Consequences of driving with the parking brake engaged: 1. The rear brake discs overheat, producing a burning smell. In severe cases, the brake discs may turn red, leading to significant brake fade and reduced braking performance. 2. Severe wear on the brake pads, shortening their lifespan. 3. Noticeable increase in fuel consumption, sluggish acceleration, and a dragging sensation when releasing the throttle. 4. Uneven tire wear. Even on the same vehicle, the braking capacity of the four tires is not identical, resulting in uneven tire wear. 5. Increased temperature of the brake fluid, leading to reduced braking performance.

What to Do When the Car Headlight Cover Turns Yellow?

Methods to deal with yellowing car headlight covers: 1. Clean with soapy water; 2. Sand and polish. Car headlights, also known as car front lights or car LED daytime running lights, serve as the eyes of the car, not only affecting the owner's external image but also closely related to safe driving at night or in bad weather conditions. Car headlights consist of front lights, rear lights, turn signals, and license plate lights. Lights play a crucial role in the safe operation of the vehicle. The combined front headlights at the front of the car are mainly used for illumination and signal transmission, while the combined tail lights at the rear of the car are primarily for illumination and signal transmission. Rear lights generally consist of rear position lights, reverse lights, brake lights, rear fog lights, rear turn signals, and retroreflectors.

What is the appropriate color temperature for headlights?

The color temperature of headlights should be between 3500K and 5000K, with 4300K being the optimal choice for illumination effectiveness. Excessively high color temperatures tend to emit a bluish hue, and even higher temperatures may produce a purple tint, which significantly reduces visibility in hazy weather conditions. This can impair a driver's ability to clearly see the road ahead, while simultaneously dazzling oncoming drivers or pedestrians, thereby increasing the risk of traffic accidents. Color temperature serves as a standard metric for evaluating the spectral quality of a light source, defined in relation to an ideal black body radiator. When the visible radiation spectrum of a light source perfectly matches that of an absolute black body, the temperature of the black body at that point corresponds to the color temperature of the light source.
