BMW and Audi are not participating in F1 for the following reasons: 1. Audi: F1 cars must adhere to the same technical regulations, requiring all cars to be rear-wheel drive. Audi's Quattro models are all-wheel drive, and the brand lacks experience in manufacturing rear-wheel-drive cars, hence its absence from F1. 2. BMW: BMW withdrew from F1 not only due to poor performance but also because its team's weakness in aerodynamics made subsequent races extremely challenging. For most of the season, the team struggled in difficult conditions. Since exiting F1 in 2009, BMW has shifted its focus to Formula E (FE) racing, where it has become highly competitive in the electric racing sector.

How to reset the fog light warning light on Audi Q7

The fog light warning light needs to be cleared with a computer at an authorized 4S dealership. Here is relevant information about automotive fog lights: 1. Classification: Divided into front fog lights and rear fog lights. Front fog lights are typically bright yellow, while rear fog lights are red. The symbols differ slightly - the front fog light symbol has downward light beams, while the rear fog light symbol shows parallel beams. The control is located on the vehicle's dashboard; 2. Purpose: Fog lights enhance visibility during foggy or rainy conditions with poor visibility, making the vehicle more noticeable to others. Therefore, fog light sources need strong penetration capability, with most vehicles using halogen fog lights; 3. Fog light switch: The fog light control has three positions - position 0 turns them off, position 1 controls front fog lights, and position 2 controls rear fog lights.

What is the wiper size of Changan CS55?

The wiper size of Changan CS55 is 22 inches for the main driver's side and 14 inches for the passenger's side. Wipers, also known as windshield wipers, are devices used to remove raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield to improve the driver's visibility and enhance driving safety. Maintenance methods for wipers: 1. In winter when the weather is colder, car owners should immediately remove any accumulated water on the wiper blades and windshield after washing the car to prevent the wipers from freezing and failing to work properly. 2. Regularly check your wiper blades for cracks or damage. If any are found, replace them immediately to prevent the blades from scratching your car's windshield. 3. If the car is not used for a long time, avoid parking it outdoors. If outdoor parking is unavoidable, it is best to lift the wipers to prevent them from freezing to the windshield when snow melts. 4. After each use of the wipers, promptly remove any ice left on the blades. When leaving the car overnight, place a towel between the wiper blades and the windshield to prevent them from sticking together due to dew or frost.

What is the normal tire pressure for the 2021 Emgrand?

The normal tire pressure for the 2021 Emgrand is between 2.4-2.5 bar. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the recommended tire pressures for different types of tires are as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5 bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9 bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5 bar. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced friction and adhesion of the tires, affecting braking performance; Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates uneven wear of the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Excessive stretching of tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; Decreased puncture resistance. Sharp objects like nails or glass can easily penetrate the tire, leading to internal cracks or blowouts. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increases friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes heavy steering and deviation, compromising driving safety; Increases movement of tire components, leading to abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; Reduces the functionality of cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the bead area and causing abnormal wear; Multiplies friction with the ground, rapidly increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength. High-speed driving may lead to blowouts; Increases tire deformation, leading to sidewall cracks and excessive flexing, which generates heat, accelerates rubber aging, fatigues the cord layers, and breaks cords. It also increases the tire's contact area, accelerating shoulder wear.

What are the body dimensions of the Mercedes-Benz GLC?

The body dimensions of the Mercedes-Benz GLC are 4765mm in length, 1898mm in width, and 1648mm in height, according to official data. The length of the Mercedes-Benz GLC refers to the distance between two vertical lines perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the vehicle. The width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the vehicle's supporting plane. The Mercedes-Benz GLC is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 258Ps, a maximum power of 190kW, and a maximum torque of 370Nm, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. There are national regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard "GB1589-89," the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking in adjacent lanes. This means that, under national standards, the significance of vehicle width data lies in ensuring enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the requirements of public road usage.
