What does automatic parking assist mean in a car?

Automatic parking system is a system that can park the car without manual intervention. The introduction of automatic parking is as follows: Principle of automatic parking assist: Radar sensors around the vehicle measure the distance and angle between the vehicle and surrounding objects. The onboard computer then calculates the operation process and adjusts the steering wheel rotation in coordination with the vehicle speed. The driver only needs to control the vehicle speed. Limitations of automatic parking assist: Environmental conditions have certain impacts on parking space measurement and the parking process. For example, when leaves, debris, or snow cover the curb, the parking steering assist system may have difficulty recognizing the curb. When approaching a closed gate at a courtyard entrance, the system may mistake it for an ideal parking space. If there are small-sized traffic warning poles in the parking space, the system may fail to recognize them and consider the space as a valid parking spot. Reducing vehicle speed can help improve the system's probability of identifying small-sized objects in parking spaces.

As a veteran driver with over 20 years of experience, I can't praise the automatic parking assist system enough. Simply put, it's a feature that allows your car to automatically park itself into a parking spot. The system is equipped with various sensors like radars or cameras around the vehicle. When it detects a suitable parking space, it prompts you to press the activation button, then the car will steer itself and park with precision while you just need to control the speed by braking. I still remember my first time using it in an underground shopping mall garage - the space was incredibly tight and manual parking would've been exhausting, but the system succeeded in one go, saving me so much hassle. This feature is particularly beneficial for urban drivers, helping avoid scrapes and reducing mental stress during parking. However, a word of caution: the system might malfunction in heavy rain or if the sensors get covered with mud, so always stay alert to your surroundings when using it. Overall, it significantly enhances the driving experience and is truly a blessing from modern technology.

As a young driver who just got my license, I'm fascinated by exploring new automotive technologies. Automatic parking assist is an intelligent system that allows the car to park itself into a space. When the system detects an available parking spot, it guides you through a few simple operations, then automatically steers the car into reverse while you just control the throttle and brake to maintain speed. Compared to my clumsy attempts at parallel parking during driving tests where I kept hitting curbs, this feature makes parking effortless. I've tried it in crowded mall parking lots where it swiftly parks the car without hesitation, saving tremendous time and effort. It's particularly helpful for beginners like me to reduce stress and make parking enjoyable. But be mindful of environmental factors - fog or dirt may cause misjudgment, which regular sensor cleaning can prevent. Overall, such smart features represent the future of driving, making daily commutes more convenient and efficient.

Can 15w40 engine oil be used in sedans?

15w40 engine oil can be used in sedans. The grade of engine oil is established to distinguish different operating conditions in various environments. As long as the viscosity performance and various indicators of the engine oil meet the standards set by the original vehicle, it can be used. Introduction to engine oil: 1. 15w40 engine oil is a multi-grade oil, where 15W represents the minimum operating temperature of the oil, which is -25°C for 15W oil; while 40 represents the maximum operating temperature of the oil. The higher the number, the greater the viscosity and the higher the applicable maximum temperature. 2. Excessive oil viscosity can increase engine operating resistance and wear.

Is it okay to change engine oil without replacing the oil filter?

It is not okay to change engine oil without replacing the oil filter. The method for changing engine oil is: 1. Lift the vehicle, remove the protective plate, and place a container under the oil drain plug; 2. Unscrew the oil drain plug, use an air gun to blow for two minutes at the oil filler port, tighten the oil drain plug after draining, and wipe it with a tissue to check for oil leaks; 3. Reinstall the protective plate, lower the vehicle, and add oil at the filler port. The functions of engine oil are: 1. To alleviate friction and high temperatures; 2. To reduce gas leakage and prevent external pollutants; 3. To prevent contact between water, air, acidic harmful gases, and parts; 4. To buffer the pressure rise at the engine cylinder port; 5. To flush away dirt generated on the working surfaces of parts.
