Methods to deal with brake failure are: 1. Turn on the hazard lights to alert other vehicles; 2. Shift to a lower gear; 3. Pull over and gradually apply the handbrake. Braking refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, other transport tools, or machinery. The causes of brake failure include: 1. Impurities in the master brake cylinder or poor sealing; 2. Failure of the vacuum booster pump; 3. Dirty brake fluid; 4. Oil leakage from the master or slave brake cylinder; 5. Air leakage from the air reservoir or pipeline connections; 6. Severe overloading; 7. Carbonization of the brake drum; 8. Lack of brake fluid in the master cylinder; 9. Wear of the master brake cylinder piston.

What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time for the Civic?

0-100 km/h acceleration refers to the time it takes for a car to accelerate from a standstill to 100 km/h after ignition. For the 2021 Civic, the CVT New Edge Control model has a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9.3 seconds, the manual Joy Control model is 9 seconds, and the CVT Sport Control and Sport Control models are 9.6 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time include: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, indicates how much force is available. The greater the torque, the more force is applied to propel the vehicle, resulting in faster acceleration. The 2021 Civic HATCHBACK-220TURBO-CVT Sport Control has a maximum torque of 180 Nm and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9.6 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission acts as a medium for transferring power, inevitably involving power loss. The higher the transmission efficiency, the better the acceleration performance. Generally, transmission efficiency ranks as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The 2021 Civic HATCHBACK-220TURBO-CVT Sport Control is equipped with a CVT continuously variable transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (measured in Hp/T). A higher power-to-weight ratio results in faster acceleration. The Civic has a power-to-weight ratio of 132 Hp/T, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time ranging from 8.6 to 11.3 seconds.

What is Volkswagen Bora Double Protection 1699?

It refers to the additional protection cost beyond the free warranty, where payment extends the warranty to a total of 6 years. Typically, a car's warranty period is 3 years, but with Double Protection, it becomes 6 years. The car warranty period is the timeframe during which the car manufacturer promises to provide free repairs and maintenance for faults caused by quality issues when selling the product to consumers. In addition to specifying the warranty period for various components, free warranty services will not be available under the following circumstances: 1. Failure to perform maintenance as required: If the owner does not take the new car to the designated 4S shop or manufacturer-specified service station for regular maintenance within the specified mileage (check price for details), and the car develops problems, even within the warranty period, the owner will have to pay certain repair costs. 2. Unauthorized modifications to the vehicle: 'No warranty for modified cars' is almost a consensus among all manufacturers regarding warranty issues. Some brands even stipulate in their warranty terms that if the owner changes the vehicle's purpose for use, such as for rental, leasing, or competitive racing, it will be considered an automatic forfeiture of warranty rights. 3. Damage caused by improper use: The car warranty can only provide broad protection to customers. Damage caused by improper use or traffic accidents will be the responsibility of the owner or their insurance company.

What Does the Exclamation Mark on the Dashboard Indicate?

When an exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard, it can indicate one of five possible issues: general malfunction, automatic transmission failure, brake system failure, abnormal tire pressure, or lighting system failure. Below is a detailed analysis of each scenario: General Malfunction: A triangle with an exclamation mark inside signifies a general performance or component malfunction. Common causes include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor issues. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop for diagnosis and repair to identify the root cause. Automatic Transmission Failure: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark indicates an automatic transmission warning light, suggesting transmission failure or low transmission fluid levels. Immediate replacement of transmission fluid is necessary. Brake System Failure: An exclamation mark inside a circle with parentheses represents a brake system warning, typically due to brake system malfunction or low brake fluid levels. Immediate inspection and repair of the brake system are crucial to prevent accidents. Abnormal Tire Pressure: An exclamation mark with a horizontal line below parentheses indicates a tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates when tire pressure is too low. Check and adjust the tire pressure to the normal range. Lighting System Failure: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting failure indicator, signaling a malfunction in the vehicle's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or perform a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the issue.

ETC Device Installation Position?

The ETC installation position is generally in the upper middle part of the front windshield, while for large vehicles such as trucks and buses, the installation position is in the lower middle part. The suitable installation position should be at a height of no less than 1.2 meters and no higher than 2.5 meters, with an installation angle between 30 to 90 degrees. For vehicles with factory-installed or aftermarket explosion-proof film, which may affect the signal transmission of the microwave communication link, the device should be installed in the microwave sunroof strip. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, meaning electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, the vehicle owner needs to provide the original and photocopy of their valid ID card and vehicle license. If the application is handled by a proxy, the proxy's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection seal. A bank card for deducting highway tolls is also needed, and the vehicle must be registered under the name of an individual aged 18 to 60. Documents required for company vehicles: Introduction letter from the vehicle owner (with company seal); photocopy of the organization code certificate or business license (with company seal); original ID card of the proxy; original vehicle license; the vehicle that needs to apply for ETC. Here are the precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view. It is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a large inclination angle of the windshield, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it will increase the driver's blind spot. Install it behind the rearview mirror on the right side to avoid obstructing the view. Do not affect charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back that can charge itself. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it arbitrarily: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After the electronic tag is installed, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If it is removed arbitrarily, the anti-removal lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will need to go to an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. Precautions for using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to avoid automatic sensing and paying for the vehicle in front. The speed limit for ETC lane recognition is 20 kilometers per hour. Driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle device information and cause payment failure. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause payment failure.
