Driving directly in D gear with the electronic handbrake on can damage the car. Here is a brief introduction to the electronic handbrake: 1. Basic Information: The electronic handbrake, also known as the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) system, integrates temporary braking during driving with long-term parking braking, and achieves parking braking through electronic control. 2. Working Principle: The electronic handbrake uses electronic control to achieve parking braking. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both of which control parking braking through the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads. The only difference is that the control method has changed from the mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button.

What are the causes of oil leakage in the Jimny transmission?

Jimny manual transmission oil leakage causes are as follows: Oil leakage at the oil seal neck: Oil seal aging and deformation, oil seal spring falling off, or incorrect oil seal installation direction. Pipeline damage: Causes oil to leak from the damaged pipeline during circulation. Oil leakage at the gearbox joint surface: Damage to the gearbox joint end face, damaged sealing paper gasket, or loose gearbox cover screws. Oil leakage at the front bearing joint surface: Loose fastening screws or clogged transmission vent hole. Improper use of lubricating oil. Worn oil seal or flange, gear oil exceeding the standard level. Excessive clearance between shaft sections, loose clearance in seat holes and bearings, damaged or ineffective gaskets, damaged or missing sealing washers.

How wide is a bidirectional six-lane road?

The subgrade width of a bidirectional six-lane road is 33-36 meters. Here is the relevant introduction: A bidirectional six-lane road refers to a road with six lanes for vehicles to travel longitudinally, with every three lanes arranged in the same direction. According to national standards, the design speed should not exceed 60 kilometers per hour, with each lane being 3.5 meters wide, resulting in a subgrade width of 33-36 meters for bidirectional six-lane roads. At traffic light intersections, the three lanes in the upward direction of a bidirectional six-lane road are divided into left-turn, straight, and right-turn red light waiting lanes. Bidirectional six-lane roads are widely used in prefecture-level cities, generally with asphalt or cement pavement. The lanes in each direction are sequentially divided into left, middle, and right forms, which helps maintain traffic order.

Will hitting the chassis on a step be very serious?

There are two scenarios when the chassis hits a step: Minor impact: If the impact is not too strong, it's generally not a problem. During the design phase, car chassis are engineered with certain impact resistance. The most vulnerable parts of a car's chassis are various pipelines, such as brake hydraulic lines and fuel pipes, but these pipelines are concealed and protected within grooves of the chassis steel plates, never protruding above the chassis plane. Severe impact: It's recommended to visit a 4S dealership where they have chassis lifts. After elevating the vehicle, inspect for any damage. If the impact involves protruding rocks on the ground, such point-contact collisions may cause the rocks to hit the pipelines in the grooves, potentially leading to oil or fluid leaks, which poses significant hazards.

What is the difference between maintenance and repair?

Repair is for when something is already broken, while maintenance is about identifying potential issues in advance. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Definition of car maintenance: Car maintenance refers to preserving and restoring a vehicle's technical performance, ensuring it maintains good usability and reliability. 2. Advantages of car maintenance: Car maintenance involves extensive knowledge. Timely and proper maintenance can extend a vehicle's service life, enhance safety performance, save money, and avoid many repair troubles. However, the concept of "repairing instead of maintaining" still persists among drivers today, leading to frequent traffic accidents caused by lack of maintenance or improper upkeep. Timely and correct car maintenance is a crucial aspect of extending vehicle lifespan and ensuring driving safety. What we commonly refer to as car maintenance primarily involves work aimed at maintaining the vehicle's good technical condition and prolonging its service life.

What is the material of brake pads?

The materials of brake pads are: 1. Asbestos, cellulose, sintered glass; 2. Carbon fiber friction material; 3. Powder metallurgy friction material; 4. Semi-metallic friction material. Brake pad replacement method: 1. Open the engine compartment to check the brake fluid level to prevent overflow during replacement; 2. Remove the wheel where the brake is located; 3. Remove the bolts of the brake caliper and take out the brake pads; 4. Install new brake pads, tighten the guide bolts, and complete the replacement. The working principle of brake pads is to use the friction between the brake pads and the brake drum, as well as between the tires and the ground, to convert the kinetic energy of the vehicle into heat energy after friction, thereby stopping the car.
