say the same phenomenon in recent years, automotive design more and more serious, but if you really had enough to open the car, in fact, will be able to find some manufacturers still insist on some unique designs. Some of them are thinking surprised, but there are many called brain damage, today we talk about the wonderful work on the design of the car.
pregnant with the current application is not small block car, Mercedes and Tesla is one of the main force, but in accordance with the overall proportion of view , compared to conventional gear shift pregnant structure is still relatively rare. Benefits in that it allows pregnant gear in front of the vehicle control aisle becomes clean, no clutter Dangba region. So like Mercedes, Tesla pursue such a unique interior style of the brand is very like to use.
However, this rare design will cause no arms opened if the driver stop the car before, that after the car probably will not even stop to hang, not to mention the car …… go
Since the pregnant Benz uses block design, so the right side of the steering wheel is not allocated wipers rod, is to avoid two lever in a small area, reduce the misuse of the phenomenon. Thus, pregnant stopper Benz models wiper is positioned to the left of the steering wheel, the steering lever with the blend. Left damper lever is inwardly by water, the rotation of the wiper is on. Therefore, those who are not familiar with this logic if you open the driver wipers with his right hand on a rainy day habit, only to switch the gear, it is very embarrassing.
Furthermore, since the wiper lever on the left side of the steering wheel, so Mercedes only region left headlight control lever moved to the left in the control position of the stage, into a separate set of buttons and knobs. But it is in this design is common in Ashkenazi car, such as Volkswagen, BMW and other non-pregnant gear models will also use this design.
For example, if you first Mercedes in the rain, then the order after you get on the train will be: Can not find the wiper lever will not open → → will not open fog.
can not find at least Benz DangbaAlso the normal ignition, but if you are the first Porsche, you probably could not beat even have a car. Because Porsche conventional ignition switch is not in the right side area of the steering wheel, or an area in front of the center armrest, but the design of the primary near the center console next to the driver’s door.
The reason why Porsche ignition key arranged on the left is actually the reason is historical heritage. Porsche at the time of the year at Le Mans, race rules require racers after the first run to start the car, and then restart departure. In order to reduce the time of which, Porsche innovatively designed ignition key in the left side, so you can let the driver to start the vehicle with his left hand while on the train, reducing waste of time. Thereafter, all Porsche production car also continues the classic design of the outside of the ignition switch, to date, even the most entry-model Macan, also turn the ignition key on the left side, it would be for Porsche at Le Mans 19 times to win the game to pay tribute to it.
opened old Fox knows that the car’s design is its most wonderful hood switch. General models of foot switches are in the position of the driver, there is a separate handle, a pull at the two hood can be opened outside the vehicle.
may be old Fox hood lock is actually in the car! Open the way for the first rotation logo, and then use the mechanical key to open the vehicle hood lock, which you risk it? So covert wonderful design, estimated time and even the owners for the first time with the question mark is sweating it ……
the most common way is nothing more than a parking brake is electronic parking brake, the traditional mechanical handbrake lever and some Japanese cars of the foot brake. And consistent in design ingenuity of Mercedes-Benz in the parking brake came up with strange ideas, E-class W212 generation was undoubtedly the most representative.
In the generation stage E, which parking brake is controlled by two switches, and if necessary lock, it is to step through the parking pedal ( FIG blue upper frame) to achieve. And if you want to unlock the brake, thenAnother need to press a separate button (above the yellow box) to release the parking brake cable …… To be honest, as an opened hundreds of models of cars editor, when I first opened W212 , also was confused by its hands and feet of the brakes.
Typically, the driver side door of the vehicle will have a window control button, the driver control of the vehicle to facilitate further the window opened and closed positions. While such off-road vehicles such as Land Rover, the driver sitting due to the higher will the position of the window control buttons in the driver’s door sill design, the more convenient operation.
