You can engage the electronic parking brake after the engine is turned off. The electronic parking brake is a technology that uses an electronic system to control the vehicle's parking brake, achieving the same effect as a mechanical handbrake but with a different control method. Its advantages include saving the space occupied by a mechanical handbrake, creating more room in the center console, and offering simple operation with less effort. The working principle of the electronic parking brake is the same as that of the mechanical handbrake, both relying on the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads to control the parking brake. The only difference is that the control method has changed from a mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. The electronic parking brake, also known as the electronic parking brake system, integrates the temporary braking during driving with the long-term parking braking function, and achieves parking braking through electronic control technology.

How to Remove a Static Cling Sticker?

There are two methods to remove a static cling sticker: 1. First locate a lifted corner, spray water into the gap between the sticker and glass, then peel it off slowly; 2. Alternatively, use a household hair dryer to apply heat by moving it back and forth around the sticker's edges, after heating for a while, the sticker can be removed. Automotive static cling stickers are new-generation products that replace traditional adhesive decals. These stickers utilize static electricity to adhere to smooth surfaces like car bodies and windshields without any glue. They can be easily applied and removed without leaving residue. Since static cling stickers are glue-free, they require smooth surfaces for proper adhesion.

What is the normal RPM range for the Tharu?

The Tharu's normal RPM range is between 2000 and 3000. Generally, a car's engine can only demonstrate its advantages when the RPM exceeds 2000. The RPM range between 2000 and 4000 is considered the healthy operating zone, where the engine can better utilize its performance benefits. The engine's RPM directly relates to the number of work cycles per unit time or the effective power output of the engine. Powertrain specifications: The Tharu is equipped with 1.4T and 2.0T turbocharged engines, delivering maximum power outputs of 110kW and 137kW respectively, with peak torque of 175Nm, 250Nm, and 320Nm. Its dimensions are 4453mm in length, 1841mm in width, and 1632mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm.

What Does It Mean When Antifreeze Boils Over?

Antifreeze boiling over refers to a situation where, during vehicle operation, the engine's high temperature causes the antifreeze temperature to rise to the boiling point, resulting in overflow. When the boiling antifreeze comes into contact with hot metal parts, white smoke is produced. The causes include: 1. The radiator stops functioning, leading to excessively high water temperature; 2. Antifreeze circulation failure due to a thermostat not opening, water pump malfunction, or blockage in the water circulation system; 3. Insufficient antifreeze or poor-quality antifreeze with a low boiling point, making it prone to boiling over. Automotive antifreeze, also known as coolant with antifreeze properties, is designed to allow the vehicle to operate in winter's low temperatures. Engine coolant contains substances that lower the freezing point of water, acting as antifreeze agents to prevent the cooling system from freezing in cold weather.

Do brake pads need to be replaced all four at once?

Brake pads do not necessarily need to be replaced all four at once. You can replace all four simultaneously, or just the front two or rear two. However, brake pads should not be replaced individually; it's best to replace them in pairs. Otherwise, differences in braking force may cause issues like pulling to one side. Typically, new brake pads are about 1.5 cm thick, and there is a raised indicator at both ends of the pad, approximately 3 mm high. If the brake pad thickness wears down to this indicator level, immediate replacement is required. Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are critical safety components in a vehicle's braking system, playing a decisive role in overall braking performance.
