What does intermittent braking mean?

The meaning of intermittent braking is: first press the brake slightly, release the brake (but not completely) when the vehicle noticeably decelerates, and then press the brake again when the braking effect is about to fade. This cycle is repeated. Applicable objects of intermittent braking: mostly used for large vehicles without ABS and with air brakes in the past, but this braking method affects the smoothness and comfort of the vehicle. Here is some extended information: 1. Precautions: Small cars are lightweight, and if intermittent braking is not used for prolonged downhill driving, the wheel hubs will not overheat. It is not recommended to use intermittent braking for deceleration in small cars. 2. Reason for using intermittent braking: Because large vehicles are heavier, but air brakes respond faster than hydraulic brakes, intermittent braking is used to avoid locking the wheels and losing steering control. 3. The function of intermittent braking is: to prevent wheel lock-up, thereby controlling the vehicle from skidding.

Pump braking, simply put, is a braking technique we use while driving. It means lightly pressing the brake pedal and quickly tapping it a few times, rather than slamming it down all at once. This is mainly used on slippery road surfaces, such as during rain or snow when the road is slick. If you brake too hard, the wheels can easily skid or lock up, causing the car to lose control or even spin. Over my years of driving, I've encountered several slippery road conditions, and pump braking has always helped me maintain control. Essentially, pump braking is like manually mimicking an ABS system, distributing braking force to maintain control—especially important for older cars without ABS. Developing the habit of pump braking can significantly reduce the risk of accidents because sudden hard braking can cause the rear of the car to fishtail, while pump braking helps you avoid rear-end collisions. When practicing, pay attention to keeping your foot movements light and quick, avoiding excessive force, and over time, it will become a natural reflex.

Why can't the Lavida start?

Lavida can't start for the following reasons and solutions: 1. Battery dead or faulty: In low temperatures, the battery's output power decreases due to increased electrolyte viscosity, reduced permeability, and increased resistance, making it difficult for the starter to drag the engine to the minimum starting speed, affecting engine startup. Use a multimeter to check the battery voltage or directly test with a new battery. 2. Lack of fuel: Some vehicles have inaccurate fuel gauge pointers. When the fuel gauge red light is on, fuel should be added promptly. 3. Spark plug damage: Check the spark plug to see if it is aged or heavily carbon-deposited, and replace it with a new one if necessary.

Should the Plastic Film on the Sunroof Be Removed?

The plastic film on the sunroof should be removed. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. These plastic protective films are designed to protect the interior components of the car before it is sold. However, once the car is purchased and starts being used, the film should be promptly removed. Otherwise, the release of gases from the new car's interior will be hindered, prolonging the duration of unpleasant odors inside the vehicle. 2. Some manufacturers use low-quality plastic films that contain large amounts of industrial adhesives, which are a major source of formaldehyde pollution. These films can release significant amounts of formaldehyde, benzene, and other harmful substances. Formaldehyde, benzene and its derivatives, TVOC, etc., are common pollutants in the car's interior environment. These substances are toxic, and excessive inhalation by humans may lead to poisoning.

What type of fuel should a 125cc motorcycle use?

The Suzuki UY125 uses 92-octane gasoline. The appropriate fuel type depends on the engine's compression ratio rather than its displacement. For compression ratios below 9.5:1, 92-octane gasoline is most suitable. For compression ratios around 9.5:1, either 92-octane or 95-octane gasoline can be used. For compression ratios above 9.5:1, 95-octane gasoline is recommended, while compression ratios exceeding 10.0:1 should use 98-octane gasoline. Relationship between octane rating and anti-knock performance: Higher-octane gasoline offers better anti-knock performance. When the air-fuel mixture is injected into the cylinder, the piston compresses it during upward movement. As pressure increases, temperature rises. If the gasoline's anti-knock performance is insufficient, premature combustion may occur before the spark plug ignites, leading to knocking (commonly known as engine knock). Knocking not only affects engine output but can also cause damage. Selecting gasoline octane based on vehicle type: 92-octane gasoline is suitable for ordinary vehicles with lower technical specifications. 95-octane gasoline is appropriate for most vehicles. 98-octane gasoline is recommended for turbocharged vehicles and those with higher compression ratios, as it is compatible with most vehicles.

What engine does the Dongfeng Yixuan have?

Dongfeng Yixuan's engine is a gasoline engine independently developed and produced by Dongfeng, belonging to a domestically produced engine. The engine model of Dongfeng Yixuan is DFMA15, with a maximum power of 110kW, a maximum torque of 230Nm, and a maximum horsepower of 150. For daily maintenance of the Dongfeng Yixuan engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to the mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the requirements specified by the manufacturer. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid failures, the oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate. When the oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may burst the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, bringing contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from component wear to form sludge. When the amount is small, it remains suspended in the oil; when large, it precipitates from the oil, clogging the filter and oil holes, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and the engine.

What is the minimum ground clearance of the RAV4?

2020 RAV4 has a minimum ground clearance of 193mm, while the 4WD 2.5 Elite version has a minimum ground clearance of 173mm. Here is some information about minimum ground clearance: 1. Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle (excluding wheels) and the supporting surface when the vehicle is fully loaded and stationary. It is used to characterize the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as rocks and tree stumps without collision. 2. The larger the minimum ground clearance, the stronger the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the higher the center of gravity, which reduces stability. The smaller the minimum ground clearance, the weaker the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles or uneven ground, but the lower the center of gravity, which can increase stability.
