The working principle of a car braking system is to generate significant friction, converting the vehicle's kinetic energy into thermal energy, thereby achieving the braking effect. The components of a car hydraulic braking system are: 1. Control System: Pedal, handbrake. 2. Hydraulic System: Composed of hydraulic fluid, brake pump, and hydraulic lines. 3. Power Assist System: Vacuum booster pump. 4. Electronic Control System: Composed of ABS pump, ABS sensors, and ABS computer. 5. Execution System: Composed of brake calipers, brake pads, and brake discs. Additional Information: 1. A car braking system refers to a series of specialized devices that apply a certain force to specific parts of the car to enforce a certain degree of braking. 2. The functions of the braking system are: to enable a moving car to decelerate or even stop as required by the driver; to keep a parked car stationary under various road conditions; and to maintain a stable speed for a car moving downhill.

Can I Drive a Sedan on the Duku Highway for a Self-Driving Tour?

Yes. Sedans can pass through the Duku Highway smoothly, but there are many vehicles and sharp turns, so be careful not to overtake recklessly. When driving on the Duku Highway, check the weather forecast before departure and choose good weather conditions, as rain may cause landslides. Before entering the mountains, thoroughly inspect your car, especially the brakes. Below are some tips for driving on dangerous sections: 1. Study hard and accumulate driving experience: For those without experience driving on dangerous roads, it is essential to first engage in some theoretical learning to enrich their foundational knowledge, enabling them to make quick judgments in emergencies. 2. Conduct on-site reconnaissance and choose favorable routes: Roads in dangerous sections are generally hazardous. When encountering such sections, get out of the car to scout the intended route and select the most favorable path to ensure driving safety. 3. Choose a good vehicle and perform thorough technical checks: A well-maintained vehicle is a prerequisite for navigating dangerous sections, and technical inspections are of utmost importance. A car in good condition can better avoid various sudden dangers.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Ford Fiesta in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Fiesta is 42 liters, as officially announced. The recommended fuel grade for the Fiesta is 92 octane, with a fuel consumption of 5.5-6.9L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 609-818km. During daily driving, it is necessary to always pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is usually observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge typically has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the car manufacturer is from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space is reserved to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual fuel amount may exceed the marked tank capacity.

What Causes Striped Flickering in the Rearview Camera?

The phenomenon of horizontal stripes flickering in the rearview camera is most likely due to poor line contact. It is necessary to promptly check the wiring and the connection points installed in the vehicle to see if there is any loose connection. If there is, it will naturally cause abnormal imaging in the rearview camera. In this case, simply reconnecting it properly will suffice. Of course, it could also be due to aging of the video power cable, and trying to replace it with a new one might help. Below are specific details about rearview cameras: 1. Selection of Rearview Cameras: (1) For use in sedans, consider the camera model (optional waterproof and night vision functions), screen size (3, 5, 7 inches), power supply voltage (12-V). For large vehicles like trucks and buses, 24-V is suitable. (2) For large vehicles, selection should be more cautious. The operating conditions of large vehicles differ significantly from those of sedans. For example: harsh driving environments like construction sites, extreme temperatures, high frequency of reverse gear usage, long working hours, etc. Large vehicles generally have a power supply voltage of 24-V, so rearview cameras designed for sedans cannot be used. Therefore, when selecting a product, it is essential to choose the right product, not based on price or other factors. 2. Considerations: When selecting a rearview camera, pay attention to whether it matches your vehicle model. Factors to consider include camera model, power supply voltage, screen size, waterproofing, shock resistance, anti-interference, etc.

How long can a car run without the key inside?

As long as the engine is not turned off and there is fuel, the car can keep running. The keyless ignition system activates when starting the vehicle, identifying whether it's the genuine owner based on the presence of the key - only when the key is nearby can the car be started with one button. However, once the car is running, the keyless ignition system no longer recognizes the key, and the vehicle can continue moving as long as there is fuel. Here's additional information: While the keyless ignition system is convenient, there are some precautions to note: Never store car keys together with electronic devices. Since the smart key for keyless ignition systems uses low-intensity radio waves for identification, the system may malfunction under magnetic interference. Avoid throwing or dropping the key carelessly - for smart keys, the greatest fear is being dropped from height, as the internal circuitry has weak impact resistance and is prone to damage from severe collisions.
