Luxury cars place the battery in the trunk to balance the front and rear weight distribution of the vehicle. Positioning the battery at the rear helps prevent the front from becoming too heavy. If the front is too heavy, it can negatively impact the car's handling. Most luxury cars feature front-engine, rear-wheel-drive configurations, and many achieve a near-perfect 50:50 weight distribution between the front and rear. Additional information about car batteries is as follows: 1. The battery is a crucial component in a car; without it, the vehicle cannot operate normally. 2. When the engine is not running, the battery supplies power to all the electronic devices in the car.

What does a range of 500km mean?

Range of 500km means the maximum distance that can be traveled with the remaining fuel in the tank at a relatively economical speed is 500km. Definition of range: Generally refers to the total distance a vehicle can travel from a full tank of fuel or fully charged battery until it can no longer move. For new energy vehicles, the maximum battery range refers to the highest distance the vehicle can travel in pure electric mode relying solely on the battery's charge. The battery in new energy vehicles is the key component of the entire power system, providing electricity to the whole new energy system. However, limited by materials and technology, the range provided by the battery is restricted. Vehicle odometer range: Includes two roller counters driven by the same flexible shaft, respectively accumulating the trip distance and total distance. The trip distance usually has four digits and can be reset for short-term counting, while the total distance has six digits and cannot be reset.

Which lane should ETC car owners take on National Day expressways?

During the National Day free expressway period, ETC car owners should choose the following lanes: • Enter through ETC lane and exit through ETC lane - no charge • Enter through manual lane and exit through manual lane - no charge • Enter through manual lane and exit through ETC lane - no entry information recorded, barrier won't lift (cannot exit) • Enter through ETC lane and exit through manual lane - passable without charge ETC usage precautions: • The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. Maintain over 10 meters distance from vehicles ahead to prevent accidental payment for other vehicles (in case of faulty or missing ETC devices). • The ETC lane recognition speed limit is 20km/h. Excessive speed will cause reading failure and payment deduction issues. • Any unauthorized OBU device movement, detached/loose ETC tags will deactivate the electronic tag. These can be inspected at ETC service banks or highway offices. Non-deliberate detachment only requires reactivation.

What is the reason for the car tail lights working normally but the brake lights not lighting up when stepping on the brake?

When the tail lights are on but the brake lights are not lighting up, it may be caused by a faulty brake switch, brake light wiring, brake light bulb, or circuit fuse. Solutions for brake lights not working are as follows: Check the brake light bulb: The brake lights are the most frequently used lights on a car, and the bulbs have a relatively short lifespan. When the brake lights fail to illuminate, the first thing to consider is the brake light bulb. Simply replacing the bulb may solve the issue. Check the brake light switch: If the brake light switch is faulty, none of the brake lights will work. During inspection, you can use a wire to bridge the brake light switch. If the brake lights come on, it indicates the switch is faulty, and replacing it will resolve the problem. Check the fuse: If both the bulb and switch are confirmed to be functioning properly, the next step is to check the fuse. Some cars do not have a separate fuse for the brake lights and share one with other electrical devices. In this case, you can check the operation of other electrical devices in the car. Identify any non-functioning devices and replace the corresponding fuse.
