Handbrake issues: This situation may be caused by a problem with the handbrake, specifically a part of the handbrake getting stuck. Try pressing the foot brake several times in a row while also pulling and releasing the handbrake multiple times. This action of repeatedly lifting and lowering the handbrake can help resolve minor sticking issues. Rear drum brake issues: If the rear drum brake is stuck, it may remain locked even after releasing the handbrake. First, remove the rear wheel and then open the drum cover. Check if rust is causing the brake to lock. Prepare some WD40 and spray it inside, then test the brake by pressing it several times until the issue is resolved.

What are the symptoms of excessive engine oil in a car?

The symptoms of excessive engine oil in a car are: 1. When there is too much oil, the crankshaft and connecting rods will undergo intense agitation. This agitation not only causes the oil to splash but also generates bubbles. Oil with bubbles entering the lubrication system can lead to wear and tear on the cylinders and pistons. 2. Excessive oil, when agitated by the crankshaft, can easily rise in temperature, causing the oil to degrade and reducing its performance. Additionally, a large amount of oil can be forced into the combustion chamber and burned. Burning oil tends to form carbon deposits on the piston rings, piston tops, valve seats, and fuel injectors, leading to issues such as stuck piston rings and clogged fuel injectors. Excessive carbon deposits can also cause engine knocking. 3. Too much oil increases the pressure in the lubrication system, making oil seals more prone to damage. This can result in oil leaks, increasing oil consumption, polluting the environment, and making maintenance more difficult.

What is the semi-engaged state of a manual transmission car?

Manual transmission semi-engagement refers to the clutch being in the intermediate transition zone between engaged and disengaged. In practical use, it manifests as the vehicle shaking or moving forward when the clutch is slowly released, indicating the semi-engaged state. This, combined with the throttle, allows for starting and gear shifting operations. The semi-engagement point can be determined based on three phenomena: 1. Listen for changes in engine sound. When the engine is under no load, the sound is relatively relaxed. If a load is applied—i.e., when the clutch is lifted to the point where power transmission begins—the engine sound becomes deeper, especially noticeable under heavier vehicle loads. 2. Feel the engine vibration. When the clutch is lifted to the semi-engagement position, the vehicle will transition from stationary to moving with a noticeable vibration. Lightly resting your hands on the steering wheel makes this vibration easy to detect. At this point, the clutch is precisely in the semi-engaged state. 3. Rely on foot sensation. As the engine sound changes and the vehicle begins to vibrate slightly, the clutch pedal will also produce a sensation of pushing against your foot. This indicates the clutch is in the semi-engaged state.

What are the main reasons why overtaking is difficult in rainy weather?

The main reasons why overtaking is difficult in rainy weather are: 1. Difficulty in accurately judging the distance to surrounding vehicles; 2. Other drivers may not easily see overtaking signals; 3. Slippery road conditions increase the risk of vehicle skidding; 4. Reduced ability to promptly detect hazardous situations. Precautions for driving in rainy weather are as follows: 1. When driving on wet roads, the tire grip decreases sharply as speed increases, making "hydroplaning" more likely. In such situations, avoid sudden braking or sharp steering. 2. Due to the unique conditions of wet roads, it's advisable to reduce speed appropriately. When preparing to stop, begin decelerating 100-200 meters in advance to give following vehicles sufficient reaction time and ensure adequate braking distance to prevent rear-end collisions.
