Toyota Crown and Reiz, among others, are equipped with VVT-i engines. Below is a detailed introduction about automobile engines: 1. Overview: An automobile engine is a device that provides power to a vehicle, determining its power, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental friendliness. Depending on the power source, automobile engines can be categorized into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrid systems. 2. Others: Common gasoline and diesel engines are both types of reciprocating piston internal combustion engines, capable of converting the chemical energy of fuel into the mechanical energy of piston motion and outputting power. Gasoline engines have high rotational speeds, are lightweight, produce less noise, are easy to start, and have lower manufacturing costs. Diesel engines have higher compression ratios, better thermal efficiency, and superior fuel economy and emission performance compared to gasoline engines.

How to Shift from D Gear to S Gear?

While the car is in motion, you can directly shift from D gear to S gear. The D gear can also be engaged into S gear during acceleration. Here is an introduction to shifting from D gear to S gear in an automatic transmission car: 1. When shifting from D gear to S gear in an automatic transmission car, there is no need to press the brake or come to a complete stop. The car can directly shift from D gear to S gear while driving, and the D gear can also be engaged into S gear during acceleration. After shifting to S gear, the power output becomes more intense, and fuel consumption increases accordingly, with power and fuel consumption being directly proportional. 2. For normal driving, D gear is generally used, as it has a very wide range of applications. In situations requiring higher power, S gear or sport mode can be used.

What is the difference between SOHC and DOHC engines?

SOHC engine refers to its intake system using a single overhead camshaft, which means one intake valve and one exhaust valve; DOHC engine refers to its intake system using double overhead camshafts, generally with multiple valves per cylinder, commonly 4 valves. DOHC has two overhead camshafts placed on the cylinder block, the first one drives the intake valves, and the second drives the exhaust valves; SOHC, a single overhead camshaft in the cylinder head uses one camshaft to directly drive the intake and exhaust valves, featuring a simple structure and is suitable for high-speed engines. The single camshaft has a simpler mechanical structure, fewer issues, and greater low-speed torque. The opening times of the intake and exhaust valves in a single camshaft are fixed, but its mechanical simplicity, ease of maintenance, and fuel efficiency are all advantages of SOHC. The double camshaft can adjust the valve overlap angle, thus delivering greater horsepower, but it lacks low-speed torque and, due to its more complex mechanical structure, has higher manufacturing costs and maintenance expenses. The double camshaft technology originates from racing, primarily to control the timing difference between the intake and exhaust valves. Neither is inherently better; single and double camshafts are just structurally different.

Do You Still Need to Press the Brake Pedal to Shift Gears While Driving an Automatic Transmission Car?

For automatic transmission vehicles, you need to press the brake pedal and also press a switch on the gear lever when shifting into P (Park) or R (Reverse) gears. Other gears can be engaged directly without pressing the brake. Additional information is as follows: 1. The requirement to press the brake for shifting is to prevent driver misoperation. Park and Reverse are two critical gears in the transmission system. Mistakes during shifting could cause the vehicle to lurch forward or backward, so for safety reasons, it's mandated that the driver must press the brake. 2. When pressing the brake, avoid pressing too lightly. Otherwise, the brake pedal sensor may not detect that the driver has pressed the brake, and the gear will not be released. Additionally, the vehicle may not achieve optimal braking performance.

The Meaning of 175/70R14

175 indicates the tire width, which is 175 millimeters; 70 is called the aspect ratio, meaning the ratio of the tire's sidewall height to its width is 70%; R is the international code for radial tires, representing "radial tire"; 14 refers to the diameter of the wheel rim, which is 14 inches. Here is some information about tires: 1. Support the entire weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, and transmit forces and moments in other directions; 2. Transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring good adhesion between the wheel and the road surface to improve the car's power, braking, and passability; work together with the car suspension to mitigate impacts during driving and dampen the resulting vibrations; 3. Prevent severe vibrations and early damage to car components, adapt to the vehicle's high-speed performance, reduce driving noise, and ensure driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy efficiency.

How many points are deducted for the car head sweeping the line during reverse parking?

Body sweeping the line means the body is out of line, deducting 100 points, resulting in failure of the current test. Crossing the line, not parking in the designated area, stopping midway, not following the prescribed route or sequence, and exceeding the time limit also result in a 100-point deduction. The two subjects have a total score of 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failure, 20-point deduction, 10-point deduction, and 5-point deduction. The rules for the subject two driving license test state that stopping midway, rolling back, or not following voice prompts result in failure. Wheel or body touching the line also leads to failure. Many learners encounter line-touching issues during subject two learning, with 'touching the line' being the most common reason for failure. The main cause of wheel touching the line is learners not mastering the correct timing for steering. Besides missing the steering timing, another reason could be the steering speed not matching the vehicle speed. Subject two deduction standards: Not wearing a seatbelt: deduct 100 points. Starting the engine without the gear in neutral: deduct 100 points. Not using turn signals (including starting, lane changing, overtaking, turning, and parking); turn signals not used for over three seconds (note this is easily overlooked!); forgetting to turn off or incorrect use of turn signals: deduct 10 points. Stalling once: deduct 10 points. Reverse parking: Not following the prescribed route sequence: deduct 100 points. Body out of line: deduct 100 points. Not parking in the designated area: deduct 100 points. Before reversing, if both front wheels do not pass the control line: deduct 100 points. Exceeding 210 seconds to complete: deduct 100 points. Stopping for over 2 seconds midway: deduct 5 points each time. Slope fixed-point parking and starting: After stopping, if the front bumper is not on the pole line and exceeds 50cm front or back: deduct 100 points. After stopping, if the front bumper is not on the pole line but does not exceed 50cm front or back: deduct 10 points. After stopping, if starting takes over 30 seconds: deduct 100 points. Wheels touching the road edge while driving: deduct 100 points. Rolling back over 30cm when starting: deduct 100 points. After stopping, if the body is over 50cm from the road edge: deduct 100 points. After parking, not tightening the parking brake: deduct 10 points each time. After stopping, if the body is over 30cm but not over 50cm from the road edge: deduct 10 points each time. Rolling back over 10cm but less than 30cm when starting: deduct 5 points each time. Parallel parking: After parking, if the body is out of line: deduct 100 points. Not using or incorrectly using turn signals when parking: deduct 10 points. Exceeding 90 seconds to complete: deduct 100 points. Body touching the parking space line while driving: deduct 10 points each time. Wheels touching the lane line while driving: deduct 10 points each time. Stopping for over 2 seconds midway: deduct 5 points each time. 90-degree turn: Wheels touching the road edge: deduct 100 points. Not using or incorrectly using turn signals during the turn, or not turning them off after: deduct 10 points. Stopping for over 2 seconds midway: deduct 5 points each time. Curve driving: Wheels touching the road edge: deduct 100 points. Stopping for over 2 seconds midway: deduct 100 points. Driving without the gear in second or above: deduct 5 points.
