This indicates a malfunction in the electronic parking brake system. To resolve this issue, it is necessary to visit a 4S shop to inspect the faulty component and determine the cause. About the electronic parking brake: Many vehicles are equipped with electronic parking brakes, and numerous mid-size sedans utilize this system. The structure of the electronic parking brake differs from that of the mechanical handbrake. Vehicles equipped with an electronic parking brake have parking brake motors on the two rear wheels. When the electronic parking brake button is pressed, the electronic parking brake motor clamps the brake pads, preventing the vehicle from rolling. About electronic parking brake failure: Generally, failure occurs either due to a malfunction in the electronic parking brake motor or a fault in the electronic parking brake circuit. The mechanical handbrake features a handbrake lever connected to handbrake cables. Pulling the lever engages the two rear wheels, preventing the vehicle from rolling. Over time, the handbrake cables of a mechanical handbrake may loosen, requiring periodic tightening by car owners. If the handbrake cables are loose, the vehicle may still roll even after the handbrake is engaged.

What does 'tripa' mean on the car dashboard?

Car dashboard 'tripa' refers to the trip odometer, which measures the mileage of each trip taken by the user. Here is some related information about car dashboards: 1. Basic introduction: Different cars have different instrument panels. However, common gauges in most cars include the speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure gauge, water temperature gauge, fuel gauge, and charging gauge. 2. Oil pressure: The sensor for the oil pressure gauge on the car dashboard is a piezoresistive sensor. It is fixed to the engine oil pipeline with threads. The oil pressure pushes the contact piece to move along the resistor, changing the resistance value, which in turn affects the current flowing through the gauge to the ground, driving the pointer to swing.

What to Do If You Keep Crossing the Line During Curve Driving?

If you keep crossing the line during curve driving, you can remember five key points for steering wheel control to pass smoothly. Here are the detailed steps: 1.

Point Two: As the vehicle continues forward, when the left front of the car overlaps with the right-side curve, turn the steering wheel half a turn to the left, then make slight adjustments to keep the front of the car always overlapping with the curve. 3. Point Three: Before entering the right turn, observe when the left front of the car aligns with the left-side curve, straighten the steering wheel. 4. Point Four: As the vehicle enters the right curve, when one-third of the left front hood aligns with the curve, turn the steering wheel one full turn to the right. 5. Point Five: Continue observing. When the right front of the car overlaps with the left-side curve, start turning the steering wheel half a turn to the right, then make slight adjustments to keep the front of the car always overlapping with the left-side curve.
