How to Use the Car's Automatic Braking System?
1 Answers
To use the automatic braking assist system, turn on the automatic braking assist system switch. Common braking misconceptions: 1. Using brakes to control distance: Coasting downhill in neutral while relying on brakes to control distance may lead to overheating and failure of the braking system over time, potentially causing accidents. 2. Slamming brakes during a tire blowout: In case of a tire blowout, do not panic. Firmly hold the steering wheel to maintain control of the car's direction, prevent loss of balance, and gradually reduce speed. For manual transmission vehicles, downshift progressively or shift to neutral, release the accelerator, and gently pump the brakes until the car comes to a slow stop. 3. Braking and transmission braking: When stopping at a red light, if the wait is around 10 seconds, you can slow down using the brakes. However, for red lights lasting more than 30 seconds, this approach is impractical. Instead, engage the handbrake and shift to neutral to avoid unnecessary strain on the brakes and transmission, which could damage components and harm the vehicle.
