The correct way to use the handbrake is to pull it up. The specific methods are as follows: 1. Traditional type: Most car owners use this traditional mechanical handbrake. Its position is usually located where the driver's right hand naturally rests, making it easy to operate. 2. Foot pedal type: The foot pedal type is commonly referred to as the 'foot brake.' Although called a foot brake, it is essentially a type of 'handbrake.' Foot brakes are more commonly found in B-segment cars, and their principle is no different from traditional handbrakes, except that they are controlled by a foot pedal. 3. Electronic type: Electronic handbrakes are generally equipped in mid-to-high-end cars, where a small button can activate and deactivate the handbrake function. The biggest advantages of electronic handbrakes are their aesthetic appeal, convenience, and space-saving design.

What lights should be used when meeting on a narrow bridge at night?

When passing through a narrow bridge at night, it is best to alternate between high and low beam lights. According to Articles 48, 51, and 58 of the "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," when meeting another vehicle at night, switch to low beam lights when the oncoming vehicle is more than 150 meters away. When a motor vehicle passes through an intersection controlled by traffic lights at night, use low beam lights when turning. When a following vehicle is driving close to the vehicle in front in the same direction, use low beam lights. Drive with low beam lights on well-lit roads. When a motor vehicle passes through sharp curves, slopes, arched bridges, crosswalks, or intersections without traffic light control at night, alternate between high and low beam lights to signal. When driving in conditions of low visibility such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, turn on the headlights, position lights, and rear lights. When driving in foggy conditions, turn on the fog lights and hazard warning flashers. Under normal nighttime weather conditions, do not turn on the fog lights, as they can be very glaring to oncoming drivers. When driving in foggy conditions, do not use high beam lights, as the upward-angled light axis causes the light to scatter diffusely in the fog, creating a blinding white haze in front of the vehicle and reducing visibility.

What does the vehicle inspection validity period mean?

It means the vehicle must undergo its annual inspection within the specified year and month. Validity period overview: The validity period indicated on the supplementary page of the "Motor Vehicle Driving License" refers to the year and month by which the vehicle must undergo its annual inspection. After the inspection, the "Motor Vehicle Driving License" does not need to be replaced; instead, the next inspection date will be reprinted on it. When there is no more space to print new dates on the "Motor Vehicle Driving License," it must be replaced. Notes on new regulations: Even if the driving license states an inspection validity period, the actual annual inspection should be conducted according to the current policies, not necessarily the date printed on the driving license.

What Causes Squealing Sounds When Braking?

Reasons for squealing sounds when braking: 1. Worn brake pads are one of the causes of friction noise during braking. If the brake pads have been used for a long time, the backing plate gradually loses its material, causing metal-to-metal contact and producing harsh noises; 2. Friction noise caused by damaged brake shims. Worn shims come into contact with the braking system, and when metal meets metal, it generates sharp sounds from the braking system. Car brake pads, also known as brake linings, refer to the friction materials fixed on the rotating brake drum or brake disc of the wheel. The friction linings and blocks bear external pressure to create friction, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicle deceleration.
