Automobile is not only an indispensable means of transportation in the modern life of most people, but also the most sophisticated industrial product. In the cognition of our ordinary consumers, there are also many stereotypes about cars “in rumors”. Today, let’s talk about the common misunderstandings about cars and let’s see if anyone gets caught!
1、 SUVs are stronger than cars??
We always think that a high chassis will give people more sense of security, so many people think that SUV is definitely safer than car. From the appearance, it seems that SUV is more “solid”. In fact, there is not much connection between the two.
Although the “height” of the SUV can provide a better field of vision for the driver to judge the surrounding conditions, its hard injury lies in the high center of gravity and soft suspension adjustment, which also determines that the dynamic stability of the SUV is not as good as that of the car. However, generally speaking, from the driving level, cars and SUVs have their own advantages and disadvantages, and having good driving habits is the king.
2、 The heavier the car, the thicker the sheet metal and safer?
We all know a very simple common sense of Physics: P (kinetic energy) = m (mass) times V (velocity). When the velocity is the same, the greater the mass, the greater the kinetic energy. The heavier the car needs to resist higher inertia when braking, and the suspension will bear more pressure when turning.
In fact, the effect of the thickness of the car on protecting the safety of passengers is not as high as we think. In case of collision, it is the body structural parts that have a direct impact: the strength of body steel frame is the decisive factor to ensure safety after collision. Generally speaking, whether a car carries “beating” depends on whether its “bone” is hard, not the thickness of the skin on the surface.
3、 Is manual more fuel-efficient than automatic?
In the early days of the immaturity of automatic transmission, this statement is reasonable. After all, the transmission efficiency of automatic transmission is higher. But now the development of automotive technology has reached a new level, which is quite lax. The saying that manual gear is more fuel-efficient than automatic gear is mostly based on the premise that the driver can master the shift timing, Match the gear with the vehicle speed and driving demand, so as to select the most economical engine speed on the premise of meeting the driving demand. For novices, improper operations such as low gear and high speed will make manual gear more fuel consuming.
4、 Engine carbon deposition super terror?
The main reason for carbon deposition is the insufficient combustion of fuel in the engine. Gasoline contains unsaturated olefins and colloidal components. Carbon deposition will occur more or less during driving or after flameout. Many car owners will be promoted fuel treasure or carbon cleaning services when maintaining their cars in the store. After all, the fault of “engine scrapping” sounds really terrible. But what about the actual situation?
The formation of carbon deposition is not two days a day. It is related to the vehicle’s use environment, oil and fuel quality, driving habits, etc. Unless it is very serious, mild carbon deposition will not affect the operation of the engine. In short, carbon deposition is inevitable, but it is also a very normal phenomenon. How to reduce and avoid excessive carbon deposition as much as possible?
1. Try to avoid idle driving, long-time hot driving and other bad driving habits;
2. Regularly fill high-quality fuel at regular gas stations and stay away from inferior fuel;
3. Maintain the vehicle according to the specified mileage and replace the high-quality air filter regularly, which can filter out a large amount of impurities in the air for the engine.
When it comes to high-quality air filters, we have to recommend our Hebei Congben high-quality air filters! Our filter can efficiently filter out dust and sand in the air and ensure sufficient and clean air in the cylinder, so as to ensure stable engine performance and reject insufficient power.
Filter warm reminder of Congben：
Air filter – the service and replacement shall be based on the specified working hours or mileage in the maintenance manual. However, it is necessary to consider the environmental factors comprehensively, and it is usually recommended to replace every 15000 km; Vehicles frequently used in harsh environments should be replaced no more than every 10000 km.
