The working principle of the center differential is as follows: 1. Power input of the differential: The driven gear (bevel gear) drives the rotation of the differential housing. 2. Power output of the differential: Two side gears, connected to the drive shafts (also known as half-shafts) on both sides, transmit power to the wheels on both sides. 3. Rotation of the planetary gears: This refers to the rotation of the planetary gears around the planetary gear shafts. 4. Revolution of the planetary gears: This refers to the rotation of the planetary gears around the axis of the side gears. Information about the center differential is as follows: 1. The function of the center differential is to transmit power to both half-shafts while allowing them to rotate at different speeds, ensuring that both wheels travel at varying distances in a pure rolling motion as much as possible, thereby reducing friction between the tires and the ground. 2. Common differential locks generally include the following types: forced locking type, high-friction self-locking type, jaw clutch type, Torsen type, and viscous coupling type.

What is a Multi-Function Steering Wheel?

"A multi-function steering wheel includes settings such as audio control and air conditioning adjustment. Introduction to Multi-Function Steering Wheel: A multi-function steering wheel refers to the placement of some function buttons on either side or below the steering wheel, allowing the driver to operate it more conveniently. Configuration of Multi-Function Steering Wheel: Currently, common multi-function steering wheels cover functions such as multimedia system control, Bluetooth phone, cruise control, and voice control. Drivers can directly operate many electronic devices in the car on the steering wheel without having to search for various buttons on the center console, allowing them to focus more on the road ahead and greatly improving driving safety. Originally an equipment for mid-range cars, it has gradually been adopted by family cars with technological advancements. Many small/compact cars launched in 2013 are equipped with this function. Although most are limited to audio control, it provides considerable convenience and enjoyment for family cars."

What is a Runaway Truck Ramp?

Runaway Truck Ramp meaning introduction: Runaway truck ramps are generally set up on long downhill sections of highways to prevent vehicles from losing control. They consist of a steep slope usually covered with thick gravel to help slow down vehicles. A runaway truck ramp is essentially a large net built outside the ramp that can catch drivers or vehicle fronts that might otherwise fly off, reducing the incidence of severe accidents. Below are detailed explanations of related content: 1. Entrance and exit ramps: These are auxiliary connecting sections for entering and exiting main roads, which can be "at-grade ramps" or "interchange ramps." They are major components of road interchanges; 2. Up and down ramps: These are auxiliary connecting slopes for entering and exiting elevated roads, usually "interchange ramps." Note: Both of the above (items 1 and 2) typically incorporate collector-distributor road designs; 3. Direct ramp: Places the right-turn lane on the right side; 4. Indirect ramp: Places the left-turn lane on the right side, using a loop to connect to other roads; 5. Semi-direct ramp: Similar to an indirect ramp but uses a longer, more undulating elevated road instead of a loop as the connecting ramp.

Should You Use P Gear or N Gear When Warming Up the Car?

When warming up the car, use P gear. The method for warming up the car is as follows: 1. Start the vehicle and keep the air conditioning turned off; 2. Let the engine idle for 1 minute; 3. Drive slowly after the engine runs smoothly; 4. Once the temperature gauge rises by 1 to 2 bars, you can drive normally and use the air conditioning. The steps for parking an automatic transmission vehicle are: 1. Start the engine, press the foot brake, and shift into D gear; 2. Release the handbrake and foot brake, then press the accelerator to start moving; 3. Press the brake to stop the car; 4. Shift from D gear to N gear and engage the handbrake; 5. Press the foot brake and shift from N gear to P gear; 6. Release the foot brake, turn off the power, and remove the key.

What is the installation direction of the engine connecting rod?

Engine connecting rods have forward-facing marks for installation direction. Here are the specific details: 1. Connecting rod overview: The connecting rod assembly bears the gas force transmitted by the piston pin, as well as the inertial forces from its own swinging motion and the reciprocating motion of the piston assembly. These forces vary periodically in magnitude and direction. Therefore, the connecting rod is subjected to alternating loads such as compression and tension. The connecting rod must have sufficient fatigue strength and structural rigidity. Insufficient fatigue strength often leads to fractures in the connecting rod body or bolts, potentially causing severe engine failure. Insufficient rigidity can result in bending deformation of the rod body and oval deformation of the big end, leading to uneven wear on the piston, cylinder, bearings, and crank pin. 2. Composition: The connecting rod body consists of three parts: the small end, which connects to the piston pin; the big end, which connects to the crankshaft; and the rod shank, which connects the small end to the big end.

Where to Stop When Reversing into the Garage?

When reversing into the garage, stop after the car is fully inside. Here are the specific details: 1. First point: The moment to turn the steering wheel fully left/right when reversing, characterized by the lower edge of the left rearview mirror aligning with the starting line (dashed line). 2. Second point: When the car body is completely inside the garage, straight, and centered, it indicates that the right-side reversing is about to be completed, and this is the moment to stop—the so-called second point. Below is additional information related to the Subject 2 test items: 1. Assessment content: The five assessment items are reversing into the garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving on a curved path. 2. Requirements: Subject 2 requires 26 study hours, including 2 hours of theoretical knowledge, so the practical training is actually 24 hours.

What Displacement is Considered Large?

"A 2.4L displacement is considered large. Displacement and Performance: Displacement and Performance: Generally, cars with larger displacements are bigger in size, and the engine releases more energy per unit time, meaning better power performance. For example, a good off-road vehicle should at least have a V8, 4L engine. Displacement Classification: In China, the classification of passenger cars is determined by the size of the displacement. Mini cars have a displacement of ≤1.0L; compact cars range from 1.0L to 1.6L; mid-size cars range from 1.6L to 2.5L; executive cars range from 2.5L to 4.0L; and luxury cars have a displacement of >4.0L."
