There are three basic requirements for automotive braking systems: first, good braking performance; second, good directional stability during braking; and third, good braking smoothness. Below is an introduction to the automotive braking system content: 1. The braking system mainly consists of four parts: the energy supply device, control device, transmission device, and brake. Its primary function is to decelerate or even stop a moving vehicle or to ensure that a stationary vehicle remains in a static state. 2. Braking performance is evaluated based on braking distance, deceleration rate, and braking time. Directional stability during braking mainly depends on the direction during braking, whether the distribution of braking force on the wheels is reasonable, and whether the braking force on the left and right wheels is balanced to avoid the vehicle veering during braking. 3. Braking smoothness emphasizes that braking should be sufficiently gentle, and release should be quick and thorough. Additionally, it should have good heat dissipation, be easy to adjust, recover quickly when wet, allow rapid adjustment of gaps after wear, and provide dust and oil resistance.

Does the 210 seconds for reverse parking include both left and right parking?

Reverse parking in 210 seconds includes both left and right parking. Here are the relevant details: 1. Subject 2 reverse parking test: Includes left and right parking, with a test duration of 3.5 minutes. According to relevant statistics, the average time for students to complete reverse parking is about 2 minutes, so 210 seconds is sufficient. 2. Additional information: Before the test, carefully observe the condition of the site. Sloped ground or uneven surfaces can cause the vehicle to stop. During reverse parking, maintain a calm mindset to avoid poor clutch control due to excessive nervousness. Keeping the speed steady will help you complete the parking better.

What are the symptoms of water ingress in a CVT transmission?

Introduction to symptoms of water ingress in a CVT transmission: 1. Mild water ingress: Some screws in the transmission may rust. 2. Moderate water ingress: White deposits appear in the oil pan. When oil mixes with water, it forms a white emulsion that adheres to the oil pan. The presence of such deposits indicates moderate water ingress in the transmission. 3. Severe water ingress: Can be determined by the color and viscosity of the transmission fluid. Maintenance methods for automatic transmissions: 1. Use the specified transmission fluid for power transmission: Do not opt for cheaper or more convenient manual transmission fluid, as it can cause severe burning of clutches and brakes. 2. In addition to using the specified fluid: Ensure the correct type of gearbox oil is used, otherwise issues like clutch slippage and hot gear jumping may occur. 3. Strictly control the amount of automatic transmission fluid added: The ATF fluid level must be between the bottom of the planetary gears and the top of the control valve body. If the fluid level is too high, the planetary gears may churn the fluid, causing foaming and potential leakage during driving. If the fluid level is too low, clutches and brakes are prone to slipping.

How to Turn Off the Auto Start-Stop Function in Cadillac XTS?

On the Cadillac XTS center console, next to the gear shift lever, there is a button to turn off the engine auto start-stop function. It features a circular arrow with an 'A' inside. If you do not wish to use the auto start-stop function, you can press this button before driving to deactivate it. Below are situations where it is advisable to turn off the auto start-stop: 1. Temporary parking on slopes: Avoid using the start-stop system when temporarily parked on a slope. The system starts relatively slowly, and when you release the brake, the vehicle may slide before the engine can restart, leading to insufficient braking power and potential danger. However, most vehicles detect slopes and will not activate the start-stop system if the downhill slope exceeds 10% or the uphill slope exceeds 12%. 2. Low-speed parking: Frequent start-stop cycles can lead to incomplete fuel combustion, increasing carbon deposits and tailpipe emissions. Therefore, it is better to turn off the auto start-stop function when parking. 4. Heavy traffic congestion: During severe traffic jams, it is also recommended to turn off the auto start-stop function. Prolonged engine shutdowns can lower the combustion chamber temperature, causing unburned hydrocarbons and paraffin to form carbon deposits on the cylinder walls. These deposits can increase fuel consumption and reduce engine power.

What is the normal tire pressure for the Volkswagen Lavida?

The normal tire pressure range for the Lavida is 2.4-2.5 bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2 bar in winter and decreased by 0.1 bar in summer. This data is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard requirements. The Lavida's tire pressure monitoring system is indirect, utilizing the vehicle's ABS balance control, and only displays low pressure when there is a leak. To check the tire pressure, first prepare a tire pressure gauge, locate the original tire pressure label, press the gauge onto the tire valve to measure and read the value, and remember to replace the valve cap after measurement. Generally, a tire pressure exceeding 2.8 bar is considered too high, while a pressure below 2.0 bar is too low. Hazards of overinflated tires: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates wear on the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting other components' longevity; overextends tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing driving load. Hazards of underinflated tires: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; makes the steering wheel heavy and prone to deviation, compromising driving safety; increases movement in tire sections, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling; reduces cord and rubber functionality, leading to delamination or cord breakage and excessive friction with the rim, damaging the bead area and causing abnormal wear; multiplies friction with the ground, rapidly increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing strength. High-speed driving may result in a blowout. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light illuminates (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no seal above, four small spikes below, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Typically, it will alert if below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset promptly, the system retains the old data, causing the indicator light to illuminate. Simply reset the tire pressure to resolve this. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve, monitors tire pressure. If damaged during driving, the tire pressure warning light will activate. Sensor damage requires replacement with a new part. This data is based on the international GBT2978-2008 standard requirements.
