The automatic parking of a vehicle refers to an automatic braking function that allows the driver to avoid unnecessary sliding of the vehicle without the need for prolonged braking when the electronic parking brake is engaged. The working principle of automatic parking: This function is developed from the ESP module. During this process, the ECU computer uses sensors installed on the vehicle to obtain the levelness of the car body and the torque of the wheels, thereby determining whether braking is needed to prevent the car from rolling. The braking force applied to the wheels is not very strong, just enough to prevent the vehicle from moving, so that when the accelerator is pressed again to move forward, there will not be too severe jerking.

I used to have to keep pressing the brake pedal at red lights when driving my old car, but after switching to a car with auto hold, the experience was completely upgraded. Now, when waiting at a red light, just press the brake pedal firmly, and when the green indicator appears on the dashboard, it means the system is activated. At this point, I can take my foot off the brake pedal, and the car stays firmly stopped on its own. To start moving again, just lightly tap the accelerator, and it automatically releases—super effortless. Once, while queuing on a slope in an underground mall parking lot, this feature was a lifesaver, eliminating worries about rolling back and rear-ending. Auto hold relies on the electronic system to control brake pressure, essentially having the computer hold the handbrake for you. It's not the same as a traditional mechanical handbrake but is much simpler to operate.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Grand Commander?

The Grand Commander has 4 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 70L. All vehicles are equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and a 9-speed automatic transmission. Except for the Grand Commander 2022 2.0T 4WD Luxury Edition and the Grand Commander 2022 2.0T 4WD Flagship Edition, which feature front-engine four-wheel drive, the other models are front-engine front-wheel drive. Among vehicles in the same class, the Highlander 2022 has a fuel tank capacity of 65 liters, the BMW X1-2022 has a capacity of 61 liters, and the Audi Q3-2022 has a capacity of 60 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe height, and there is additional space from the safe height to the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling amount may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the dashboard, marked with E and F. When the pointer is near E, it indicates low fuel, and when it is close to F, it means the fuel level is sufficient.

What does the button with an A and a circle in Mercedes-Benz cars do?

The button with an A and a circle in Mercedes-Benz cars refers to the Auto Hold function, which is an extension of the electronic parking brake. Controlled by the ESP component, it manages the braking of all four wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling. When the vehicle reaches a certain speed and brakes to a stop, if the brake pedal is held down for 1-2 seconds, the engine will automatically shut off. Releasing the brake pedal and pressing the accelerator will restart the engine. This function is commonly used at traffic lights to reduce engine idling time, emissions, and carbon buildup. This feature is typically paired with the electronic parking brake and is not enabled by default—it requires manual activation. The Auto Hold system essentially automates the parking brake function. Its basic operation involves the brake management system using the extended functionality of the electronic parking brake to control the four-wheel brakes. For the auto start-stop function to work, certain conditions must be met: the engine coolant temperature must reach at least 85 degrees Celsius, and the engine oil must also be at operating temperature. The Auto Hold function prevents the vehicle from rolling backward, making it particularly useful on slopes and during frequent stops and starts. The Auto Hold system, together with the electronic parking brake (officially known as the electromechanical parking brake), forms an intelligent braking control system. This integrates temporary braking during driving with long-term parking braking, all managed electronically. The electronic parking brake uses electronic control to achieve parking braking. Its working principle is similar to that of a mechanical handbrake—both rely on friction between the brake disc and brake pads to control parking braking. However, the control mechanism shifts from a mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. This extends the braking control system from basic parking functions to include Auto Hold. After starting the car, the auto start-stop function enters an active mode. For example, when approaching a traffic light, pressing the brake for 1-2 seconds after stopping will automatically shut off the engine. To restart, lightly pressing the accelerator or turning the steering wheel will reactivate the engine. In some manual transmission cars, the system detects actions like pressing the clutch, shifting to neutral, or pulling the handbrake to determine when to shut off the engine. Pressing the clutch again will restart the engine. However, in congested traffic, slow forward movement, parking maneuvers, or steep uphill driving, it may be advisable to disable this function. When driving through water, always remember to turn off this feature to prevent water from entering the exhaust pipe and engine, which could cause the engine to fail to start.

How many times can you take the Subject 1 exam for free?

There is no limit to the number of times you can take the Subject 1 driving test. The "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" clearly stipulates that you can take the Subject 1 exam twice on the same day. If you fail the first attempt, you can take a free make-up exam for the second time. If you still fail the second attempt, the Subject 1 exam is terminated, and you can only schedule another exam after ten days. Subject 1, also known as the Subject 1 theory test or driver theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driving license assessment. The exam content includes driving theory basics, road safety laws and regulations, local regulations, and other related knowledge. The exam is conducted on a computer with a time limit of 45 minutes. A passing score for Subject 1 is 90 points. The test consists of 100 questions, divided into single-choice and true/false questions, with each question worth 1 point and a total score of 100 points. If you answer 11 questions incorrectly during the exam, the system will automatically submit the test and end the exam. Subject 1 exam content: Driving license and motor vehicle management regulations; Road traffic conditions and regulations; Road traffic safety violations and penalties; Road traffic accident handling regulations; Basic knowledge of motor vehicles; Local regulations; Knowledge of braking systems and safety devices for large and medium-sized passenger and freight vehicles; Specialized knowledge for wheeled self-propelled machinery, trams, and trolleybuses. Subject 1 exam precautions: During the exam, candidates should pay attention to their attire—no sandals are allowed. Electronic devices and bags are not permitted in the exam room. Bring your ID card and queue to enter the waiting hall. Observe the precautions and procedures on the large screen, and store personal belongings in a locker before entering the exam room. Upon entering, verify your identity at the assigned seat and begin the exam. Ensure the camera is aligned with you and follow exam discipline. If you fail the first attempt, you can take a make-up exam on the same day. If you fail again, you must pay to reschedule. After the exam, queue to collect your score report and sign it. Failure to sign will render the result invalid. There is no limit to the number of times you can schedule the Subject 1 exam. Each subject exam can be taken once, with one make-up attempt if you fail. If you do not take the make-up exam or fail it, the exam is terminated, and the applicant must reschedule. In contrast, Subject 2 and Subject 3 have only five exam attempts. Subject 2 and Subject 3 exams must be scheduled ten days later. If you fail the Subject 3 safe and civilized driving knowledge test, the previously passed road driving skills test scores remain valid. There are three subjects in the driving test: Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3. Subject 1 refers to the road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge exam. Subject 2 refers to the field driving skills exam. Subject 3 is divided into two parts: road driving skills and safe and civilized driving knowledge. The safe and civilized driving knowledge test is conducted after Subject 3, so it is commonly referred to as Subject 4. However, the official term (i.e., the Ministry of Public Security’s Order No. 123) does not include the term "Subject 4."
