What does ABS on a car mean?

1 Answers

07/30/25 2:47am
ABS on a car stands for Anti-lock Braking System, which consists of an ABS pump, wheel speed sensors, and a brake switch. Its working principle is: during emergency braking, the highly sensitive wheel speed sensors installed on each wheel detect wheel lock-up, and the computer immediately controls the pressure regulator to release pressure from the wheel's brake caliper, preventing wheel lock-up. The functions of the ABS system are: 1. To prevent loss of vehicle control, increase braking distance, and improve vehicle safety; 2. To enhance the overall braking performance of the vehicle; 3. To prevent wheel lock-up during braking; 4. To ensure the driver can control the direction while braking and prevent rear axle skidding.

In which direction should tires be removed?

That is, counterclockwise to loosen and clockwise to tighten. Below is a detailed introduction on changing tires: 1. Removing the tire: When removing the tire, because there are fixed screws on it, pay attention to the direction of force, which is counterclockwise to loosen and clockwise to tighten. Then, pay attention to the use of the jack, making sure to place the jack in the jack slots on both sides of the car's underside to avoid accidents. 2. Inspection: Before changing the tire, the owner must remember to check whether the replacement tire is normal. It is best to perform a simple inspection of the tire to be replaced to avoid unnecessary safety hazards. 3. Sequence: When replacing the tire, pay attention to the operation sequence. Remember not to tighten the screws in a clockwise or counterclockwise order, but to tighten them in a diagonal sequence. The tire is fixed by five screws. It is recommended to first tighten four screws in a diagonal manner, and then tighten the fifth screw. When tightening the screws, it is best to keep the number of turns for each screw consistent to ensure even force distribution on the screws.

What does steering wheel free play mean?

Steering wheel free play refers to the angle the steering wheel turns to eliminate gaps and overcome elastic deformation when the vehicle is driving straight, or the angle it can turn without causing the steering wheels to deflect when turning left or right while driving. Steering wheel free play angle: The free play angle is generally between 10 to 15 degrees. If it exceeds 25 to 30 degrees, adjustments are needed, as excessive free play can affect the steering wheel's sensitivity. Causes of excessive steering wheel free play: Excessive steering wheel free play is caused by improper assembly or wear of components in the steering system. If the free play exceeds the specified value, check for wear or damage in the steering linkage joints, steering knuckle ball joints, and steering gear rack and pinion, as well as for loose installation or connections of parts. If any issues are found, replace the corresponding components.

What does the MIN display on the Audi Q3 dashboard mean?

The appearance of MIN on the Audi Q3 dashboard indicates low engine oil level, requiring oil replenishment. After adding oil, you can press the button on the multifunction steering wheel to clear the MIN alert. Solution: When MIN appears, use an oil pressure gauge to check if the oil system pressure is normal; inspect whether the oil level sensor on the oil pan has issues; then carefully check if there are any other pattern messages on the dashboard. If an oil can icon appears, it indicates insufficient oil. Check the oil level using the dipstick, examine the chassis for oil leaks. If no leaks are found, simply add oil to the vehicle. Audi Q3: The Audi Q3 initially offers three four-cylinder engine options. The standard gasoline model is equipped with a 170-horsepower 2.0TFSI engine, while the top-tier model features the 211-horsepower 2.0TFSI engine from the Q5, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 6.9 seconds.

What Are the Parallel Import Toyota Models?

Toyota parallel import models include the Land Cruiser Prado, Toyota Fortuner, Toyota FJ Cruiser, Toyota Land Cruiser LC series, and Toyota 4Runner (US and Canadian versions). Below is more information about parallel import vehicles: 1. Parallel import vehicles, fully known as parallel trade import vehicles and abbreviated as parallel trade cars, refer to vehicles purchased by traders from overseas markets and introduced into the Chinese market for sale without authorization from the brand manufacturer. Depending on the import source, they can be categorized as "US-spec cars," "Middle East-spec cars," "Canadian-spec cars," or "European-spec cars," distinguishing them from "China-spec cars" sold through authorized channels. 2. Parallel import vehicles have advantages in terms of model availability and delivery time. When new vehicles are launched overseas, they may not be immediately available in China due to the automaker's strategic planning or domestic certification processes. However, parallel import vehicles naturally excel in this aspect—they can be freely purchased overseas and then shipped to China for sale, significantly reducing the waiting time for new models.

What is the Principle of the Steering Gear?

The working principle of the steering gear is that when the car is driving straight, the steering gear connects the working fluid overflowing from the steering oil pump with the oil tank, and the steering oil pump is in an unloading state; when the car needs to turn right, the steering gear connects the working fluid overflowing from the steering oil pump with the R chamber, and connects the L chamber with the oil tank, causing the left and right wheels to deflect to the right through the transmission structure to achieve right steering. The function of the steering gear: The function of the steering gear is to increase the force transmitted from the steering wheel to the steering transmission mechanism and to change the direction of force transmission. Types of steering gears: Steering gears can be classified according to the form of assistance into mechanical (non-assisted) and power-assisted (assisted); mechanical steering gears can be further classified according to their structural forms into rack and pinion, recirculating ball, worm and sector, recirculating ball and sector, and worm and roller types; power-assisted steering gears can be further divided into pneumatic and hydraulic types based on the medium of energy transmission.