However, there are some manufacturers come up with solutions Luqi Te brain, for example, part of French cars put window control button design center console area Dangba . If the ease of operation, the control keys on the windows in the control in fact no problem, after all, we usually is in gear with his right hand, but will very smoothly. Meanwhile, since the front passenger window control buttons are also provided in the control area, so this design also reduces the assembly on a window button set copilot door, also to some extent to reduce costs. However, this rare design will lead to a lot of people for the first time on the bus could not find the key switch to adjust the window, a little embarrassed ~
In addition, like the Jeep Wrangler also the windows of the center console button design, do Wrangler mainly because it is detachable door, so to minimize the electronics within door.
a car in the Department of Law, we can always see all kinds of weird design, and this one, the most Citroen representative must undoubtedly common after the center of the steering wheel is fixed. Traditional integrally rotatable with the steering wheel is different Citroen steering wheel of two-layer structure, have a central region of the airbag fixed design, and which integrates the various multifunction key, no matter how you turn, with the central region is not the steering angle and change.
and the holding ring is additionally a separate structure, as with other normal rotation of the steering wheel. This design wouldCause, because the central car standard, the key area is always fixed, so it is hard to judge the angle of the steering wheel at the time, often there will be a positive cycle that car, short of a full circle of the actual situation. If this is your first time to open the steering wheel of French cars, you will doubt your driving skills.
Fortunately, the French do not understand the alternative is not dull, because of this wonderful design bad repercussions in the market, so in the last few years of French cars in the central fixed steering wheel has gradually disappeared.
refers to “Na Zhi Jie” in the name, it is definitely a second-hand car dealer’s nightmare, two oil strategic partners. But I am afraid many people do not know, satisfied Zhi Jie there is a very wonderful design, is its spare tire.
In general, a spare tire is placed in the trunk of the vehicle under the floor or hanging position in the rear chassis portion will SUV a “small bag” type plug spare tire. The Na Zhi Jie spare tire, while also hanging on the chassis, but its location was placed back under the floor near the middle of the vehicle. This also led to a lot of people when you need to change a spare tire, I could not find the spare tire. No wonder there are many Na Zhi Jie owners will self-ridicule, I am afraid that after only know that their car overturned spare tire ……
say strange design, in fact, public Maite Wei also that its fuel tank cap. Typically, the vehicle’s fuel tank lid is in the position of the rear fender, including Odyssey, GL8 MPV are also designed in such a rear fender of the left, even if you are first started, will be very easy it found the location of the fuel tank cap.
But if you are a first time open to the public Maite Wei refueling, then it is likely to encounter embarrassing thing, because after its fender around at empty, there is no fuel tank cap. Maite Wei fuel tank cap and not in the vehicle switches must be pressed to turn off manually. This means that if you are not the owner, it is likely even at the gas station fuel tank cap is not open!
In fact, the fuel tank cap Maite Wei placed below the position of the main drive of the door is a very subtle, the normal diet, get off the driver, the fuel tank cover just his back to the driver’s position, not the owner simply can not be found! Maite Wei reason for this design, mainly in order to enhance third-row space and so the fuel tank is arranged in the bottom of the front of the driver.
on the strange design, French cars do not just simple steering wheel buttons and windows, their keys in the car horn design ideas more strange. Typically, on the steering wheel are horn buttons, even if some of the old key design horn handlebar grip on the steering wheel ring, but at least there is no departing from the scope of the steering wheel.
but in the old Citroen Elysee and some French cars, they put the horn button design on the steering lever, horn when you want, you need to use the left hand pressing the top of the steering lever in the middle finger of fate, this unique design so many people for the first time to open this type of car can not start, pour a certain extent, to avoid the nuisance of it.
In addition, because of PSA in China with Dongfeng joint venture to produce, so some of Dongfeng’s vehicles also affected the French, such as Dongfeng Fengshen S30, its horn key Elysee just the same design on the steering lever, quite wonderful.
have to say, wonderful design on the car quite a lot of these design or because of the historical heritage, or because of cost considerations, but also some for aesthetic compromise convenience. In any case, these strange designs will allow people to drive for the first time can not start, and even embarrassing.
Do you know what wonderful work on car design?
