Is There a Difference Between Full-Speed Adaptive Cruise Control and Adaptive Cruise Control?

Full-speed adaptive cruise control and adaptive cruise control are different. The following are the specific differences between the two: 1. When using adaptive cruise control, there is a certain speed limit, generally above 40 kilometers per hour or 60 kilometers per hour before the adaptive cruise function can be activated. 2. Full-speed adaptive cruise control can be used at any speed. 3. Adaptive cruise control is an optimization based on conventional cruise control, which only allows for simple speed setting without the need to press the accelerator pedal. 4. Full-speed adaptive cruise control is more intelligent than adaptive cruise control.

What is Brake Pedal Free Play?

Free play refers to the distance the brake pedal travels before the brakes begin to engage. Without free play, braking would feel uncomfortable and could even cause the wheels to lock up prematurely. Introduction to pedal free play: 1. Function: The free play is designed to prevent overheating of the brake pads and discs due to excessive tightness, which could lead to brake failure. 2. Adjustment: For hydraulic brake systems, the pedal free play is typically between 15-20mm and should be adjusted according to the vehicle manufacturer's specifications. The amount of free play directly affects braking response time and stopping distance. Therefore, it is essential to check that the brake pedal's free play is properly set before driving.

Can You Still Drive When the Airbag Light Is On?

You can still drive when the airbag warning light is on, but it is not recommended: 1. The airbag light may indicate a false fault. If the car battery is low or other electrical devices in the vehicle are damaged, it could affect the airbag's feedback voltage. 2. If road conditions permit, you can temporarily park in a safe place when the airbag warning light is on, turn off the engine, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, wait for 5-10 minutes, then reconnect it and restart the engine to complete the vehicle self-check. If the airbag indicator disappears, you can continue driving; if it remains lit, you should go to the nearest repair shop for maintenance.

How to Change a Flat Tire?

Here are the steps to change a spare tire: 1. Remove the damaged tire: Use a wrench to loosen the bolts, but do not remove them completely at this stage—just loosen them. 2. Lift the car with a jack: Ensure the jack is positioned correctly and lift the car just enough to remove the tire. Then, install the spare tire by aligning it with the bolt holes and securing it tightly. 3. If changing the tire on the road, prioritize safety: Park in a safe area, set up a warning sign 50-100 meters behind the car (150 meters on highways), and use hazard lights if changing the tire at night.

The W on the gear oil viscosity grade label indicates low-temperature gear oil. The number before W represents low-temperature viscosity. The smaller the number, the lower the viscosity, the better the fluidity, and the stronger the low-temperature performance. 3. The number after W represents high-temperature viscosity. The larger the number, the higher the high-temperature viscosity, and the higher the temperature resistance.
