Handbrake: The professional term for a handbrake is an auxiliary brake. Unlike the principle of the brake, it uses a steel wire cable connected to the rear brake material body to brake the vehicle. Below is the relevant introduction: 1. Working Principle: Its principle involves using a steel wire cable connected to the rear brake shoe to brake the vehicle. 2. Function: It is used for braking when parking on flat or sloped surfaces, preventing the vehicle from automatically sliding when unattended, thereby avoiding accidents. 3. Extended Information: Handbrakes are mainly divided into electronic handbrakes and mechanical handbrakes. The difference between the two is that the electronic handbrake reduces the mechanical cable in the middle, using an electrical switch signal for wheel braking, which allows for greater expansion space.

Is the Honda Gienia engine compliant with China 6 emission standards?

The Honda Gienia engine is not compliant with China 6 emission standards; it meets the China 5 emission standard. The Honda Gienia's engine is manufactured by Dongfeng Honda. The Honda Gienia uses the L15B5 engine model, which delivers a maximum horsepower of 131 HP, a maximum power output of 96 KW at 6600 rpm, and a peak torque of 155 N.m. For daily maintenance of the Honda Gienia's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will degrade over time. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, leading to various engine issues. To prevent malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, the filter may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass the filter and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. In small amounts, it remains suspended in the oil; in large amounts, it precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to flush the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates properly but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.

What car brand does the HAVAL logo represent?

HAVAL is the logo of the Haval brand. Haval is an SUV brand under Great Wall Motors, positioned as a CUV model (City-Utility-Vehicle), which translates to Urban Multi-Purpose Vehicle in Chinese. The English name for Haval is HOVER, symbolizing free soaring. More details about Haval cars are as follows: 1. Due to batch exports to the European Union starting in 2006, the brand gained some influence in the international market. However, the original English name had already been registered in many countries. Therefore, a new word "HAVAL" was chosen, which has no actual meaning in English and ensures more consistent global pronunciation. The brand intended to imbue it with the meaning of "have all" (omnipotent), which is the origin of the "HAVAL" logo. 2. The Haval series mainly includes models such as IF, M1, M2, M4, H1, H2, H3, H5, H6, H7, H8, H9, the pure electric SUV Haval E, and several practical pickup trucks.
