Should You Press the Brake Once or Continuously?

When the vehicle speed is not too fast, press the brake slowly. When the vehicle speed is high, press the brake repeatedly to reduce the speed before pressing it slowly. Here is some relevant information: 1. Working Principle: Pressing the car's brake is similar to squeezing the brake on a bicycle. There is a fixed, non-rotating brake shoe on the car's axle, which has rough friction pads. When the driver presses the brake, high-pressure gas pushes the brake shoe to tightly grip the axle, preventing it from rotating. When the axle stops rotating, the wheels also stop turning, and the car naturally comes to a halt. 2. Dual Braking: Braking the wheels involves using the braking device to immobilize the wheels, stopping their movement. Directional braking is used in swivel wheels to convert them into fixed-direction wheels, maintaining a constant direction. Dual braking means both the wheels and direction are locked, providing a strong fixing effect.

Which Brand of Engine Oil Reduces Engine Noise

Engine noise can be reduced by using fully synthetic engine oil. Currently, many brands offer fully synthetic oils, such as Mobil, Castrol, Shell, Liqui Moly, Fuchs, Motul, Amsoil, Pennzoil, Great Wall, Tongyi, and HKS. When selecting engine oil, in addition to focusing on whether it is fully synthetic, you should also consider the oil viscosity based on usage conditions, seasons, and other factors. Here are the reasons for using fully synthetic engine oil: 1. Temperature range: Synthetic oil has a wider temperature range compared to semi-synthetic and mineral oils. 2. Lifespan: Synthetic oil is less prone to deterioration, has low evaporation loss, and lasts longer than conventional oils. 3. Multiple advantages: It has excellent chemical stability, good radiation resistance, high oil film strength, fewer foams, good lubrication, and less wear. 4. Engine protection: Fully synthetic oil has reduced thermal degradation, saves fuel, and provides better engine protection.

How to Adjust the Steering Tie Rod?

Adjustment methods for the steering tie rod are as follows: 1. Increase the camber angle: If the vehicle experiences insufficient steering tie rod near the apex, the camber angle should be increased to enhance the front wheels' grip, or the rear toe angle should be reduced to help balance the grip between the front and rear axles and increase the front track. 2. Lower the front axle height: For rear-wheel-drive models experiencing insufficient steering tie rod when exiting a turn, lowering the front axle height can counteract this force, or increasing the damping coefficient of the shock absorbers can promote more front axle travel or compress the rear shock absorber's travel. 3. Enhance the limited-slip differential: If this occurs in front-wheel-drive models, improving the effectiveness of the limited-slip differential can also resolve this issue.

What Are the Types of Independent Suspension?

Independent suspension types include double-wishbone, single-wishbone, trailing arm, single oblique arm, multi-link, and MacPherson strut (link-rod/swing-arm) types. Here is more relevant information: 1. Advantages of Independent Suspension: Its main benefits are that impacts on one wheel do not affect the other, and the suspension is lightweight with excellent shock absorption and damping performance. Independent suspension reduces unsprung mass (the weight of components below the suspension), improving vehicle handling and ride comfort. Since it uses a split axle design, it can also lower the engine position, simplify chassis layout, and facilitate lowering the vehicle's center of gravity. 2. Independent Suspension Location: Independent suspension means each wheel on either side of the vehicle is individually connected to the frame or body through an elastic suspension system.

Will I get points deducted for speeding less than 10%?

Speeding less than 10% does not result in point deductions, only a warning and no fine. Below is more information about speeding on highways or national roads: 1. Speeding between 10% and 20% results in a 3-point deduction and a fine. 2. Speeding between 20% and 50% results in a 6-point deduction and a fine. 3. Speeding over 50% results in an immediate 12-point deduction and a fine, with the fine amount doubling progressively as the speed increases, up to a maximum fine for speeding over 100%. Additional information: Article 45 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law Implementation Regulations": Motor vehicles must not exceed the speed limits indicated by signs or markings on the road. On roads without speed limit signs or markings, motor vehicles must not exceed the following maximum speeds: 1. Roads without a centerline: 30 km/h in urban areas, 40 km/h on highways. 2. Roads with only one lane in the same direction: 50 km/h in urban areas, 70 km/h on highways.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Camry in liters?

The Camry currently has 10 models on sale. Among them, the hybrid versions including the 2.5HQ Flagship, 5HGVP Leading, 2.5HS Sport, and 2.5HG Luxury have a fuel tank capacity of 49 liters, while other models have a 60-liter fuel tank. This data comes from official specifications, and Camry owners can also find this information in their vehicle's configuration sheet. All Camry models use 92-octane gasoline. The hybrid versions (2.5HQ Flagship, 5HGVP Leading, 2.5HS Sport, and 2.5HG Luxury) have a fuel consumption of 4.1L/100km, allowing a driving range of 1,195km on a full tank. Other models consume between 5.5 to 6.0L/100km, providing a range of 1,000 to 1,090km per full tank. During daily driving, it's essential to monitor the remaining fuel level. This is typically done through the fuel gauge on the dashboard. Under normal circumstances, the gauge accurately reflects the fuel level. Most fuel gauges have 5-6 segments, and it's recommended to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel unexpectedly. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel might exceed the nominal capacity. This occurs because manufacturers specify the tank capacity from the bottom to a safe fill level, leaving space between this level and the tank opening. This safety margin allows for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening, the actual refueled amount may exceed the nominal capacity.

Is It Suitable to Pick Up a Car on a Rainy Day?

You can pick up a car in the rain. Here are the relevant details for picking up a car: 1. Vehicle Certificate of Conformity. This is a very important document and is necessary for vehicle registration. A car cannot be registered without this certificate. 2. Vehicle Registration Certificate. This proves the ownership of the vehicle and records the vehicle's information. If the registration certificate is lost, it should be replaced at the vehicle management office as soon as possible. 3. First Maintenance Voucher. Verbal promises are not enough; you need a voucher. Otherwise, it can easily cause trouble when going for maintenance later, as no one remembers whether it's the first time for maintenance. 4. Exterior: Check if there are any color differences, touch-up paint marks, or scratches on the vehicle's exterior. Ensure that the doors, windows, and sunroof open, close, and lift smoothly. Verify that all lights, audio systems, and electronic devices are functioning properly. Inspect and feel the brake discs for any significant wear marks, and check if the tires and spare tire are in good condition.
