You need to press the brake. Here are the relevant details: 1. Electronic Handbrake: The electronic handbrake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both of which rely on the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads to control parking braking. The only difference is that the control method has changed from the traditional mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. 2. Working Principle: The electronic parking system operates on the same principle as the manual mechanical parking brake system, achieving parking through the friction clamping between the brake shoes and the brake drum or between the friction pads and the brake disc. However, the control method has been replaced by electronic buttons and motor actions instead of manual operation and mechanical linkage. Therefore, the full name of this system is the Electronically Controlled Mechanical Parking Brake System.

How to Use the Outlander 4WD System?

Outlander 4WD usage methods: 1. 4WD-ECO (Two-Wheel Drive Mode) The 4WD-ECO mode switches the vehicle from four-wheel drive to two-wheel drive, primarily used for daily driving on paved roads. Front-wheel drive offers better fuel economy compared to four-wheel drive. In this mode, the Outlander operates with front-wheel drive. If the system detects slippery road conditions, it will automatically switch to four-wheel drive. 2. 4WD-AUTO (Automatic Four-Wheel Drive Mode) In this mode, the Outlander engages four-wheel drive. The 4WD system adjusts torque distribution between the front and rear axles based on wheel traction. This mode can be used at both high and low speeds. It enhances safety and stability when driving on unpaved or slippery surfaces. However, fuel consumption is higher in this mode compared to two-wheel drive. 3. 4WD-LOCK (Four-Wheel Drive Lock Mode) This mode is mainly used to help the Outlander escape difficult terrain. In LOCK mode, torque distribution between the front and rear axles is fixed at 50:50, enabling the vehicle to handle complex road conditions with strong off-road capability. Use this mode when stuck or driving through muddy terrain. Note: This mode is not suitable for high-speed driving as it may cause the 4WD system to overheat.

What brand of tires does the 10th-generation Accord use?

The 10th-generation Accord comes with three tire brands, such as Bridgestone, Michelin, and Hankook, with different model years using different tires. Below is relevant information: 1. The tire specifications for the 10th-generation Accord are 225/50R17-94V, and the original factory tire brand is Michelin PRIMACY-3. The wheel hub is internally fitted with damping adhesive, and the openings on the spokes connect to the side openings of the tire, which to some extent reduces wind noise during driving. 2. Michelin was founded in 1889 in Clermont-Ferrand, France. Over more than 100 years, Michelin has undergone continuous innovation and development. It now operates businesses across five continents and has R&D centers in Europe, North America, and Asia.

What kind of engine oil is best for Haval F5?

When the minimum local temperature is around -30°C, it is recommended to use engine oil with a specification of 5W-30. If the minimum temperature in your area is below -30°C, then use engine oil with a specification of 0W-30. Here is a related introduction to engine oil: 1. The engine oil grade indicates the viscosity specification. The "W" stands for Winter, and the smaller the number before it, the better the low-temperature fluidity. The number after the "W" indicates high-temperature protection performance, with a larger number indicating better high-temperature protection. 2. In addition to viscosity specifications, automotive engine oils are also categorized into full synthetic, semi-synthetic, and mineral oils. (1) Mineral oil: This is based on petroleum-refined mineral oil with added additives. Its advantage lies in its affordable price, but its lubrication and protection for the engine are not as high as the other two types. (2) Semi-synthetic oil: This is a middle ground between mineral oil and full synthetic oil. It provides good lubrication and cleaning effects for the engine, with a moderate price and high cost performance. (3) Full synthetic oil: Full synthetic oil offers better lubrication, cleaning, lower friction resistance, and is less prone to oxidation. Its lifespan is 1.5 times that of regular engine oil, but it is also naturally more expensive. Currently, it is highly favored by many car owners.
