Audi does not use Torsen for the following reasons: Considering cost and fuel consumption: Audi's four-wheel-drive system using Torsen differential is generally referred to as "true Quattro" because Torsen differentials have been used in all generations of Audi's four-wheel-drive systems. Although the Torsen differential can provide strong four-wheel-drive capability for vehicles, since it is a full-time four-wheel-drive system, using a Torsen differential will significantly increase fuel consumption. Secondly, the manufacturing cost of Torsen differentials is higher than that of multi-plate differentials, so currently, Audi only offers them in high-end models. In summary, it is due to considerations of cost and fuel consumption that Audi has abandoned the Torsen differential. The structure of Torsen: The main structure of the Torsen differential consists of a worm gear and meshing system, which still requires certain technical expertise to produce.

How to Turn on the Car Air Conditioner for Cooling?

Methods to turn on the car air conditioner for cooling: 1. Turn on the air conditioner and press the AC button; 2. Turn on the fan switch, rotate the temperature control knob to the blue side to blow cold air, then adjust the fan speed and set the temperature. When the car has just started, do not turn on the air conditioner fan immediately because the engine coolant temperature has not yet risen. Turning on the air conditioner at this time will blow out the already limited heat inside. If the car has been exposed to the sun for a long time outdoors, the correct approach is to start the engine for preheating first. Wait until the engine temperature gauge needle reaches the middle position, then turn on the heating air conditioner, set the air circulation to external circulation to expel the cold air inside the car. After 2 to 3 minutes, set the air circulation to internal circulation.

What is the tire pressure value for a sedan?

The tire pressure value for a sedan is between 2.3 and 2.6 bar. In winter, it can be increased by 0.2 bar, while in summer, it should be reduced by 0.1 bar to prevent tire blowouts. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: 1. Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; 2. Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; 3. Accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; 4. Increases body vibration, reducing the lifespan of other components; 5. Causes deformation of tire cords, reducing the elasticity of the tire body; 6. Decreases resistance to punctures.

What is the method for resetting tire pressure on Roewe vehicles?

To reset the tire pressure on a Roewe vehicle, you need to operate through the car's multimedia interface. The specific steps are as follows: 1. Press the one-touch start button of the Roewe vehicle; 2. When the dashboard lights up, confirm that the vehicle's power is fully connected; 3. Click on the system information in the multimedia operation interface; 4. Enter the advanced driving assistance in the multimedia system; 5. In the driving maintenance options, click "Start" for tire pressure reset to complete the process. The tire pressure monitoring device is a relatively simple tire pressure monitoring system that utilizes the existing sensing function of ABS to compare the rotation counts of the tires. A tire with insufficient pressure will have a shorter circumference, so if one of the four tires has insufficient pressure, its rotation count will differ from the others while driving. Roewe (ROEWE) is an automobile brand under Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC). The technology for the brand's vehicles originates from Rover, which SAIC previously acquired, but SAIC did not acquire the "Rover" brand.
