It depends on the specific situation. In most cases (when the speed is above 30KM/h), you should press the brake first, then the clutch. 1. Principle of the clutch: The clutch is the component in the transmission system that is directly connected to the engine, responsible only for the disengagement and engagement of power and the transmission system. If the car is traveling at high speed and the clutch is pressed before braking, the vacuum level in the vacuum tube decreases, significantly reducing the auxiliary force of the vacuum booster. Relying solely on the brake pads for braking will actually increase the braking distance. 2. When the speed is not high, you can press the clutch first and then the brake: The advantages of doing so are, firstly, it is more stable, less likely to cause inertial skidding, and the vehicle won't shake. Secondly, the car won't stall.

Can the excessive brake pedal travel of the Hongguang be adjusted?

The excessive brake pedal travel of the Hongguang can be adjusted. Adjustment method: Start the vehicle and wait for the idle speed to stabilize (approximately 2-3 minutes), then firmly press the brake pedal all the way down. Make sure to hold it down forcefully for two seconds before pulling up the handbrake. Continue to press the foot brake firmly for a few seconds without releasing it, then slowly release the foot brake and lower the handbrake. If there is no change in the brake pedal travel after this operation, it is necessary to promptly visit a repair shop to check for detailed causes. Reasons for excessive brake pedal travel: Faults in the brake system, including issues with brake fluid, the hydraulic system, wear on brake pads and discs, etc.; among these, the contamination of brake fluid with water is a relatively common fault. Most cars currently use a hydraulic brake system, which has completely replaced the previous cable-operated brake systems. Moreover, the brake fluid reservoir is not completely sealed, leaving certain gaps that allow moisture from the air or external environment to seep into the brake fluid.

How to Analyze the Avalon's Chassis?

Under the chassis, a large amount of plastic protective panels are covered, with flatness being one of the highlights of this car. 1. Front Suspension and Front Chassis Analysis: The Avalon adopts a MacPherson strut front suspension, which is widely used in vehicles of the same class. Its greatest features are its compact size, lightweight, and quick response. The lower control arm is made of double-layer steel plates pressed and welded together. Although it does not use aluminum alloy material, the suspension responsiveness is still well-balanced during actual driving. 2. Rear Suspension and Rear Chassis Analysis The rear suspension adopts a three-horizontal-one-vertical link layout, which is compact in structure and does not significantly encroach on the interior passenger space. This allows for more convenient placement of the hybrid model's battery and fuel tank. The chassis protection is a commendable aspect of this Avalon. In addition to the extensive plastic protective panels, even the moving hinge bushings of the longitudinal control arms are protected with plastic shells to prevent mud and water erosion, enhancing reliability and durability.

Why does the Besturn B50 make loud noises when running?

The reasons for the Besturn B50 making loud noises when running include insufficient power steering fluid or issues with the power steering pump, and air trapped in the hydraulic system not being completely purged. Below are detailed explanations: Insufficient power steering fluid or issues with the power steering pump: Check if the power steering fluid pipe is clogged. If debris is found in the power steering fluid, components of the power steering system need to be replaced. After checking for oil leaks in the pipe, if leaks are found, they should be promptly replaced. After replacing the leaking pipe and refilling the power steering fluid, if the power steering pump no longer makes a buzzing noise, it indicates that the issue was due to insufficient power steering fluid. Air trapped in the hydraulic system not being completely purged: Air trapped in the hydraulic system not being completely purged or deformation of the high-pressure oil pipe of the power steering pump. Note that whether it's damage to the power steering pump or oil leaks in the pipe, after replacing with new parts, all the old oil should be drained, and Honda's original power steering fluid must be used, as Honda's power steering pump has high requirements for oil quality.

Where is it convenient to park when driving to watch the flag-raising ceremony?

Parking in residential areas, workplaces, company parking lots, and regular off-road parking lots is not a violation. There will be no penalties or deductions from the permit days. Below is relevant information: Flag-raising time: The flag-raising time at Tiananmen Square is not fixed. The earliest time is at 4:46 AM, and the latest is at 7:36 AM, with an average daily difference of 52 seconds. When planning to attend the flag-raising ceremony, you can easily check the exact time online and arrange your travel schedule accordingly. It's important to note that Tiananmen Square is closed at night and cleared of visitors. It only opens 40 minutes before the flag-raising ceremony. Since many people attend the ceremony in the early morning, it's advisable to leave early or choose off-peak times. Best viewing spots: The best place to watch the Tiananmen Square flag-raising ceremony is around the flagpole. However, if you arrive late, the areas on either side of the Golden Water Bridge are also good alternatives. To enter the square for viewing, you must pass through security checks at the entrances on the east and west sides of the square. Traffic control around Tiananmen Square is very strict. Unless you are very familiar with the area, it's best not to drive there as parking spaces are extremely hard to find.
