The reason is forgetting to release the handbrake. Below is relevant information about the handbrake: 1. Introduction to the Handbrake: The parking brake, commonly referred to as the handbrake, functions to provide resistance to the car when parked, preventing it from rolling. The parking brake, whether it's the handbrake or the parking gear in automatic transmissions, locks the drive shaft or rear wheels. The force of the parking brake is much weaker than that of the service brake, just enough to prevent the car from rolling on a slope. 2. Precautions for Using the Handbrake: Avoid pulling the handbrake to its highest position, as the cables in the handbrake system include not only steel wires but also nylon ropes. If it's always pulled to the highest position, the nylon rope will quickly suffer from material fatigue.

What Causes the Belt to Squeak When Cold but Stop When Warm?

Cold belt squeaking that disappears when warm can be attributed to the following reasons: Loose Belt: Factors causing belt looseness include improper adjustment of the belt tensioner or insufficient tensioner spring force. Solution: Adjust the screw spacing between the belts. Belt Aging: Belt aging mainly refers to the gradual hardening and loss of elasticity over prolonged use, reducing friction between the belt and pulley. Solution: Repeatedly clean the belt with lubricant to restore tension. Excessively Worn Belt: An overly worn belt may slip and squeak, while excessive tightness increases resistance and causes premature wear on bearings of driven components like the alternator, water pump, and air conditioning. Solution: Replace with a new belt.

Will driving on the emergency lane on the highway result in a 12-point deduction?

Driving on the emergency lane on the highway will not result in a 12-point deduction. Emergency Lane: The emergency lane on a highway refers to the section adjacent to the right-hand traffic lane, including the hard shoulder, with a width of more than 3 meters and an effective length of 30 meters or more, which can accommodate the parking needs of motor vehicles. In emergency situations, vehicles may drive or park on the emergency lane. Parking Guidelines: If you encounter an unsolvable issue such as a vehicle breakdown, you should park the car in the emergency stopping area, turn on the hazard warning lights, place a warning sign 150 meters behind the vehicle, and during nighttime, rain, fog, or other adverse weather conditions, also turn on the side marker lights, tail lights, and rear fog lights.

Is a tire pressure of 2.5bar too high in winter?

Winter tire pressure of 2.5bar is not too high. According to the regulations and requirements of the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the standard tire pressure is 2.4-2.5bar. It is appropriate to increase the pressure by about 0.2bar in winter, so a tire pressure of 2.5bar is not too high. Hazards of excessive tire pressure: The friction and adhesion of the tire will decrease, affecting braking performance; It can cause steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; Accelerates localized wear of the central tread pattern, shortening tire lifespan; Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components; Causes excessive stretching deformation of the tire cords, reducing tire elasticity and increasing the load on the vehicle during driving; Decreases puncture resistance. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, leading to internal cracks and blowouts, resulting in a tire burst.

How many minutes can you park at a no-parking sign?

No-parking signs allow parking for less than 2 minutes. Signs: There are signs prohibiting temporary parking and long-term parking. The sign prohibiting temporary parking has a red cross in the middle. When this sign appears, it means all vehicles are prohibited from parking on that road section. Markings: Yellow and black dashed lines indicate temporary parking is allowed. Note that long-term parking is still prohibited here. If traffic police find a vehicle parked for an extended period without moving, it may be penalized. Temporary parking: If temporary parking (1-3 minutes) is needed while driving, the engine usually remains running for quick restart. First, press the brake and clutch pedals (automatic transmission vehicles only need the brake pedal), engage the handbrake, shift to neutral, release both pedals, and optionally release the steering wheel to relax.
