Both electronic parking brakes and handbrakes have their own advantages. The specific differences between the two are as follows: 1. Space occupation: Handbrakes take up more space; electronic parking brakes are aesthetically pleasing, convenient, and space-saving. 2. Functionality: Handbrakes can be used for drifting maneuvers; electronic parking brakes cannot perform drifting. 3. Control system: Handbrakes are not affected by the battery; electronic parking brakes may malfunction or encounter issues when the battery fails. Below is an introduction to electronic parking brakes: Electronic parking brakes use electronic control to achieve parking braking. Their working principle is the same as mechanical handbrakes, both of which tighten the rear wheel brake shoes through cables for braking.

How to Maintain the Brake System?

Brake system maintenance methods: 1. Regularly inspect and replace the brake fluid; 2. Brake pads and discs generate iron filings due to prolonged friction and need regular cleaning; 3. If the car shakes when braking, regularly check the brake pads and discs; 4. Be cautious about applying the handbrake after washing the car in winter. The brake system consists of a control system, hydraulic system, and power assist system. The control system includes the pedal, handbrake, etc., while the hydraulic system is composed of hydraulic oil, brake pump, and hydraulic pipes. The working principle of the brake is to convert the kinetic energy of the car into frictional heat energy to dissipate it. Common brake devices include drum brakes and disc brakes.

Is the steering wheel the same as the direction wheel?

Steering wheel is the direction wheel, which is a wheel-shaped device used to control the driving direction of cars, ships, aircraft, etc. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque and then transmit it to the steering shaft. It is mainly composed of a skeleton, foam, and the corresponding installation clips or screw holes for the driver airbag DAB. The appropriate position of the steering wheel is to adjust the front and rear distance of the steering wheel to a natural sitting posture, with one hand gently resting on the top of the steering wheel and the arm kept basically straight with only a slight bend. The prerequisite for adjusting the front and rear distance and angle of the car steering wheel is to ensure that the seat parameters have been fully adjusted to a reasonable position. Only when the seat is correctly adjusted can the steering wheel adjustment step be carried out.
