After parking, the electronic parking brake does not engage automatically and requires manual operation by the driver. Below are the specific steps to manually engage the electronic parking brake: 1. Press the car's brake pedal to slow down the vehicle. 2. Park the vehicle on a safe road surface. 3. Shift the car's gear lever to the P (Park) position. 4. Pull up the electronic parking brake switch. 5. Press the car's one-touch start button to turn off the engine. Below are the correct steps to use the electronic parking brake: 1. While pressing the brake to keep the vehicle stationary, pull up the electronic parking brake button. 2. The driver can see a red electronic parking brake symbol on the dashboard, indicating that the electronic parking brake is engaged. Below are the methods to release the electronic parking brake: 1. Shift the gear to D (Drive), press the accelerator, and the electronic parking brake will automatically release. 2. Press the brake and push down the electronic parking brake button.

What are the effects of revving the engine in neutral?

Revving the engine in neutral can cause significant damage to the vehicle. When the car is in neutral, the engine operates without any load. Suddenly pressing the accelerator in this state subjects certain engine components to substantial inertial forces, which can shorten the engine's lifespan. Precautions for using a car engine are as follows: 1. Avoid driving in neutral: The engine inherently has a fuel-cut function during deceleration. Being in neutral is actually counterproductive for fuel efficiency. 2. Pay attention to observations while using the vehicle: If you notice oil on the ground, determine whether it indicates an engine oil leak. Communicate promptly with the car's 4S store to eliminate potential safety hazards. 3. Do not turn off the engine immediately: For vehicles equipped with turbochargers, avoid turning off the engine immediately after high-speed driving or climbing a slope. Let the engine idle for 10 minutes before shutting it down. Turbocharged vehicles accumulate carbon deposits several times faster than naturally aspirated engines. 4. Replace or filter the brake fluid: If the brake fluid is contaminated with water or contains impurities or sediment, it should be replaced or carefully filtered immediately. Otherwise, it may lead to insufficient braking pressure, affecting braking performance.

Is It Legal to Install a Roof Rack on a Car?

Installing a roof rack on a car requires applying for approval and modification procedures at the relevant vehicle management office within 10 days after the modification. Otherwise, it will be considered illegal modification. Below are the relevant regulations for modification: 1. Article 54 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states that the load carried by a motor vehicle shall not exceed the approved load capacity specified in the vehicle's license, and the length and width of the load shall not exceed the dimensions of the vehicle body. 2. For heavy and medium-duty trucks and semi-trailers, the height of the load from the ground shall not exceed 4 meters, and for vehicles carrying containers, the height shall not exceed 4.2 meters. 3. For other motor vehicles carrying loads, the height from the ground shall not exceed 2.5 meters. 4. For motorcycles, the height of the load from the ground shall not exceed 1.5 meters, and the length shall not exceed the body by 0.2 meters. For two-wheeled motorcycles, the width of the load on each side shall not exceed the handlebars by 0.15 meters. 5. For three-wheeled motorcycles, the width of the load shall not exceed the body. Passenger cars are not allowed to carry goods except for the external roof rack and built-in luggage compartment. The height of the load on the roof rack of a passenger car shall not exceed 0.5 meters from the roof or 4 meters from the ground.

How to Store Motor Oil?

After opening the motor oil, find a clean plastic bag, fold it multiple layers, then cover the oil container opening and tighten the cap. Below are the specific introductions of motor oil: 1. Mineral Oil: Refined from crude oil. Generally, the cost of mineral oil is very low, but since the mineral oil base is prone to oxidation, various imported additives are added to mineral oils, with a service life of about six months. 2. Semi-Synthetic Oil: The refining cost is higher, but it has good oxidation resistance, making it a quite good long-lasting oil with a service life of about twelve months. Considering the balance between price and quality, semi-synthetic oil has the widest range of applications. 3. Fully Synthetic Oil: It is chemically synthesized oil, which can still maintain lubrication even under conditions where the base oil fails.

Is it necessary to clean carbon deposits on piston tops?

It is absolutely necessary to clean them. If left uncleaned, the consequences include reduced power, increased fuel consumption, louder noise, and higher pollution levels in exhaust emissions. Below are expanded explanations of the causes of carbon deposits: 1. Poor fuel atomization: Diesel engine piston tops are prone to carbon buildup. The main cause is poor fuel atomization by the injector, which results in inadequate mixing of fuel and air, incomplete combustion, and ultimately carbon deposits on the piston top. 2. Excessive engine oil: This is mostly due to excessive clearance between the piston and cylinder, or incorrectly installed piston rings, especially trapezoidal rings. If installed in the wrong direction, they can scrape oil towards the piston top.

Is a tire pressure of 268 normal for the Buick Regal?

Buick Regal tire pressure of 268 is not normal, it is slightly high. Here are some relevant introductions about the tire pressure of the Buick Regal: 1. Normal tire pressure range: The normal pressure should be maintained between 220 and 240 kilopascals. Both overinflation and underinflation are not good. 2. Underinflation: If the pressure is insufficient, the tread on both sides of the tire will wear excessively. The tire body will distort and deform due to low pressure, generating high temperatures, which can easily lead to the danger of a blowout and also increase fuel consumption. 3. Overinflation: If the pressure is too high, the tire's elasticity will become hard, reducing its shock absorption ability and affecting ride comfort.
