How to Start an Automatic Transmission Car with Electronic Parking Brake?

Press the brake, press the one-touch start button to ignite, shift from P to D while pressing the brake, release the electronic parking brake, and then release the foot brake to start. Below is some related information about automatic transmission cars with electronic parking brakes: 1. Introduction: The professional term for the parking brake is auxiliary brake. Its principle differs from that of the main brake; it uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to brake the car. A return spring is used in conjunction with the parking brake. When the parking brake is engaged, the spring is stretched; when the parking brake is released, the spring returns to its original length. With long-term use, the spring may also deform accordingly. 2. Precautions: Activating the electronic parking brake requires a prior action of pressing the brake and a response time for the button (to avoid misoperation). Additionally, the motor operation time is relatively long, approximately 0.5 seconds.

Can motorcycles with out-of-town license plates be ridden in Shanghai?

Motorcycles with out-of-town license plates can be ridden in Shanghai, but there are restrictions in certain areas. According to the "Notice of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau on Road Traffic Prohibitions and Restrictions in the City," the relevant regulations are as follows: Motorcycles with license plates from other provinces and cities are prohibited from traveling on roads within the following areas: 1. The area enclosed by Hutai Highway—Baoqian Highway—Huyi Highway—Waiqingsong Highway—Huqingping Highway—Zhufeng Highway—Tingfeng Highway—S19 Xinwei Expressway—Xinwei Highway—Weiliu Road—Huhang Highway and the boundary lines between Shanghai and Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces (excluding the aforementioned roads). 2. The area enclosed by Waiqingsong Highway—Huqingping Highway—Fuxing Road—Dianshanhu Avenue—Gangzhou Road—Yingzhu Road—Qingzhao Highway—Beiqing Highway (excluding the aforementioned roads).

Which One is the Clutch and Which One is the Brake in a Car?

In a manual transmission car, there are three pedals arranged from left to right as follows: clutch, brake, and accelerator. The brake pedal is located in the middle and is relatively higher. The clutch pedal is on the far left and is controlled by the left foot. The potential impacts of only pressing the brake without the clutch during emergency braking are as follows: 1. ABS may be affected: Without pressing the clutch, the engine's reverse drag force might interfere with the normal operation of the ABS system. In extreme cases, this could impair handling, such as the effectiveness of emergency avoidance maneuvers, especially on slippery roads, making it even more dangerous. 2. Engine stalling: Only pressing the brake without the clutch will inevitably cause the engine to stall. Although the braking distance remains unchanged, there is still a risk of secondary accidents after stopping. If the engine stalls when a second danger arises, extra steps and time will be needed to escape, posing another safety hazard. 3. Possible misoperation: In emergency situations, people are highly stressed, especially those with poor mechanical operation skills. They may mistakenly operate the pedals in panic. If both the brake and clutch are pressed simultaneously, even accidentally pressing the accelerator won't affect the braking performance.

How Long Can You Run the Air Conditioner While Parked?

It is advisable to run the air conditioner for about 15 minutes when parked. Prolonged use can lead to poor heat dissipation and damage to the car engine. In relatively enclosed environments, such as garages, it may even cause carbon dioxide poisoning. It is best to use the air conditioner in open or well-ventilated areas and leave a small window gap for airflow. When parked, the engine operates at idle speed, resulting in lower RPM and reduced intake pressure. In this state, the engine increases the throttle opening to compensate, which also increases fuel injection. Here are some precautions for using the car air conditioner: 1. Maintain fresh air: Shortly after entering the car, open the windows or activate the external air circulation system to introduce fresh air. Avoid driving for long periods with closed windows and doors, and never sleep or rest for extended periods in a sealed car. 2. Ensure air exchange: After purchasing a new car, treat it like a newly renovated house by maximizing air exchange between the interior and exterior. This helps release harmful gases from the car's interior as quickly as possible.

What is the standard temperature for car air conditioning?

There is no standard temperature for the air coming out of a car's air conditioning vents. In cooling mode, a vent temperature around 10 degrees Celsius is considered normal. If the vent temperature is too high, it indicates poor cooling performance in the air conditioning system. The reasons for poor cooling may include refrigerant not being replaced for a long time, damage to the compressor clutch, or compressor failure. Considerations for selecting air conditioning temperature: 1. Avoid setting it too low: Some people set the temperature very low for quick cooling, which may feel comfortable initially. However, this can disrupt the body's endocrine system. If the indoor temperature is set too low, such as below 20°C, it can cause various discomforts like leg pain, general fatigue, chills, and headaches. If there are elderly or children in the car, it's better to set the temperature at 27°C. 2. Temperature difference: Normally, the temperature inside the car should be about 5°C to 6°C different from the outside temperature. Therefore, when adjusting the temperature, it's best to refer to the outdoor temperature.

What does Start-Stop mean?

Start-Stop system, translated as Start-Stop system in English, is when the vehicle is in a stopped state (not in park), the engine will pause operation (instead of maintaining traditional idle speed). During this pause, the lubricating oil inside the engine continues to circulate, keeping the engine internally lubricated. When the brake pedal is released, the engine will restart. Since the lubricating oil has been continuously circulating, frequent stops and starts will not cause wear to the internal parts of the engine. Below is related information: 1. The main function of the engine: The main function of the engine is to increase pressure and improve intake volume to achieve high power output, making the car more powerful. Engines can be categorized by their intake system operation into naturally aspirated and turbocharged types; by cylinder arrangement into inline engines, V-type engines, W-type engines, and horizontally opposed engines. 2. STT: Short for STOP & START. The STT intelligent fuel-saving system is a system that controls engine start and stop. This system uses a computer to determine the vehicle's state, such as when the vehicle is stopped at a red light or in traffic congestion. The computer can control the engine to automatically stop running, and during this stop phase, it does not affect the use of in-car equipment like air conditioning or audio systems.
