Owners need to stay calm, quickly step on the foot brake to stop the car, then gently pull the handbrake and slowly release the foot brake. At this time, it is best not to remove the foot from the foot brake. After confirming that the handbrake is securely engaged, the foot brake can be released. Below are some possible reasons for the car rolling: 1. The brake gap is too large, reducing the squeezing force of the friction pads on the drum or disc when the handbrake is applied. 2. The handbrake was not pulled all the way, failing to reach the braking position. 3. If the car only rolls a very short distance, it indicates an issue with the engagement point between the handbrake and foot brake. 4. The road surface where the vehicle is parked is too smooth and has a significant slope.

Where is the best position for car anti-collision strips?

Car anti-collision strips are best placed on the edges of car doors, as these areas are most prone to scratches. Here are specific details about car anti-collision strips: 1. Disadvantages: Car anti-collision strips are usually attached with 3M double-sided tape, which can damage the car paint. If the strips become worn over time and need to be replaced or removed, you may notice a color difference between the paint under the strips and the rest of the car. 2. Function: Anti-collision strips protect the original car paint during minor scrapes. 3. Removal method: You can first use a hairdryer to heat the 3M tape, making it easier to remove. After removal, the 3M adhesive residue will remain on the paint surface. Use a small amount of alcohol and water to wipe it off, which will not damage the paint surface when done carefully.

Can the Rearview Mirror Cross the Line During Reverse Parking?

Generally, crossing the line with the rearview mirror during reverse parking in the driving test does not result in a penalty, but this depends on the specific regulations of each test center. According to the "Motor Vehicle Driver Training and Examination Syllabus," as long as the vehicle body does not exceed the ground markings during reverse parking, no points will be deducted. The rearview mirror is a protruding part, so whether it is considered part of the vehicle body depends on how each test center identifies it. Failing the test will result if the vehicle body crosses the line, fails to enter the parking space, stops midway, does not follow the prescribed route or sequence, or exceeds the time limit. The full score for this test is 100 points, with evaluation criteria set for failing, deducting 20 points, deducting 10 points, or deducting 5 points. The rules for the second subject of the motor vehicle driver's license test state that any of the following will result in failure: stopping or rolling back during the test, not following voice prompts, or having the wheels or vehicle body cross the line. Many students encounter the issue of crossing the line during the second subject, and "crossing the line" is the most common reason for failing. The main cause of crossing the line is not mastering the correct timing for steering. Besides missing the right moment to steer, another reason could be the steering speed not keeping up with the vehicle speed. Scoring standards for the second subject: Not wearing a seatbelt: deduct 100 points. Starting the engine without the gear in neutral: deduct 100 points. Not using turn signals (including when starting, changing lanes, overtaking, turning, or parking); using turn signals for less than three seconds (note that this is easily overlooked!); forgetting to turn off the turn signal or using it incorrectly: deduct 10 points. Stalling once: deduct 10 points. Reverse parking: Not following the prescribed route or sequence: deduct 100 points. Vehicle body crossing the line: deduct 100 points. Failing to enter the parking space: deduct 100 points. Before reversing, if the two front wheels do not pass the control line: deduct 100 points. Exceeding the 210-second time limit: deduct 100 points. Stopping for more than 2 seconds: deduct 5 points each time. Slope parking and starting: After stopping, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line and exceeds 50 cm forward or backward: deduct 100 points. After stopping, if the front bumper is not aligned with the pole line but does not exceed 50 cm forward or backward: deduct 10 points. After stopping, if starting takes more than 30 seconds: deduct 100 points. Wheels crossing the road edge line while driving: deduct 100 points. Rolling back more than 30 cm when starting: deduct 100 points. After stopping, if the vehicle body is more than 50 cm from the road edge line: deduct 100 points. After parking, not tightening the parking brake: deduct 10 points each time. After stopping, if the vehicle body is more than 30 cm but less than 50 cm from the road edge line: deduct 10 points each time. Rolling back more than 10 cm but less than 30 cm when starting: deduct 5 points each time. Parallel parking: After parking, if the vehicle body crosses the line: deduct 100 points. Not using or incorrectly using turn signals when entering the parking space: deduct 10 points. Exceeding the 90-second time limit: deduct 100 points. Touching the parking space boundary line while driving: deduct 10 points each time. Wheels touching the lane boundary line while driving: deduct 10 points each time. Stopping for more than 2 seconds: deduct 5 points each time. 90-degree turn: Wheels crossing the road edge line: deduct 100 points. Not using or incorrectly using turn signals during the turn, or not turning them off after the turn: deduct 10 points. Stopping for more than 2 seconds: deduct 5 points each time. Curve driving: Wheels crossing the road edge line: deduct 100 points. Stopping for more than 2 seconds: deduct 100 points. Driving without the gear in second or higher: deduct 5 points.

What is the original tire brand of the Audi A4L?

Audi A4L comes with Dunlop tires as original equipment. The tire size is 235/55R17. Dunlop is a Japanese tire brand under the Sumitomo Group, originally founded by the British Dunlop Company in Japan. It is not only the inventor of pneumatic tires but also a globally renowned automotive tire manufacturer. For the tires of the Audi A4L, the following points should be noted during daily use: Regularly check the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to driving wear, the tread grooves gradually become shallower. If the tread is worn flat, it will lose its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the vehicle's performance. Small cracks may seem minor but can lead to tire blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles lodged in the grooves. Park on level ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that can deteriorate rubber. After parking, avoid turning the steering wheel, as this can accelerate tire wear. Do not splash water to cool tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires can overheat, and pressure may increase. In such cases, stop to let the tires cool naturally. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool them, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Try to minimize frequent or hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging between the tires and the ground.
