Brake failure can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. The braking system fails to apply sufficient braking force to the vehicle; 2. Insufficient brake fluid level or air ingress in the brake fluid lines; 3. Malfunction of the brake control system leading to the brakes not operating properly; 4. Poor hydraulic braking performance resulting in brake failure. When experiencing insufficient or complete loss of braking force, the driver should first maintain control of the steering, carefully observe road conditions, especially other vehicles, pedestrians, and obstacles on the road. After addressing these immediate concerns, the driver should proactively investigate the cause of the brake failure, including checking the dashboard for any warning lights and examining the brake pedal's operation. Additionally, the driver should check for any foreign objects stuck beneath the brake pedal.

How much weight can a sedan trunk hold?

The vehicle's manual provides the curb weight and gross vehicle weight. Subtracting these two figures and then deducting 400kg gives the maximum capacity for the trunk. Below are the hazards of trunk overload: 1. Increased vehicle weight compresses the springs, keeping them in a prolonged compressed state, and places additional strain on the engine. This can easily damage the vehicle's frame and rear axle suspension, reducing the engine's lifespan. 2. The vehicle may experience reduced acceleration power. 3. Fuel consumption increases. For every 10% increase in weight, the car consumes 6% more fuel. 4. The overall driving and handling performance of the car is diminished, significantly raising the risk of losing control during uphill and downhill driving.
