Reset the electronic parking brake by turning on the car key, then pressing the foot brake, followed by holding down the electronic handbrake for 5 seconds and then pulling it up for another 5 seconds. When braking with the parking brake, pull the parking brake lever to the braking position and release it, first press to release the lever head. Perform up and down movement tests to check if the lever is bent, stuck, or if the spring is broken, and check if the sector teeth and gear teeth are severely worn, causing slippage. If no issues are found, check if the dust shield is colliding with the brake drum due to deformation or improper fixation.

What is the normal idle speed for a new car?

The normal idle speed for a new car should generally range between 600-1000 RPM. Excessive engine carbon buildup: This is the most common cause. When fuel combustion is incomplete, or when paraffin and gum residues from gasoline remain, impurities can accumulate in components like fuel injectors and throttle bodies, eventually leading to carbon deposits over time. Ignition system malfunction: When the system operates abnormally, spark plugs are prone to misfiring, which not only increases fuel consumption and reduces power output but also causes irregular idle speed. Engine mount deterioration: As rubber components, engine mounts are highly susceptible to aging and damage. Their vibration-dampening effect on the engine inevitably weakens, resulting in abnormal idle conditions.

Is a tire pressure of 209 kPa normal?

The displayed tire pressure of 209 kPa for a car's tires is not within the normal range. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard, the recommended tire pressure for standard tires is 2.4-2.5 bar. A pressure of 2.0 bar is below the minimum value of the standard tire pressure, so it is abnormal. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; causes the steering wheel to become heavy and prone to deviation, among other factors detrimental to driving safety; increases the movement of various parts of the tire, leading to excessive rolling and abnormal heat generation in the tire; reduces the functionality of the cords and rubber, causing delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, resulting in damage to the tire bead area and abnormal wear. Hazards of high tire pressure: Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; accelerates localized wear of the tread pattern in the center of the tire, shortening the tire's lifespan; increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components.

Do Electric Vehicles Consume More Power at High Speed or Low Speed?

Electric vehicles consume more power at high speed. Electric vehicles are more energy-efficient at low speed and consume more power at high speed: The working efficiency of an electric motor in a pure electric vehicle is almost unaffected by its rotation speed, and it does not lose energy through a transmission. Therefore, pure electric vehicles are very energy-efficient at low speeds. When running at high speed, although the motor efficiency can be maintained at 80%-90%, air resistance increases with the square of the speed. The higher the speed, the greater the air resistance the electric vehicle needs to overcome, resulting in significantly higher power consumption at high speeds compared to low speeds. Pure electric vehicles can recover kinetic energy at low speed: Another technology that makes pure electric vehicles energy-efficient at low speed is kinetic energy recovery. During frequent deceleration at low speeds, the vehicle recovers energy each time and transmits it back to the battery. The most energy-efficient speed for a pure electric vehicle is low speed, with an energy efficiency of 80%-90%. Combined with 20% from kinetic energy recovery, the energy-saving effect is surprisingly good.

Why Do Vehicles Turn on Hazard Lights on Highways?

Highway hazard lights are activated to signal danger to following vehicles. Meaning of Hazard Lights: Hazard lights, short for 'hazard warning flashers', are signal lights used to alert other vehicles and pedestrians that the vehicle is experiencing a special situation. Regulations for Hazard Light Usage: When towing a malfunctioning motor vehicle or when the vehicle is in an abnormal state. Traffic regulations specify that hazard warning flashers must be turned on in case of a breakdown or accident on the highway, and at night, width markers and tail lights should also be activated simultaneously. The small lights that illuminate front and rear when the light switch is turned to the first position are width markers, indicating the vehicle's width to alert oncoming and following vehicles.

What causes the anti-skid and ABS lights to illuminate simultaneously?

ABS light and anti-skid light illuminate due to sensor damage. The reasons for sensor damage are as follows: Reason 1: The sensing part of the ABS speed sensor is covered by mud, sludge, or other contaminants, affecting the sensor's ability to detect the corresponding vehicle speed signal. This prevents the ABS computer from determining the vehicle speed and the wheel slip rate, thus unable to issue appropriate commands to adjust braking. Solution: Clean the dirt on the speed sensor and adjust the gap between the speed sensor and the signal gear ring to restore normal function. Reason 2: Poor signal quality due to loose connections between system lines or poor contact of the ABS relay causes system failure. The most common issue is the speed sensor wire plug becoming loose, leading to failure. This condition will also display a poor speed sensor signal in the ABS computer's fault memory. Solution: Check the line connections and reconnect any loose parts.

What is the Difference Between 1:25 and 1:50 Engine Oil?

The difference between 1:25 and 1:50 engine oil lies in their mixing ratios, which consequently represent different engine speeds. Both 1:25 and 1:50 are mixing ratios for two-stroke engine oil. A 1:25 ratio means the mixing proportion is 25 parts gasoline to 1 part oil, and this ratio can be adjusted according to the season and operating conditions, with the maximum concentration reaching up to 18:1. A 1:50 ratio means the mixing proportion is 50 parts gasoline to 1 part oil. Due to different designs, engines with higher speeds typically use a 50:1 ratio, while those with lower speeds use a 25:1 ratio. Two-stroke engines require lubricants with excellent high-temperature performance, good dilution properties, minimal harmful substances after combustion, strong oil film formation, and certain cleaning capabilities. The first choice is to use domestic or imported two-stroke-specific engine oil; alternatively, SW30 oil can be selected.
