Service brake is the braking system of a car, which can slow down and stop the vehicle while it is moving. Brakes are divided into service brakes (foot brakes) and parking brakes (hand brakes), and consist of several components such as the brake pedal, push rod, master cylinder, wheel cylinder, brake drum, brake shoe, brake backing plate, friction lining, brake shoe return spring, and oil pipe. During driving, the service brake (foot brake) is generally used to facilitate slowing down and stopping while moving forward. The parking brake not only keeps the car stationary but also serves as a backup in case the service brake fails. Once the car comes to a complete stop, the parking brake (hand brake) should be applied to prevent the vehicle from sliding forward or rolling backward.

What Causes Engine Abnormal Noise in Volkswagen Lavida?

Volkswagen Lavida engine abnormal noise is caused by aging or loosening of engine mounts, engine misfire noise, or "piston slap" noise. Aging or loosening of engine mounts: Engine mounts are rubber blocks placed between the engine and the vehicle frame. Their purpose is to reduce vibration and cushion the engine's operation, while also securing the engine in place. Once these mounts age or become loose, the engine will vibrate, resulting in abnormal noise. Engine misfire noise: Engine misfire mainly refers to one or more cylinders not functioning properly. The exhaust gas flow from the car will show obvious intermittency, and the exhaust pipe will shake violently. You can clearly hear a "popping" or thumping sound from the engine. This phenomenon is largely related to ignition coil failure. "Piston slap" noise: Due to poor lubrication conditions, excessive wear of the piston and cylinder wall causes the clearance fit tolerance between the piston and cylinder wall to exceed the normal range. When the engine is running, the piston skirt hits the cylinder wall, producing a clear "clanging" sound, which is usually more noticeable at idle or low speeds.

What is the tire pressure for Hyundai Elantra

The normal tire pressure range for the Hyundai Elantra is 2.4-2.5 bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2 bar in winter and decreased by 0.1 bar in summer. The data from the Elantra's tire pressure monitoring system will be displayed on the central screen of the instrument panel. The driving tire pressure monitoring will only be displayed a few minutes after driving. When the vehicle is stopped, by selecting the tire pressure monitoring interface via the steering wheel button, "Drive to Display" will appear. When the inflation pressure of one or more tires is significantly insufficient, the low-pressure tire position indicator will light up the corresponding position indicator to show which tire has significantly low inflation pressure. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol, an irregular circle with no seal on top and four small spikes at the bottom, with an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure. Generally, an alarm will sound if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, the tire needs to be checked and the pressure adjusted. The tire pressure monitoring system has not been reset. After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator to light up. In this case, simply perform a tire pressure reset. The tire pressure sensor is damaged. The tire pressure sensor is used to monitor tire pressure and is installed directly inside the tire, connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged while driving due to hitting the tire, the tire pressure warning light will also come on. For sensor damage issues, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.

Driver fatigue occurs when a driver experiences physiological and psychological dysfunction after prolonged continuous driving, objectively manifesting as a decline in driving skills. 2. To alleviate fatigued driving, one should decisively choose an appropriate time to rest, ideally before feeling drowsy.
