The CRUISE on the car refers to the automotive electronic cruise control system. Here is relevant information about the automotive electronic cruise control system: 1. Main components: All automotive cruise control systems consist of two basic parts: a positioning device with sensors to determine the car's current position, and a device for inputting the destination and displaying the best route to reach the destination, which is essentially a navigation device. Today, with the widespread promotion and application of GPS technology, developed countries such as those in Europe and America are making every effort to advance automotive cruise control system technology. For example, a service provided by a UK company offers CD-ROMs that cover seamless GPS for the entire UK and the entire European road network. Drivers can obtain detailed moving map guidance from the network display service provided by this company. The map will automatically zoom in when approaching turns and provide voice prompts. 2. Control principle: The automotive cruise control system is controlled by the onboard computer, which obtains data through three sensors: wheel sensors, geomagnetic sensors, and yaw sensors, to determine the car's speed and position. The wheel sensors record the speed of the wheels, and the generated pulse signals are used to calculate the travel distance and direction changes periodically. The geomagnetic sensors measure the horizontal component of the geomagnetic field along the route and compare it with the magnetic field at the starting point, providing compensation data for the onboard computer. The map storage capacity of the onboard computer must be sufficient to store all data for the car's current operating area. The onboard computer continuously compares and judges the stored road network data, correcting positioning errors to determine the optimal driving path.

Is It Safe to Install a Dash Cam to the Fuse?

It is safe to connect a dash cam to the fuse box. Below is a partial introduction to the power supply methods for dash cams: 1. Fuse box power supply: The wiring is long but concealed. It can be connected to the ACC power supply of the fuse box, using a fuse and grounding wire, which provides good safety without hidden dangers. 2. ACC power supply: This refers to the state before the car is started. If there is a key ACC position, simply turning the key to this position will power some devices with relatively low power consumption, such as the radio or cigarette lighter. When the car is turned off, the ACC power will be cut off.

Should I still press the brake when shifting to N gear at a red light?

When shifting an automatic transmission to N gear at a red light, you should press the brake if you're concerned about the car rolling. For longer red lights, it's advisable to shift to N gear and engage the handbrake without pressing the brake pedal. More detailed explanations are as follows: 1. Gear selection for automatic cars at red lights: There are generally two correct ways to shift gears when waiting at a red light in an automatic car, depending on the duration of the red light, which typically ranges from 20 to 100 seconds. If the red light is less than 30 seconds, you can stay in D gear, press the brake, and release it to accelerate when the light turns green. For red lights longer than 30 seconds, it's better to shift from D to N gear and engage the handbrake without pressing the brake. Therefore, the gear selection can be determined based on the expected duration of the red light. 2. Explanation of pressing the brake in D gear: Temporarily stopping and pressing the brake while in D gear does not harm the car. This is because the torque converter in the transmission is equipped with a reaction wheel with a one-way clutch, which amplifies the torque from the engine crankshaft. It doesn't rotate at idle speed and only functions when the engine speed increases. Therefore, it's fine to press the brake at a red light, and shifting to N gear and engaging the handbrake is also acceptable. The advantage is that it allows the right foot to rest briefly and relax appropriately.

What Causes the Squeaking Noise When Depressing the Clutch?

Abnormal noises when depressing the clutch may be caused by worn clutch plates or broken clutch pressure plate springs, in which case the clutch plates or pressure plate springs need to be replaced. Below is an introduction to automotive clutches: 1. Overview: The automotive clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch serves as the input shaft of the transmission. 2. Function: During vehicle operation, the driver can depress or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power input from the engine to the transmission.
