Replacing the rear bumper beam is not considered a major repair. Major automotive repairs are generally categorized into three types: 1. Engine overhaul, which involves replacing major internal components of the engine; 2. Transmission overhaul, involving the replacement of key internal parts such as gears, gear oil pumps, bearings, seals, and locking pins; 3. Frame overhaul, which is necessary only when the frame is damaged in a collision or breaks due to aging. This typically requires placing the vehicle on a frame straightening bench for correction. A major automotive repair refers to the comprehensive or near-comprehensive restoration of a vehicle's technical performance, either new or previously overhauled, after it has been driven a certain mileage or period of time. This involves diagnostic testing, technical evaluation, and the repair or replacement of automotive components.

What does EBA mean on a car?

EBA on a car stands for Emergency Brake Assist system. During emergency braking, the sensor on the brake pedal detects the action and sends a signal to the vehicle's computer, which then rapidly generates braking force to shorten the braking distance. EBA can sense the driver's demand on the brake pedal and is designed for situations where the driver cannot press the brake pedal quickly enough in emergencies. When the sensor detects braking action from the pedal, it determines the driver's intention for that particular brake application. Under normal braking conditions, EBA will not intervene after assessment. However, when EBA detects that the driver is pressing the brake pedal rapidly and forcefully, the computer analyzes and determines if it's an unexpected emergency. It then reacts and calculates the emergency level extremely quickly, automatically providing greater pressure to the pedal to enhance braking effectiveness.

What is each gear of a manual transmission and how to use it?

Manual transmission's first gear is the starting gear; second gear is the passing gear; third gear is the transition gear; fourth gear is the driving gear; fifth gear is the high-speed gear. Usually, when starting the car, you need to engage first gear, but this gear is not suitable for continuous high-speed operation. Once the car has momentum, shift to second gear, which is the passing gear suitable for various complex road conditions, such as areas with heavy pedestrian traffic or bumpy sections. Third gear is a transition gear, mainly used for low-speed driving in urban areas. Once traffic conditions improve and acceleration is needed, you can transition to fourth gear. If deceleration is required, shift back to second gear. Fourth gear is the driving gear, used for prolonged high-speed driving. Fifth gear is used for long-distance driving on highways.
