For the electronic parking brake, pushing down turns it off, while pulling up activates it. The usage method of the electronic parking brake is as follows: 1. To engage the electronic parking brake, step on the brake pedal and pull up the electronic parking brake switch until the indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, and the switch's indicator light also turns on; 2. To disengage the electronic parking brake, press the electronic parking brake switch while keeping the brake pedal depressed, and the indicator lights on the dashboard and the switch will turn off. The structural principle of the electronic parking brake involves the application of electronic parking brake technology in automobiles, specifically the caliper-integrated electronic parking brake system. This system replaces traditional parking brake levers, mechanical linkages, and cables with electronic buttons and motor components. When parking, after the driver operates the electronic parking brake system's button, the electronic control unit commands the motors integrated into the left and right brake calipers to act, driving the brake caliper pistons to move and generate mechanical clamping force, thereby completing the parking process.

What Are the Standards for Luxury Cars?

Here are the relevant standards for luxury cars: 1. Sufficient body size: The wheelbase must be at least 2.5 meters, and the total vehicle length should exceed 4.5 meters, with a width of at least 1.7 meters. 2. Equipped with a powerful engine: Luxury cars typically use a 6-cylinder engine, but for a nearly 2-ton behemoth to move swiftly, an 8-cylinder or larger engine is required, with an engine power of at least 110 kW. 3. Comprehensive safety features: Luxury cars have higher requirements for safety features, not only including anti-lock braking systems (ABS), traction control systems, and airbags as passive safety features but also designing appropriate crash buffer zones. Every detail inside the car must prioritize safety, using laminated safety glass or bulletproof glass; doors must ensure sufficient strength in collisions and must be easily opened after an accident. 4. Complete interior equipment: Generally, this should include automatic windows, double-layer insulated sunroofs, XX door locks with anti-theft functions, genuine leather interiors, as well as electric seats with automatic adjustment and memory functions, steering wheel and rearview mirrors, along with TV, car phone, navigation systems, and high-fidelity digital audio.

Why is there an odor when the car air conditioner is cooling?

An odor when the car air conditioner is cooling may be due to mold in the evaporator box and ventilation ducts. Air entering the car is cooled or heated by the evaporator box and then blown out through the vents as warm or cold air. During use, bacteria and dust inevitably enter the evaporator box and ventilation ducts. Over time, an odor will appear when the air conditioner is in use. Additional relevant information is as follows: 1. Odor from the air conditioner vents: The best solution for odor from the air conditioner vents is to choose an open, sunny environment, open the car doors, set the external circulation to maximum (without turning on the air conditioner), or blow warm air for 5-6 minutes to expel the odor. 2. Odor from the air filter: The air filter should generally be replaced once a year, but if the air conditioner is used frequently or the external environment is extremely poor, replacing it every three months is also feasible. A dirty air filter can be simply blown out, but avoid cleaning it multiple times, as the filtering effect of the air filter will significantly decrease.

Should Braking Be Advanced or Delayed When Going Downhill?

When parking a motor vehicle on a downhill slope, the service brake should be applied earlier than on a level road. The automotive braking system refers to the specialized braking mechanism installed in vehicles to technically ensure safe driving and improve the average speed of the vehicle. Generally, the automotive braking system includes two independent sets of devices: the service braking device and the parking braking device. The service braking device is operated by the driver's foot, hence it is also called the foot brake. The parking braking device is operated by the driver's hand, hence it is also called the hand brake. When parking on an uphill slope, braking should be delayed compared to on a level road. This is because when driving uphill, the vehicle speed naturally decreases due to slope resistance, resulting in a shorter braking distance than usual. Therefore, braking should be delayed compared to on a level road. During driving, the service brake (foot brake) is commonly used to decelerate and stop while moving forward. Once the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the parking brake (hand brake) should be applied to prevent the vehicle from sliding forward or rolling backward.

Will speeding captured by mobile speed cameras on highways result in penalty points?

If a mobile speed camera on a highway captures you exceeding the speed limit by 30%, you will receive 12 penalty points; if this occurs on a regular road, you will receive 6 penalty points. Driving a medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicle, school bus, or hazardous material transport vehicle on a highway or urban expressway at a speed exceeding 20% of the limit, or exceeding the speed limit by 50% or more on roads other than highways or urban expressways, as well as driving any other motor vehicle at a speed exceeding 50% of the limit, will result in 12 penalty points. Introduction to penalties for speeding captured by average speed cameras on highways: 1. According to regulations, exceeding the speed limit by less than 10% results in a warning without penalty points or fines; 2. Exceeding the speed limit by 10% to 20% results in 3 penalty points and a fine; 3. Exceeding the speed limit by 20% to 50% results in 6 penalty points and a fine; 4. Exceeding the speed limit by 50% or more results in 12 penalty points, a fine, temporary suspension of the driver's license, and mandatory training.

What to Do When the High Exhaust Temperature Indicator Light Is On?

When the high exhaust temperature light or DPF indicator light remains on during normal vehicle operation, it indicates that the engine is undergoing active regeneration by actively increasing the exhaust temperature to meet regeneration conditions, and does not signify an engine fault. At this time, simply ensure the vehicle is kept away from flammable areas and continue driving with increased load. If the DPF light remains on after driving with increased load for a certain distance, promptly perform a parked regeneration operation to prevent further DPF clogging. Below are relevant details: 1. When the DPF indicator light on the dashboard flashes, perform a parked regeneration operation as required as soon as possible. If driving continues, DPF clogging will worsen, and the DPF indicator light will flash while the yellow warning light illuminates, leading to engine torque and speed limitations. 2. If the parked regeneration operation is still not performed and the DPF becomes completely clogged (with the MIL indicator light and red shutdown indicator light remaining on), parked regeneration can no longer be executed. The engine will shut down after 30 seconds. This situation is not caused by quality issues, and the only solution is to contact a service station for DPF cleaning or replacement.
