Active braking refers to a technology where the vehicle can actively generate braking effects to decelerate the car when encountering sudden situations during normal driving, even without adaptive cruise control, thereby enhancing driving safety. Active safety systems include electronic devices such as ABS and ESP. When the vehicle ahead brakes, stops, or encounters other obstacles, this system automatically increases the braking force to help the driver shorten the braking distance before taking action. Automotive safety systems are mainly divided into active safety systems and passive safety systems. The role of active safety is to prevent accidents, while passive safety involves the protection of vehicle occupants or the protection of the impacted vehicle or pedestrians in the event of an accident.

That day I was driving on the highway and almost rear-ended the car in front of me. Fortunately, the automatic emergency braking system intervened! Active safety systems are like the guardian angels of a vehicle, with automatic braking being one of its key functions. Simply put, it uses radar or cameras to monitor the road ahead in real time, and the system automatically applies the brakes when it determines a collision is imminent. I’ve learned that this system can be a lifesaver in critical moments, such as when you’re distracted by your phone or a pedestrian suddenly darts out. Beyond braking, active safety systems also include features like lane-keeping assist and blind-spot monitoring, all aimed at preventing accidents in advance. Remember to clean the sensors regularly, as dirt or debris can block them and reduce effectiveness—safety is something you can’t afford to be careless about.

How to Convert from Manual to Automatic Transmission?

Here are several methods to convert a manual transmission car to automatic: 1. Modify the clutch: Essentially, this involves eliminating the clutch pedal. An automatic controller allows the computer to perform the clutch function instead of the driver. The computer automatically engages or disengages the clutch based on the driver's throttle and brake inputs. This means you only need to use your right foot for the accelerator and brake while shifting gears manually, completely freeing your left foot. 2. Replace with an automatic transmission: However, the cost of a single automatic transmission can exceed tens of thousands. This technique actually involves retrofitting an automatic clutch, which modifies certain components to allow the clutch to engage and disengage automatically. 3. Install an automatic clutch system: An automatic clutch system enables the car to stop directly with the gear engaged. The system automatically depresses the clutch for the driver, ensuring the engine doesn't stall. When starting again, simply shift into first or second gear, release the brake, and the car will move on its own, just like an automatic transmission.

How Many Liters of Brake Fluid Are Needed for a Car Replacement

Brake fluid replacement only requires 1 liter, and in fact, most cars do not even use up the full liter. Below is relevant information about automotive brake fluid: 1. Function: The role of brake fluid is that when the brake pedal is pressed, the liquid pressure increases through the master brake cylinder, causing the pistons on the wheel cylinders of all four wheels to extend under the action of the sealing rubber cups. Utilizing the principle of leverage, this force acts on the brake discs and brake pads to achieve braking. 2. Replacement Cycle: Most people believe that brake fluid replacement is only determined by time and mileage. However, it also depends on the climate and humidity of the vehicle's location. In tropical regions, it should be replaced annually or every 20,000 kilometers; in cold regions, every two years or 40,000 kilometers; and in temperate regions, every three years or 60,000 kilometers.

What is the function of an automotive air conditioning dryer bottle?

The automotive air conditioning dryer bottle primarily serves three functions: storing refrigerant, filtering impurities, and drying the environment. Its working principle involves heating and evaporating moisture in the brake system to achieve dryness, preventing moisture from freezing and affecting braking performance. Below are the relevant details: 1. Storing refrigerant: The dryer bottle contains the refrigerant required for the air conditioning system's operation, enabling timely deployment of refrigerant to assist its function. The greater the workload of the air conditioning system, the more refrigerant it requires. 2. Filtering impurities: The dryer bottle can filter out impurities generated in the vehicle's pipelines and air conditioning compressor, preventing blockages that could disrupt the normal operation of the automotive air conditioning system. 3. Drying the environment: The dryer bottle absorbs moisture within the air conditioning system, maintaining a dry operating environment to avoid water blockages, ice blockages, or dirt blockages in the air conditioning refrigeration system.

How to Determine if an Alternator is Good or Bad?

To determine if an alternator is good or bad, simply use a multimeter to measure each wire coming out of the motor. Any two wires must show resistance; otherwise, it indicates the motor is damaged. Below is relevant information about alternators: 1. Composition: An alternator consists of a rotor, stator, rectifier, end cover, pulley, etc. Any abnormal component or part can cause poor generator performance. 2. Function: When the engine is running normally, it supplies power to all electrical equipment except the starter motor, while also charging the battery. The generator is the main power source of a car, and automotive generators are alternators.
