Releasing the handbrake refers to the action of disengaging the mechanical handbrake when starting the car, as failure to do so can lead to wear and tear on the braking system hardware and even cause the engine to stall. Below is an introduction to the handbrake: 1. Function of the handbrake: The parking brake, commonly known as the handbrake, provides resistance to the car when parked, preventing it from rolling. The parking brake, whether manual or the parking gear in automatic transmissions, locks the drive shaft or rear wheels. 2. Smart AUTOHOLD Auto Hold function: The Smart AUTOHOLD Auto Hold function automatically engages four-wheel braking when the car is stopped at traffic lights or on slopes. To release the stationary state, simply press the accelerator lightly to disengage the brake.

Do new cars come with a jack and tools?

Jack and tools are essential configurations. Below are the specific details about car jacks: 1. Application Scope: Jacks have a wide range of applications, not only for cars but also for many industrial equipment that require this lightweight lifting device. The common working scenario for car jacks is tire replacement. If you experience a flat or burst tire on a highway or in a remote area and cannot wait for timely rescue, you will have to replace it yourself. 2. Jack Classification: Currently, mechanical and hydraulic jacks are commonly used. The former is lightweight and easy to carry, but due to its small size, its lifting capacity and stability are slightly weaker. 3. Usage Precautions: In most cases, the jack is placed on the raised position of the side beam near the tire to be replaced, with the grooved end of the jack fitting securely into place. Before lifting, it is best to loosen the nuts of the tire to be removed by one turn before raising the jack.

Avoid prolonged outdoor parking: Avoid leaving the car parked in an open-air parking lot for extended periods. If long-term parking is necessary, remove the battery to prevent freezing damage. 2. Charge regularly: A battery left unused for a long time will slowly self-discharge and eventually become unusable. Therefore, start the car periodically to charge the battery. 3. Avoid using electrical devices when the engine is off: After turning off the engine, avoid using car electrical devices.
