brakehold does not damage the car. brakehold refers to the ABH (Auto Brake Hold) automatic parking system. When the function is activated, the car can be stopped by pressing the brake pedal during brief temporary stops, and the braking force can be released by stepping on the accelerator pedal when moving forward is needed. The working principle of the automatic parking system is that the brake management system controls the four-wheel brakes through the extended function of the electronic parking brake (EPB). In other words, the automatic parking system is an extended function of the electronic parking brake (EPB), controlled by the ESP component.

I've driven several cars with the Brake Hold function, and this feature really doesn't harm the car—it's quite helpful instead. When you park, you press the button, and it electronically locks the brakes so the wheels don't move at all. There's no friction or wear on the brake pads, and it only releases when you press the accelerator. It's much more effortless than the old-fashioned method of holding down the pedal, and it's very safe against rolling. My car has been driven for three years, and the braking system is still like new. During regular maintenance, the mechanics always praise its good condition. It's not troublesome to use either—just press the button after starting the car, and it doesn't affect the car's lifespan at all; in fact, it extends the life of the components. Just remember not to repeatedly engage it on steep slopes. With normal operation, it's completely harmless—feel free to use it with confidence.

As someone who frequently delves into automotive technology, I believe Brake Hold causes no harm to vehicles—it's actually an advancement in electronic assistance systems. When you stop and activate it, sensors detect the stationary state and maintain braking through hydraulic or electronic means, keeping the wheels fixed with zero friction wear since brakes only wear during movement. This design enhances durability while reducing extra operations, and safety-wise, it prevents rollaway accidents—I find it super convenient during highway traffic jams. Electronic components have long lifespans with low failure rates; just perform regular brake fluid checks and don't worry unnecessarily. Modern cars undergo rigorous testing, so with proper usage, it's absolutely safe and even saves maintenance costs.

As a novice, I was initially afraid that using Brake Hold in my first car would damage it, but practice proved it to be harmless and safe. When parked with Brake Hold enabled, the wheels don't move and the brake pads don't experience friction - they only engage when starting to move, preventing wear and protecting the system. After six months of use, my brake pads still look new. It saves effort, prevents rolling, makes daily driving more convenient with simple one-button operation, and has caused zero problems in normal use.

As a seasoned driver with 20 years of experience, the Brake Hold feature causes no damage to the car. The wheels remain stationary with no movement, resulting in zero wear on the braking system. It only consumes energy during driving, ensuring safety and reliability while preventing accidents. It also extends the lifespan of components and makes maintenance easy—just a simple check during regular servicing. Use it with confidence and without worry.

Why is there no heating in the car?

There is no heating in the car because there is a problem with the car's cooling system or exhaust fan. The following is how the heating and cooling system works: 1. Cold air: Cold air is formed by compressing the refrigerant to liquefy it and then vaporize it, absorbing a large amount of heat from the air; when the cold air is turned on, the compressor pulley drives the compressor to work, increasing the engine load and consuming a certain amount of fuel. 2. Warm air: Warm air comes from the heat generated by the engine during operation: when the engine's cooling system dissipates heat from the engine, the fan sends the dissipated heat into the car to form warm air; when the warm air is not in use, the fan stops, the warm air outlet closes, and the dissipated heat is completely released into the atmosphere.

What is the difference between National 5 and National 6 when buying a car?

The differences between National 5 and National 6 when buying a car are as follows: 1. Price difference: National 6 cars are generally more expensive than National 5 cars, mainly because automakers need to comply with policy implementation by submitting applications to relevant departments and conducting various pollution tests, which increases costs and consequently raises the vehicle price. Additionally, National 6 vehicles are equipped with more configurations compared to National 5 to reduce environmental pollution. 2. Access restrictions: With the implementation of the National 6 policy, vehicles that do not meet the emission standards will face certain driving restrictions. Typically, National 5 or below vehicles may be directly prohibited from road use due to non-compliance with emission requirements. Therefore, many National 5 vehicle owners switch to National 6 cars to ensure normal road usage.

Can electric sedans be registered with blue license plates?

Electric sedans cannot be registered with blue license plates; they require green license plates. The following are the differences between blue and green license plates: 1. Applicable vehicle types differ: Green license plates are for new energy vehicles, specifically all-electric and hybrid electric vehicles. Blue license plates are for conventional energy vehicles, i.e., gasoline and diesel vehicles. 2. License plate tail numbers differ: Green license plates have increased from 5 digits to 6 digits, using only two letters: D and F. D represents pure electric, while F represents hybrid. Blue license plates have 5 digits. 3. Different technologies employed: Green license plates utilize new technologies, incorporating two-dimensional barcodes, anti-counterfeiting background patterns, and other anti-counterfeiting measures to enhance security performance.
