Without pressing the brake pedal, first press the start button once. The start button will light up, and the accessory power (such as the radio) will turn on. After the vehicle completes its self-check, press the brake pedal and press the one-touch start button again to start the vehicle. In case of an emergency during vehicle operation, you can press and hold the engine start/stop button for more than 3 seconds.

What does vehicle braking mean?

Vehicle braking refers to the use of the service brake, also known as the foot brake, during driving. It facilitates slowing down or stopping the vehicle while in motion. It not only reduces the speed or keeps the vehicle stationary but also enables the moving car to decelerate or stop as required by the driver, allowing for controlled deceleration or stopping within the shortest possible distance, and maintaining a stable speed when going downhill. Severely worn brake pads: Brake pads come in two types: those with wear sensors and those without. Brake pads equipped with wear sensors will automatically complete an electrical circuit when worn down to their limit, triggering a warning light. In such cases, the brake pads need to be replaced. Low brake fluid level: Insufficient brake fluid is often accompanied by noticeably reduced braking power or even a complete loss of braking force. A warning light will illuminate in this situation. Simply replenishing the brake fluid promptly will resolve the issue.

Is It Normal for New Car Tires to Not Have a Production Date?

It is not normal for new car tires to lack a production date. Here are the relevant details: 1. Production Date: The production date refers to the date and time when a product completes all manufacturing processes on the production line, passes inspection, and is packaged as a finished product ready for sale in the market. Nowadays, most companies gradually standardize the production date and batch number of their products. All tires have a production date. 2. Time Difference: Even if the four tires of a new car are not from the exact same date, they may still belong to the same batch. Sometimes there might be a slight time difference, but the dates should be relatively close. Tires are used to be mounted on newly manufactured vehicles.

Can a Vehicle with a Temporarily Seized Vehicle License Be Driven on the Road?

Vehicles with a temporarily seized vehicle license cannot be driven on the road. Here are the relevant details: 1. Vehicle License: The vehicle license is the legal document permitting a motor vehicle to be driven on the road. The driver's license is the legal credential allowing the driver to operate a specific type of motor vehicle. Both are indispensable for driving on the road. 2. Regulations: Driving a vehicle without either a driver's license or a vehicle license is considered unlicensed driving. Article 19 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" clearly stipulates: "To drive a motor vehicle, one must lawfully obtain a motor vehicle driver's license; the driver must operate the motor vehicle within the scope of the vehicle type specified on the driver's license; when driving a motor vehicle, the driver must carry the motor vehicle driver's license."

What are the effects of excessive tire pressure on a vehicle?

Excessive tire pressure has the following effects on a vehicle: Reduces driving comfort: When tire pressure is too high, the tires become overly stiff, significantly reducing driving comfort during travel; Compromises driving safety and poses hidden risks: Excessively high tire pressure increases body vibration, reduces the contact area between the tires and the road surface, greatly diminishes tire friction, and affects braking performance. This is particularly dangerous on slippery roads, increasing the risk of accidents; Causes deformation of tire cords: Overly high tire pressure leads to excessive stretching and deformation of the tire cords, increasing the load on the vehicle during driving. When encountering sharp objects like nails or glass on the road, they can easily penetrate the tire, causing internal cracks upon impact and leading to a blowout.

What is the reason for the car not moving when in D gear?

The reason the car does not move when in D gear is that the accelerator needs to be pressed. Reasons for needing to press the accelerator: Uneven road surface, obstacles or potholes blocking the tires. The handbrake is not released or the autohold function is activated. Rusty brake discs causing high resistance. Issues with the transmission. Solutions: Check the transmission design. Inspect if the brake discs are rusty. Verify if the autohold function is activated in the car. When the autohold function is activated, after the car stops and the brake is firmly pressed, the foot can be lifted, and the handbrake function is automatically engaged. To move forward again, simply press the accelerator to resume normal driving. With autohold activated, pressing the accelerator is necessary for normal driving.

What are the main performance indicators of a car?

Car's main performance indicators are as follows: Power performance of the car: The main parameters of power performance include maximum speed, 0-100 km/h acceleration time, and climbing ability. The higher the maximum speed, the shorter the 0-100 km/h acceleration time, and the greater the fully loaded climbing angle, the better the car's power performance. Fuel economy: This refers to fuel consumption. Among competing models in the same category, the better the car's fuel economy, the lower the fuel consumption. Of course, fuel consumption is also greatly influenced by driving conditions and the owner's driving habits, but the car's inherent fuel economy plays a dominant role. Braking performance of the car: The main reference parameters include 100 km/h braking distance, braking efficiency consistency, 100 km/h braking time, and braking stability. The shorter the 100 km/h braking distance and time, and the less noticeable the body offset or skid, the better the braking performance.
