2. The relationship between range and speed: Due to air resistance, when a car operates at high speed, most of the power is used to overcome air resistance. The magnitude of air resistance is determined by factors such as frontal area and speed. Higher speeds result in greater air resistance, which increases electricity and fuel consumption, directly reducing the range.

Where is the mechanical keyhole of the Audi A4L?

The small hole on the car handle is the mechanical keyhole. Align the mechanical key with the small hole on the handle, insert the key into the hole, and you can open the car door.

What is the Difference Between Dual-Clutch Transmission and AT Transmission?

The difference between a dual-clutch transmission and an AT transmission lies in the fact that the dual-clutch transmission is based on a manual transmission. In addition to offering the flexibility of a manual transmission and the comfort of an automatic transmission, it also provides uninterrupted power output. Traditional automatic transmissions (AT) use a single clutch. Below is a detailed introduction to automotive transmissions: 1. Overview: A transmission is a device that changes the speed ratio and direction of motion, typically located between the clutch and the central drive. It can alter the torque, speed, and direction of motion transmitted from the driving shaft to the driven shaft under different working conditions. Gear-driven transmissions generally consist of a housing and several gears. 2. Classification: Automatic transmissions have become mainstream internationally, mainly including AT, AMT, CVT, and DCT types. Early AT transmission systems were primarily 4AT. AT transmissions achieve automatic gear shifting through an electronically controlled automatic operating system. CVT is a true continuously variable transmission with fewer parts and a compact size. DCT has two clutches.

When should you straighten the steering wheel at the exit of the S-curve in Subject 2?

At the exit of the S-curve in Subject 2, you should straighten the steering wheel when the front of the car is aligned with the exit, then continue driving forward to leave the test area. Below are some tips for navigating the S-curve: 1. Avoid steering too abruptly: Maintain first gear throughout the process and avoid turning the steering wheel too sharply. 2. Take wider turns inside the curve: When entering a right curve, keep the right wheel close to the right edge of the road, and vice versa. While in the curve, adjust the steering wheel to ensure the small rearview mirror on the inner side of the car's hood remains at the edge of the outer white line—neither crossing it nor staying too far from the edge. 3. Adjust direction promptly: Adjust the steering direction in time based on the curve's characteristics and the rear wheel's radius.
