Emergency braking is performed with the footbrake, and it is essential to maintain control of the steering wheel. Never use the handbrake during emergency braking, as it can cause the car to lose control. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Emergency braking refers to decelerating using the service brake, which generally means the footbrake. The handbrake is for parking and is not part of emergency braking operations. 2. The car braking system, or automotive brake system, is a specialized mechanism installed in vehicles to ensure safe driving technically, improve average speed, etc. Additional information: The functions of the car braking system are: to force a moving car to decelerate or even stop as required by the driver; to keep a parked car stable under various road conditions (including on slopes); and to maintain a stable speed for a car moving downhill.

How much fuel is consumed when idling with the heater on for one hour?

When idling with the heater on for one hour, the car consumes approximately 4 liters of gasoline. Extended relevant information is as follows: 1. Idling with the air conditioner on is related to engine displacement. Generally, the larger the displacement, the higher the fuel consumption. 2. The engine's rotation mainly maintains the operation of the air conditioning compressor, water pump, oil pump, flywheel, etc. If the clutch is engaged at this time (without pressing the clutch pedal), the engine also needs to drive the gears of the transmission input shaft and other components. Therefore, engine idling consumes a significant amount of fuel. 3. When driving on the highway, try to avoid opening the windows too much, as when driving at speeds exceeding 80 km/h, most of the car's fuel consumption is used to overcome wind resistance. Opening the windows wide increases wind resistance, and using the air conditioner is actually more fuel-efficient than opening the windows wide.
