What Does Brake Assist Mean?

Brake assist system, abbreviated as "ABS", monitors the frequency and force with which the driver presses the brake pedal. In critical moments, it assists the driver in applying greater braking force to the vehicle, thereby reducing the braking distance. The reason for the existence of the brake assist system: Although the anti-lock braking system (ABS) on the vehicle can shorten the braking distance and prevent the vehicle from losing control during braking, thereby reducing the likelihood of accidents, in emergency braking situations, drivers often fail to quickly trigger the ABS due to insufficient decisiveness or inadequate pedal force, wasting braking time and failing to achieve the desired effect. The brake assist system compensates for this shortcoming of ABS. By utilizing sensors on the throttle and brake systems, it assesses the driver's operation of the throttle and brake pedals. When it detects that the driver suddenly presses the brake pedal with extreme speed and force, it is judged as requiring emergency braking, and the system then pressurizes the braking system to enhance and generate the strongest braking force, allowing the vehicle and its occupants to quickly escape from danger. The role of the brake assist system: It is used to prevent wheel lock-up when the brakes are applied. The moment the car experiences wheel slip, rollover, or loss of tire traction, while reducing engine speed, it purposefully applies braking control to individual wheels, ultimately guiding the car back onto the normal driving path, thereby avoiding the dangers caused by loss of control.

When to Start the Engine in Subject Three?

After getting into the vehicle and completing all preparatory work, the examinee should wait for the examiner's instruction before starting the engine. Additional Information: 1. Subject Three, which includes the Road Driving Skills Test and the Safe and Civilized Driving Knowledge Test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. It is the abbreviated term for the Road Driving Skills and Safe and Civilized Driving Knowledge Test in the motor vehicle driver's examination. The content of the Road Driving Skills Test varies depending on the type of vehicle being licensed. 2. The Road Driving Skills Test in Subject Three generally includes: vehicle preparation, simulated lighting test, starting, driving in a straight line, gear shifting operations, lane changing, pulling over, proceeding straight through intersections, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, crossing pedestrian crosswalks, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting oncoming vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and nighttime driving. 3. The Safe and Civilized Driving Knowledge Test generally includes: requirements for safe and civilized driving operations, safe driving knowledge under adverse weather and complex road conditions, emergency handling methods for situations like tire blowouts, and post-accident handling knowledge.

What Causes the Engine to Make Loud Noises When Exceeding 60 mph?

Here are the specific reasons why the engine makes loud noises when exceeding 60 mph: Engine Mount Deterioration: The abnormal noise caused by rough engine operation due to deteriorated engine mounts. This noise occurs because the fuel injection timing is too early, and the fuel injection advance angle should be readjusted. Engine Misfire: The engine noise follows a certain pattern, accompanied by unstable engine speed and intermittent black smoke emissions. This uneven noise is caused by diesel leakage from the fuel injector, and the injector should be serviced. Engine Knocking: The exhaust pipe produces continuous backfiring sounds during exhaust, along with black smoke and overheating of the exhaust pipe. Starting the engine becomes difficult, and the backfiring sound reduces at low speeds. This abnormal noise is due to excessively delayed fuel injection timing, and the exhaust pipe position should be adjusted promptly.

What kind of engine oil should be used for German car maintenance?

German car maintenance recommends using Castrol brand fully synthetic engine oil. Higher requirements for engine oil: German cars have higher requirements for engine oil. German cars include Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, etc. German cars generally have high internal engine working pressure and high temperature, so they have higher requirements for engine oil. Viscosity requirements: Most German cars require a viscosity of 5w-30 or 5w-40, and most German cars require a viscosity of 30 or above. 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, 25W, the symbol W represents winter. The smaller the number before W, the lower the low-temperature viscosity, the better the low-temperature fluidity, and the lower the applicable minimum temperature; 20, 30, 40, 50, the larger the number, the higher the viscosity, and the higher the applicable maximum temperature.

Why is the 'Study to Reduce Points' program not available in Changzhou?

Changzhou's 'Study to Reduce Points' program is still available. You need to register, complete real-name authentication, and bind a vehicle under your name. After successful authentication, you can enter the 'Study to Reduce Points' module to participate in learning and exams. Purpose of the 'Study to Reduce Points' program: The 'Study to Reduce Points' program is designed to reduce existing demerit points on your driver's license, not to add points or replace penalty points for traffic violations. The points obtained through this program are used to clear demerit records. For example, if you were penalized with 6 points for a violation, passing the 'Study to Reduce Points' exam would clear these 6 points, allowing you to start fresh. Regulations for the 'Study to Reduce Points' program: The number of points you can still deduct after participating in the program depends on how many points you had before the study, but the total accumulated points cannot exceed 11. Regardless of participation in the program, a driver's license only has 12 points. The 'Study to Reduce Points' program can only reduce existing demerit points on the license, not increase the total points to 18.

How many kilometers for the first maintenance of the Jog i?

The first maintenance for the Jog i is at 300 kilometers. The relevant introduction of the first maintenance is as follows: The timing of the first maintenance varies by vehicle: It is usually performed after driving 1000-3000 kilometers. The car must attend the first maintenance on time, neither earlier nor later. Completing the first maintenance indicates that the vehicle's break-in period has ended, and it can be driven according to the vehicle's specified standards and normal speed. The first maintenance time starts from the date of vehicle pickup. First maintenance items: The most important aspect of the first maintenance for a new car is not just changing the oil, but also conducting a comprehensive inspection and diagnosis of the car's condition and usage. There are many items to check during the full vehicle inspection, mainly including whether the headlights are working, whether the high beams are functioning normally, their brightness and height, and whether the turn signals are all working; whether the wipers clean effectively; the sealing of the rubber strips; whether there is any noise from the sunroof; whether the hinges of the doors are sufficiently lubricated; the tire pressure, whether the pressure in all four tires is normal, etc. All these need to be checked.

Where is the fuel gauge on the Harley X48?

Harley X48 fuel gauge is located on the dashboard. Function of fuel gauge: The fuel gauge on the Harley X48 is used to indicate the amount of fuel remaining in the tank. It consists of a fuel level indicator with a voltage regulator and a fuel level sensor. The low fuel warning device is designed to illuminate immediately when the fuel level in the tank falls below a certain threshold, alerting the rider to the low fuel condition. Types of fuel gauges: There are two types of fuel gauges: analog and digital. The analog fuel gauge uses a pointer to indicate the fuel level, with the letters E and F marked on the gauge. F stands for full, and E stands for empty. When the fuel icon lights up, it indicates that the remaining fuel is low and needs to be refueled as soon as possible. The digital fuel gauge displays the remaining fuel through illuminated segments. The more segments that are lit, the more fuel remains. When only 1-2 segments are lit, it indicates low fuel and requires timely refueling.
