Electronic parking brake is activated by pulling up, and pushing down turns it off. The electronic parking brake is a technology that uses electronic control to achieve parking braking. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both achieving parking braking control through the friction generated between the brake disc and the brake pads. The only difference is that the control method has changed from the previous mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. The electronic parking brake has evolved from the basic parking function to include the automatic parking function AUTOHOLD. The application of AUTOHOLD automatic parking technology allows drivers to avoid prolonged braking when the vehicle stops. With the automatic electronic parking brake activated, unnecessary vehicle sliding can be prevented.

How to Open the Engine Oil Cap?

Methods to open the engine oil cap: 1. Generally, slowly unscrew the oil filler cap counterclockwise or clockwise by 90 or 180 degrees; 2. When reinstalling the oil filler cap, lubricate the cap opening with oil from the dipstick, then smoothly tighten it in the correct direction until it is properly seated. If the oil contains excessive water, there are two possible causes: 1. The oil is substandard; 2. There is a mutual leak between the cooling water system and the oil system (e.g., a dislodged bowl-shaped plug sealing the water-oil system, missing or improperly installed sealing rings/gaskets causing poor sealing and mutual leakage); 3. Poor cleanliness at the overhaul site or improper handling by the operator, leading to water entering the oil system. A large amount of water in the oil system can cause oil emulsification, resulting in oil deterioration, rusting of internal engine components, accelerated wear of high-speed moving parts, and severely impacting the engine's lifespan.

What are the dashboard indicator lights in a car?

There are several types of dashboard indicator lights in a car: 1. Parking Brake Indicator: This light turns on when the parking brake lever (handbrake) is pulled up. It automatically turns off when the handbrake is released. In some car models, this light may also illuminate when the brake fluid is low. 2. Battery Indicator: This light shows the working status of the battery. It lights up when the ignition is turned on and turns off after the engine starts. If it doesn't light up or stays on continuously, the alternator and circuit should be checked immediately. 3. Brake Pad Indicator: This light indicates the wear condition of the brake pads. Normally, it is off. When it lights up, it alerts the driver to replace the faulty or excessively worn brake pads. The light turns off after the issue is resolved. 4. Oil Pressure Indicator: This light shows the engine oil pressure. When it lights up, it means the lubrication system has lost pressure, possibly due to a leak. The engine should be stopped immediately for inspection. 5. Coolant Temperature Indicator: This light warns of excessive engine coolant temperature. When it lights up, the driver should stop the car and turn off the engine, waiting until the temperature returns to normal before continuing to drive. 6. Airbag Indicator: This light shows the working status of the airbag system. It lights up when the ignition is turned on and turns off after about 3-4 seconds, indicating the system is functioning normally. If it doesn't light up or stays on, it means there is a fault in the system. 7. ABS Indicator: This light turns on when the ignition is switched on and turns off after about 3-4 seconds, indicating the system is normal. If it doesn't light up or stays on, it indicates a system fault. The car can still be driven at low speed, but sudden braking should be avoided. 8. Engine Check Light: This light indicates the working status of the engine. It lights up when the ignition is turned on and turns off after about 3-4 seconds if the engine is functioning normally. If it doesn't light up or stays on, it means there is an engine fault that requires immediate inspection and repair.

What causes the steering wheel to shake when braking at 100 mph?

Here are the specific reasons for steering wheel vibration when braking at 100 mph: 1. Wheel balance issue. A car's wheel is composed of a tire and a rim. When there is a problem with the wheel balance, it means the wheel is not in a balanced state during high-speed driving. If the balance data is incorrect, the wheel's rotation center will shift, causing the wheel to shake, which in turn affects the steering wheel. 2. Rim problem. If the car's rim has been impacted during previous driving, causing it to deform. Due to the deformation of the rim, the wheel may shake during driving, leading to steering wheel vibration. 3. Chassis component issue. This usually occurs in cars that have been poorly repaired after an accident. Due to the impact during the accident affecting the chassis components, steering wheel vibration may also occur.

What does it mean when the engine light comes on?

When the engine light comes on, it indicates that there is a fault in the engine that needs to be checked. The possible causes include: 1. Faulty oxygen sensor; 2. Damaged air flow sensor; 3. Carbon deposits inside the cylinders; 4. Poor-quality gasoline that does not meet standards; 5. Engine misfire. The methods to address the engine light issue are: 1. Clean the engine; 2. Use higher-grade gasoline; 3. Improve fuel quality. The impacts of the engine light coming on include: 1. Deterioration of vehicle exhaust quality and environmental pollution; 2. Increased combustion chamber temperature and accelerated wear leading to premature engine damage; 3. Engine oil consumption; 4. Increased engine noise, affecting driving and passenger comfort.

What is Comprehensive Vehicle Insurance?

Comprehensive vehicle insurance generally includes compulsory traffic insurance and four main commercial insurances: third-party liability insurance, vehicle damage insurance, passenger liability insurance, and theft insurance.

Among vehicle insurances, compulsory traffic insurance must be purchased, while commercial insurance is voluntary. The commonly used ones are vehicle damage insurance and third-party liability insurance. Car owners can choose commercial insurance according to their own situation. 2. Generally, the comprehensive insurance recognized by everyone refers to: compulsory traffic insurance + vehicle damage insurance + third-party liability insurance + no-deductible insurance + passenger liability insurance, etc. If conditions permit, additional insurances such as theft insurance, glass insurance, body scratch insurance, and spontaneous combustion insurance can also be added.
