Parking assistance system malfunctions require inspection and repair at an authorized car 4S dealership. Below is a detailed introduction to the functions of the parking assistance system: 1. Distance measurement: The system measures the parking position and calculates the required distance to park between two vehicles. The control unit uses position sensors installed on the front and rear bumpers to measure the distance between the parked vehicle and surrounding vehicles. 2. Signal alert: When there is sufficient space for parking, the system emits an audible signal to notify the driver, who can then activate the parking assistance system after stopping. 3. Vehicle steering control: During the operation of the parking assistance system, the driver does not need to turn the steering wheel; the automatic control system manages the entire steering process. If the driver needs to take control, simply turning the steering wheel will automatically deactivate the parking system.

When I encountered a parking assist malfunction, my first reaction was to see why the system suddenly stopped working. That day, the alarm failed while I was reversing, so I quickly got out to check the sensor area and found a lot of mud buildup on the rear bumper, blocking the sensing points. After gently wiping it clean with a damp cloth and restarting the vehicle, the problem was resolved. During regular car washes, pay attention to cleaning these areas—avoid using high-pressure water jets directly on the sensors, as they can damage delicate components. Also, the system settings menu is often accidentally touched, turning off the parking function, so check the central control screen to confirm it's enabled. If the issue persists, it might be due to a dirty camera or loose wiring, requiring a visit to the repair shop for a professional to inspect connections and error codes. Safe driving shouldn’t be taken lightly—addressing faults promptly saves hassle and money. During routine maintenance, ask about this issue more often—don’t wait for an accident to regret it.

Common parking assist failures require initial analysis. Sensor contamination is the most frequent cause; wiping the sensor area with a cloth to remove dust and mud spots often provides an immediate fix. Occasional system software glitches may occur - try turning off the engine, waiting 3-5 minutes, then restarting. Loose wiring harness connections or poor contacts can also cause errors; check and tighten connectors under the hood. For camera systems, clean the lenses to ensure clarity and prevent scratches. During daily use, avoid prolonged water accumulation after rain, as winter freeze-thaw cycles can corrode components. If a fault occurs, manually reverse with caution to avoid collisions, then visit a professional shop promptly for diagnosis using scanning tools. Develop the habit of quarterly sensor checks and software updates to extend system lifespan. Safe driving starts with attention to details - never overlook minor issues.

How to Judge the Distance Between the Right Side of the Car and Obstacles?

Methods to judge the distance between the right side of the car and obstacles: 1. Height: Mainly estimated based on the comparison of the blocked height. 2. Distance from the roadside: Determine the position of the roadside in the windshield (the left wheel is 10-15cm to the right from the left pillar of the windshield; the right wheel is 5-10cm to the left from the center line of the windshield); the distance from the roadside can be seen from the rearview mirror. 3. Right wheel position: Determine the position of the right wheel (middle of the front of the car or right wiper): relative to the ground at one-third of the right side of the front cover. 4. Three-point alignment: When the eyes, the front edge of the car hood, and the point where the obstacle touches the ground are aligned, the obstacle is approximately 1.5 to 2 meters away from the front of the car.

What does a sun exclamation mark on the dashboard mean?

On the dashboard, a sun exclamation mark is the brake pad warning light, indicating a brake pad fault, which serves as a reminder to replace the brake pads. When the front brake pads are nearing their wear limit, this warning will appear. It is recommended to check whether the brake pads need replacement. If the brake pads do not require replacement, adding some brake fluid may suffice. Before traveling, it is essential to inspect the braking system for normal operation, including the wear level of the brake pads. Additionally, ensure that the power steering fluid is sufficient. Special attention should be paid to the dust cover of the brake system's wheel cylinder. If this component is damaged and allows dust to enter, it can cause the piston to malfunction, leading to an increased braking distance when applying the brakes. If water enters this component, it can mix with the brake fluid, resulting in brake failure.

Where is the license plate 'Yi B' from?

Currently, there is no license plate with the prefix 'Yi B'. However, there is a license plate with the prefix 'Ji B', which belongs to Tangshan City, Hebei Province. 'Ji' is the abbreviation for Hebei Province. The license plate codes range from Ji A to Ji T, where Ji A is Shijiazhuang, Ji B is Tangshan, Ji C is Qinhuangdao, Ji D is Handan, Ji E is Xingtai, Ji F is Baoding, Ji G is Zhangjiakou, Ji H is Chengde, Ji J is Cangzhou, Ji O is for provincial government agencies, Ji R is Langfang, and Ji T is Hengshui. The first character of a license plate is a Chinese character representing the abbreviation of the province where the vehicle is registered. The second character is an English letter representing the code for the prefecture-level city where the vehicle is registered. The general rule is that 'A' represents the provincial capital, 'B' represents the second largest city in the province, 'C' represents the third largest city, and so on.

What is the difference between 98 and 95 octane gasoline?

Here are the specific differences between 95 octane and 98 octane gasoline: 1. Compression ratio: Vehicles with a compression ratio between 8.5-9.5 should generally use 95 octane gasoline; cars with a compression ratio greater than 9.5 should use 98 octane gasoline. 2. Octane rating: 95 octane gasoline has a lower octane rating than 98 octane gasoline. That is, 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane, while 98 octane gasoline has an octane rating of 98%. The gasoline grade represents the octane rating of the gasoline. For example, 95 octane gasoline consists of approximately 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. Since isooctane has better anti-knock properties and n-heptane has poorer anti-knock properties, a higher grade indicates a higher octane rating, meaning the gasoline has better anti-knock performance.

What is the correct foot placement while driving?

Under normal circumstances, the right foot should alternate between the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal, while the left foot remains idle. Below are driving tips for automatic transmission vehicles: 1. Starting technique: Before starting, press the brake pedal, and ensure the gear is in P (Park) or N (Neutral) position. After ignition, shift into the appropriate gear. 2. Overtaking technique: After pressing the accelerator, when the RPM rises to the gear shift range (approximately 2000-2500 RPM), slightly release the accelerator and then press it again for smoother gear shifting. 3. Low gear usage technique: When driving on slopes, frequent gear shifting can increase wear on the transmission friction plates. Therefore, select L, 1, or 2 gear based on the slope gradient to maintain the transmission in that gear. Forcing the gear to lock can effectively protect the friction plates and extend their lifespan.

Do I pay the vehicle purchase tax myself when buying a car at a 4S store?

Vehicle purchase tax can be paid either by the 4S store on your behalf or by yourself. Below is relevant information about vehicle purchase tax: 1. Single tax rate: Vehicle purchase tax is levied at a unified proportional rate, featuring stability that doesn't fluctuate with the taxable amount, making calculation simple and burden predictable, which facilitates lawful tax collection. 2. Role of vehicle purchase tax: By imposing this tax, the state participates in the redistribution of national income, effectively converting part of consumption funds into fiscal revenue to raise more funds for national functional needs. As a consumption-stage tax, it demonstrates recurring characteristics - taxation occurs whenever taxpayers purchase or use taxable vehicles, ensuring timeliness superior to income tax or commodity tax.
