Pressing the brake while shifting gears in a manual transmission can cause the engine to stall, wear out the brake pads faster, and cause significant damage to the braking system over time. Here are the relevant details: 1. Brake Pads: Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are the most critical safety components in a car's braking system. The effectiveness of braking largely depends on the quality of the brake pads, making them the guardian of both the driver and the vehicle. 2. Composition: Brake pads are typically composed of a steel plate, an adhesive heat-insulating layer, and a friction block. The steel plate is coated to prevent rust, and the coating process is monitored using an SMT-4 oven temperature tracker to ensure quality by measuring the temperature distribution. The heat-insulating layer is made of non-conductive materials to provide thermal insulation. The friction block consists of friction materials and adhesives.

How to Use Toyota Radar Cruise Control?

First, locate the control lever on the steering wheel and press the cruise activation button on the side. Then, slide the lever up or down to perform RES or SET operations. After setting the desired speed, you can release the accelerator. The system will automatically accelerate or decelerate to the preset cruising speed and maintain it. While the car is moving forward, the system continuously detects obstacles ahead through sensors hidden in the front of the vehicle. When a slower vehicle is detected in the lane ahead, the system automatically reduces speed until it matches the speed of the vehicle in front, maintaining a safe distance. When the system detects that the obstacle vehicle ahead has disappeared, the computer will automatically restore the speed to the preset cruising speed. You can continue overtaking while maintaining the original cruising speed.

Does ECO Mode Harm the Car?

ECO mode does not harm the car. ECO refers to the energy-saving mode, whose principle is to comprehensively evaluate the automatic transmission gear, engine speed, and transmission oil temperature during vehicle operation, controlling the engine speed with appropriate gears, and calculating the fuel amount provided to the engine for work by the computer. Situations where ECO mode does not function: 1. When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h, the energy-saving mode automatically deactivates; 2. When idling in park or in N, P gears, or in manual mode; 3. When overcoming certain resistance and requiring high torque output, the ECU prioritizes ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and ECO does not work.
