The differences between Brake King and Soft Brake King are as follows: 1. Easy to lock up with light touch: The principle of Brake King is to disrupt the linear increase of air pressure during braking, directly bypassing the initial phase of low braking pressure and advancing the air flow, giving the impression of better braking performance. Brake King is more sensitive to light touches, making it easy to lock up the wheels, but further pressing may result in reduced effectiveness and increased tire wear. 2. Less prone to locking up when empty: Soft Brake King operates on a similar principle to Brake King, but it integrates a throttle valve in the valve body. When lightly pressed, the throttle valve comes into play, providing gentle deceleration and softer braking. It is less prone to locking up when the vehicle is empty, only locking up when fully pressed, similar to hydraulic brakes.

The 'Brake King' refers to the emergency braking method of stomping the pedal all the way down, which can stop the vehicle quickly in urgent situations. However, it tends to cause tire skidding and increases the risk of rear-end collisions, especially on slippery rainy roads. On the other hand, the 'Gentle Brake King' involves gradually pressing the brake pedal to control speed and come to a smooth stop. This method is safer, prevents passengers from lurching forward uncomfortably, and reduces the chance of motion sickness. While driving, I've noticed that mastering gentle braking can also help prevent sudden accidents—for example, if the car ahead brakes abruptly, a gradual braking approach allows for better reaction time, protecting both yourself and others. Brake systems require regular maintenance, as harsh braking can wear out components faster, leading to costly replacements. Overall, safe driving starts with improving braking habits.

What to Do When the Car Overheats?

The solutions for an overheating car are: 1. Turn on the external circulation in the car to expel the hot air, ensuring the vents are facing downward. Simultaneously, open all the windows for a quick cooling effect; 2. Open the driver's side window and repeatedly open and close the passenger door. Since hot air rises inside the car and cool air stays below, this action can draw in some cool air, altering the interior temperature; 3. Use items to assist in cooling—mix a small amount of alcohol with a large quantity of water in a specific ratio to create a spray, then spray it around the car's interior for a cooling effect; 4. Slightly crack the two front windows and one rear window to ensure proper air circulation inside the car.

What are the body dimensions of the Territory?

The length, width, and height dimensions of the Territory are 4580mm/1936mm/1674mm, which are official data. The length of the Territory refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the vehicle. The width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the vehicle's supporting plane. The Territory's turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 103kW and a maximum torque of 225Nm. The engine's maximum power speed ranges from 4500 to 5200 rpm, and the maximum torque speed ranges from 1500 to 4000 rpm. It features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. This engine is paired with a continuously variable transmission. National regulations have specific requirements regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard "GB1589-89," the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. This means that in the national standard, the significance of vehicle width data is to ensure enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the usage requirements of public roads.

Will the Car Stop When the Clutch is Fully Depressed?

Fully depressing the clutch does not necessarily stop the car. In principle, pressing the clutch won't bring the car to a halt. The function of the clutch is to cut off power transmission. On a flat road, the car will gradually slow down and stop; on a downhill slope, it will accelerate; on an uphill slope, it will stop and then roll backward, gaining speed. The main purposes of the clutch: Ensuring smooth vehicle startup This is the primary function of the clutch. Before starting the car, the engine must first be ignited. During startup, the car accelerates from a complete standstill. If the drivetrain (connected to the entire vehicle) were rigidly linked to the engine, engaging the gear would cause the car to jerk forward abruptly but fail to start moving. This is because the transition from standstill to motion involves significant inertia, creating substantial resistance for the engine. Under this inertial resistance, the engine's RPM would drop sharply below the minimum stable speed (typically 300-500 RPM), causing the engine to stall and preventing the car from starting. Therefore, the clutch is essential. After starting the engine but before moving, the driver first presses the clutch pedal to disengage the clutch, separating the engine from the drivetrain. Then, the gear is engaged, and the clutch pedal is gradually released to reconnect the clutch. During this process, the resistance torque on the engine increases gradually, so the accelerator pedal should be pressed simultaneously to incrementally increase fuel supply, maintaining the engine's RPM above the minimum stable speed to prevent stalling. As the clutch engagement tightens, the torque transmitted from the engine to the driving wheels via the drivetrain increases until the traction force overcomes the startup resistance, allowing the car to move and accelerate smoothly. Enabling smooth gear shifts While driving, the transmission system frequently shifts gears to adapt to changing conditions. Shifting in a manual gearbox typically involves disengaging one gear pair and engaging another. Before shifting, the clutch pedal must be pressed to interrupt power transmission, facilitating the disengagement of the current gear pair and allowing the new gear pair to synchronize speeds gradually. This minimizes impact during engagement, ensuring smooth gear changes. Preventing drivetrain overload During emergency braking, without a clutch, the engine would be forced to decelerate sharply due to its rigid connection with the drivetrain. This would generate massive inertial torque (potentially exceeding the engine's maximum operating torque), overloading the drivetrain and damaging components. The clutch mitigates this risk by allowing relative movement between its driving and driven parts. Thus, the clutch limits the maximum torque on the drivetrain, ensuring safety. Clutch usage when stopping: During driving, to stop quickly, first apply the brakes to reduce speed. When the speed drops to 15-20 km/h, press the clutch and use the brakes to stop completely, then slowly release the clutch. In emergency braking, always press both the clutch and brake pedals to avoid operational errors. Not pressing the clutch could allow engine braking to interfere, potentially affecting control and emergency evasion. However, in high-speed emergencies, press the brake pedal firmly first without immediately depressing the clutch. The engine provides deceleration until the speed drops sufficiently, at which point the clutch should be pressed. Premature clutch engagement would shift to neutral, losing control. Clutch maintenance tips: For manual transmission vehicles, inspect the clutch every two years; for automatic transmissions, every three years. When shifting gears in a manual car, always fully depress the clutch to prevent abnormal gear friction and transmission damage. When replacing transmission fluid, visit a 4S dealership for genuine fluid to avoid quality issues harming the transmission and clutch. Follow the vehicle's maintenance manual and user instructions for proper operation.
