Handbrake up is to pull the handbrake, down is to release the handbrake. Here are some related introductions about the handbrake: 1. Introduction to the handbrake: The parking brake, commonly known as the handbrake, functions to provide resistance to the car when parked, preventing the car from rolling. The parking brake, also known as the handbrake or the parking gear in automatic transmissions, locks the drive shaft or rear wheels. The force of the parking brake is much less than that of the service brake, just enough to prevent the car from rolling on a slope. 2. Precautions for using the handbrake: Do not pull the handbrake to the highest position, because the pull line in the handbrake system includes not only steel cables but also nylon ropes. If it is pulled to the highest position every time, the nylon rope will quickly suffer from material fatigue.

What are the correct driving techniques for automatic transmission vehicles?

Specific techniques are as follows: 1. Engage reverse gear only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop: Since automatic transmissions have hydraulic transmission mechanisms and fluid flow has certain inertia that cannot change abruptly, it is best to engage reverse gear only after the vehicle has completely stopped. Never shift into P gear before the vehicle has fully stopped. After parking, you must turn off the engine and shift into P gear before removing the key. 2. Shift into driving gear: When starting to move, only by pressing the brake pedal can the gear lever be moved out of P or N gear and into driving gear. Releasing the brake pedal allows the vehicle to move slowly. 3. Use N gear for starting: When the vehicle starts and moves forward directly without reversing, you can first turn on the power, press the brake to shift into N gear, then ignite the engine, and subsequently shift into D gear to move forward. This avoids passing through R gear after ignition in P gear, which would subject the transmission to a reverse impact. Another benefit is that if the engine stalls suddenly while driving, you can quickly shift into N gear to restart the engine safely. 4. Do not coast in N gear while driving: Because automatic transmissions require lubrication, placing the gear in N while driving prevents the oil pump from supplying oil normally for lubrication, causing internal components to overheat and leading to severe damage. Additionally, coasting in neutral at high speeds is very dangerous and does not save fuel. 5. Freely switch gears while driving: You can freely switch between forward gears while driving. Although these gears limit the highest achievable gear, as long as the gear matches the speed, you can switch freely.

What are the reasons for the Audi Q7 air conditioning not cooling?

There are many reasons that may cause the Audi Q7 air conditioning not to cool, such as: lack of refrigerant, air conditioning condenser failure, clogged air filter, water in the air conditioning pipeline, compressor failure, etc. 1. Lack of refrigerant: Air conditioning refrigerant is also called refrigerant, and the refrigerant used in cars nowadays is mostly Freon, which functions to cool. If there is no Freon, the cooling effect will decrease, or the air conditioning may not cool at all. 2. Air conditioning condenser failure: If the condenser is not cleaned for a long time, it will be covered with a lot of dust and debris, affecting its heat dissipation capability, and the air blown out by the air conditioning will not be cool. 3. Clogged air filter: The air filter is generally replaced every 20,000 kilometers. If not replaced for a long time, it will accumulate a lot of debris, causing the air filter to clog, greatly reducing the air volume and cooling effect. 4. Water in the air conditioning pipeline: If the air conditioning pipeline leaks and the internal desiccant's water absorption capacity is insufficient, excess water will flow to the throttle orifice. In the cooling state, the water will freeze, blocking the throttle orifice and greatly reducing the cooling effect. 5. Compressor failure: This component is the heart of the car's air conditioning system. Under normal circumstances, its lifespan is about 10 years, and the failure rate is relatively low. The compressor's job is to compress and transport the refrigerant, and its structure is relatively complex, making repairs more troublesome.

Under what circumstances is overtaking not allowed?

Overtaking is not allowed under the following circumstances: 1. The vehicle ahead is turning left, making a U-turn, or overtaking. 2. There is a possibility of meeting an oncoming vehicle. 3. The vehicle ahead is a police car, fire truck, ambulance, or engineering rescue vehicle performing emergency tasks. 4. Passing through railway crossings, intersections, narrow bridges, curves, steep slopes, tunnels, pedestrian crossings, or sections of urban roads with heavy traffic where overtaking conditions are not met. Below is extended information on the correct steps for overtaking: 1. Observe through the rearview mirror: Before overtaking, observe the vehicles behind and the road conditions through the rearview mirror. Choose a time when visibility is good, the road is straight, and there are no vehicles within 150 meters ahead. 2. Turn on the left turn signal: After confirming that the surrounding conditions are suitable for overtaking, turn on the left turn signal and honk the horn to indicate your intention. At night, if honking is not allowed, use alternating high beams instead. Once the vehicle ahead signals to yield, slightly turn the steering wheel to the left and maintain a certain lateral distance from the vehicle being overtaken. 3. Downshift one gear: Press the accelerator deeply to increase speed and overtake from the left side of the vehicle being overtaken, minimizing the time the two vehicles are parallel. 4. Turn on the right turn signal: After overtaking, maintain speed for a while, observe the following vehicles through the rearview mirror, and once safety is confirmed, turn on the right turn signal and return to the original lane.
