The reasons for a car making a clunking sound when going over speed bumps: The car's stabilizer bar may be loose or the shock absorber may be faulty. Generally, it is rare for the shock absorber itself to produce abnormal noises. Only when the shock absorber's function fails, its condition deteriorates, internal components become loose or detached, the shock absorber's mounting ring bushing is loose, or there is insufficient oil or oil leakage inside can abnormal noises occur. It is recommended to promptly inspect and repair if abnormal noises are detected. Correct methods for passing over speed bumps: 1. Do not go over speed bumps at an angle; pass over them vertically. 2. Do not bypass the speed bump on one side only. 3. Do not go over speed bumps at high speed, especially for models with low ground clearance. When passing over speed bumps, always remember to control your speed.

What is the voltage of a new energy vehicle's cigarette lighter?

The voltage of a cigarette lighter is generally DC 12V. Cigarette lighter fuse current capacity: The maximum current that a cigarette lighter circuit can generally withstand is 10A (some can handle 20A). Based on the cigarette lighter socket's 12V voltage, if the total power of the car's electrical appliances exceeds 120W, the cigarette lighter circuit will be overloaded. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid using electrical appliances with a power exceeding 120W in the vehicle. How a cigarette lighter works: In addition to lighting cigarettes, a car cigarette lighter can also be equipped with a car inverter, which converts the vehicle's 12V, 24V, or 48V DC power into 220V/50Hz AC power for use with ordinary electrical appliances. For example, it can charge mobile electronic devices. It is best to use a split-type car inverter, limiting the power of the electrical appliance to below 150W, ensuring the output current does not exceed the battery's current.

What is the Changan CS75 ambient lighting tutorial?

As a new type of interior decorative lighting, vehicle ambient lighting has always been favored by many young car owners. Ambient lighting consists of LED linear lights that can be installed in desired locations, allowing users to change the color and brightness according to their preferences. By clicking on the vehicle settings in the multimedia display and entering the lighting settings interface, users can adjust the settings. Functions such as brightness, color, and driving ambient lighting can be configured via the multimedia display. The interior ambient lighting serves as decorative lighting, typically in colors like red, blue, and green. Its main purpose is to enhance the vehicle's aesthetics at night, create ambiance, and set the mood inside the cabin. After unlocking the doors, the ambient lights on the dashboard and seat positions will automatically turn on and remain lit. The ambient lights will turn off once the vehicle is locked. The ambient lighting inside the vehicle can be located in areas such as the steering wheel, center console, footwell lights, cup holders, roof, welcome lights, scuff plates, doors, trunk, and headlights.

What is the maximum power of a new energy vehicle?

The maximum power of new energy vehicles is 115kW. Engine maximum power: The maximum power of the engine is the decisive factor in determining the top speed of a car. As the saying goes, 'Acceleration depends on torque, while top speed depends on power.' If the engine power is very small and the car is heavy, it will result in a situation where a small horse pulls a big cart, and the car's top speed will certainly not be high. Only when the engine outputs its maximum power and the car is traveling at a constant speed, the speed at this time is the highest speed. Air resistance encountered by a car at high speeds: Among the various driving resistances of a car, air resistance has the greatest impact on the car. According to tests, when the car speed exceeds 120 km/h, air resistance accounts for about 80% of the total driving resistance; when the speed exceeds 180 km/h, the resistance encountered by the car is almost entirely air resistance, and other resistances can be negligible in comparison.

Can motorcycles be inspected in other regions?

Generally, motorcycles do not undergo out-of-region annual inspections and must be inspected at the vehicle management office where they were registered. Vehicle Annual Inspection: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and registration certificates. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for vehicles conducted in accordance with the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety." Vehicle annual inspections can promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage enhanced vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents. Annual Inspection for 2014 Vehicles: For family-owned small cars purchased in 2014 with 7 seats or fewer (including 7 seats), if no major accidents have occurred, they are exempt from on-site inspections for 6 years. However, every two years, owners must still visit the vehicle management office to obtain the annual inspection sticker and environmental protection sticker. When the inspection time comes, simply bring the vehicle's registration certificate and the current valid compulsory traffic insurance policy to the vehicle management office to complete the process.

How much can you exceed the speed limit on highway interval speed measurement?

Highway interval speed measurement allows exceeding the speed limit by 10%. No penalty will be imposed for exceeding the speed limit within 10% on highway intervals. Relevant introduction about highway interval speed measurement is as follows: Introduction to highway interval speed measurement: The so-called interval speed measurement refers to the method of detecting the average speed of motor vehicles passing through the road section (speed measurement interval) between two adjacent speed measurement monitoring points. For example, the speed limit range of a certain highway section is 10 kilometers, and the speed limit of this section is 120 kilometers per hour. If the vehicle travels for 5 minutes or more, its average speed will be lower than 120 kilometers per hour, meeting the speed limit requirements. Precautions for driving with interval speed measurement: Check the vehicle condition before driving and plan in advance, fasten the seat belt after getting on the car, drive according to the lane speed limit on the highway, maintain a safe distance between vehicles, drive into the nearest service area to rest when tired, and avoid fatigue driving.
