Disc brakes, also known as caliper brakes, are named after their shape. They are hydraulically controlled, with main components including brake discs, wheel cylinders, brake calipers, and oil pipes. The brake disc is made of alloy steel and fixed to the wheel, rotating with it. Here is additional information: Drum brakes: Drum brakes are the earliest form of automotive brakes. Before disc brakes appeared, they were widely used in various vehicles. However, due to structural issues, they have poor heat dissipation and drainage performance during braking, which can easily lead to reduced braking efficiency. Therefore, in the past thirty years, they have gradually been replaced by disc brakes in the passenger car sector. However, due to their lower cost, they are still used in some economy cars, mainly for the rear wheels with lighter braking loads and parking brakes.

What is the reason why one door of a small car cannot be locked?

The reasons why one door of a small car cannot be locked are as follows: Remote key failure: If you usually use the remote key to control the car, and at this time only one door cannot be locked, it indicates that the aging wires in the remote transmitter may cause the remote key to malfunction. Strong magnetic field around the car that can interfere with signals: If the remote key is functioning normally, the most likely reason is that there are signal-interfering objects around the car. Since smart keys use low-intensity radio waves, if there is a strong magnetic field around the car that can interfere with signals, the remote key will not work properly. Door jammer: If the car frequently experiences sudden failures of the remote lock in a certain location, this is likely due to the effect of a door jammer. Criminals may use wireless signal blockers, which can interfere with the remote key's control over the car, causing the car remote key to temporarily malfunction, thereby providing an opportunity for illegal activities.

What exactly does automatic parking mean?

Automatic parking refers to an automatic braking function. After activating this function, for example, when stopping at a red light, it is equivalent to not having to pull the handbrake. Here is a detailed introduction to automatic parking: 1. It can simplify operations by avoiding the use of handbrakes or electronic handbrakes, and automatic transmission models do not need to frequently switch between D to N or D to P. It relies on an intelligent braking system, and only vehicles equipped with brake control systems like ESP can achieve the automatic parking function. 2. Traditional handbrakes require the driver to manually release the handbrake or skillfully coordinate the throttle and clutch for a smooth start on a slope. 3. The AUTO-HOLD automatic parking function provides precise parking force through a slope sensor controlled by the system. During startup, the parking control unit calculates information from the clutch distance sensor, clutch engagement speed sensor, throttle pedal sensor, etc. When the driving force exceeds the driving resistance, the parking brake is automatically released, allowing the car to start smoothly.

Can You Drive on the Highway with a Leaking Rear Crankshaft Oil Seal?

You should not drive on the highway with a leaking rear crankshaft oil seal and should promptly visit a repair shop for replacement. Brief on Minor Leaks: If the leak is minor or involves oil vapor, it will not significantly affect the engine. It is advisable to continue using the vehicle while monitoring the situation. For oil seepage or minor leaks, identify the location of the leak, which is often at joint seams. Sometimes, tightening the relevant screws yourself can resolve the issue. Brief on Long-Term Leaks: It is recommended to seek professional repair at a specialized shop. Although this type of leak may not immediately affect the engine's overall operation, it will deplete the lubrication system's oil (as the leaking fluid is indeed engine oil). Over time, this reduces the effectiveness of the lubrication system and ultimately shortens the engine's lifespan.

What Causes Functional Damage When the Transmission Overheats?

Functional damage when the transmission overheats can be attributed to the following reasons: Engine and Water Temperature Too High: Prolonged engine overload can raise the coolant temperature, thereby affecting the transmission's heat dissipation. Additionally, insufficient coolant in the radiator reduces the cooling system's efficiency, leading to transmission overheating. Transmission Clutch Slipping: Clutch slipping generates additional heat, increasing the transmission's temperature. This degrades the transmission oil quality and accelerates wear on the transmission. Thermostat Sticking: If the transmission's thermostat sticks, the oil inside cannot circulate into the cooling system, preventing the dissipation of heat generated by the transmission. Insufficient Transmission Fluid: Low transmission fluid levels increase gearshift roughness and reduce cooling efficiency, causing the transmission temperature to rise and potentially damaging internal components.

What are the spark plug models for the Spirior?

The spark plug model for the Spirior is NGK LZKR6B-10E. The spark plug is a crucial component in the ignition system of a gasoline engine. It introduces high voltage into the combustion chamber and generates a spark by jumping across the electrode gap, thereby igniting the combustible air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. Under high voltage, the air between the center electrode and the side electrode of the spark plug rapidly ionizes, forming positively charged ions and negatively charged free electrons. When the voltage between the electrodes reaches a certain level, the number of ions and electrons in the gas increases like an avalanche, causing the air to lose its insulating properties. This creates a discharge channel between the gap, resulting in a "breakdown" phenomenon. At this point, the gas forms a luminous body, known as a "spark." Along with thermal expansion, a "crackling" sound is also produced. The temperature of this electric spark can reach as high as 2000-3000°C, which is sufficient to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder's combustion chamber.

Why can't the newly matched key turn when inserted?

The specific reasons why a newly matched key cannot turn when inserted: 1. Improper steering wheel angle: After starting the vehicle with the key, the steering wheel automatically unlocks. Sometimes, when parking, the steering wheel is positioned at a certain angle where the key can only turn to ignite but not unlock, resulting in the key not turning. You can gently turn the key with your right hand while lightly rotating the steering wheel with your left hand to naturally unlock it. 2. Steering wheel lock: When the car is turned off, if the steering wheel is turned left or right or the wheels are not straight when parked, the force can cause the steering wheel to rotate, triggering the self-locking function. The steering lock pin engages with the steering column, making the steering wheel immovable. Even if the key is inserted and turned forcefully, it won't turn. This is the vehicle's anti-theft system detecting a potential theft risk, thus locking the steering wheel to prevent theft.
