The left side of the car is the brake, and the right side is the accelerator. Here is more information about the brake and accelerator: 1. Brake: The action of stopping or reducing the speed of a running locomotive, vehicle, or other transportation tools or machinery. The car brake pedal is located below the steering wheel. Pressing the brake pedal causes the brake lever to be pressurized and transmitted to the brake pads on the brake drum, which then clamp the brake disc, slowing down or stopping the car. The manual brake in a car is located next to the gear shift and is connected to the brake lever. Common examples also include bicycle brakes, which rely on rod-shaped brakes fixed to the frame or disc brakes to slow down. 2. Accelerator: A control device that regulates the engine power (thrust). The accelerator pedal, also known as the throttle pedal, is part of the car's fuel supply system. By controlling the amount of pedal press, it regulates the opening of the engine throttle, controls the air intake, and the computer controls the fuel amount, thereby controlling the engine speed.

Can a smart car run on the highway?

smart cars can run on the highway, but it is not recommended to drive at high speeds on the highway. The smart car has a lightweight and compact body, which makes it prone to accidents and hazards when driving at high speeds on the highway. If driving on the highway is necessary, it is recommended to keep the speed below 100km/h. Relevant information is as follows: 1. The smart car is equipped with a three-cylinder engine, with a maximum power of 109 horsepower (80kw) and a maximum torque of 170Nm. The official data indicates a top speed of 155km/h. 2. The dimensions of the smart car are 2695mm x 1663mm x 1542mm, with a wheelbase of only 1873mm, positioning it as a micro commuter car.

What to Do When a Car Fuse Blows

When a car fuse blows, it needs to be replaced. Besides going to a repair shop for replacement, you can also replace the fuse yourself by following these steps: 1. Locate the fuse position based on your car model. Generally, the fuse box is near the battery. The fuse box is usually secured with clips, and some high-end models may have bolts. Carefully remove the box to access the fuse. 2. Carefully refer to the diagram to identify the fuse. Before removing the fuse, read the diagram carefully. It's usually easier to match the diagram on the side where the fuse is easily accessible. 3. Use tweezers to remove the fuse and replace it with a new one. The fuse box typically contains spare fuses, placed away from other fuses for easy identification. Use tweezers to remove the fuse and check if it has blown. If it has, replace it with the appropriate spare fuse.

What is the difference between independent and non-independent suspension?

The difference between independent and non-independent suspension lies in their structure, as detailed below: 1. Independent suspension means that each side's wheel is individually mounted to the frame or body via an elastic suspension system. 2. Non-independent suspension means that both wheels are connected by an integrated frame, and the wheels along with the axle are mounted to the frame or body via an elastic suspension system. The advantages of non-independent suspension are as follows: 1. The left and right wheels are interconnected during bouncing, resulting in minimal changes in tire angle and reduced tire wear. 2. When the vehicle height is lowered, the wheel angle is less likely to change, maintaining consistent handling feel. 3. Simple construction, low manufacturing cost, and easy maintenance. The advantages of independent suspension are as follows: 1. Lightweight and improves wheel traction. 2. Lower engine position enhances driving stability. 3. Left and right wheels move independently, reducing body tilt and vibration.

What is the difference between S gear and M gear in a car?

Here are the differences between the S gear and D gear in a car: 1. Driving state: "D gear" (driving) is the forward gear. When driving in this gear, the hydraulic system control device shifts up or down according to the preset program, and the entire process runs completely according to the set logic. You just need to step on the accelerator. "S gear" (sport) is the sport gear. When this gear is engaged, the hydraulic system can only connect to the first and second gears in the forward gears. 2. Fuel consumption: "S gear" consumes more fuel than "D gear" and should not be used frequently. When in S gear, the fuel injection volume is high at high speeds, which will inevitably increase the car's fuel consumption. Although it can accelerate instantly, this gear is mostly used when overtaking. This gear actually delays upshifting without changing other working conditions, which will bring greater load to the transmission and thus wear it out. 3. Using "S gear" is more powerful than "D gear" when going uphill. This is the same as the principle of manual gear downshifting to accelerate when going uphill. S gear limits the gear to first and second, making it more powerful when going uphill.
