How many car configurations are really useful?
With the development of the automobile industry today, the automobile configuration began to diversify, and various "involution" appeared. But are so many configurations really useful? Let's start with the really useful configuration:
1, uphill auxiliary system
This is a traction control system. The English abbreviation is ESP, especially when driving at high speed, its importance can be more reflected. However, the cost of ESP is high, and low-end cars tend to cut prices. So what role can it play? Simply put, whether you oversteer or understeer, it can play a corrective role, that is, it can not only control the driving wheel, but also control the driven wheel, which can effectively control the risk of losing control of the vehicle. Due to the patents of various manufacturers, the uphill auxiliary system is not all represented by ESP, but its functions are the same.
2. Blind zone monitoring system
This system is designed to adapt to the crowded urban traffic, and now it is mostly used for mid-to high-end vehicles. At the same time, it is equipped with reversing traffic monitoring function, which makes people feel more at ease in the congested traffic environment. Blind spot monitoring system When a vehicle enters the blind spot of your rearview mirror, the system will remind you through a warning light. Combined with the rearview mirror, the system allows you to quickly evaluate the possibility of changing lines. When the vehicle is equipped with the system, it can prevent pedestrians or vehicles in the blind area of the vehicle from being hit when changing lanes.
3. Constant speed cruise system
Constant speed cruise is used to drive a car at a constant speed. When the car is set to cruise, the engine will be controlled by the computer, and the computer will adjust it according to the road conditions and the resistance of the car, so that the car will always keep running at the set speed. You can not only reduce driving fatigue, but also save fuel without manipulating the throttle. But in principle, the cruise control system can only be used in high-speed or fully enclosed sections.
4, automatic headlights
The headlights with photosensitive control system are automatic headlights, and the central intelligent control box judges the brightness change of light through the light sensor and adjusts the opening or closing of the headlights. Especially when it is just dark, it is easy for drivers to forget to turn on the headlights and wait until the sight is very bad to remember to turn on the lights, which is a safety hazard when driving.
5. Multifunctional steering wheel
As the name implies, the multi-function steering wheel is equipped with some function keys on both sides or under the steering wheel, which is more convenient to operate when driving, including: audio control, air conditioning adjustment, car phone can be operated on the steering wheel, so that everyone can pay more attention to the front when driving and improve driving safety.
6. Tire pressure monitoring
Tire pressure monitoring can automatically monitor tire pressure during driving, and give an alarm when there is air leakage or low air pressure, which also ensures everyone's driving safety. This function is an important safety configuration, because we all know that the proportion of accidents caused by puncture in traffic accidents is still relatively high, and most of them are vicious traffic accidents.
After talking about useful configurations, let's talk about less useful configurations:
1, automatic parking system
The premise that the automatic parking system can be used is that you find a relatively ideal parking space, and the start button can help you complete it automatically. The development of this function is naturally aware of the needs of consumers, but if you rely on the automatic parking system for a long time, you may not be able to stop in an emergency, and this system is even more meaningless to old drivers. It is better to park the car directly than to operate together.
2. Engine remote starting system
Remote engine start is to start the engine remotely by remote control key. This function is mainly to control and improve the temperature of the cab without entering the car, which is obvious in cold areas, but most parts of China are not extremely cold, so this function is of little use.
3. Automatic engine start-stop system
The automatic start-stop function of the engine has developed rapidly in recent years, which can be regarded as an automobile environmental protection technology, but it is really tasteless, especially on the way to and from work. The automatic start-stop function can undoubtedly "drive people crazy".
4. Headlight cleaning device
This is suitable for driving on muddy roads. When mud floods the lights, you can use the headlight cleaning device to clean them, but for car owners driving on urban roads, there are not many opportunities to use this function.
The above introduction can provide reference for consumers who are about to buy a car, and what suits them is the best.
