If power supply is restored after emergency operation, pressing the parking brake button three times can release it. Here is a detailed introduction about the car brake: 1. Meaning: The parking brake, usually refers to the manual brake installed on motor vehicles, commonly known as the handbrake, used to stabilize the vehicle after it is parked, preventing accidents caused by the vehicle rolling on sloping roads. 2. Function: The role of the parking brake is to stabilize the vehicle after it is parked, avoiding accidents due to rolling on inclined surfaces. 3. Others: Common handbrakes are generally placed at the position where the driver's right hand hangs down, making them easy to use. Some automatic transmission models on the market have a foot brake with the same function as the handbrake designed outside the driver's left foot, and some advanced models are also equipped with an electronic parking brake system.

What do 95V and 95W mean on tires?

95: Indicates the load index (the corresponding load capacity for this index is 690kg). V: Indicates the maximum speed must not exceed 240KM/H. W represents a maximum speed of 270 kilometers per hour. Below are some related introductions about tire maintenance: 1. Perform wheel alignment and tire rotation: After every 10,000 kilometers traveled, wheel alignment and tire rotation should be performed. 2. Regularly check tire pressure: Tire maintenance also includes regular pressure checks. Tires with pressure exceeding the specified level will significantly reduce their service life, while tires with pressure below the specified level will lead to poorer braking performance, steering difficulties or heavy steering, and also reduce the tire's service life.

What does D+ and D- mean in an automatic transmission?

Automatic transmission D+ and D- represent the manual mode of the automatic transmission, indicating that the vehicle is equipped with a tiptronic transmission, which has both automatic gear shifting functions and simulated manual gear shifting functions. Here is more information about tiptronic transmissions: 1. Traditional automatic transmissions offer superior operability and driving comfort but lack the free driving experience of manual transmission vehicles. Tiptronic transmissions were developed to address this situation, combining the advantages of both automatic and manual transmissions. 2. The D+ and D- in automatic transmissions not only have automatic gear shifting functions but also manual gear shifting functions, breaking free from the limitations of traditional automatic transmissions. This allows drivers to enjoy the freedom of manual gear shifting while also experiencing the driving comfort of an automatic transmission.

What is a Taillight?

Automotive taillights include: turn signals, brake lights, position lights, rear fog lights, reverse lights, and parking lights. Below is extended information about automotive taillights: 1. Distribution of rear fog lights and reverse lights: left fog light, right reverse light, meaning there is one fog light and one reverse light. Turn signals and brake lights are symmetrical, with one on each side. 2. Colors: Considering the wavelength penetration of light, there are generally three colors: yellow, red, and white. For situations requiring better illumination, white lights are used, such as reverse lights and license plate information lights. Turn signals use more noticeable yellow or red. Lights that need to be conspicuous and warning, such as brake lights, high-mounted brake lights, night lights, and width indicator lights, use these colors.

How to Check Tire Pressure in Vehicles?

To check tire pressure in vehicles, a tire pressure gauge is used. There are both electronic and mechanical types of tire pressure gauges, with the same principle of pressure measurement. Mechanical gauges are simpler and more straightforward, and they don't require battery replacement. Before measuring the tire pressure, press the reset button to zero the pointer, then screw the gauge's interface onto the tire's air valve. Once fully connected, the current tire pressure value will be displayed directly. The functions of tire pressure monitoring: 1. Prevent accidents: The tire pressure monitoring system is a type of active safety equipment that can alert the driver in time when there are dangerous signs in the tires, prompting them to take appropriate measures to avoid serious accidents; 2. Extend tire lifespan: With the tire pressure monitoring system, tires can always be kept working within the specified pressure and temperature range, reducing tire damage and extending their service life.
