I've been driving a Corolla for over a year now, and the electronic parking brake works quite smoothly. When parking, wait until the car comes to a complete stop, then press the button on the center console marked with a 'P'. A red light on the dashboard will illuminate indicating the brake is engaged. Before driving, remember to fasten your seatbelt first, then firmly press the brake pedal before pressing the button again to release the parking brake. For automatic transmission models, it will automatically disengage when you press the accelerator to move forward, which is particularly handy for preventing rollback on slopes. With frequent stop-and-go city driving, you don't need to worry about wear issues common with traditional handbrakes. The button might respond slightly slower in cold or rainy weather, but you'll get used to it—just avoid applying excessive force to prevent damage. Overall, this feature significantly enhances driving convenience and is very beginner-friendly.

Why is there abnormal noise when stepping on the brake of a new car?

The causes and solutions for abnormal noise when stepping on the brake are as follows: 1. Deformation of the brake disc or rust on the surface of the brake disc. Solution: Grind and repair the brake disc. 2. The car is new or the brake pads have just been replaced. Solution: Polish the hardened layer. 3. The brake pads are worn out, and the limit plate directly rubs against the brake disc. Solution: Regularly check the brake pads. Once it is found that the brake pads are only 1/3 of the original width or less than 0.5em, the brake pads need to be replaced in time. 4. The brake shield is loose. Solution: Drive the vehicle to the nearest 4S store or repair shop for reassembly.

Does the Jetta Not Have an Anti-Collision Beam?

Jetta does not have an anti-collision steel beam. Here is some relevant information about anti-collision beams: 1. An anti-collision beam is a device used to absorb collision energy when a vehicle is impacted, consisting of a main beam, an energy-absorbing box, and mounting plates that connect to the vehicle. 2. The anti-collision steel beam is a U-shaped channel made from cold-rolled steel plates, connected to the vehicle's frame longitudinal beams. It serves as an important safety device that absorbs and mitigates external impacts, protecting the front and rear of the vehicle body. 3. The primary function of an anti-collision beam is to reduce repair costs during low to medium-speed collisions and, to some extent, minimize injuries to the vehicle's occupants.

What are the symptoms of a clogged catalytic converter?

The symptoms of a clogged catalytic converter include: 1. Frequent forced downshifting in automatic transmission vehicles; 2. Weak vehicle acceleration with difficulty increasing engine RPM and speed; 3. Slight backfiring during sudden engine acceleration; 4. Abnormal noises from the exhaust system during rapid acceleration or sudden throttle release. The catalytic converter is an external purification device installed in a vehicle's exhaust system, which converts harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides in vehicle emissions into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction reactions. The core component of the catalytic converter is a porous ceramic material housed within a specially designed exhaust pipe.

What is the torque specification for a car's drain plug?

The torque for a drain plug with a 14mm thread diameter is approximately 35 to 37 Newton meters. Oil filters vary, but their torque is generally very low, around 12 to 17 Newton meters. Both have a wide tolerance range, and even slightly below this range, they won't leak. Here's some information about drain plugs: 1. Usage cycle: The drain plug itself doesn't need replacement, but its washer should be replaced every time because the washer serves as a seal. When tightening the plug, the washer deforms to fill gaps. A used washer, having already deformed during previous installation, can't compress effectively again, failing to provide a seal. Therefore, it's advisable to replace the washer with every oil change. 2. Function: The drain plug is a screw located at the bottom of the engine oil pan. When performing an oil change during engine maintenance, this screw is removed to drain the old oil, and after tightening it back, new oil is added through the engine's fill port.
