Cars have the accelerator pedal on the right and the brake pedal in the middle. Manual transmission vehicles have three pedals, arranged from left to right as the clutch pedal, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal. Automatic transmission vehicles have two pedals, arranged from left to right as the brake pedal and accelerator pedal. Below is some relevant information about brakes: 1. Working Principle: The general principle of braking involves fixing a wheel or disc to the high-speed shaft of the machine and installing corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs on the machine base. Under external force, this setup generates braking torque. 2. Classification: Brakes are further divided into drum brakes and disc brakes. Drum brakes use stationary brake shoes inside the brake drum to rub against the rotating drum, creating friction to reduce the wheel's rotation speed. Disc brakes use brake calipers to control two brake pads that clamp onto the brake disc attached to the wheel. When the brake pads clamp the disc, friction is generated between them.

Are there right-hand drive cars in China?

There are right-hand drive cars in China, such as those in Hong Kong where vehicles are right-hand drive. The origin of left-hand and right-hand steering wheels: 1. Right-hand steering wheel: In ancient Western feudal societies, knights typically fought enemies with lances in hand. Riding on the left side made it easier to attack enemies on the right, while riding on the right side was more dangerous and prone to being killed. As a result, many carriages were historically driven on the left side, a practice that has continued to this day, leading to right-hand steering wheels in modern cars. 2. Left-hand steering wheel: The shift from left-hand to right-hand driving in China is largely due to the cultural tradition of 'respecting the right.' People used their right hands to greet others, while they themselves stood or walked on the left side. Hence, left-hand steering wheels are now commonly used in China.

How many kilometers should the spark plugs of the Volkswagen Tharu be replaced?

The spark plugs of the Volkswagen Tharu are generally replaced every two years or 20,000 kilometers. If the spark plugs are not replaced for a long time, it may lead to a decrease in vehicle power and an increase in fuel consumption. Spark plugs, commonly known as sparking plugs, function by discharging the high-voltage pulses sent from the high-voltage wires (spark plug wires), breaking down the air between the two electrodes of the spark plug to generate an electric spark, thereby igniting the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. The Volkswagen Tharu is a compact SUV under SAIC Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4453mm in length, 1841mm in width, and 1632mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2688mm. It is equipped with two turbocharged engines: a 1.4T and a 2.0T, with maximum power outputs of 110kW and 137kW, and peak torques of 175Nm and 320Nm, respectively.

What is VVT-i?

VVT-i stands for Variable-Valve-Timing-intelligent, which represents the intelligent adjustment of intake valve opening and closing timing to increase air charge. Below is a brief introduction to VVT-i: 1. General Overview: The VVT-i system is used to control the intake valve camshaft, adjusting the camshaft angle within a 50° range to optimize the valve timing according to the engine's operating conditions. This enhances the engine's power, fuel efficiency, and reduces exhaust emissions across all speed ranges. The VVT-i system consists of three main components: the VVT-i controller, the camshaft timing oil control valve, and sensors. 2. Features and Functions: (1) High feasibility. It can balance the requirements of both high-speed and low-speed conditions, improving the engine's power and fuel economy. (2) Reduced emissions. It helps lower the engine's exhaust emissions. (3) Improved performance. It enhances the engine's idle and low-speed performance and stability.

What to Do When the Car Overheats While Driving?

Solutions for an overheating car are as follows: 1. Do not add water immediately: After the coolant in the radiator boils, there is a certain amount of internal pressure. If you immediately open the radiator cap, hot air will spray out, causing burns. The correct approach is to fully open the louvers to increase airflow once overheating is detected. Wait until the temperature drops and the boiling stops. Then, using a wet towel to protect your hand, slightly unscrew the radiator cap to release steam. Wait a moment before fully opening it, and make sure to avoid positioning your face above the cap to prevent steam burns. 2. Do not turn off the engine immediately: If you turn off the engine now, the components are still in an expanded state with very small clearances. Shutting down could cause some soft metals to detach, and in severe cases, lead to cylinder sticking. If your car overheats while driving, never pour cold water on the engine block or cylinder head to cool it down. This could cause the engine block to crack due to sudden cooling, resulting in irreparable damage.
