ESP light on indicates deactivation. Its working principle is: based on sensor signals to determine driving conditions, the control unit performs precise calculations for optimal control. When situations like spinning, understeer, or oversteer occur, it individually controls each wheel to enhance vehicle stability. ESP includes Brake Force Distribution System, Anti-lock Braking System, Traction Control System, and Vehicle Dynamic Control System. The functions of ESP are: 1. Precisely controlling the braking process of one or multiple wheels, distributing braking force applied to each wheel; 2. Automatically adjusting engine output torque to control vehicle speed; 3. Forcing the vehicle to generate a rotational torque around its center of mass, assisting the driver in adjusting driving direction.

Can Brake Fluid and Hydraulic Oil Be Used Interchangeably?

Brake fluid and hydraulic oil cannot be used interchangeably. Below are the specific differences between brake fluid and hydraulic oil: 1. Different functions: Hydraulic oil plays roles in the hydraulic system such as energy transmission, wear resistance, system lubrication, corrosion prevention, rust prevention, and cooling. Brake fluid ensures that the vehicle can effectively and reliably maintain flexible braking under various operating conditions, including severe winter and summer temperatures, high speeds, heavy loads, high power, and frequent braking. 2. Different compositions: Brake fluid can be castor oil-alcohol type, made from refined castor oil plus ethanol or butanol; synthetic oil type, composed of ethers, alcohols, esters, and additives; or mineral oil type, made from refined diesel distillates plus thickeners and antioxidant additives. The appropriate type should be selected based on specific driving conditions. Hydraulic oil mainly consists of plant-based base oils and synthetic esters.

What Causes the Motorcycle Dashboard Needle to Stop Moving?

The reasons why the motorcycle dashboard needle does not move are as follows: 1. Overall dashboard failure: If all four needles on the dashboard are not moving, it indicates an overall dashboard malfunction, ruling out the possibility of a sensor-related issue. 2. Battery problem: Use a multimeter to check if the motorcycle battery is functioning properly, or observe the brightness of the headlights and the sound of the horn. 3. Dashboard fuse issue: Inspect whether the dashboard fuse is blown or if power is being drawn from the fuse. The fuse box usually has specific diagrams and spare fuses for replacement. 4. Wiring problem: Check if the dashboard wiring is loose or short-circuited, especially in modified models where wiring design might be problematic. 5. System malfunction: It could also be caused by system fault codes, which can be resolved by using a decoder to clear the codes.

How long does it take to fully charge a car battery while driving?

The car battery can be fully charged in about 20 minutes of driving when the battery is in good condition. The battery is an important component of a car. When the engine is not started, the battery supplies power to all the electrical equipment in the car, and it is also responsible for starting the engine. Once the engine is started, the alternator takes over to power all the electrical equipment and also charges the battery. The battery is a wearable part that needs to be replaced regularly. Over time, its ability to hold a charge decreases, which can affect the normal operation of the car. Generally, a car battery can last about 4 years, but many car batteries fail before reaching that lifespan due to incorrect usage habits of the owner.

Can the Total Trailer Mass on the Vehicle License Be Increased?

No, it cannot be increased as it violates regulations. Here is the relevant information: 1. Motor Vehicle License: The motor vehicle license is the legal document that permits a motor vehicle to drive on roads within China. The license consists of three parts: the license holder, the main page, and the supplementary page. The front of the main page contains the stamped certificate core, while the back features a photo of the vehicle, sealed in plastic. The supplementary page is the stamped certificate core. 2. Total Mass on the License: This refers to the vehicle's curb weight + approved load capacity + approved passenger capacity (number of passengers in the cabin × standard weight of 65kg per person). Curb Weight: The vehicle's own weight. Approved Load Capacity: The standard mass of cargo the vehicle is designed to carry. For a tractor, the approved total trailer mass refers to the total mass that a semi-trailer can tow.

What to Do When Hitting the Corner While Backing into a Parking Space?

When backing into a parking space, frequently hitting the corner is mainly due to not mastering the timing of steering wheel operation. The specific aspects are as follows: 1. Steering too early when backing into a parking space will cause the wheels to be too close to the corner during right-side parking. (1) Align the shoulder line with the right-side marker and turn the steering wheel back one full turn. When the rear of the car passes the right corner and the curve begins to widen while gradually moving left, turn the steering wheel fully to the right again. Once the car is straight, return the steering wheel to the center by turning it back one and a half turns. (2) If the right side of the car is about to hit the right corner, straighten the steering wheel, drive backward a short distance, and once the rear of the car enters the parking space, turn the steering wheel fully to the right again. Once the car is straight, return the steering wheel to the center by turning it back one and a half turns. (3) When the right side of the car is 30 cm away from the top right corner (approximately two fingers width in the mirror), turn the steering wheel half a turn to the left. Once the rear of the car passes the top corner and enters the parking space without any change in the curve, check the left mirror and return the steering wheel one full turn when the car is straight, then back into the parking space. 2. Another situation is turning the steering wheel too late. The fewer adjustments and steering wheel turns needed when backing into a parking space, the better. It’s best to prepare before entering the parking space. The key is to learn how to judge the 30 cm distance between the car body and the corner, which requires practice and experience.
