Features: This book organically integrates the structure and theory of automobiles, primarily focusing on passenger cars, and systematically introduces the overall structure, basic working principles, and the structure and working principles of various assemblies and components of modern automobiles. It highlights modern automotive electronic control technologies (such as EFL, DLI, ABS, AT, ETS, SRS, CCS, SSS, GPS, etc.) as well as new structures, technologies, models, and standards, including variable valve timing and lift electronic control systems (VTEC), next-generation high-pressure common-rail diesel engines, direct-injection gasoline engines, electric vehicles, and gas-powered vehicles. The book is divided into two volumes, comprising three parts and 26 chapters. This is the second volume, covering the second part (Chassis) and the third part (Body), and introduces the structure and working principles of the transmission system, running system, steering system, braking system, body, instruments, and lighting of automobiles. This book can serve as a teaching material for automotive majors in vocational colleges, ordinary universities, and adult education institutions. It is also suitable for use as a reference textbook for automotive engineering programs in workers' universities and technical secondary schools. Additionally, it can be used as a teaching material for automotive application and maintenance training. The book comes with a CD-ROM, with one disc for each volume, providing a wealth of text, color illustrations, animations, and video materials that vividly demonstrate the structure and working principles of various assemblies and components of modern automobiles. These resources can be directly used for multimedia teaching, greatly facilitating teachers' lesson preparation and delivery, as well as students' self-study and review outside of class.
