It is necessary to engage the electronic parking brake when turning off the engine to prevent the vehicle from rolling and ensure safety. Most electronic parking brakes are automatically engaged after the engine is turned off and the ignition switch is closed, but some vehicles require manual engagement or unlocking. The electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. The basic parking function of the electronic parking brake has been extended to include the automatic parking function AUTOHOLD. The application of AUTOHOLD automatic parking technology allows drivers to avoid prolonged braking when the vehicle is stationary. With the automatic electronic parking brake activated, unnecessary sliding of the vehicle can be prevented.

What Causes the Abnormal Noise When Accelerating at Car Start?

Possible causes of abnormal noise when stepping on the accelerator include: excessive clearance in the drive shaft, poor lubrication, or improper assembly during maintenance, resulting in friction-induced sounds under high torque output. Below are relevant explanations: Abnormal noises can be categorized into minor noises, general noises, and severe noises based on their impact on vehicle performance. Minor noises, such as sparking from high-voltage leakage or slight looseness in rolling bearings, generally have low volume and minimal component wear, showing no significant changes over a long period. These issues can be tolerated without repair while maintaining normal vehicle operation. General noises, like those from flywheel bearings or clutch release bearings, significantly affect vehicle performance but can sustain main technical functions in the short term. These noises are usually louder with more noticeable component wear and should be repaired promptly.

What is the reason for the spray gun emitting air but no material?

The reason for the spray gun emitting air but no material is that the paint tube is blocked or the suction cup is clogged. Paint tube blockage: The spray gun should be kept perpendicular to the substrate surface, or as perpendicular as possible. If the spray gun is slightly tilted, it will inevitably cause the spray pattern to flow to one side, while the other side appears dry and lacking paint, which may result in streaky coatings. The solution is to clean the paint tube thoroughly. Check the air supply oil pump: See if the suction cup is clogged and needs cleaning; whether the oil pump is pumping normally. If there is a problem with the oil pump, abnormal suction can also cause the spray gun to not emit paint. Solution: Clean the oil pump and suction cup.

Can National III Vehicles Still Be Driven on the Road?

National III cars can currently be used normally. Emission Standards: The National III, IV, V, and VI standards are represented by Roman numerals as National III, National IV, National V, and National VI, respectively. These refer to China's different stages of motor vehicle emission standards, primarily aimed at controlling and reducing vehicle pollutant emissions. The later the standard, the more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly it is, with increasingly stringent requirements. National III Emission Standard: This is the third stage of China's motor vehicle pollutant emission standards. It is equivalent to the Euro III emission standard, with tailpipe pollutant levels matching those of Euro III.

Where is the motorcycle starter located?

Motorcycle starter is located on top of the engine. Motorcycle starter working principle: The placement of the starter motor is primarily determined by the specific engine type and structure, with power transmitted to the crankshaft through the pneumatic motor. Maintenance methods are as follows: Turn on the vehicle's main switch and press the horn to check if the sound is loud. If the horn sounds loud, it indicates the battery, fuse, and charging system are functioning normally; otherwise, it suggests a malfunction. Next, inspect the starter relay. After operating the brake, press the starter button and listen for a "click" sound. If present, it means the starter button and relay are working properly. If absent, it indicates a fault in the starter button or relay, which should be checked and rectified individually using the short-circuit method for inspection.
