To use the electronic parking brake in an automatic transmission vehicle: 1. With the vehicle stationary and the brake pedal depressed, pull the electronic parking brake button upward to engage the parking brake; 2. With the vehicle stationary and the brake pedal depressed, press the electronic parking brake button downward to release the parking brake; 3. Shift the gear lever to D (Drive) and press the accelerator pedal, the electronic parking brake will automatically disengage. The electronic parking brake is a technology that electronically controls the parking brake. Its working principle is: achieving parking brake control through the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads, with the control method changing from the traditional mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button.

Using an automatic transmission's electronic parking brake is quite straightforward. When parking, first ensure the vehicle comes to a complete stop—never engage it while the car is still rolling. Then simply press the electronic button located on the center console or near the armrest to lock the rear wheels and prevent rolling. Before driving off, you must press the brake pedal, shift into D gear, and gently press the accelerator. The system will detect your intention and automatically release the parking brake. This auto-release feature is standard in modern cars, making it especially suitable for beginners or city traffic conditions. If you forget to release it, the car will either alert you or create resistance—don't force it forward. From my own experience, avoid pressing the button while driving to prevent accidental braking, and keep the electronic system dry to avoid malfunctions. The overall design is very user-friendly, eliminating the effort needed for traditional handbrake levers, especially when parking on slopes—it's super reassuring. Just remember to have the electronic components checked during regular maintenance.

What Causes Engine Idle Shaking?

The causes of engine idle shaking: 1. It may be due to unstable engine operation. Check whether the cylinder pressure, ignition spark energy, throttle position sensor, idle air control valve, and engine mounts are normal. 2. It could also be related to intake issues. Shaking may result from engine knocking, and piston carbon buildup can also cause this phenomenon. Check for trouble codes first. If no trouble codes are present, inspect the exhaust system. During engine startup, the starter motor should not produce a screeching sound, and the idle speed should stabilize around 850 rpm (refer to the vehicle manual for specific stable idle values). Gently press the accelerator to gradually increase engine speed—there should be no abnormal noises during this process. Some vehicle models may exhibit resonance at specific fixed RPMs, causing the entire body to shake. If the resonance is very mild and does not cause discomfort, it is considered normal. The resonance will disappear once the engine speed exceeds that specific RPM.

The Difference Between Monocoque Body and Body-on-Frame Structure

The difference between monocoque body and body-on-frame structure: 1. Different advantages: The monocoque body is lightweight, low in height, and easy to assemble; the body-on-frame structure has an independent frame, higher chassis strength, better anti-jolting performance, and better stability and safety. 2. Different disadvantages: The monocoque body has weaker torsional rigidity and load-bearing capacity; the body-on-frame structure is heavy, costly, has a high center of gravity, and poor handling. 3. Different frames: The monocoque body does not have a rigid frame, only reinforcing parts such as the front, side panels, rear, and floor; the body-on-frame structure has a rigid frame, with components such as the engine, part of the transmission system, and the body mounted on the frame via suspension devices.

How long is the Cadillac CT5?

The Cadillac CT5 has a length of 4924mm, a width of 1883mm, and a height of 1459mm, with a wheelbase of 2947mm. It features a fastback design, giving the overall styling a distinctive and fashionable appearance. Additionally, the long hood and short rear design enhance its sporty appeal.

The vehicle's taut, sculpted character lines, the integrated star-shaped door handles, and the first-time use of a new key design further enhance its premium look.

How to Apply Throttle During Hill Start?

Method for applying throttle during hill start: 1. After positioning the vehicle at the starting point on the slope, press the clutch with your left foot, press the brake with your right foot, engage the handbrake, and turn on the left turn signal; 2. Lift your left foot gradually, raising the clutch pedal to about one-third of its height, using your heel as a pivot point to prevent the clutch from sliding toward the center of your foot, which helps avoid stalling; 3. Continue releasing the clutch until the vehicle body slightly vibrates, then keep your left foot steady. Press the throttle at a 45-degree angle with your right foot, ensuring the engine speed does not exceed 2000 RPM and remains between 1000 and 1500 RPM; 4. Release the clutch slightly further, then disengage the handbrake, allowing the vehicle to start smoothly.

How Long Can a New Car Battery Sit Unused?

New car batteries can sit unused for up to three months. For vehicles parked for extended periods exceeding three months, the onboard battery will be in a depleted state, making the car unable to start. In such cases, the battery must be recharged first. After starting, it's essential to visit a professional maintenance station for a comprehensive vehicle inspection and a full maintenance service. Typically, even if a new car sits unused for just half a month, the battery still retains some charge but experiences voltage drop, making starting more difficult. If the vehicle remains parked for over three months, the battery will be almost completely discharged. Since prolonged inactivity leads to battery depletion, owners should periodically recharge the battery. It's recommended to start the vehicle and let it run for over an hour every week or ten days, ensuring sufficient runtime to prevent discharge from outpacing recharge.
