The power supply for a dash cam can be connected to the cigarette lighter socket or to the ACC power source in the fuse box. Dash cams typically come with both built-in and external power supply interfaces. The built-in power source is usually a lithium battery, while the external power supply is generally provided through the cigarette lighter. For safety reasons, the capacity of the built-in battery is usually very small, as lithium batteries have limited capacity. Therefore, dash cams primarily rely on external power sources for operation. A dash cam is a device that records images, sounds, and other relevant information during vehicle travel. After installation, it can record the entire driving process in video and audio, providing evidence in case of traffic accidents. It is important to note that the recorded video footage from a dash cam should not be edited, as tampering with the footage may render it useless in the event of an accident.

Is the rear suspension of the Peugeot 508 an independent suspension?

The rear suspension of the Peugeot 508 is not an independent suspension; it uses a multi-link independent suspension. Generally, cars use MacPherson strut independent suspension for the front suspension, while the rear suspension may use a torsion beam non-independent suspension or a multi-link independent suspension. Some supercars may use a double-wishbone independent suspension for the rear suspension. In an independent suspension, there is no connection between the two wheels, so the movement of one wheel does not interfere with the other. Using an independent suspension can improve the comfort and handling of the vehicle. The Peugeot 508 has a bold exterior, with sharp headlights and a wide grille that give the car a modern look, making it very suitable for business purposes in terms of styling.

What is audit in automobiles?

Audit in automobiles is a new quality inspection method. Significance of audit: It is a voluntary internal supervision behavior where enterprises simulate users to monitor their own product quality. It is applicable to all mass-produced products with stable quality. Currently, many large automobile manufacturers both domestically and internationally use AUDIT for internal supervision of their products. Connotation of the AUDIT method: Manufacturing enterprises conduct quality inspections and evaluations on products that have passed inspection, based on the perspective and requirements of users. They identify quality defects, assign responsibility, analyze the causes of defects, and take corrective measures to eliminate them, thereby gradually improving product quality. The AUDIT method determines the deduction points based on the severity of defects, with more points deducted indicating lower user satisfaction.

What does Bora Legend off mean?

Bora Legend off is an indicator for the vehicle stability system. Adjusting brake force distribution: To prevent the rear wheels from locking up first, it generally only fails when there is a hardware malfunction in the module. Preventing wheel lock-up: By calculating the vehicle's slip rate and controlling it near the peak adhesion coefficient, this is a passive safety control. Traction control system: It typically operates in low-adhesion road conditions where the drive wheels slip. The TCS requests the engine to reduce torque while applying slight braking to ensure smooth vehicle start-up. Vehicle dynamic stability control system: It mainly corrects understeer and oversteer by actively pressurizing individual wheels.
