Exhaust brake should be used correctly as follows: 1. Exhaust brake cannot replace service brake for emergency braking, nor can it be used for parking brake, but it can be used simultaneously with service brake; 2. When using exhaust brake, the accelerator pedal should be at zero position, and the fuel injector stops injecting fuel. When the accelerator pedal or clutch pedal is pressed, the exhaust brake will automatically turn off to prevent engine stalling when stopping and exhaust brake operation during fuel injection; 3. Do not use exhaust brake on icy or slippery roads to avoid driving wheel slip and skid; 4. The power of engine exhaust brake depends on engine speed. To ensure braking effect, select an appropriate vehicle gear when using exhaust brake on long downhill roads.

Should Left-Turning Vehicles Yield to Straight-Going Vehicles?

Generally, left-turning vehicles should yield to straight-going vehicles. Specific reasons: At intersections without directional traffic signals, turning vehicles must yield to straight-going vehicles. If there are traffic signals or other circumstances, the situation should be assessed accordingly. Under normal traffic rules, straight-going vehicles have the right of way. If a turning vehicle fails to yield to straight-going vehicles and causes a traffic accident, the turning vehicle will bear full responsibility. Special circumstances: Branch roads yield to trunk roads; auxiliary roads yield to main roads; vehicles at the beginning of a green light yield to those at the end; vehicles must yield when there is a 'yield' sign; roundabouts follow the 'first come, first served' rule; on the same lane, the vehicle in front goes first.

Does BMW have a 6 Series?

BMW does have a 6 Series. Here are the specific details about the BMW 6 Series: 1. Overview: The BMW 6 Series is a car specifically designed by German BMW for discerning drivers. It was launched in 1976 and discontinued in 1989, with sales of 86,000 units during this period, making it the most successful coupe in BMW's history. After a 14-year hiatus, BMW decided to revive the 6 Series and re-enter the large luxury coupe market. 2. Exterior: The 6 Series maintains BMW coupe's typical dynamic style, with a long engine hood, low roofline, and front fascia and side skirts that give the car a sporty and elegant posture. To distinguish it from other models, the headlights, engine cover, radiator grille, and front air intakes have been completely redesigned. New elements such as LED brake lights have been introduced in the taillight design, which not only significantly reduces reaction time but also adjusts size and brightness according to different environments, showcasing even more ingenuity.

Is It Necessary to Drive on the Highway After Adding Fuel Additive?

It is not necessary to drive on the highway immediately after adding fuel additive. Letting the additive sit for a few days to mix more evenly with the gasoline is sufficient, and you can drive on the highway when the opportunity arises later. For new vehicles with less than 20,000 kilometers on the odometer, adding fuel additive is unnecessary. For vehicles exceeding 20,000 kilometers, it should be added as needed, typically one small bottle per tank of fuel. The precautions for using fuel additive are as follows: Increased carbon deposits in the combustion chamber: Long-term use of fuel additive can be harmful to the engine. Excessive use can increase carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, and if overused for an extended period, it may even cause engine knocking, detonation, and worsen vehicle exhaust emissions. Driver's driving habits: Cars frequently driven at low speeds in urban areas with frequent stops and starts are prone to engine carbon buildup. If a car often drives on highways, carbon deposits are less likely to form, and even if the mileage exceeds 200,000 kilometers, fuel additive may not be necessary. Many drivers tend to accelerate and brake aggressively, which increases fuel consumption, and using fuel additive cannot compensate for these poor driving habits.

Can the Aston Martin DBS rear seats accommodate passengers?

Aston Martin DBS rear seats can accommodate passengers. Here are the specific details about the Aston Martin: 1. Exterior: The integrated front and rear bumpers fit tightly with the body, forming the DB9's perfect sporty appearance. 2.

What Causes the Steering Wheel to Shake When Accelerating?

The reasons for steering wheel vibration when accelerating in a car: 1. Incorrect tire dynamic balance values: This can cause the steering wheel to shake within a certain speed range, requiring a wheel dynamic balance adjustment. 2. Faults in the vehicle's transmission system: It is necessary to check whether the front wheel alignment angles meet the requirements and adjust them if they are off. 3. Worn or loose half-shaft/tie rod ball joints or detached rubber bushings at the joints, requiring replacement of damaged parts: The vehicle may drive normally on smooth roads, but the steering wheel may shake when encountering rough roads. This happens because, while driving, the tie rod ball joints may be worn or loose, or the rubber bushings at the joints may have detached, and the tires may have become irregular due to wear. The vehicle should be taken to a professional repair shop for inspection.

What is a Pulley Plate?

Pulley plate is essentially a belt pulley. Below is more information about the pulley plate: 1. In the transmission system, the belt connects two discs: the outer disc is the fixed disc, and the inner disc is the pulley plate (also known as the movable disc, which can move axially). 2. The pulley beads (also known as movable beads, which can move radially) are components inside the pulley plate. There are 6 in total, installed in 6 sliding grooves, and they are affected by the engine speed. 3. If the vehicle speed increases, the engine speed decreases, causing the pulley beads to move radially toward the axis. The force with which the two discs squeeze the belt decreases, the belt moves toward the center of the disc, the diameter of the driving disc decreases, the diameter of the driven disc increases, and the transmission ratio also decreases.
