Is Emergency Braking the Same as the Handbrake?

What Causes Severe Heating of the Front Wheel Hub in a Car?

Introduction to the causes of severe heating in the front wheel hub of a car: 1. Over-tightened or abnormally worn bearings: The wheel hub is located at the innermost part of the brake drum, specifically the axle head where the bearing is installed upon disassembly. Overheating of the wheel hub (axle head) is usually caused by bearings that are too tightly fitted or insufficient lubrication. Excessive heat can cause the lubricating grease inside to melt and leak, affecting braking performance, and in severe cases, it can burn out the bearings. 2. Brake drag or drum rubbing: The temperature of the brake drum is influenced by environmental temperature, driving speed, frequency of braking, vehicle weight, and road conditions. A few brake applications can raise the temperature to 100-200 degrees, and in heavy trucks going downhill, it can even exceed 300 degrees. If the brake drum is overheating, you can jack up the front wheel of the car and rotate the tire to check for any rubbing. Then, rotate the tire and apply the brakes a few times to see if the brakes return properly or get stuck.

Will points be deducted if the ramp fixed-point parking is less than 30 centimeters?

No points will be deducted for starting on a slope with less than 30 centimeters. The evaluation criteria for ramp fixed-point parking and starting are as follows: Failure to park at the designated point on the ramp results in a 100-point deduction. If the car's front bumper does not reach the control line after stopping, a 100-point deduction is applied. If the car rolls back more than 30 centimeters after parking, a 100-point deduction is applied; if it rolls back less than 30 centimeters, a 10-point deduction is applied. The point deduction standards for starting on a slope are: 1. After the car stops, if the front bumper or motorcycle front axle is not aligned with the pole line, and the deviation is within 50 centimeters, a 10-point deduction is applied (originally 20 points); 2. After the car stops, if the distance between the car body and the roadside line exceeds 30 centimeters, a 10-point deduction is applied (originally 20 points); if it exceeds 50 centimeters, the test is failed; 3. After starting, if the car rolls back between 30 and 50 centimeters, a 20-point deduction is applied; 4. After starting, if the car rolls back more than 50 centimeters, the test is failed; 5. Stalling on the slope results in a 20-point deduction; 6. If the car is not started within 30 seconds after stopping, it is considered a timeout and the test is failed.

How Long Can a Vehicle Run Without Enough Engine Oil?

Within fifty kilometers, it can normally be driven to a 4S shop. The chain-driven engine uses guide rails to direct the toothed chain, and a lack of engine oil can cause mechanical damage to the engine. The guide rails are tensioned by hydraulic cylinders driven by pressure oil, and the pressure is proportional to the engine speed. When the oil is excessively consumed and not replenished in time, insufficient oil pressure and inadequate tension during high-speed driving can cause the toothed chain to jump, leading to incorrect timing. In mild cases, this results in insufficient power and high fuel consumption; in severe cases, it can cause the piston to hit the valve, causing mechanical damage to related connecting parts. There are three situations when the oil pressure alarm occurs: 1. Alarm when starting the engine: The alarm sounds when starting the engine but disappears quickly after normal startup. 2. High-temperature alarm: The alarm sounds during normal or high-speed operation, not when starting. 3. Continuous alarm: The oil pressure alarm is not only related to the quality of the lubricating oil but also closely related to the engine's own condition. The car's age, mileage, clearance size, oil pump, and auxiliary system working conditions should all be checked, analyzed, and judged without exception.

What does the car symbol with an 'a' in a circle mean?

The icon of a car with an 'a' in a circle represents the Auto Hold function. Below is a related introduction to the Auto Hold function: 1. Prevents rolling: When encountering situations like a red light that require a short stop during driving, the system will automatically brake the wheels after the vehicle comes to a stop to prevent rolling. This eliminates the need for the driver to constantly think about pulling the handbrake. When the light turns green, simply press the accelerator to start, and the system will automatically release the wheels. 2. Automatic forward movement: The function is similar to the previous point. When starting the car, the system will automatically brake to prevent rolling backward. Once the forward traction reaches a level sufficient to move uphill, the system will automatically release the wheels and allow the car to move forward. 3. No need to pull the handbrake when parking and locking: The system will automatically brake the wheels at this time. However, the third function is not available in some car models, and manual handbrake operation is still required when parking.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the 10th-generation Accord 260?

The fuel tank capacity of the 10th-generation Accord 260 is 56 liters, as officially announced. Owners of the 10th-generation Accord 260 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The 10th-generation Accord 260 uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6L to 6.5L per 100 kilometers. A full tank of fuel can cover a distance of 861 to 933 kilometers. During daily driving, it is important to always monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically done by observing the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is recommended to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.

What Should the Tire Pressure of a Sedan Be?

The normal tire pressure for small cars is generally around 2.3-2.5 bar. This is a recommended value. In actual use, the tire pressure should be determined based on the season and usage environment. Car owners can refer to the vehicle's user manual and the label next to the door, which will detail the manufacturer's recommended value. The tire pressure can be flexibly adjusted according to seasonal temperature changes. When driving in summer, the tire pressure can be appropriately reduced, while in winter, when temperatures are lower, it can be slightly increased. However, when adjusting the tire pressure, it is essential to keep it within the recommended range. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the tire pressure for different types of tires is as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5 bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9 bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5 bar. Tire pressure reset method: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep" sound before releasing it. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, indicating that the tire pressure reset is complete.
