Vehicle control system refers to a system that assists drivers in operating the vehicle or replaces the driver for autonomous driving. It mainly consists of two parts: driving safety alarm systems, and driving automation and autonomous driving systems. This system can accurately determine the distance between the vehicle and obstacles through radar or infrared detectors installed at the front and sides of the car. In emergency situations, the onboard computer will promptly issue alarms or even automatically brake to avoid collisions, and adjust the vehicle speed according to road conditions, earning it the nickname "smart car". Currently, there are over 3,000 companies in the United States engaged in the research, development, and manufacturing of highly intelligent vehicles, and high-tech products such as automatic constant speed controllers and infrared intelligent navigation devices have already been introduced. Body electronic control system includes automotive safety, comfort control, and information communication systems. It is mainly used to enhance the safety, comfort, and convenience of the vehicle. Examples of features that enhance vehicle safety include: central anti-theft door locks, airbags, seat belts; while those that enhance comfort include: seat controls, adaptive air conditioning, etc.

The control system is like the super supervisor of a car. As a frequent visitor to repairs, I deal with it every day. It uses computers and sensors to continuously monitor the car's condition, such as monitoring the fuel injection system, automatically adjusting the engine's operation based on factors like speed and temperature to ensure efficient combustion and reduced emissions. Without this system, the car might not run properly, and fuel consumption could skyrocket. In terms of safety, it also manages the anti-lock braking system, for example, automatically controlling braking force on slippery roads to prevent skidding. When I usually check for faults, I use a scanner to read its data, which helps quickly locate issues like sensor failures. Overall, it makes driving smoother, more fuel-efficient, and safer, serving as the intelligent core of modern cars.

How to Clean the Inside of Car Windows?

Here are the methods to clean the inside of car windows: 1. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dirt from the inner window glass grooves, then spray a specialized glass cleaner onto a soft cloth and gently wipe the glass until it shines. Pay attention to removing dust from the gaps. Evenly spray a glass anti-fogging agent, let it dry, and then wipe it clean. Oil stains, fingerprints, tobacco tar, dust, and other stubborn stains on the inner side of the window glass can dirty the windows, obstruct vision, and affect driving safety, so regular cleaning is necessary. 2. Toothpaste can be used for cleaning. Toothpaste has strong stain-removing capabilities, can eliminate oil films, and also has a polishing effect. If dirt on car windows is wiped with a towel, it is not only difficult to clean but also prone to scratches during the process. First, wet the window glass with water, then use toothpaste to clean the dirt. Toothpaste can effectively dissolve dirt; gently scrub with a sponge and rinse clean.

Highway Driving at Night: High Beam or Low Beam?

Highway driving at night can be done with either high beam or low beam headlights. Precautions for using high beams on highways are as follows: 1. Do not use high beams when entering tunnels. The significant difference in light levels inside and outside tunnels may temporarily impair the driver's vision and reduce reaction capability. Using high beams in tunnels can be dangerous, and since tunnels are already illuminated, high beams are unnecessary. 2. Avoid using high beams in rainy or foggy conditions. High beam light scatters in fog and rain, affecting the driver's visibility. 3. Prolonged use of high beams can cause faster eye fatigue and may lead to visual illusions. When driving on highways at night, avoid continuous use of high beams; adjust your headlights according to different situations.

Why does the dashboard light come on when stepping on the car brake?

When the dashboard light comes on while stepping on the car brake, it indicates a brake pad warning. Solution: It is necessary to go to a 4S shop for inspection and repair as soon as possible. More information about the dashboard light coming on when stepping on the brake is as follows: 1. Red light: It warns that the vehicle should not be driven, usually due to lack of brake fluid or the handbrake not being fully released. 2. Yellow light: The severity is lower, and the vehicle can continue to be driven, but it needs to be repaired as soon as possible. Possible causes include insufficient brake pad thickness or ABS system failure. 3. Principle of brake function: It converts the kinetic energy of the car into heat energy to consume it. The kinetic energy comes from the power provided by the engine, which requires fuel combustion to provide the work.

How to Prevent Car Battery from Dying in Winter?

Methods to prevent car battery from dying in winter are as follows: 1. Turn off all electrical equipment after parking and check for any power leakage. The more electrical loads a car has, the higher the possibility of power leakage. To prevent the battery from draining too early, it is necessary to eliminate potential leakage hazards; after parking, turn off all electrical devices (dash cams, radios, audio systems, lights, navigation systems, etc.), and use a multimeter to check for any power leakage. 2. Manually charge the battery. Regularly charging the battery to reduce the state of discharge can extend its service life. 3. Clean the oxides on the battery terminals. Over time, white oxides may form on the battery terminals, affecting current flow or directly causing poor terminal contact, which worsens the already declining battery performance in winter and makes it difficult to start the car. If there are oxides, consider rinsing them with boiling water, wiping them clean with a cloth, and then applying grease.
