Parking brake adjustment: First, fully release the parking brake lever to its limit position. Remove the clamping bolt at the end of the rocker arm, take off the rocker arm, and rotate it counterclockwise by one or several teeth. Then, readjust the adjustment nut on the pull rod until pulling the parking brake lever results in 3-5 "clicks" of travel, the lever feels noticeably harder to pull, and the vehicle can stop as per technical requirements. Below is more information about the parking brake: 1. The parking brake, commonly referred to as the handbrake, is a manual brake installed in motor vehicles. It is used to stabilize the vehicle after it has come to a stop, preventing accidents caused by rolling on inclined surfaces. The handbrake is typically located within easy reach of the driver's right hand for convenience. Some automatic transmission models on the market feature a foot brake on the outer side of the driver's left foot, which serves the same function as the handbrake. Advanced models may also be equipped with an electronic parking brake system. 2. To engage the parking brake, press the brake pedal down and pull the parking brake lever all the way up. To release the parking brake, press the brake pedal down, pull the parking brake lever up slightly, press the button on the end of the handle with your thumb, and then lower the parking brake lever back to its original position. 3. For vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, always apply the parking brake first before shifting the gear lever to the "P" (Park) position. When parking on an incline, if you shift to "P" before applying the parking brake, the weight of the vehicle may make it difficult to shift out of "P" when you are ready to drive.

Does the new Sagitar's auto hold need to be pressed every time?

The new Sagitar's auto hold does not need to be pressed every time. Auto hold, also known as AUTOHOLD, refers to an automatic braking function. The function of auto hold: After activating the auto hold function, the car can brake automatically, such as when stopping at a traffic light, which is equivalent to not using the handbrake. This avoids the use of the handbrake or electronic handbrake, thereby simplifying the driver's operation. For automatic transmission models, there is no need to frequently switch between D to N or D to P. How to use auto hold: Under the premise of fastening the seat belt and closing the door, simply press the AUTOHOLD button when needed. When stopping, step on the brake, and the auto hold will activate. When starting, shift gears, release the clutch, and press the accelerator simultaneously to automatically deactivate the auto hold function.

What is the reason for the unapproved status of Subject 3?

If the study hours for Subject 3 show as unapproved, it is because even when the required hours are completed (24 hours for Subject 3, with a daily limit of 4 hours), the review process takes 3-7 working days. Therefore, please wait patiently for some time. The conditions for scheduling the Subject 3 exam are that the study hours must be completed and approved as valid, and you must wait at least 10 days after passing Subject 2 before you can schedule it. Below is an introduction to the content of the Subject 3 exam: 1. The road driving skills test for Subject 3 generally includes: preparation before getting on the car, simulated light test, starting, driving in a straight line, gear shifting operations, changing lanes, pulling over, driving straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting other vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night. 2. The safety and civilized driving knowledge test generally includes: requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and knowledge on handling traffic accidents.

Why Should the Clutch Be Released Slowly?

Manual transmission vehicles only require slow clutch release in low gears. In high gears, the clutch can be released directly, which is actually beneficial for the vehicle. Below is relevant information about the clutch: 1. Introduction: The clutch is located within the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch serves as the input shaft of the transmission. 2. Function: During vehicle operation, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily disconnect or gradually engage the engine with the transmission, thereby interrupting or transmitting the engine's power to the transmission. The clutch is a common component in mechanical transmissions, allowing the drivetrain to be disconnected or engaged at any time. 3. Basic Requirements for the Clutch: Smooth engagement, quick and thorough disengagement; easy adjustment and repair; compact size; lightweight; good wear resistance and sufficient heat dissipation capacity.

How to Determine a Car's Power?

Car power can be judged as follows: 1. Maximum Speed: The highest achievable driving speed of a car under windless conditions on a level, good asphalt or concrete road surface. 2. Acceleration Ability: The capability of a car to rapidly increase its speed while driving, usually expressed in terms of acceleration time and acceleration distance. Acceleration ability includes two aspects: standing start acceleration and overtaking acceleration. 3. Climbing Ability: The maximum gradient a car can climb when driving in first gear on a good road surface. It is required to be able to climb slopes of no less than 60% or 30 degrees. For trucks, a climbing ability of around 30% is required. Since passenger cars have higher speeds and often operate on well-maintained roads, their climbing ability is not emphasized, generally being around 20%.

How to Distinguish Between National III, IV, and V Vehicles?

Methods to distinguish between National III, IV, and V vehicles: 1. Vehicle Registration Certificate: The vehicle registration certificate, commonly known as the 'big green book,' has the relevant information clearly marked. 2. Environmental Protection Green Label: Three stars indicate National III, four stars indicate National IV, and five stars indicate National V. 3. Year Estimation: Since National III, IV, and V standards were implemented in specific years, you can estimate based on the vehicle's model year. Emission Standards: The European Union began implementing emission standards in the early 1990s. China's National I standard was implemented in 2001, so China's emission standards have always been based on EU standards, albeit with different names. The current National VI standard, officially named the 'National Sixth Stage Emission Standard for Motor Vehicles,' refers to vehicles produced under this stage as National VI vehicles.

What speed can a 300W power vehicle achieve on the road?

It is difficult to determine the maximum speed based solely on power, as it is greatly influenced by vehicle parameters, weight, and road conditions. However, generally speaking, higher power and higher rotational speed correspond to a higher maximum speed for the vehicle. Power: Power refers to the work done by an object per unit of time, meaning power is a physical quantity that indicates how fast work is being done. The rotational speed at which an engine reaches its maximum power is called the maximum power speed. Speed: The distance a vehicle travels per unit of time, referred to as speed. Common units are kilometers per hour or meters per second. Vehicle speed is one of the three parameters used to describe traffic flow and holds significant importance in the study of traffic flow theory.
