This prompt is a function of ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control), specifically the active braking system. When this prompt appears, a small car icon will be displayed in the central screen area of the instrument panel. For color screens, the display will be in red, while monochrome screens will simply show a car icon. If the following distance becomes too close, the system will directly prompt 'Please Press the Brake Pedal'. Below is detailed information about the brake pedal: 1. Introduction: The brake pedal, as the name suggests, is the pedal that limits power - it's the pedal for the foot brake (service brake), used for deceleration and stopping. It's one of the five major control components in vehicle operation, with very high frequency of use. How the driver controls it directly affects driving safety. 2. Location: The brake pedal is what's commonly referred to as the 'brake'. There's a small pedal connected to the brake lever above the brake, hence it's also called the 'brake pedal'. There's also a small pedal above the clutch, called the clutch pedal. The clutch is on the left, while the brake is on the right (aligned with the accelerator, with the accelerator being on the right).

Under What Circumstances Should a Wheel Alignment Be Performed?

When driving, if you experience heavy steering, shaking, pulling to one side, misalignment, or the steering wheel not returning to center, or if you notice abnormal tire wear such as uneven wear, scalloped wear, block wear, or cupping, as well as sensations of floating, bumpiness, or swaying while driving, a wheel alignment should be performed. Here are the details: 1. Tire pressure and tread wear: Uneven tire wear indicates a problem with the tires, steering system, or suspension. 2. Wheel wobble: Wobble is a condition where the tire rotates unevenly due to various reasons. Wheel and tire wobble refers to irregular up-and-down or side-to-side movement. Side-to-side movement is known as lateral wobble, while up-and-down movement is referred to as radial wobble. Vibration issues related to wobble can only be resolved by identifying the source of the wobble. 3. Vehicle pulling: Pulling occurs when the vehicle drifts to one side while driving straight on a level road with no external force applied to the steering wheel.

How to Spray Windshield Washer Fluid?

The method to spray windshield washer fluid is to pull the wiper control lever (the lever on the right side of the steering wheel) toward the driver to activate the spray. Below is relevant information: 1. If you use it frequently, check the washer fluid level. If it is too low, refill it promptly to avoid dry wiping. When the windshield transparency becomes poor, especially during nighttime driving, dust on the glass can scatter light. In such cases, spraying washer fluid helps maintain optimal windshield clarity. 2. Some vehicle models allow adjustment of the wiper's automatic intermittent operation frequency, which varies based on vehicle speed—when the wiper lever is set to "automatic intermittent wiping," the wiper adjusts its frequency according to the selected setting and vehicle speed. There are two main types of adjustment mechanisms for wiper frequency: toggle-style and rotary knob-style.

How many hours does it take to charge a dead car battery?

If you want to charge a dead battery using the engine, it will take a total of 20 hours. Here is the relevant information: 1. If you intend to charge a dead battery using the engine, take a 12V60Ah battery as an example. The charging method adopts constant voltage and current limiting mode, with 14.8V constant voltage and 15A current limiting for 16 hours, followed by 3A constant current charging for 4 hours, totaling 20 hours. The required charging time is relatively long. 2. If the battery dies while driving, you can pull over before the vehicle becomes immobile and seek help from other drivers to charge your car battery by jump-starting with jumper cables between the two vehicles. Alternatively, you can call a tow truck to transport the car to the nearest repair shop for battery charging.

How to Retrieve a Card Inside the Car Door Without Dismantling It?

You can try using an iron wire hook at the drainage hole located at the bottom of the door to see if the card can be hooked out. Here is some relevant information: 1. There is a drainage hole inside the car door. If a card blocks the drainage hole inside the door, it can cause more serious malfunctions. Therefore, when a card falls into the door, it needs to be retrieved as soon as possible. 2. The car door provides access for the driver and passengers and isolates external interference. To some extent, it also reduces side impacts and protects the occupants. The aesthetics of the car are also related to the design of the door. The quality of a car door is mainly reflected in its anti-collision performance, sealing performance, ease of opening and closing, and of course, other functional indicators.

What are the regulations for reflective stickers on trucks?

Truck body and tail reflective stickers must start and end with white units, and the intersecting parts at the four corners of the truck tail must be white units. Genuine reflective stickers should bear the manufacturer's logo, 3C certification mark, and product information. The absence of these details indicates counterfeit products. Additional specifications for truck reflective stickers are as follows: 1. Truck rear: Reflective stickers should commence with white units, with corner intersections being white units, ideally displaying the rear's width and height, and must conclude with white units. 2. Truck side: Reflective stickers should start with red units, but the final unit near the tail must be white. While side stickers may have breaks, the total length (excluding gaps) must exceed 50% of the truck's side length. 3. Notes: Trucks lacking reflective stickers on sides or lower rear may receive a warning and a fine under 200 RMB if caught by traffic police.

What is the meaning of automotive OBD?

Automotive OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics. Here is relevant information: 1. This system continuously monitors the operating conditions of the engine and the working status of the exhaust after-treatment system. Once it detects conditions that may cause excessive emissions, it will immediately issue a warning. 2. The On-Board Diagnostics system can also detect the working conditions of the engine's electronic control system and other functional modules of the vehicle during operation. When a fault occurs in the system, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or Check Engine warning light will illuminate. Meanwhile, the OBD system will store the fault information in memory, and relevant information can be read in the form of fault codes through standard diagnostic instruments and diagnostic interfaces.
