HDC stands for Hill Descent Control, also known as the slope control system. Here is some information about the HDC in cars: 1. HDC enables the driver to smoothly navigate steep downhill sections without the need to press the brake pedal. As needed, the braking system automatically controls each wheel to move forward slightly faster than walking speed, allowing the driver to focus entirely on steering. 2. When driving downhill, if the vehicle's speed is too fast, pressing the HDC switch forces the vehicle to descend at a controlled speed, eliminating the need for constant braking. Additional information: The principle of the HDC system is to combine engine braking with the ABS anti-lock braking system to maintain a 'low speed without losing tire traction' state when descending steep slopes.

What is the correct interpretation of PS in cars?

PS is illuminated when starting the vehicle and turns off while driving. It is the indicator light for the power steering system. If it remains lit during driving, it indicates a fault in your vehicle's power steering system. The electric power steering system is a type of power steering system that relies on an electric motor to provide auxiliary torque. Compared to traditional hydraulic power steering systems, the electric power steering system is more convenient. Depending on the installation position of the motor, it can be further classified into column-assist type, pinion-assist type, and rack-assist type. If the mechanical part of the power steering system is damaged, it needs to be repaired at a professional 4S shop. If the electronic part is damaged, the fault code should be read first, and then the cause of the fault can be identified based on the fault code. Generally, electronic faults are mostly related to the steering angle sensor. Its advantages include significantly reducing the vehicle's fuel consumption, enhancing the driver's sense of control, improving steering followability, optimizing steering return characteristics, and increasing the vehicle's stability.

What to do if the tire pressure is low?

If the tire pressure is low, you should immediately go to a 4S store or auto repair shop for inspection and repair. Tire pressure loss means the tire pressure has decreased. Low pressure will increase tire body deformation, easily causing cracks on the tire side, while generating flexing movement that leads to excessive heat and accelerates rubber aging.
