The electronic power steering of the new Alto is located on the steering column below the steering wheel, along with a torque sensor and control computer. Principle of electro-hydraulic power steering: The principle of electro-hydraulic power steering is basically the same as that of mechanical hydraulic power steering, except that the oil pump is driven by an electric motor, and the steering assistance force is variable. The vehicle speed sensor monitors the speed, and after obtaining the data, the electronic control unit adjusts the opening degree of the steering control valve to change the hydraulic pressure, thereby regulating the steering assistance force. Advantages of electro-hydraulic power steering: Electro-hydraulic power steering retains most of the advantages of mechanical hydraulic power steering while also reducing energy consumption, offering more responsive reactions, and allowing the steering assistance force to adjust automatically based on parameters such as steering angle and vehicle speed, making it more user-friendly. However, the introduction of many electronic components increases manufacturing and maintenance costs, and its operational stability is not as reliable as that of mechanical hydraulic systems. With continuous technological advancements, these drawbacks are gradually being overcome, and electro-hydraulic power steering has become the choice for many household car models.

What does the parking assistance system mean?

The parking assistance system is an extension of the parking radar function. More details about the parking assistance system are as follows: 1. When reversing, it helps the driver detect obstacles and predicts the distance between the vehicle and the obstacles. The parking assistance system can detect obstacles outside the driver's field of vision and informs the driver of the distance between the vehicle and the obstacles through certain signals. Whether it is children playing behind the car or low-lying objects such as stone piers, stone pillars, fences, and fire hydrants, they can be detected in the first place. 2. If the assistance system fails, it will emit a high-pitched long tone, and the switch indicator light will flash. Please contact the dealer/authorized repair shop as soon as possible.

How to Use the S Gear in a Car?

S gear is the sport mode of a car ("S" stands for "sport"). Many automatic transmission cars are equipped with an S gear, and some high-end models also feature an S gear design. In S gear sport mode, the transmission can shift freely, but the shifting timing is delayed, keeping the engine at high RPM for a longer period. This allows the car to operate at low gear and high RPM for an extended time, resulting in greater torque output and acceleration. The method for using the S gear is as follows: 1. First, enter the car, fasten the seat belt, and then start the engine. Turn on the left turn signal to begin driving. 2. Then, start driving normally in D gear. 3. After starting in D gear, shift to S gear when overtaking or climbing a slope.
