Active braking has the following specific meanings: 1. The active braking system refers to the situation where the vehicle is driving normally under non-adaptive cruise conditions, and when encountering sudden dangerous situations, it automatically generates a braking effect to slow down the vehicle. However, not all active braking systems can stop the car. Active braking is an auxiliary function and cannot completely replace the driver's braking. 2. The active braking system is part of the vehicle's safety assistance system. The active braking technology system can achieve active deceleration and also reduce vehicle emergency losses and risks. The active braking system can prevent or reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents, but it cannot eliminate accidents. Therefore, civilized use of vehicles is very important.

I remember my first experience with autonomous emergency braking was when I was driving drowsy on the highway. The truck in front suddenly braked hard, and before I could react, the car stopped by itself - it nearly scared the pants off me. Simply put, autonomous braking means the car can detect dangers on its own. When it senses obstacles or pedestrians ahead, it automatically applies the brakes for you. The car is equipped with radar and cameras that scan road conditions 24/7. If it detects an imminent collision, it first beeps to alert you. If you don't hit the brakes within one second, it automatically stops the car. Nowadays, even entry-level new cars around 100,000 RMB come with this feature, which is especially useful for absent-minded veteran drivers like me. However, the sensors may malfunction in rainy weather, so it's important to keep the front of the car clean.

What to Do When Car Glass Can't Be Cleaned Properly?

Here are the methods to deal with unclean car glass: 1. Surface dust: Wipe with a dry cloth, but not too hard to avoid scratching the glass, then clean directly with glass cleaner, and finally wipe with a warm, damp cloth. 2. Spots: If spots on the car glass cannot be wiped off, try applying some toothpaste for unexpected results. 3. Cleaners: Avoid using abrasive cleaners on car glass as such damage can affect the driver's visibility. 4. Glass rust: Glass rust is relatively difficult to remove. If laundry detergent and dish soap don’t work, first wipe with a damp cloth, then use a clean damp cloth dipped in a little alcohol or liquor to scrub the car glass vigorously. This can make the glass shine like new.

What causes a loud noise from the car's chassis?

Possible causes of abnormal noises from the car chassis are as follows: 1. Noises when starting the vehicle are generally related to suspension system faults, or may be caused by loose or damaged engine mounts. 2. Noises during steering may be due to issues with the steering system or suspension system. During turning, the vehicle's tilt causes deformation of the suspension system, which also participates in the movement. 3. Noises during driving on good road conditions may be caused by faults in the braking system components, such as loose or worn parts, out-of-round brake drums, or uneven brake discs. 4. Problems with the bearings connecting moving and static parts. If it's a bearing issue, the driver can identify it by applying slight brakes; if the noise remains unchanged during uniform motion with brakes applied, it indicates a bearing problem. 5. Noises during driving on poor road conditions are mostly related to suspension system issues, but may also be caused by loose braking system components.

Is there a first aid kit in the Nissan X-Trail?

Nissan X-Trail does not come with a first aid kit. If needed, car owners can purchase one themselves and place it in the trunk of the vehicle. Models equipped with car first aid kits usually store them in the trunk, typically near the spare tire or next to the fire extinguishers on both sides. Below is relevant information about car first aid kits: 1. A car first aid kit is a package containing medicines and emergency equipment, primarily used for self-rescue in case of a traffic accident. So far, there are no specific regulations in China mandating that cars must be equipped with first aid kits, but some cities have included it as one of the mandatory requirements. 2. A car first aid kit generally includes triangular bandages, elastic head covers, emergency blankets, buckle-type tourniquets, medical gloves, hemostatic pads, disposable instant cold packs, band-aids, iodine swabs, isolation masks, motion sickness medicine, gauze, etc. The contents of first aid kits may vary slightly depending on the car model.

How to Use the Cruise Control in the Verano?

When the vehicle's speed reaches above 40 km/h, turn on the cruise control switch, then press the deceleration button to set the desired speed. The car will maintain the set speed, and pressing the deceleration button again will activate the cruise control function. To deactivate it, simply press the brake pedal, and it will automatically turn off. The Verano's cruise control system only works when the speed is above 40 km/h. Below are some precautions for using cruise control: 1. Do not use the speed control system on roads with heavy traffic or poor road conditions (such as slippery surfaces, loose gravel, or roads after heavy rain). 2. After the system is activated and the speed is above 40 km/h, do not shift the gear lever into neutral without pressing the clutch pedal, as this may cause the engine to over-rev and result in damage. 3. If the set cruising speed is too high compared to the current traffic conditions, do not resume the set speed.

What is the difference between Lavida sheet metal and Lingdong sheet metal?

There is no difference; the sheet metal is the same, but the operations might vary depending on different professionals. Automotive sheet metal is a technical method of car repair, where automotive sheet metal is equivalent to automotive sheet metal repair. It refers to the repair of the car body after a collision, encompassing all tasks except for the anti-corrosion and decorative spray painting of the body. More detailed information is as follows: 1. Automotive sheet metal is a processing method for car repair, also known as cold working. If the car body's exterior is damaged or deformed, the sheet metal process is required. 2. Automobile collision repair has evolved from the original 'hammering, pulling, welding, and patching' to the secondary manufacturing and assembly of the car body. The repair of collision-damaged vehicles is no longer just about hammering and shaping the sheet metal, nor can the repair quality be judged solely by visually inspecting the vehicle's appearance and gaps. Repair personnel must not only understand the car body's technical parameters and dimensions but also master the characteristics of the body materials, the transmission of force characteristics, the trend of body deformation, stress points, and the body's production processes such as welding techniques. Based on this knowledge, repair personnel also need to use advanced measuring tools to perform precise three-dimensional measurements of the car body. This helps determine the direct and indirect damage and deformation of the body, as well as potential hazards caused by body deformation, to formulate a comprehensive body repair plan. Then, by applying the correct repair techniques and accurate three-dimensional dimensional data of the body's key points, the key points of the body can be restored to their original positions, bringing the damaged body back to its factory condition.
