Solutions for the car rolling after pulling the handbrake: You can tighten the handbrake cable. For manual transmission vehicles, you can press the clutch with your left foot, press the brake with your right foot, engage any forward gear, pull the handbrake, and then turn off the engine to use the traction of the gear to prevent rolling. For automatic transmission vehicles, press the brake, shift to P (Park), pull the handbrake, turn off the engine, and use the locking mechanism of the automatic transmission's P gear to prevent further rolling. More details are as follows: 1. If the handbrake suddenly fails or cannot hold during normal use, it can be very dangerous, especially on steep slopes where sudden failure poses a greater risk. 2. Automatic transmission models are easier to operate; when in a forward gear, holding the brake will prevent rolling, and quickly applying the throttle while releasing the brake ensures the power is sufficient to move the vehicle forward.

How often should distilled water be added to the battery?

Distilled water consumption is related to weather conditions (hot or cold) and the frequency of car usage, so battery water consumption varies in different regions. Regular self-inspection is necessary, and distilled water should be added when levels are low. Below is additional information: 1. Battery: A battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of cell that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the term 'battery' refers to a lead-acid battery, which is mainly made of lead and its oxides, with sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. 2. Function of car battery: When the vehicle is about to start, the battery discharges electricity to the starter, which then drives the flywheel and crankshaft to start the vehicle. It provides power to in-car electrical appliances such as audio systems and lighting systems when the engine's power supply is insufficient or not started. Once the engine begins normal power supply, the battery collects and stores electrical energy for future use.

How Good is the Safety of MPVs?

The relevant information is introduced as follows: 1. Safety of MPVs: Compared to SUVs and sedans, the safety of MPVs is generally poorer due to their inherent body structure. MPVs pursue absolute spaciousness, often designing shorter engine compartments and luggage compartments to make way for passenger space. In the event of a collision, the crumple zones are relatively smaller, resulting in greater impact on passengers inside the vehicle. Especially for front-seat passengers and third-row passengers, the risks are higher during frontal and rear-end collisions. 2. Crash tests: The structural safety of MPVs is inferior to that of sedans and SUVs. 3. Curb weight: MPVs have a relatively heavy curb weight, which provides an advantage in actual collisions compared to crash tests. However, it should be noted that SUVs in the same price range are not lighter than MPVs.

Does driving in water affect car tires during rain?

Driving in water does not affect car tires during rain because tires are made of rubber, which does not dissolve in water. Below is relevant information about car tires: 1. Tire shelf life: The main component of tires is rubber, which has a shelf life, so tires also have a shelf life. Fresh rubber has the best performance, so newly manufactured tires perform the best. ADAC's research on unused tires produced in different years shows that the longer tires are stored, the worse their performance becomes. 2. Replacement cycle: Tires are rubber products and will age even if not used. It is recommended to replace tires every four years, and even if the annual mileage is low, they should still be replaced.
