1. How the Cruise Control System Works decisions” The Cruise Module makes “decisions” based upon speed, tachometer, and brake signal information. The control circuit interprets digital speed car’ information from the car’s engine control module (VSS) and ignition coil output. Brake information comes from the red and purple wires connected to vehicle’ nothe vehicle’s brake switch. Disengagement and noengagement decisions are based on the monitored information. rev.” An integral part of the cruise is the “over rev.” protection circuit. Its function is to monitor engine RPM and disengage the cruise control when the clutch is applied or the transmission shift lever is moved in to neutral. When a sudden rise in RPM is detected, the decision to disengage is rev.’ made for ‘over rev.’ protection, the blue wire must be attached to the negative side of the series” ignition coil. A noise suppressor “in series” with the blue wire keeps excessive electrical noise fooling” from “fooling” the cruise into disengaging.

The power train has two maan functions :it conveys powerfrom the engine to the wheels , and it changes the amount of torque2. The power train consists of an engine , a transmission ,a clutch , a drive shaft and differential3. The feature of a manual transmission is to deliver enginepower to the front wheels and rear wheels4. manual transmissions usually have five speeds , which means that the output shaft can rotate faster than the input5. There are several basic components in the clutch , suchas the flywheel , clutch disk , pressure plate , release bearing and linkage.6 Automatic transmissions are used not only in many rear-wheel-dnve and four-whe el-dnve ve- lcles, but In most front-wheel-dnve ones1.T2.

Compacts
These models are a little larger than subcompacts. They give additional room in the front and rear seats as well as added crash-protection for passengers. Original cost is somewhat higher than that for the subcompacts. Fuel economy is comparable and maintenance access is easier. Their somewhat roomier nature and better ride often make compacts the choice of the economy-minded driver. Compacts are around 4200 mm long in case of hatchbacks and 4600 mm in the case of 4-door cars. Compacts have room for five adults and usually have 4-cylinder engine. These are the most popular vehicles in our country.
Unit 05 Car Suspension 汽车专业英语教学课件
Unit 5 Car Suspension
Dampers: Struts and Anti-sway Bars
Another common dampening structure is the strut— basically a shock absorber mounted inside a coil spring. Struts perform two jobs: they provide a dampening function like shock absorbers, and they provide structural support for the vehicle suspension.
Unit 5 Car Suspension
The other end is attached to a wishbone, which acts like a lever that moves perpendicular to the torsion bar. When the wheel hits a bump, vertical motion is transferred to the wishbone and then, through the levering action, to the torsion bar. The torsion bar then twists along its axis to provide the spring force.
Unit 5 Car Suspension
Springs: Sprung and Unsprung Mass
The sprung mass is the mass of the vehicle supported on the springs, while the unsprung mass is loosely defined as the mass between the road and the suspension springs[2]. The stiffness of the springs affects how the sprung mass responds while the car is being driven.

Intermediates
Also called mid-sized cars, intermediates provide what many consider to be the best trade-off between economy and comfort. Parking maneuverability and fuel economy are superior to the full-size models, while maintenance access, roominess and long-trip comfort are better than those of the compacts and subcompacts. Intermediates have room for five adults and a large trunk (boot). Engines are more powerful than compact cars and 6-cylinder engines are more common than in smaller cars. Car sizes vary from region to region; in Europe, large family cars are rarely over 4700 mm long, while in North America they may be well over 4800 mm.

Unit 5TEXT IThe Light at the End of the ChunnelTextIn a hotel lobby in Sandgate, England, not two miles from the soon-to-be-opened English Channel Tunnel, stiff upper lips trembled. For the first time since the last ice age, England was about to be linked to France."I'd rather England become the 51st state of the U. S. A. than get tied up to there," said a retired civil servant with a complexion the color of ruby port. He nodded toward the steel gray Channel out the window, his pale blue eyes filled with foreboding."A wful place," added his wife, lifting a teacup to her lips. "They drink all the time, and the food is terrible. When I go to the Continent, I take my own bottle of English sauce.""We don't care much for the French," her husband concluded. "But the French. ..." Here a pause, a shudder, as the gull-wing eyebrows shot upward. "The French don't care for anybody."On the other side of the Channel, the entente was scarcely more cordiale. In Vieux Coquelles, a village a beet field away from the French terminal near Calais, Clotaire Fournier walked into his farmhouse."I went to England once," he said, sinking into a chair in the dining room. "Never again! All they eat is ketchup. " A tiny explosion of air from pursed lips, then the coup de grac e. "Y ou can't even get a decent glass of red wine!"Well, by grace of one of the engineering feats of the century, for richer or poorer, better or worse, England and France are getting hitched. On May 6, 1994, Queen Elizabeth of Britain and President Francois Mitterrand of France are scheduled to inaugurate the English Channel Tunnel ("Chunnel" for short), sweeping aside 200 years of failed cross-Channel-link schemes, 1,000 years of historical rift, and 8,000 years of geographic divide.The 31-mile-long Chunnel is really three parallel tunnels: two for trains and a service tunnel. It snakes from Folkestone, England, to Coquelles, France, an average of 150 feet below the seabed. Drive onto a train at one end; stay in your car and drive off Le Shuttle at the other 35 minutes later. Later this year [i. e. , 1994] Eurostar passenger trains will provide through service: London to Paris in three hours; London to Brussels in three hours, ten minutes.The Chunnel rewrites geography, at least in the English psyche. The moat has been breached. Britain no longer is an island.It's June 28, 1991, and I'm packed into a construction workers' train along with several dozen other journalists. We're headed out from the English side to the breakthrough ceremony for the south running tunnel — the last to be completed.The Chunnel is a work in progress. The concrete walls await final installation of the power, water, and communication lines that will turn it into a transport system. White dust fills the air. The train screeches painfully. "Makes you appreciate British Rail," someone jokes.Finally we reach the breakthrough site. The two machines that dug this tunnel started from opposite sides of the Channel and worked toward the middle. Now we're staring at the30-foot-diameter face of the French tunnel boring machine (TBM), "Catherine."In one of those vive la difference quirks that color the project, the French gave women's names to their machines. On the British side, it's by the numbers — like TBM No. 6. Another difference: French workers wear chic, well-cut, taupe jumpsuits with red and blue racing stripes down the sleeves. The British uniform is pure grunge: baggy, bright orange.Looking up, I imagine 180 feet of Channel above my head —ferries, tankers, a Dover sole or two. ...The grating of the TBM interrupts my reverie. Its cutterhead — a huge wheel with tungsten-tipped teeth — chews into the last trace of rock separating England from France.Music blares, and lights glare. Several Frenchmen scramble through. Thunderous applause erupts as dozens more follow. Strangely moving, this connecting of countries. Champagne corks pop, and French workers hug British counterparts."I might have opposed it 30 years ago, but now it's my tunnel," an Englishman says.French tunnelers are still climbing through. "So many," I say, turning to a French official."And there are 56 million more behind them," he replies.Apres le tunnel, le deluge? Eurotunnel hopes so. It predicts eight million passengers a year by 1996. The flow will be lopsided. Only 30 percent of the traffic will be headed to Britain. "The French don't take holidays in England," explains Jeanne Labrousse, a Eurotunnel executive. Hmmmm. Why do the French visit Britain? For the food? The weather? Fashion?Mme. Labrousse seemed thoughtful."Of course," she brightened, "we will work on selling the idea."From National Geographic, May 1994, by Cathy Newman.。
