The power steering fluid in a Lavida should generally be changed every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. The method for changing the power steering fluid in a Lavida is as follows: 1. When changing the power steering fluid, first start the car and use a fluid extractor to remove the old fluid completely. 2. Inject new power steering fluid, then turn the steering wheel back and forth to allow the new fluid to penetrate, which also helps clean the system. For thorough penetration, it is best to turn the steering wheel fully left and right, then slightly left and right. The purpose of turning the steering wheel back and forth is to expel the old fluid from the steering gear, but avoid holding the steering wheel at full lock for too long, as this may cause excessive oil pressure and lead to the power steering fluid spraying out. 3. Once again, remove the fluid from the power steering reservoir and inject new fluid, then turn the steering wheel again. 4. Remove the fluid a third time. The purpose of this repeated process is to ensure the old fluid is completely removed before injecting new fluid.

Is the electronic brake pulled up or pushed down?

Electronic brake is pulled up to engage and pushed down to release. The working principle of the electronic brake is that the sensor identifies and judges whether to initiate the emergency braking procedure by analyzing the driver's pedal operation. Thus, the system can immediately activate maximum braking pressure to achieve the highest possible braking effect, achieving ideal stopping power to prevent traffic accidents. Braking is divided into the following two situations: Hand-operated parking brake: Special attention is required during this process. If the vehicle speed is too high, forcefully pulling the handbrake may cause the vehicle to roll over. Therefore, to avoid accidents at high speeds, the handbrake should be gently pulled to prevent rollover incidents. Electronic parking brake: In addition to the hand-operated parking brake, there is also an electronic button-type parking brake, which is much more stable compared to the hand-operated type. This electronic parking brake controls the braking force through the vehicle's computer to achieve braking. As another braking method, it does not rely on the hydraulic braking system, making the electronic parking brake very useful when the foot brake fails.

Can traffic restriction cameras capture motorcycles?

Traffic restriction cameras can capture motorcycles. Here are the specific details about traffic restriction cameras: Introduction: Currently, the most commonly used devices for capturing traffic violations in cities are electronic cameras. These cameras can monitor vehicles in real-time within the surveillance area. When a vehicle commits a violation such as running a red light, driving in the wrong direction, or crossing the line, the electronic camera will capture multiple consecutive images of the incident. Traffic Restrictions: In principle, traffic restrictions impose penalties for each instance of flashing (violation). However, violating the prohibition signs on the same road during the same time period constitutes a single violation, while violations on different roads during different time periods count as multiple violations. Violating the prohibition signs and entering restricted roads on different roads during the same time period is considered multiple violations.
