The steering angle sensor in the Volkswagen Tiguan is located at the bottom of the steering column. The steering angle sensor in a vehicle is used to detect the rotation angle and direction of the steering wheel. The steering angle sensor consists of components such as a photoelectric coupling element and a perforated slot plate. The photoelectric coupling element includes a light-emitting diode and a phototransistor. The perforated slot plate is positioned between the light-emitting diode and the phototransistor and contains numerous small holes. It is a device used to determine the angular position of a shaft, such as the steering column, comprising a coil assembly, coil support, and a coupler element with an angular position related to the shaft's angular position. The steering wheel angle sensor is widely used in vehicle dynamic stability control systems. Its stability and accuracy are directly related to driving safety. Compared to the commonly used 'ABS system' in vehicles today, it not only includes all the functions of the 'ABS system' but can also actively apply brakes when the vehicle loses stability, thereby controlling the 'body posture' and ensuring driving safety to some extent.

What is the function of a car central locking system?

Car central locking system functions to prevent doors from being opened. Below is a partial introduction about car central locking: 1. Central locking: This refers to the switch on the driver's side door. It is a control setting that can simultaneously operate the opening and closing of all vehicle doors. Once activated, people inside the car cannot open the doors unless they lift the window switch. 2. Central door locks: The structure consists of door lock switches, door lock actuators, electromagnetic types, DC motor types, and permanent magnet motor types. When the driver locks the door beside them, all other doors are simultaneously locked. The driver can use the door lock switch to open all doors at once or open a specific door individually.

What is the weight of the Sundiro Honda variator roller?

Sundiro Honda variator rollers weigh around 15-16 grams. Variator Rollers: Generally, the weight of the original variator rollers is designed by considering various usage conditions, making it the most reasonable weight, and it is not advisable to change it casually. If you intend to modify the rollers, heavier rollers may slightly improve top speed, but acceleration performance at medium speeds and climbing ability will decrease. Lighter rollers have the opposite effect, providing slightly quicker acceleration at low to medium speeds, but potentially reducing the top speed, making it harder to reach maximum velocity. In other words, whether you opt for heavier or lighter rollers, the drawbacks tend to outweigh the original benefits, and the expected performance improvement in any specific aspect may be minimal. Heavier Variator Rollers: Due to greater centrifugal force, even with slight rotation, the rollers can quickly reach the outer edge of the pulley, effectively increasing the diameter of the drive pulley and reducing the gear ratio. This causes the driven pulley shoes to quickly engage with the clutch bell, propelling the motorcycle forward. In other words, it allows for low-RPM starts and may even increase top speed because heavier rollers can easily be flung to the outermost edge of the variator pulley. Lighter Variator Rollers: Due to lower centrifugal force, higher RPMs are required to fling the rollers outward. Increased RPM naturally leads to higher fuel consumption and may even reduce top speed because lighter rollers struggle to reach the outermost edge of the variator pulley, preventing the drive pulley from achieving its maximum diameter, which consequently affects top speed.

How many hours does it take to drive 180 kilometers?

It takes one hour and forty minutes to drive 180 kilometers. Here is some information about driving 180 kilometers: 1. Speed: At a speed of 180 kilometers per hour, it takes 1 hour; at 90 kilometers per hour, it takes 2 hours; at 10 kilometers per hour, it takes 18 hours; at 1 kilometer per hour, it takes 180 hours. If the entire journey is on a highway without traffic jams or traffic lights, it takes one hour and forty minutes. 2. Introduction to the issue: There are too many objective factors that affect the result. Factors such as road conditions, the driver's habits, and the vehicle's performance can significantly impact the outcome. A speed of 100 'mai' refers to 100 kilometers per hour. In reality, 'mai' refers to Mile (mile).

What is the safe driving distance in meters?

Safe driving distance is 100 meters. Here is a partial introduction about safe driving distance: 1. Safety distance: There is no absolute numerical concept for safety distance, as it depends on specific circumstances. The faster the speed and the heavier the vehicle, the longer the required interval for a safe distance. Safe distance is also affected by many factors. Generally, when the speed is above 100km/h, the safe distance should be more than 100 meters. 2. Standard: There is no absolute standard for safe distance, only dynamic standards. The most direct and important factor affecting safe distance is speed. When the speed increases, the required braking force, braking distance, and the distance the vehicle travels at original speed during the reaction time all increase accordingly.
