HOWO truck's exhaust brake is located to the left of the clutch pedal, which is the engine shutdown switch. When pressed while driving, it activates the exhaust brake. The exhaust brake is implemented within the engine, commonly by closing the engine's exhaust passage. This causes the engine pistons to encounter gas backpressure during the exhaust stroke, thereby resisting engine operation and creating a braking effect to control vehicle speed. HOWO is a domestically advanced, high-end new-generation heavy-duty truck independently developed by China National Heavy Duty Truck Group Co., Ltd. It incorporates key advanced global heavy truck technologies, targets both Chinese and international regional markets, aligns with international technical standards, and possesses independent brand and intellectual property rights.

Should the car air conditioning compressor be repaired or replaced if it's broken?

If the compressor is only stuck due to poor lubrication or lack of lubrication, has minor refrigerant leakage, or issues like slipping and abnormal noise, repair can be considered. Otherwise, if the compressor has severe leakage or the electromagnetic clutch is burned out, it is generally recommended to replace it directly, as the repair work would otherwise be more extensive. Below is additional information on reasons why a car air conditioning compressor may not work: 1. Circuit system failure: Short circuits or open circuits in the circuit directly cut off the power transmission path, preventing the electromagnetic clutch from properly controlling the compressor's operation. 2. Lack of refrigerant: Refrigerant and refrigeration oil are mutually soluble and circulate back to the compressor through the system. If the Freon in the refrigerant is depleted, it will lead to insufficient oil return, reducing the compressor's lubrication effect and causing it to seize and fail. 3. Mechanical wear of the compressor: Long-term operation under high-speed load conditions may cause premature mechanical wear of compressor components, rendering it inoperable. 4. Over-tightened drive belt: An over-tightened drive belt can directly cause the compressor to seize and stop running, so it's important to regularly check the belt's tension. Conversely, if the belt is too loose, it will cause the compressor's power transmission to slip, resulting in intermittent cooling and reduced performance.

Which is more fuel-efficient: H4F, H4L, or L4L?

H4F is the high-speed gear, suitable for normal daily use and relatively fuel-efficient. H4L is the low-speed gear, used for climbing slopes and consumes more fuel. H4F, H4L, and L4L are three modes of the four-wheel drive system. Below are the relevant introductions: Introduction to H4F: H4F is the full-time four-wheel drive mode with an open center differential, suitable for highway driving without speed restrictions and no turning limitations. It offers better handling on slightly slippery surfaces such as rain or snow. Introduction to H4L: H4L is the full-time four-wheel drive mode with the center differential locked, eliminating differential between the front and rear axles. It is not suitable for high-speed driving on paved roads but is ideal for very slippery surfaces. Steering should be gentle, and the steering wheel will feel heavy. Using this mode on insufficiently slippery surfaces can cause wear and tear on drivetrain components, damaging the vehicle, so speed should also be kept low. Introduction to L4L: L4L is the low-speed four-wheel drive mode with the center differential locked and low-speed torque amplification, providing greater torque output than L2. It is used for extrication in extreme off-road conditions but must be operated at low speeds only.

What to Do When the Steering System Warning Light Comes On?

When the turn signal switch is turned to the left or right, the indicator light flashes faster than normal. If both the left and right turn signals do not light up, there may be an open circuit in the wiring, and it needs to be replaced promptly. If the above steps cannot resolve the issue, use the fault code for analysis, address the problem accordingly, and clear the fault code.

Which company's brand is Luhang tires?

Luhang tires are the flagship brand of Qingdao Sentury Tire Co., Ltd. in China. Although they are not ranked among the top ten domestic tire brands, they are known for their excellent noise reduction, comfort, and superior wet braking performance, as well as their affordable price, making them suitable for mid-to-high-end sedans. More related information is as follows: 1. Comfort-oriented high-performance sedan tire LS388: It features precision-designed shoulder grooves to reduce tire noise during high-speed driving while ensuring outstanding handling performance. The unique tread compound effectively reduces rolling resistance, thereby lowering fuel consumption. The combination of wide and narrow grooves quickly breaks the water film, enhancing the tire's wet grip performance and ensuring safer driving in rainy conditions. Additionally, the integrated shoulder design prevents uneven wear, ensuring uniform tire wear and extending the tire's lifespan. 2. Commitment to independent R&D: As a well-known domestic tire brand, Luhang tires adhere to the principle of independent research and development, continuously innovating and breaking through to produce high-quality products. They have participated in numerous international authoritative tests and achieved excellent results. The market response to their products has been overwhelmingly positive, attracting significant attention in both domestic and international markets, and earning the reputation as a rising star in the tire market.
