If the slope angle is not significant, parking overnight will not have an impact, but long-term parking on a slope can damage the car. Below are the effects of long-term parking on a slope on a car: Frame deformation: The manufacturing tolerances for the car body are very strict. Parking on a slope causes the entire body to tilt, resulting in uneven force distribution and deformation. Over time, this can lead to irreversible frame deformation, which may even affect the normal opening and closing of car doors. Suspension system damage: This includes the shock absorber springs, shock absorbers, and anti-roll bars. When a car is parked on a slope, except for the shock absorbers not being in operation, the shock absorber springs and anti-roll bars remain under tension. Long-term parking on a slope can cause uneven fatigue in the springs on one side, leading to reduced performance and lifespan. Tire wear: Tires bear all the weight of the car. Parking on a slope causes uneven force distribution on the tires, leading to deformation or uneven wear.

Under what circumstances does ABS activate?

ABS activates during emergency braking, and it will also trigger when braking hard on slippery or icy roads. ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System. During emergency braking, the ABS system allows the wheels to maintain a rolling-while-sliding state. It prevents wheel lock-up during hard braking, as locked wheels can cause skidding and loss of control. If all wheels lock up, the driver cannot steer the vehicle using the steering wheel. Typically, a driver's instinctive reaction in an emergency is to stomp the brake pedal fully. Without ABS, the vehicle would quickly lose control. The ABS system exists to prevent this situation - it maintains the wheels in a rolling-while-sliding state during emergency braking, essentially performing pulsed braking on the wheels. ABS can apply brakes 60 to 120 times per second to each wheel.
