Descent control function malfunction may be caused by a parking system failure. Here is a related introduction to the descent control function: 1. Introduction: The Hill Descent Control (HDC) system allows the driver to smoothly pass through steep downhill sections without stepping on the brake pedal, maintaining complete control. As needed, the braking system automatically controls each wheel to move forward slightly faster than walking speed, allowing the driver to focus entirely on steering. 2. Principle: The system combines engine braking with the ABS anti-lock braking system to maintain a "low speed without losing tire grip" state when the vehicle is descending a steep slope. HDC must be activated when the transmission is in 1st gear or reverse (there are two types of steep descents: forward and reverse). The system typically sets an upper speed limit. When HDC is activated and the vehicle enters a steep slope, engine braking alone can provide a significant deceleration effect without the risk of tire lock-up. If the slope is too steep and engine braking is insufficient to maintain the speed limit, HDC can use the ABS system to initiate intermittent braking as needed to reduce the gradually increasing speed, ensuring a stable and safe descent. If the driver needs to steer to avoid obstacles during the descent, the HDC system will detect this and further reduce the speed limit to 6.4 km/h to ensure complete vehicle control.

How much is the purchase tax for Haval H6?

Haval H6 purchase tax is approximately 10% of the purchase price at the time of buying. The vehicle purchase tax is a tax levied on units and individuals who purchase specified vehicles within the country, evolving from the vehicle purchase surcharge. The calculation formula is: Taxable amount = Taxable price × Tax rate. Below is relevant information: 1. The basic norms of the current vehicle purchase tax law are implemented from January 1, 2001, under the "Interim Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Vehicle Purchase Tax." The taxpayers of the vehicle purchase tax are units and individuals who purchase (including buying, importing, self-producing, receiving as gifts, winning as prizes, or obtaining by other means and using personally) taxable vehicles. The scope of taxation includes cars, motorcycles, electric vehicles, trailers, and agricultural transport vehicles. 2. The vehicle purchase tax is calculated using an ad valorem rate method, with the formula: Taxable amount = Taxable price × Tax rate. If the consumer buys a domestic private car, the taxable price is the total payment and additional fees paid to the dealer, excluding the value-added tax (VAT) (17% rate). Since the purchase price in the special invoice for motor vehicle sales includes VAT, when calculating the vehicle purchase tax, the 17% VAT must first be deducted, i.e., Vehicle purchase tax taxable price = Invoice price ÷ 1.17, and then the vehicle purchase tax is calculated at a 10% rate.

What is the method for resetting the tire pressure on the Geely Boyue?

The method for resetting the tire pressure on the Geely Boyue is relatively simple. You only need to drive for a while, and it will automatically return to normal data without any manual settings. Here is the relevant information: 1. The tire pressure monitoring system alerts the driver to check tire pressure and temperature status by illuminating the low tire pressure indicator light and displaying tire status information on the instrument panel. The recommended tire pressure for the Geely Boyue is 220±10 kPa, which means between 210~230 kPa. For the tire pressure inspection guide, please follow these instructions: Check the tire pressure only when the tires are cold. If the vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or driven less than 1.5 km, you can obtain an accurate tire pressure reading at this time. 2. The tire pressure monitoring system uses radio waves and sensing technology to detect tire pressure levels. The tire pressure monitoring system sensors monitor the air pressure in the vehicle's tires and transmit the tire pressure readings to a receiver inside the vehicle.

How to Break in a Cadillac XT238 During the Run-in Period?

The driving speed of the Cadillac XT238 during the run-in period should generally be controlled between 50-90 km/h, with the engine speed maintained at 2,000-2,500 rpm. Avoid operating the engine at high speeds. Do not drive with heavy loads during the initial use of the new car; it is best to choose flat roads to avoid significant vibrations, impacts, and sudden braking. Additionally, avoid rapid acceleration. Below is relevant information: Precautions for the run-in period of a new car: 1. Pay attention to gear usage during the run-in period, selecting the appropriate gear based on speed and road conditions. Do not drive at low speeds in high gears or at high speeds in low gears, and avoid using a single gear for extended periods. 2. During the initial driving phase, try to avoid highway driving. Do not drive at full capacity. All components of a new car are freshly manufactured, and the run-in period will generate many metal shavings within the engine. Additionally, the suspension system, transmission system, and braking system are all new parts, and their interfaces are not yet perfectly aligned or smooth. Driving at full capacity will place excessive load on the engine and other components, potentially causing damage. Therefore, during the run-in period, do not exceed 80% of the rated load capacity.
