Car structure is divided into two parts: engine and chassis. The following is a detailed introduction to the structure of a car: Car engine: The engine consists of 2 major mechanisms and 5 major systems: the crank-connecting rod mechanism; the valve mechanism; the fuel supply system; the cooling system; the lubrication system; the ignition system; the starting system. Car chassis: The function of the chassis is to support and install the car engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the car, receiving the power from the engine, enabling the car to move and ensuring normal driving. Body structure: The body is installed on the frame of the chassis and is used for the driver, passengers to ride or to load goods. The body of a car or bus is generally an integrated structure, while the body of a truck is generally composed of two parts: the cab and the cargo box.

What Causes the Squeaking Noise When Releasing the Brake During Startup?

Here are the reasons for the squeaking noise when releasing the brake during startup: 1. Releasing the brake too slowly when starting. When you gradually release the brake pedal, the engine already has sufficient power to drive the car forward, but the brake hasn't been fully released yet. As a result, the moving wheels are restrained by the brake system, naturally causing a squeaking noise. 2. The brake disc and brake pads are stuck together due to rust, causing the noise. This situation usually occurs after driving in rainy weather and then leaving the car unused for several days. The brake disc and pads rust and stick together, leading to noise when starting the car again. 3. The semi-metallic material of the brake pads. Brake pads contain a large amount of metal fibers, which sometimes form metal particles. These particles can produce a harsh noise when pressing or releasing the brakes. Typically, this noise disappears after driving for a while. If it persists, it may indicate poor manufacturing quality, and it's advisable to replace the brake pads promptly to avoid damaging the brake disc.

How to Adjust Rearview Mirrors to the Optimal Position?

Adjusting rearview mirrors to the optimal position can be done as follows: 1. Rearview mirror: Adjust it to maximize the view of objects behind the vehicle through the rear windshield. 2. Left side mirror: Adjust it to see the left rear tire's ground plane while also maximizing the view of objects on the left rear side of the vehicle. 3. Right side mirror: Adjust it to see the right rear tire's ground plane while also maximizing the view of objects on the right rear side of the vehicle. Information about rearview mirrors is as follows: 1. Rearview mirrors are tools that allow the driver, seated in the driver's seat, to directly obtain external information about the rear, sides, and lower parts of the vehicle. 2. Rearview mirrors involve a field of vision issue, referring to the range that the mirror surface can reflect. The industry mentions three key elements of the field of vision: the distance between the driver's eyes and the rearview mirror; the size of the rearview mirror; and the radius of curvature of the rearview mirror.

What does Elysee 16V mean?

Elysee 16V refers to the engine being a 16-valve model, equipped with a 16V engine. Here's an introduction about valves: 1. 'V' is the abbreviation for valve. 8V means two valves per cylinder - one intake valve and one exhaust valve, totaling 8 valves for 4 cylinders, hence 8V - this is the traditional engine design. 2. Similarly, 16V means 4 valves per cylinder (typically 2 intake and 2 exhaust valves, or sometimes 3 intake and 1 exhaust), totaling 16 valves for 4 cylinders - this is a multi-valve engine. 3. The 8V design has relatively simpler structure, lower cost, easier maintenance, and better low-speed performance, making it suitable for urban driving. 4. The advantages of 16V engines become fully apparent at high RPMs, allowing more complete fuel combustion, reducing fuel consumption, and increasing power output.

How to Repair Cracked Car Glass?

Car glass cracks need to be addressed promptly. For short cracks, repairs are possible, while for long cracks, the best solution is to replace the glass. Below is an introduction to repairing car glass cracks: 1. Short cracks in car glass are typically repaired using specialized repair tools and resin. The resin is injected into the crack using the repair tool, filling and solidifying to eliminate the gap, thereby achieving the repair. It is important to note that if the glass is cracked, repairable cracks should be fixed as soon as possible, and those requiring replacement should be addressed promptly. During driving, the windshield is subjected to wind resistance and constant vibrations. Over time, small cracks can gradually extend, lengthen, and expand in area. At this point, glass that could have been repaired may only be replaceable. 2. Long cracks in car glass are difficult to repair. The effectiveness of repairing large cracks is poor, often leaving visible marks. Additionally, the strength of the repaired windshield cannot be guaranteed, posing a risk of re-cracking and potential safety hazards. Therefore, replacing the glass is recommended. Moreover, glass replacement can be expensive, so it is advisable to use insurance coverage if available.
