Correct steps for using the exhaust brake: 1. Activate the right-hand lever on the steering wheel combination switch by pulling it backward; 2. Turn on the exhaust brake switch, and the corresponding indicator light will illuminate. The exhaust brake is an auxiliary braking device designed to reduce or maintain vehicle speed without relying on or minimizing the use of the service brake, though it cannot bring the vehicle to an emergency stop. Precautions for using the exhaust brake: 1. Avoid using the exhaust brake on icy or slippery roads, as it may cause wheel slip or skidding; 2. The exhaust brake is an auxiliary braking system and cannot replace the service brake for emergency braking or be used as a parking brake, but it can be used simultaneously with the service brake; 3. When using the exhaust brake on long downhill slopes, select an appropriate gear to keep the engine speed between 1600 to 2400 rpm.

What part of the car is the hood?

The hood is located at the front of the car. The car engine is the motor, and its position varies depending on the vehicle layout. For example, in cars with rear-mounted or mid-rear engines, the hood is located at the rear of the car. The hood is a body cover panel and is not considered a structural component. Car cover panels include the hood, doors, front and rear bumpers, front fenders, and trunk lid. After removing all the cover panels, what remains is the car's frame. The hood is made of rubber foam and aluminum foil materials, which not only reduce engine noise but also isolate the heat generated during engine operation, effectively protecting the paint on the hood surface and preventing aging.
