A higher chassis provides better safety on rural roads when going to the countryside or farm stays, reducing the risk of bumps and scrapes. The chassis refers to the combination of the four major systems in a car: the powertrain, running gear, steering system, and braking system. It supports and mounts the car's engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the vehicle, bearing the engine's power, and ensuring normal operation. The chassis consists of four major systems: the powertrain, steering system, braking system, and running gear. Below is an introduction to these four major systems of the car chassis: 1. Powertrain: The function of the powertrain is to transmit the engine's power to the driving wheels. Different cars have slightly different chassis compositions. For example, for trucks and some sedans, the chassis generally consists of a clutch, manual transmission, universal joint drive, and drive axle. Nowadays, more and more sedans use automatic transmissions, and their chassis includes an automatic transmission, universal joint drive, and drive axle, replacing the clutch and manual transmission with an automatic transmission. For off-road vehicles (including SUVs, or sport utility vehicles), a transfer case is also included. 2. Running gear: The function of the running gear is to support and mount the car's various components and assemblies, transmitting and bearing various loads from inside and outside the vehicle to ensure normal operation. It mainly consists of the frame (body), axle, suspension, and wheels. 3. Steering system: The function of the steering system is to ensure the car can travel in the direction selected by the driver. It mainly consists of the steering control mechanism, steering gear, and steering linkage. Modern cars commonly use power steering systems. 4. Braking system: The function of the braking system is to slow down, stop, and reliably park the car. The car braking system generally includes two independent braking systems: the service brake system and the parking brake system. Each braking system includes brakes and braking transmission mechanisms. Modern cars' service brake systems are generally equipped with an anti-lock braking system (ABS).

Can vehicle inspection be done in a different location?

Currently, the traffic management authorities have fully implemented cross-provincial vehicle inspection for small cars, trucks, and medium-sized buses. Applicants can directly conduct inspections in provinces other than the vehicle's registration location and apply for the inspection qualification mark without needing to go through the entrusted inspection procedure. Large passenger buses and school buses cannot be inspected in a different location and must return to the vehicle's registration location for inspection. Vehicle inspection process: Check whether the engine, chassis, body, and their auxiliary equipment are clean, complete, and functional; whether the paint surface is uniform and aesthetically pleasing; whether the main assemblies have been replaced and match the initial inspection records; whether the vehicle's braking performance, steering control, lights, exhaust, and other safety features comply with the "Technical Conditions for Safe Operation of Motor Vehicles" requirements. Check whether the vehicle has been modified, remodeled, or altered; whether the driving license, license plate, and all registered vehicle records match the actual condition of the vehicle, whether there are any changes, and whether the approval and modification procedures have been completed. Check whether the license plate, driving license, and the enlarged license plate characters printed on the vehicle are damaged, altered, or illegible, and whether they need to be replaced. For large vehicles, check whether the unit name or the name of the street, township, or town where the vehicle is located and the maximum seating capacity in the cab are printed in Chinese imitation Song font on both sides of the door as required. For trucks, check whether the rear fender (including the trailer's rear fender) exterior is printed with the vehicle number enlarged 2-3 times as required; for individual or joint-operation vehicles, check whether the word "individual" is printed on both sides of the door. The characters must be clear, and unit codes or other patterns are not allowed (special circumstances require approval from the vehicle management office).

What is the fuel consumption of the Ford Territory?

The Ford Territory currently has 7 models on sale, including the 2021 Territory S EcoBoost 145 CVT Smart Edition, the 2021 Territory S EcoBoost 145 CVT Smart Light Hybrid Edition, and the 2020 Territory S EcoBoost 145 Manual Basic Edition, among others. Models equipped with a 140-horsepower engine have an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.7L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity varies among different models of the Ford Territory. The distance that can be covered on a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models equipped with a 140-horsepower engine have a fuel tank capacity of 52L, allowing them to travel 52/6.7*100=776KM on a full tank. Vehicle fuel consumption is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as rapid acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before reaching a traffic light can increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements typically produce more power, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles also tend to have higher fuel consumption due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on unpaved roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous terrain increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily during cold starts, requiring more gasoline for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, in cold temperatures, the engine's computer may control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, further increasing fuel consumption.

How long should you wait to roll down windows after car window tinting?

After car window tinting, wait 3 days before rolling down windows, and ideally 7 days in winter. After the tint is applied, try to avoid frequently rolling windows up and down within 3 days, and ensure you don't easily open the sunroof when driving on highways during this period. This is because the newly applied film hasn't fully adhered yet - prolonged exposure to water can reduce the film's adhesive strength, potentially causing it to peel off. When parking, choose sunny locations to ensure complete evaporation of moisture trapped under the tint. Additional notes: Post-tinting precautions: After car window tinting, wait 3 days before rolling down windows (7 days recommended in winter). Avoid frequent window operation for 3 days and refrain from opening the sunroof during highway driving in this period. The fresh film needs time to properly bond - extended water exposure weakens adhesion and may cause peeling. Always park in sunny spots to facilitate complete moisture evaporation from beneath the tint.
