The reasons for a car pulling to one side when braking include: 1. Uneven front tire pressure; 2. Uneven tire wear; 3. Changes in wheel alignment; 4. Uneven braking force; 5. Failure of the front shock absorbers. The automotive braking system refers to a series of specialized devices that apply a certain force, mainly to the wheels, to enforce a certain degree of braking. The functions of the braking system are: 1. To forcibly decelerate or even stop a moving car according to the driver's requirements; 2. To keep a parked car stable under various road conditions, including on slopes; 3. To maintain a stable speed for a car going downhill.

Where is the radar control box located in the Santa Fe?

The radar control box of the Santa Fe is located on the right side of the trunk. The reverse radar, also known as the 'reverse collision avoidance radar' or 'parking assist device,' mainly consists of ultrasonic sensors, a controller, and a display. When reversing, it utilizes the principle of ultrasound. The sensor installed on the rear bumper emits ultrasonic waves that reflect off obstacles, and the system calculates the actual distance between the vehicle and the obstacle, then alerts the driver, making parking or reversing easier and safer. Relevant information is as follows: 1. The main function of the ultrasonic sensor is to send and receive ultrasonic signals, which are then input into the main unit and displayed on the display device. 2. The controller processes the signals to calculate the distance and direction between the vehicle and the obstacle. 3. The display or buzzer alerts the driver when the sensor detects that the distance between the car and the obstacle reaches a dangerous level, issuing warnings through the display and buzzer.

How to use the Volkswagen Bora auto start-stop function?

The Volkswagen Bora auto start-stop switch is located at the lower left of the gear lever button area, using a mechanical button. To turn it off, simply press the button. Tips for using the Volkswagen Bora auto start-stop function: 1. The auto start-stop function needs to be manually turned off by the driver each time the car is started. If you want to permanently disable it, you need to visit a 4S dealership for settings. 2. Disable the auto start-stop function when starting on a slope, as the slow response may cause the car to roll back, creating a hazard. Additional notes on using auto start-stop and auto hold: 1. The auto start-stop function temporarily turns off the engine, during which you must keep your foot on the brake pedal. Once the pedal is released, the engine restarts. 2. The auto hold function compensates for the shortcomings of auto start-stop by locking the wheels, eliminating the need to keep your foot on the brake. When you press the accelerator, the auto hold effect is released, and the car will continue moving.

Where is the Motor Vehicle Inspection Sticker Placed?

Generally, the motor vehicle inspection sticker is placed on the upper right corner of the front windshield. More information about the motor vehicle inspection sticker is as follows: 1. The motor vehicle inspection sticker refers to the inspection compliance sticker issued by the traffic management department after the vehicle passes the regular safety technical inspection. 2. According to national regulations, motor vehicles must undergo regular inspections. Only after passing tests such as exhaust emissions, vehicle appearance, lights, brakes, chassis, and having no violation records can the inspection compliance sticker be issued. 3. In 2020, electronic inspection labels began to be widely promoted to replace the paper version of the annual inspection compliance sticker. Electronic inspection labels have the same legal effect as the paper version. In provinces and cities where electronic annual inspection labels have been implemented, the inspection compliance sticker does not need to be displayed.

How to Deal with the Illuminated OBD Light?

When the OBD light is on, it is necessary to check which engine faults are causing excessive emissions. Below are specific explanations about OBD: 1. OBD, translated into Chinese as 'On-Board Diagnostics,' is primarily an online monitoring and diagnostic system used to control vehicle emissions. It also monitors engine-related faults. 2. OBD is an automated program for diagnosing car problems. When a system fault occurs, the malfunction indicator light or check engine warning light illuminates, and the powertrain control module stores the fault information in memory. The fault code can be read from the PCM through a specific procedure. Based on the fault code's indication, maintenance personnel can quickly and accurately identify the nature and location of the fault, allowing them to inspect relevant parts, components, and circuits in a targeted manner to resolve the issue. 3. When an emission-related engine fault is detected, the OBD system uses the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) or service diagnostic lamp to alert the driver. This ensures timely awareness of the faulty vehicle, reduces vehicle emissions, and assists technicians in rapid diagnosis and targeted repairs, thereby lowering maintenance costs.

How Long Does a Wheel Alignment Take?

Wheel alignment typically takes about half an hour. Below are specific details about wheel alignment: 1. Tire alignment, also known as wheel alignment. 2. The relative positioning of components such as car wheels, shock absorbers, and steering tie rods in the chassis is referred to as wheel alignment. 3. Wheel alignment is crucial for the stability of a car while driving. Its main functions include correcting the effects of minor deformations in the chassis suspension, addressing uneven tire wear caused by chassis issues, ensuring the car does not deviate when driving straight, enhancing handling stability at high speeds, and ensuring all indicators are normal when steering the wheel.
