Why does Foshan have three license plates?

Because originally, Nanhai and Shunde, two of the five districts in Foshan, were independent cities with their own license plates. After being merged into Greater Foshan, these two cities retained their own license plate codes, hence Foshan has three license plates. Below is more information about vehicle license plates: 1. The function of license plates: License plates are the identification numbers for vehicles, and their significance to vehicles is like that of an ID number to a person. License plates are used for numbering and information registration of vehicles, and their main purpose is to identify the region to which the vehicle belongs, as well as to trace the owner and registration information of the vehicle. 2. Motor vehicle license plate numbers: Motor vehicle license plate numbers consist of the registration authority code and the license plate number. For cars, the license plate number is structured in two rows: the upper row is the registration authority code, and the lower row is the license plate number. The registration authority code consists of two characters, a Chinese character and an English letter. The Chinese character is the abbreviation of the province, autonomous region, or municipality directly under the central government, and the English letter is the code of the vehicle management office.

What is the power output of the BMW 528?

The BMW 528 has a power output of 180KW, equivalent to 245 horsepower, roughly comparable to a 3.0-liter engine. Introduction to Automotive Power: Automotive power refers to the work done by a vehicle per unit of time. Power is the measure of work done by an object per unit of time. Higher power generally results in greater torque and increased pulling force for the vehicle. Maximum power is commonly used to describe a car's performance capabilities, typically expressed in horsepower (PS) or kilowatts (kW), where 1 horsepower equals 0.735 kilowatts. Power is a physical quantity that indicates how fast work is done, defined in physics as P=W/t, with the unit being watts (W). Power Units: Power units include kW, PS, HP, BHP, WHP, and the previously used Italian unit CV. Among these, kilowatt (kW) is the international standard unit, where 1kW equals 1000W. If 1000 joules of work is done in 1 second, the power is 1kW. In everyday language, power is often colloquially referred to as horsepower, with the unit being 'horsepower,' similar to how torque is commonly called 'twisting force.' In automobiles, the primary source of power is the engine, and the engine's power is calculated based on torque.

Where is the power steering pump located?

Steering power pump is located near the pulley driven by the engine accessory belt, while the electronic power steering is under the steering wheel. Power steering mainly assists the driver in adjusting the direction of the car, reducing the force required to turn the steering wheel. Of course, power steering also plays a certain role in the safety and economy of the car. More details are as follows: 1. Power steering systems can be roughly divided into three categories: mechanical hydraulic power steering system, electro-hydraulic power steering system, and electric power steering system. 2. The mechanical hydraulic power steering system generally consists of components such as hydraulic pump, oil pipe, pressure flow control valve body, V-type transmission belt, and oil reservoir. This system works regardless of whether the car is turning or not, and when turning at low speed, the hydraulic pump needs to output more power to obtain greater assistance. 3. The main components of the electro-hydraulic power steering system include oil reservoir, power steering control unit, electric pump, steering gear, power steering sensor, etc. The power steering control unit and the electric pump are an integrated structure. 4. The electro-hydraulic power steering system overcomes the shortcomings of the traditional hydraulic power steering system. The hydraulic pump it uses is no longer directly driven by the engine belt, but uses an electric pump, and all its working states are calculated by the electronic control unit based on signals such as the vehicle's speed and steering angle to achieve the optimal state.

What to Do If the Shock Absorbers Are Too Hard?

The solutions for excessively hard shock absorbers are as follows: 1. New car break-in period: Generally, the shock absorbers feel too hard because the car is new, and the components have not fully broken in yet. It is normal for the owner to feel that the shock absorbers are too hard, and the situation will improve after the break-in period. 2. Reduce tire pressure: The hardness of the shock absorbers can be adjusted by changing the tire pressure. However, the reduced tire pressure should still be within the normal range. This method can provide slight relief. 3. Upgrade to adjustable shock absorbers: Consult professionals and, if modifications are allowed, replace the shock absorbers with adjustable ones, such as coilover shock absorbers, which can also adjust height and damping. Additional information: 1. Telescopic shock absorbers are widely used in automotive suspension systems and can dampen both compression and extension strokes, known as double-acting shock absorbers. There are also new types of shock absorbers, including gas-filled shock absorbers and adjustable-resistance shock absorbers. 2. It is important to note that the hardness of car shock absorbers is designed based on the vehicle's specifications. Unauthorized modifications may affect the car's performance and safety and carry certain risks. If modifications are necessary, they should be performed at a reputable professional shop.

What is the reason for the hissing sound of a leaking lighter?

A lighter leaking gas with a hissing sound poses risks of explosion and combustion, so it should be placed in a safe location first. Below are the precautions for using lighters: 1. Do not attempt self-repair: The structure of gas lighters is very complex, especially the numerous springs and hairsprings inside. Due to space and hardness issues, they cannot be reassembled without specialized tools once disassembled. 2. Adjust the flame according to the manual: After obtaining the device, do not frequently adjust the flame. Once the flame is set, avoid further adjustments. When adjusting, pay close attention to the key points in the manual, and do not exceed 10 degrees at a time. It is particularly important to note that some adjustment mechanisms will render the device unusable if turned beyond 90 degrees. 3. Use clean gas for refilling: It is recommended to use specialized gas canisters. Although counterfeit products may still exist, major cities generally offer reliable options. If using ordinary gas canisters, ensure they are clean. A simple method is to press the nozzle and smell it before refilling; if odorless, the gas is suitable. 4. Avoid direct sunlight exposure: Direct sunlight on a gas lighter does not cause explosion but leads to the accumulation of a large amount of mixed gas in the tube. Upon ignition, the gas may break through the seal, causing permanent leakage due to seal failure.
