The parking brake lever is a control device that enables the vehicle to remain stationary on the ground or a plane without relative movement. Below is an introduction to related content: 1. Auto Hold: The foreign name for auto hold is AUTO-HOLD, which refers to an automatic braking function. When this function is activated, such as when stopping at a traffic light, it eliminates the need to pull the handbrake, simplifying operations by avoiding the use of a manual or electronic handbrake. For automatic transmission models, it also reduces the need for frequent shifting between D to N or D to P. 2. Precautions: Regardless of the parking situation, it is essential to develop the habit of firmly pulling the handbrake lever when leaving the vehicle. When using the handbrake, the lever must be pulled tight; otherwise, it is easy to forget to release it when starting the vehicle, which can lead to severe wear on the rear brake pads if the vehicle is driven with the handbrake engaged.

What Causes the Upper Radiator Hose to Be Hot While the Lower One Is Cold?

The reasons for the upper radiator hose being hot while the lower one is cold include insufficient engine coolant temperature, thermostat failure, and water pump failure. Water pump failure: The high-temperature coolant from the engine enters the radiator through the thermostat. After being cooled by the radiator, it is drawn back into the engine by the water pump to participate in the cooling cycle. When the water pump fails, the coolant pressure in the radiator is insufficient, preventing it from entering the engine block for cooling circulation, resulting in the upper hose being hot and the lower hose cold. Repairing or replacing the water pump can resolve this issue. Thermostat failure: When the thermostat malfunctions, it fails to open even after the engine coolant reaches the target temperature, remaining in the closed state. This leads to the upper hose being hot and the lower hose cold. Replacing the thermostat can fix the problem. Insufficient engine coolant temperature: The thermostat is usually installed on the upper radiator hose. When the engine temperature is too low, the thermostat remains closed. The high-temperature coolant stops flowing toward the radiator upon reaching the thermostat, causing the upper hose to be hot. Meanwhile, the lower hose carries low-temperature coolant drawn by the water pump from the radiator, which does not participate in the cooling cycle, resulting in the lower hose being cold. It is advisable to visit a 4S shop for professional repair.

Why Are Tires at 4S Stores So Expensive?

4S stores themselves require significant capital investment, which makes tire prices higher compared to ordinary auto parts markets or repair shops. Here is an introduction to automotive tire-related content: 1. Cushioning Impact: Automotive tires are one of the important components of a car, directly in contact with the road surface, and together with the car suspension, they cushion the impact received during driving. 2. Comfort: Ensuring the car has good ride comfort and smooth driving, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improving the car's traction, braking, and off-road capability, and bearing the weight of the car.

Does the 4S store's on-road price include purchase tax?

4S store's on-road price includes purchase tax. Normally, the on-road price includes all taxes and fees, including licensing, purchase tax, insurance, etc. Below is an introduction to the relevant content of vehicle purchase tax: 1. Calculation formula: Purchase tax = Total car price + (1 + 13%) x 10%. 2. Content: Vehicle purchase tax is a tax levied on units and individuals who purchase specified vehicles within China. 3. Tax basis: Vehicle purchase tax is calculated using the ad valorem rate method and is levied outside the price. The price of the taxable vehicle, i.e., the tax calculation price, becomes the tax basis for vehicle purchase tax.

What are the penalties for illegal parking?

Illegal parking will result in a fine. If the driver is present, the traffic police can point out the violation and issue a verbal warning, instructing the driver to leave immediately. Generally, the driver only needs to leave quickly without facing a fine. If the driver is not present, in addition to issuing a fine and a ticket, the traffic police department has the authority to tow the vehicle to a location that does not obstruct traffic or to a designated parking area by the traffic management authorities. More relevant information is as follows: Note 1: No points will be deducted for illegal parking, but different fines may be imposed depending on the situation, or the penalty may be waived. If the parking obstructs other vehicles or pedestrians, the traffic police have the right to tow the vehicle. Note 2: If the traffic police issue a ticket for illegal parking and the owner is nearby and willing to cooperate by moving the vehicle, the penalty may be waived. After all, the fine is not the goal; maintaining normal traffic order and cultivating drivers' awareness of regulations are the ultimate objectives.

Which is More Advanced: Variable Suspension or Air Suspension?

Here is a related introduction to variable suspension and air suspension: 1. Variable Suspension Variable suspension refers to a system that can manually or automatically adjust the height or stiffness of the suspension to meet the driving needs on different road surfaces. Suspension is a factor of great concern to consumers as it directly affects the comfort and handling of the vehicle. However, with today's technology, ordinary spring shock absorbers can hardly achieve both. In the pursuit of perfection in the automotive field, the variable suspension system was born. The function of the variable suspension is to manually or automatically change the height/stiffness of the suspension to adapt to different road conditions. 2. Air Suspension: A high-quality SUV must have the comfort of a sedan while maintaining the off-road capability of an SUV. The air suspension system is the best choice to achieve this goal. Based on different road conditions and signals from distance sensors, the vehicle's computer will determine changes in the vehicle's height and then control the air compressor and exhaust valves to automatically compress or extend the springs, thereby reducing or increasing the ground clearance of the chassis to enhance high-speed stability or off-road capability on complex terrains.
