Lifting the wiper blades when parking in snowy weather is to prevent them from freezing to the windshield. Here are the specific reasons for lifting wiper blades when parking in snowy conditions: 1. After snowfall: Wiper blades can easily freeze to the car's windshield. When removing snow, the wiper blades are beneath the snow, and careless cleaning may damage them. Therefore, lifting the wiper blades beforehand in snowy weather reduces the difficulty of snow removal. 2. While driving in snowy weather: Do not use the wiper blades. This can put immense pressure on the rubber strips of the wiper blades, and over time, it may easily cause the wiper blades to malfunction.

What is the slogan for maintaining a safe distance between vehicles?

Don't kiss me, I'm very scared. Here is the relevant introduction about safe distance: 1. Safe distance: When driving on the highway, if the vehicle speed is above 100km/h, the safe distance should be more than 100 meters. When the vehicle speed is above 60km/h, the safe distance should be equal to the speed; at 80km/h, the safe distance is 80 meters; when the vehicle speed is 50km/h, the safe distance should not be less than 50 meters. 2. Influencing factors: The size of the vehicle's fixed distance directly affects the safety and stability of the vehicle on the track. If it is too large, it will increase the vehicle's internal offset, reduce the effective width of the vehicle body, and increase the vehicle's deflection, which correspondingly requires an increase in the vehicle's design strength.

How is the off-road capability of the Teramont?

The steering wheel is easy to handle, lighter than a typical sedan, with precise and accurate steering. The throttle response is sensitive, and starting is effortless. Overall, the off-road capability is quite good. Here is some related content: 1. Off-road vehicles: An off-road vehicle is a type of vehicle specifically designed for off-road use, mainly referring to vehicles that can operate on rough terrain. Features include a body-on-frame construction, four-wheel drive, a higher ground clearance, tires with good traction, a higher exhaust pipe, greater horsepower, and sturdy bumpers. Off-road vehicles can adapt to various road conditions in the wild. 2. Teramont: It is a new mid-to-large SUV under SAIC Volkswagen, officially named the Teramont. At the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show, SAIC Volkswagen launched its first coupe SUV—the Teramont X.

Which Goes First: Left-Turning or Right-Turning Vehicles?

Right-turning vehicles must yield to left-turning vehicles when traveling in opposite directions, meaning that at an intersection where vehicles from opposite directions are turning toward the same exit, right-turning vehicles should let left-turning vehicles proceed first. The priority rules for vehicles turning at intersections can be found in the relevant legal provisions of the Road Traffic Safety Law. For example, at intersections controlled by traffic signs and markings, vehicles with the right of way should proceed first. At intersections without traffic signs or markings, drivers must stop and check traffic conditions before entering. Information about traffic lights is as follows: 1. Introduction: Traffic lights are signals that direct traffic flow, typically consisting of red, green, and yellow lights. A red light means stop, a green light means go, and a yellow light serves as a warning. 2. Control Methods: The most basic control method is fixed-time control at a single intersection. Line control and area control can also use fixed-time methods, known as static line control systems and static area control systems.

How many seconds does the Model 3 take to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h?

According to official data, the Tesla Model 3 is available in rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions. The rear-wheel drive version accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds, while the all-wheel drive version achieves this in just 3.4 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, represents how much force is available. The greater the torque, the more force is available to propel the vehicle, naturally resulting in faster acceleration. The Tesla Model 3 rear-wheel drive version accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds with a torque of 404 Nm, while the all-wheel drive version has a torque of 639 Nm. Transmission efficiency: The transmission serves as the medium for power delivery and inevitably involves power loss. The higher the transmission efficiency, the better the acceleration performance. Generally, transmission efficiency ranks as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > automatic transmission > CVT transmission. The Tesla Model 3 is equipped with a single-speed fixed gear ratio transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (measured in Hp/T). The higher the power-to-weight ratio, the faster the acceleration. The Tesla Model 3 rear-wheel drive version accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds with a power-to-weight ratio of 171 Hp/T, while the all-wheel drive version achieves this in 3.4 seconds with a power-to-weight ratio of 271 Hp/T.

What is the tire pressure for a sedan?

According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the requirements are divided into the following five points: 1. Standard tires: 2.4-2.5 bar. 2. Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9 bar. 3. Maximum pressure: Should not exceed 3.5 bar. 4. Driving on rough roads: Appropriately reduce the tire pressure by 0.1-0.2 bar based on the standard tire pressure. 5. It is also related to factors such as season, road conditions, and tire wear: In summer, try to maintain the lower limit of the standard tire pressure, while in winter, it is advisable to slightly increase the standard tire pressure by 0.2 bar.
