Automotive brakes include: 1. Disc brakes; 2. Drum brakes; 3. Ceramic brakes. Automotive brakes are used for stopping the vehicle. During driving, service brakes are employed to facilitate deceleration and stopping while moving forward. When the vehicle is stationary, the brake used is called the parking brake, also known as the handbrake, primarily to prevent the car from rolling forward or backward. Methods of operating automotive brakes: 1. Press the brake pedal downward; 2. Slightly pull the parking brake lever upward; 3.

What is the Difference Between Start-Stop Batteries and Regular Batteries?

Start-stop batteries and regular batteries differ in appearance: start-stop batteries have dedicated markings on their exterior, whereas regular lead-acid batteries do not feature such specific symbols. Start-stop batteries, also known as maintenance-free batteries, are primarily categorized into AGM and EFB types, each with distinct identification symbols. Compared to regular batteries, start-stop batteries offer more charge cycles, longer lifespan, and feature harder plates that prevent active material shedding, making them suitable for vehicles equipped with start-stop systems. The start-stop function can be disabled by default through ECU reprogramming, requiring manual activation to take effect. Start-stop batteries are manufactured using stamping technology, which demands higher technical precision. Additionally, they boast larger capacity and support rapid charging/discharging. Conventional lead-acid batteries cannot sustain multiple high-current discharges within short intervals as their separators restrict rapid ion passage.

Place the automatic gear lever in the D+ position to enter manual mode. Push the gear lever forward once to increase a gear; push the gear lever backward once to decrease a gear. The gear with plus and minus signs is a manual-automatic transmission, which is a type of automatic transmission. It only adds the function of manual shifting on the basis of the automatic transmission, and there is not much difference in essence between the two. The + and - next to the D gear are the manual mode in the automatic transmission. The so-called manual mode is to add an electronic control device to the automatic transmission, so that the transmission will follow the operator's instructions to upshift and downshift. When the gear lever is in the D gear position, move it to the right, and the transmission enters manual mode. At this time, push it up once, and the transmission will upshift one gear.
