Horsepower is measured in PS, commonly known as 'horse'. Horsepower is a unit of power commonly used in engineering and technology, serving as a physical quantity to measure a car's maximum speed. The greater the horsepower, the higher the car's top speed. Classification of horsepower: 1. Metric horsepower: Also known as 'meter horsepower'. It is set at a value very close to imperial horsepower, defined as the work done to lift 75 kilograms-force by one meter in one second. 1 metric horsepower = 75 kilogram-force·meter/second = 735 watts. 2. Imperial horsepower: Countries like the UK and the US use imperial horsepower. 1 imperial horsepower equals 550 foot-pounds/second, equivalent to 745.7 watts.

Where to Check Tire Pressure for the 7th Generation Elantra?

The tire pressure for the 7th generation Elantra can be checked on the display screen, with the normal tire pressure typically around 2.2-2.5 bar. Tire pressure monitoring involves real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure during vehicle operation, alerting the driver to leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three commonly used tire pressure monitoring methods: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: Direct tire pressure monitoring devices use pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure tire pressure. The pressure information is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the tire pressure data. The system automatically alerts when the tire pressure is too low or there is a leak. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that wheel to become smaller, making it rotate faster than the other wheels. By comparing the rotational speed differences between tires, the system monitors tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure alert systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Introduction: It combines the advantages of both systems mentioned above, equipping direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and incorporating a four-wheel indirect system. Compared to a full direct system, this hybrid system can reduce costs and overcome the indirect system's inability to detect simultaneous low pressure in multiple tires. However, it still cannot provide real-time data of the actual pressure in all four tires like a direct system.

Does Snow Melting on the Car Damage the Paint?

Most modern car paints are metallic finishes, which are generally unaffected. The key issue is that urban snow, due to pollution, contains acidic and alkaline corrosive substances that can slightly erode the car paint. Especially when snow treated with de-icing agents splashes onto the car, it can corrode the paint, chassis, and tires, harming the paint. It's advisable to wash the car promptly. To protect the paint, it's recommended to apply a glaze sealant at a 4S shop every late autumn, which helps maintain the paint in better condition. Daily car paint maintenance methods include: 1. Prompt dust removal: Clean dust off the car body before, during, and after use to minimize static electricity attracting dust. 2. Wash the car after rain: Raindrops on the car gradually shrink, increasing the concentration of acidic substances. If not rinsed with clean water promptly, the paint can be damaged over time. 3. Avoid washing the car in high temperatures: Wash the car only after the engine has cooled down, and avoid washing under direct sunlight or high temperatures to prevent detergent residues from drying and leaving marks. When washing the car yourself, use specialized detergents and neutral water, avoiding highly alkaline laundry detergents, soapy water, or strong cleaners to prevent stripping the paint's protective oils and accelerating aging.

What is the name of Mercedes-Benz's pre-collision safety system?

Mercedes-Benz's pre-collision safety system is called PRESAFE, also known as the Pre-Safe Protection System. It provides the vehicle with the ability to react and make certain self-protection adjustments when detecting danger to avoid or reduce the degree of injury. Specifically, the PRESAFE system anticipates hazards through ESP and BAS sensors and triggers preventive measures to protect the driver and passengers. While driving, when there is a risk of skidding due to understeer or oversteer, the PRESAFE warning safety system will activate, for example, the driver and front passenger seat belts are tightened by electric retractable tensioners.
