Parking brake, also known as handbrake or the parking gear in automatic transmissions, locks the drive shaft or rear wheels. Below is extended information about the electronic parking brake system: 1. Concept: The electronic parking brake system integrates the temporary braking function during driving and the long-term braking function after parking, and realizes parking braking through electronic control. 2. Working Principle: The electronic parking brake achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both achieving parking control through the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads. The only difference is that the control method has changed from the mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button.

What tires are equipped on the Volkswagen Tiguan?

The Volkswagen Tiguan is equipped with Hankook Dynapro-HL2-RA35 tires. In terms of comfort and noise reduction, the Dynapro-HL2-RA35 utilizes various cutting-edge technologies such as noise prediction analysis, visual noise technology, rolling analysis technology, and vibration control technology, effectively reducing noise and enhancing driving comfort. Below are the meanings of each part of the tire specifications: 1. Tire width: A factor affecting the vehicle's fuel consumption. 2. Aspect ratio: The main factor influencing the vehicle's responsiveness to road conditions, expressed as the percentage of tire height to width. 3. Tire type code: Common representations include 'X' for high-pressure tires, 'R' and 'Z' for radial tires, and '-' for low-pressure tires. 4. Load index: Indicates the maximum load a tire can bear in code form, representing the tire's load-bearing capacity. 5. Speed rating: Indicates the speed limit for the vehicle; exceeding it may cause tire blowouts.

Can the vehicle body touch the line in the S-curve of Subject 2?

In the S-curve of Subject 2, the vehicle body can touch the line as long as the wheels do not cross it. Below is relevant information about the S-curve in Subject 2: 1. Practical operation method for the S-curve in Subject 2: Before entering the left curve, the vehicle should drive close to the right side, keeping the right side of the car pressed against the right line. When preparing to switch to the right curve, turn the steering wheel to the right, keeping the left front corner of the car pressed against the left line until the vehicle safely exits the curve, then turn the steering wheel to the right again. 2. New regulations for the S-curve in Subject 2: Wheels pressing on the edge line of the road will result in failure; stopping midway will result in failure; driving without the gear in second or higher will result in a 5-point deduction.

How often should the transmission fluid of an Audi A4L be changed?

The transmission fluid of an Audi A4L should be changed every 60,000 kilometers. Transmission fluid is a crucial lubricant within the transmission system, serving functions such as lubrication, heat dissipation, and power transmission. Without transmission fluid, the transmission cannot operate properly. There are two methods for changing transmission fluid: the gravity drain method and the machine flush method. The dimensions of the Audi A4L are 4763mm in length, 1826mm in width, and 1426mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2869mm. The 2019 Audi A4L uses the D1382 transmission model, which is a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Dual-clutch transmissions are developed based on manual transmissions and share a similar structure, with the main difference being an additional set of clutches and shift control mechanisms compared to manual transmissions.

Why does the range suddenly drop by one kilometer?

It is normal for a car's range to drop by one kilometer in a few seconds. The car's range is not very accurate, and the display showing a decrease of one kilometer is actually calculated based on recent fuel consumption, which does not necessarily mean the car has traveled exactly one kilometer. The following explains the range: 1. Fuel consumption: The range is calculated by the computer based on the current driving conditions and fuel consumption, indicating how many kilometers the remaining fuel in the tank can still drive. Therefore, as soon as the engine is running, fuel is consumed, and the corresponding range will decrease. The speed of this decrease depends on the driving conditions. 2. Constant changes: No vehicle's range is completely accurate because it is closely related to the average driving speed and instantaneous fuel consumption. It cannot be guaranteed that the vehicle will always drive at the current average speed, so the range is always constantly changing.

Where Are the Front Side Airbags Located?

Front side airbags are typically installed on the outer side of the front seats. Below is relevant information about airbags: 1. Purpose of airbag installation: The goal is to mitigate injuries caused by side impacts by isolating direct contact between the torso and the door panel, effectively protecting the safety of front-seat passengers. Currently, some high-end or high-spec models are equipped with front side airbags. 2. Composition of airbags: Airbags mainly consist of components such as sensors, microprocessors, gas generators, and the airbag itself. Sensors and microprocessors are used to assess crash severity, transmit and send signals; the gas generator, based on signal instructions, initiates ignition, ignites solid fuel, and generates gas to inflate the airbag, causing it to rapidly expand, with a capacity of approximately (50-90) liters. Since their introduction, airbags have saved numerous lives. Studies show that in frontal collisions involving vehicles equipped with airbags, driver mortality rates decreased by 30% in large cars, 11% in midsize cars, and 20% in compact cars.
