If the 'Please Service ESC' message appears, you should not continue driving and instead take the vehicle to a 4S shop or repair facility to have the ESC system checked, as continuing to drive may pose a safety risk. ESC stands for Electronic Stability Control, and its components include: 1. Steering sensor; 2. Wheel speed sensor; 3. Yaw rate sensor; 4. Lateral acceleration sensor. The working principle of the Electronic Stability Control system is to monitor the vehicle's operating status through an electronic control unit and intervene in the engine and braking system. ESC is an active safety technology that assists drivers in controlling the vehicle, and it is an extension of the functions of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Traction Control System (TCS). The role of ESC is to control the vehicle's longitudinal and lateral stability to ensure stable driving.

Is ABS Material a Type of Plastic?

ABS consists of A (Acrylonitrile), B (Butadiene), and S (Styrene), making it an opaque plastic. Additional information is as follows: 1. Overview: ABS plastic combines the properties of its three components: A provides chemical resistance, heat resistance, and a certain surface hardness; B imparts high elasticity and toughness; and S grants thermoplastic processing characteristics and improves electrical properties. As a result, ABS plastic is an "impact-resistant, rigid, and sturdy" material that is readily available, cost-effective, versatile, and offers excellent overall performance. It is widely used in industries such as machinery, electrical, textiles, automotive, aircraft, shipbuilding, and chemical engineering. 2. Properties: ABS resin integrates the superior qualities of its three monomers: the gloss, electrical properties, and moldability of styrene; the heat resistance, rigidity, and oil resistance of acrylonitrile; and the impact resistance of butadiene.

What is the use of the emergency lane on highways?

Highway emergency lanes are only for emergency vehicles, including police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles when performing emergency tasks. Other vehicles are prohibited from stopping or driving on the emergency lane under non-emergency conditions. Two lanes: The so-called two-speed lanes on highways refer to two lanes in the same direction. The speed range for the right lane is 60 to 100 kilometers per hour, while the left lane's speed range is 100 to 120 kilometers per hour. Three lanes: Three-speed lanes refer to three lanes in the same direction. The speed range for the far-right lane is 60 to 90 kilometers per hour, the middle lane is 90 to 110 kilometers per hour, and the far-left lane is 110 to 120 kilometers per hour. The left lane is the overtaking lane, hence the higher speed limit.

What Causes Coolant to Boil?

Coolant boiling occurs due to blockages in the coolant circulation lines, insufficient coolant levels, or abnormal radiator function. Graphic: A thermometer is shown between wavy lines. Coolant is commonly known as antifreeze, with its full name being antifreeze coolant. Types of Automotive Coolant: Alcohol-based coolant, glycerol-based coolant, ethylene glycol-based coolant, propylene glycol-based coolant. Engine Issues: Prevents freezing in low-temperature environments, which could cause the radiator or engine block to crack. Cooling System: Prevents corrosion within the cooling system. Scale Formation: Reduces scale buildup during circulation. Heat: Absorbs heat, enabling the radiator to withstand high temperatures without boiling.

How many types of fully synthetic engine oil are there?

Fully synthetic engine oil is divided into two types: fully synthetic oil and semi-synthetic oil. Fully synthetic oil is the highest grade. Increased fuel consumption: When adding engine oil, the oil level should be between the upper and lower limits on the dipstick. If too much oil is added, the engine temperature will rise, causing the oil to expand in volume. This increases the pressure in the oil chamber, raises operating resistance, reduces vehicle power, and leads to increased fuel consumption. Overfilling engine oil: If too much oil is added, the crankcase vent pipe may leak oil. The increased pressure in the crankcase can loosen the oil seals due to oil pressure, resulting in oil leaks. Heat dissipation: Overfilling engine oil can affect the engine's heat dissipation.
