Brake proportioning valve is a valve that distributes braking force to the four wheels. During vehicle braking, the state where the wheels stop rotating and slide on the ground is called lock-up. If the rear wheels lock up before the front wheels, it can cause fishtailing or even dangerous spin-outs. The brake proportioning valve can regulate the brake fluid based on the vehicle load and road resistance conditions within a very short time, ensuring that the braking force applied to the front and rear brake pads approaches the ideal curve. This helps to some extent in preventing skidding and wheel lock-up, reducing braking distance, and enhancing braking effectiveness. Additional information: When the brake proportioning valve malfunctions, braking effectiveness decreases, braking distance increases, and during emergency braking, the rear wheels will lock up first, causing the rear of the vehicle to become unstable or even leading to rollovers.

What grade of gasoline should a Volkswagen Sagitar use?

Volkswagen Sagitar should use 95-octane gasoline because it is equipped with a turbocharged engine. Turbocharged engines operate with higher pressure and temperature inside the cylinders, so the Sagitar requires 95-octane gasoline to prevent engine knocking. Knocking can affect the engine's power output and even damage it. The new Sagitar comes with two engine options: a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.2-liter turbocharged engine is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, while the 1.4-liter turbocharged engine is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

What to Do If You Hit Someone with Your Car?

Saving lives is the top priority. Regardless of the severity of the injuries, call an ambulance immediately to transport the injured person. Never attempt to transport them yourself—always call 120, no matter how minor the injuries may seem. Involve the traffic police in the accident. This not only eliminates suspicion of hit-and-run but also ensures that subsequent compensation issues are handled according to the law. If you have insurance, report the incident to your insurance company. They will handle the arrangements and assign a representative to contact you. It’s advisable to cover medical expenses and provide necessary care. This can help alleviate your guilt, reduce the other party’s resentment, and foster better understanding between both sides.
