Electronic parking brake malfunctions typically manifest as either the inability to engage or release the brake. Solutions include: 1. If the electronic parking brake fails to engage, try restarting the vehicle and attempting again. If unsuccessful, a detailed inspection or repair at a repair shop or 4S store is necessary; 2. If the electronic parking brake cannot be released, rendering the vehicle immobile—a relatively rare scenario—call for roadside assistance; 3. If the malfunction occurs after replacing the rear brake pads, it is advisable to visit a repair shop or 4S store for a recalibration of the electronic braking system. For other faults, inspect the circuit at the fuse or electronic parking brake switch. The electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves parking brake functionality through electronic control, operating on the same principle as mechanical handbrakes by utilizing friction between the brake disc and pads to control parking braking, with the only difference being the shift from a lever-operated handbrake to an electronic button control.

Can I Add Antifreeze by Myself?

You can add car antifreeze by yourself. Yes, as long as the colors match, you can add it directly. Method for adding antifreeze: Before completely replacing the antifreeze, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipes, with a special focus on the five-way water pipe. The five-way pipe gets its name from the five interfaces that connect various parts. Antifreeze flows through the five-way pipe and is then distributed to different parts of the car to function. If there is any leakage of antifreeze in this section, replace the water pipe or re-secure the interface as needed. Drain the old antifreeze, then flush the liquid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the antifreeze reservoir and continue filling it until water flows continuously through the engine cooling system. Then, start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the water flowing out of the reservoir may have a faint pink tint. Continue adding clean water until the outflowing water is clear. Remember to remove the heater water pipe and drain the water from the heater. Antifreeze composition: The main components of antifreeze are: 50% pure water, 40% methanol, and 10% other substances.

What to Do When the Car Shows Insufficient Tire Pressure?

Insufficient tire pressure indicates that there is a leak in the car tire that needs to be repaired promptly. Visually inspect whether the tire can still continue to drive. If it can, drive to the nearest tire repair shop for treatment; if the tire pressure is already too low to drive, it is recommended to use an onboard air pump to inflate the tire, then go to the nearest repair shop for servicing; or replace it with the spare tire and then go for repair. The following is an introduction to car tire pressure: 1. Tire pressure, strictly speaking, refers to the pressure of the air inside the tire. In car maintenance, the engine is the heart of the car, and the damage to the engine will lead to the end of the car's life. Then, the tire pressure is the blood pressure of the car, and the level of tire pressure plays a crucial role in the performance and power of the car. 2. Tire pressure monitoring is the real-time automatic monitoring of tire pressure during the car's operation, and it alerts the driver in case of tire leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. Tire pressure monitoring is divided into indirect and direct types. Determining the type of tire pressure monitoring in your car helps to promptly address the issue when the tire pressure monitoring light comes on.

What engine does the Hongqi H9 have?

The engine of the Hongqi H9 is independently developed by China FAW and is a domestically produced engine. The engine model of the Hongqi H9 is CA4GC20TD-31. The 2.0T version engine has a maximum power of 185kW and a maximum torque of 380Nm, while the 3.0T version engine has a maximum power of 208kW and a maximum torque of 400Nm. For daily maintenance of the Hongqi H9 engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, choose SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and keep the oil level moderate. When oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through, the filter may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and bring contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while large amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
