What does emergency braking mean?

Emergency braking refers to the driver quickly and correctly using the brakes to stop the car within the shortest possible distance when encountering an emergency situation while driving. The emergency braking system is installed at the front of the vehicle and detects obstacles ahead through radar, cameras, and sensors. If an obstacle appears in front and the driver does not brake, the car will automatically take emergency braking measures to reduce the risk of a collision. For vehicles equipped with an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), the operation method is: quickly release the accelerator pedal and immediately press the brake pedal firmly while simultaneously depressing the clutch pedal to bring the car to a rapid stop. For vehicles without an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), the operation method is: quickly release the accelerator pedal, press the brake pedal firmly, and use intermittent braking (pump the brakes) to prevent wheel lock-up, then depress the clutch at the right moment to prevent the vehicle from stalling.

Which is More Fuel-Efficient: 1.5T or 1.5L?

1.5L is more fuel-efficient. 1.5L refers to a naturally aspirated engine, while 1.5T refers to a turbocharged engine. Displacement: Displacement refers to the volume of space that the piston passes through when moving from top dead center to bottom dead center, known as cylinder displacement. Fuel-saving capability not only depends on displacement but also factors such as engine efficiency, transmission losses, vehicle weight, tires, etc. If an engine has multiple cylinders, the sum of the volumes of all cylinders is referred to as the engine displacement. Turbocharged Engine: Due to the smaller displacement of turbocharged engines, they generally have higher fuel efficiency during driving. Naturally aspirated engines tend to have a longer lifespan, while turbocharged engines offer relatively higher output power and torque.

Can a car be self-equipped with cruise control?

It is possible to install cruise control on a car by oneself. However, installing a cruise control system is not a simple component replacement. The installation may involve the engine control circuit, airbags, center console disassembly, and could even alter the original vehicle circuit and wiring layout. Therefore, it is not recommended to have it installed at external repair shops; instead, it should be done at an authorized 4S dealership. Cruise control, also known as a speed control system or autonomous driving system, functions by maintaining the vehicle speed as set by the driver without the need to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the car to travel at a constant speed.
