How to Release a Locked Brake on Wuling Hongguang?
1 Answers
To release a locked brake on a Wuling Hongguang, simply fasten your seatbelt inside the car, start the ignition, shift to D gear, and lightly press the accelerator. The handbrake will then automatically disengage. Wheel lock-up refers to the sudden locking of the wheels when braking, causing the vehicle to lose steering capability. This typically occurs in vehicles not equipped with an ABS (Anti-lock Braking System). In cars without ABS, if the brake pedal is pressed hard while driving, the wheel speed rapidly decreases. When the braking force exceeds the friction between the wheels and the ground, the wheels lock up. Fully locked wheels increase the friction between the tires and the ground, which, under significant inertia, may lead to skidding and loss of directional control. Wheel lock-up is caused by the strong braking force between the brake pads and the disc or drum. However, due to the vehicle's substantial inertia, the car continues to move forward, with the tires sliding rather than rolling, preventing the vehicle from changing direction and potentially causing accidents. Even with minimal inertia, on crowded or heavily trafficked roads, if following too closely, a sudden stop due to wheel lock-up can easily result in a rear-end collision. If the front wheels lock up before the rear wheels, the car loses its ability to steer, making it impossible to change direction. If the rear wheels lock up before the front wheels, it can cause the vehicle to skid sideways.
