After braking, you should release the brake before the clutch. There are three types of braking systems: 1. Foot brake: The most commonly used brake while driving is operated by the foot, hence also called the foot brake. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the braking force is transmitted mechanically or hydraulically to the wheel's braking device, creating friction. 2. Parking brake: Also known as the handbrake, it prevents the vehicle from slipping when parked. There are generally two types: the intermediate brake mounted on the driveshaft and the direct rear-wheel brake control. 3. Anti-lock braking system (ABS): When driving on slippery or icy low-friction roads, excessive braking can cause the wheels to lock up and lose traction, leading to a loss of steering control. To enable effective directional control on such hazardous surfaces, the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) was developed.

Are Hazard Lights the Same as Emergency Warning Lights?

Hazard lights are emergency warning lights, activated by a red triangular button switch located in the center of the front dashboard, commonly referred to as hazard flashers or emergency flashers. Hazard lights serve as a signal to alert other vehicles and pedestrians that the car is experiencing a special situation. When activated, both the left and right turn signals flash simultaneously, accompanied by an audible clicking sound inside the vehicle. It is also advisable to turn on hazard lights when parking on the roadside to prevent rear-end collisions. Common indicators on a car include: headlights, fog lights, width markers, brake lights, emergency lights, fog lamps, daytime running lights, oil pressure indicator, oil light, ABS fault light, engine indicator, etc.

Is a Four-Wheel Alignment Necessary When Replacing All Four Wheel Hubs?

Replacing all four wheel hubs does not require a four-wheel alignment, but it does necessitate wheel balancing. Wheel balancing refers to the process of using specialized equipment to detect imbalances and adding counterweights at the lighter spots, ensuring the tire's center of gravity remains consistently centered. This prevents uneven force distribution during high-speed rotation. Four-wheel alignment is a maintenance procedure typically performed under the following circumstances: after a vehicle accident resulting in damage to the chassis or suspension; when chassis components require replacement or repair; when tires exhibit uneven wear patterns with disproportionate side wear; or when the vehicle demonstrates pulling tendencies during driving.

Why is there water dripping under the car floor?

The reasons for water dripping under the car floor: 1. Air conditioning system drainage - This occurs due to the temperature difference between the hot outdoor summer temperatures and the cold interior of an air-conditioned car, causing condensation and dripping from the chassis; 2. Water dripping from the muffler and exhaust pipe at the rear of the car - This is also a normal phenomenon, commonly seen in winter. In addition to these normal drainage phenomena from internal systems like the air conditioning, muffler, and exhaust pipe, the car chassis also has specially designed drainage holes to discharge accumulated water from rain or snow. These drainage holes include engine compartment drainage holes, sunroof drainage holes, door drainage holes, and trunk drainage holes.

Alternatively, you can directly press the button on top of the electronic tag to enable Bluetooth; 2. Download the corresponding app according to the electronic tag brand, then enter the device activation interface; 3. Click "Device Connection", select the required device model, and patiently wait for the "Connection Successful" prompt; 4. After successful connection, follow the prompts to complete verification by uploading a front-view photo of the vehicle to finish activation.
