Is the brake on the left and the accelerator on the right correct?

2 Answers

It is correct that the brake is on the left and the accelerator is on the right, whether it is a manual or automatic transmission model. The left side is the brake, and the right side is the accelerator. Many people may confuse the brake and the accelerator, which is more common in manual transmission models. Automatic transmission models do not have a clutch, only the brake and accelerator, both controlled by the right foot. As long as both feet are not used simultaneously, the possibility of confusion is relatively small. Place the heel directly below the brake pedal; when pressing the brake, it is pressed straight down. The accelerator is to the right of the brake. Without moving the heel, moving the toes to the right means pressing the accelerator at an angle. Drivers should develop the habit of placing the heel directly below the brake pedal so that they can brake at any time in case of an emergency.

In automatic transmission vehicles, the left pedal is the brake and the right pedal is the accelerator. This setup is entirely correct. It follows global standards to enhance driving safety—your right foot controls power (accelerator for speed, brake for deceleration), while the left foot remains idle to avoid missteps. I often remind friends to develop good habits, such as confirming foot placement before driving, as beginners are most prone to confusion under stress. Remember, in manual transmission cars, the left pedal is the clutch, the middle one is the brake, and the right one is the accelerator—don’t mix them up. During daily driving, avoiding fatigue or distraction is crucial; mistaking the accelerator for the brake could lead to rear-end collisions or more severe accidents. It’s advisable to regularly check pedal wear and perform routine maintenance. Safety designs are in place to protect you and other road users.

Is it necessary to press the foot brake when starting in Subject 3?

When starting in Subject 3, the foot brake is not required (except for starting on a slope). When waiting at traffic lights on flat roads, only the clutch is needed for starting. Gradually release the clutch to the semi-engagement point, wait for the car to move forward, and then slowly release the clutch completely. This can reduce the likelihood of stalling. Below is relevant information about Subject 3: 1. Introduction: Subject 3, also known as the road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviation for the road driving skills and safe civilized driving knowledge test in the motor vehicle driver's examination. 2. Test Content: The road driving skills test varies for different types of vehicles eligible for driving. It generally includes: preparation before getting on the car, starting, driving in a straight line, shifting gears, changing lanes, pulling over, driving straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, passing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night.

Where to Add Radiator Coolant?

Radiator coolant is added to the car's expansion tank. Open the engine hood and locate the expansion tank, which is usually spherical in shape. Remove the tank cap and add the appropriate amount of radiator coolant. The optimal filling level is between the MAX and MIN marks. Here are some related details: 1. Replacement Cycle of Radiator Coolant: Radiator coolant is generally replaced every two years. 2. Radiator Coolant Should Not Be Mixed with Water: Adding water can affect the performance of the radiator coolant, lowering its boiling point and reducing its cooling effectiveness. It also raises the freezing point, making it prone to freezing in cold climates. Ordinary tap water contains various impurities and ions, which can form scale over time and cause blockages. In emergency situations, adding water may be unavoidable, but it is recommended to use purified water, preferably distilled water, and not to add too much. 3. Shelf Life of Radiator Coolant: When adding radiator coolant, always check the shelf life. Typically, radiator coolant has a shelf life of about two years. Expired products should not be used. Choose high-quality coolant that matches the original color of your car or a universal type. Different brands and colors of radiator coolant have varying formulations, and mixing them can cause reactions that reduce their effectiveness.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Yidong Plus?

Yidong Plus has a fuel tank capacity of 53 liters, which is the officially announced data. Owners who have purchased the Yidong Plus can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The Yidong Plus requires 92-octane gasoline, with a fuel consumption of 5.6-5.8L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can provide a driving range of approximately 914 to 946 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. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when there are about 2 segments remaining 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 marked by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit, and there is additional space from the safety limit to the tank opening. This space is designed to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.

How many people can a sedan carry?

According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, a sedan is generally designed to seat 5 people, including the driver. If the number exceeds 5 people including the driver, it is considered overloading. 1. Based on Article 2 of the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations", if a motor vehicle driver commits any of the following violations, 6 points will be deducted: driving a commercial passenger vehicle (excluding buses) or school bus with passengers exceeding the approved capacity by less than 20%, or driving other passenger vehicles with passengers exceeding the approved capacity by more than 20%. 2. The following regulations shall be observed for motor vehicle passenger transportation: a. Road passenger vehicles shall not exceed the approved passenger capacity, except for children exempted from tickets as per regulations. When the passenger capacity is full, the number of exempted children shall not exceed 10% of the approved capacity; b. The cargo compartment of a truck shall not carry passengers. On urban roads, cargo motor vehicles may carry 1 to 5 temporary workers in the compartment if safety conditions are met; when the cargo height exceeds the compartment barrier, no person shall ride on the cargo; c. Children under 12 years old are not allowed to ride on the back seat of a motorcycle, and light motorcycles shall not carry passengers.

Where Does the Refrigerant Leak in a Car Air Conditioner Usually Occur?

Refrigerant leaks in car air conditioners typically occur at the joints of the air conditioning pipes, the expansion valve, the compressor, the evaporator, and other components. Below are detailed explanations of the causes of refrigerant leaks in car air conditioners: 1. Pipe failure. When laying the connecting pipes between the indoor and outdoor units of the air conditioner, if the bending angle of the pipes is too small, it can cause the pipes to crack and leak refrigerant or result in no refrigerant. When laying the connecting pipes between the indoor and outdoor units, the bending radius of the pipes should be appropriately increased to prevent the pipes from being bent too sharply. Leaking pipes should be promptly repaired or replaced. 2. Leak points in the refrigeration system. When replacing parts of the refrigeration system, if the parts are not installed tightly during secondary installation, leak points for refrigerant can develop in the pipes and the refrigeration system. Apply a moderately thick soapy water solution to the entire refrigeration system pipes and welded areas to check for leaks. The testing conditions require the refrigeration system to be filled with nitrogen or refrigerant. Pay close attention to areas with oil stains on the pipes, identify the leak points one by one, and repair or replace the parts based on the actual situation.
