It is located on the left side of the steering column, with a button marked 'P' indicating the electronic parking brake. Below is the relevant introduction: 1. Auto Hold function: In traffic congestion, as long as you press the brake and the vehicle comes to a complete stop, the system will determine that the vehicle needs to brake and automatically engage the parking brake. When you want to start moving, simply press the accelerator lightly, and the parking brake will automatically release. 2. Electronic Parking Brake: It uses an integrated caliper, where the motor is integrated into the brake caliper, eliminating the pull-cable mechanism. During regular driving, hydraulic braking is used, while the motor braking is used for parking. This form requires electronic circuits to intervene in the rear wheel braking system, making it relatively more complex.

What are the Key Technologies of Intelligent Connected Vehicles?

Key technologies include environmental perception, intelligent decision-making, control execution, V2X communication, cloud platform & big data, and information security. Environmental Perception Technology: In the field of environmental perception, deep learning has demonstrated significant advantages. Deep learning requires large amounts of data as training samples, imposing high demands on data collection and storage. It also has drawbacks such as unclear internal mechanisms and uncertain boundary conditions, requiring integration with traditional methods to ensure reliability. Currently, it is also limited by the processing capabilities of onboard chips. Cloud Platform & Big Data Technology: Cloud platform and big data technologies include cloud platform architecture and data interaction standards, cloud operating systems, efficient data storage and retrieval technologies, big data correlation analysis, and deep mining technologies. The cloud serves as the information hub for intelligent connected vehicles. Intelligent connectivity treats vehicles, pedestrians, and traffic facilities as information nodes, requiring different entities to upload collected information to the cloud for processing and distribution via cloud computing. Vehicles communicate with the cloud platform to send their position and motion information, and the cloud controller optimizes vehicle speed and gear based on road and traffic information to improve fuel economy and traffic efficiency.

What is the solution for a small amount of water entering the car window on a rainy day?

The solution for a small amount of water entering the car window on a rainy day is: 1. Try not to turn on electronic devices in the car, such as lights or starting the vehicle, to prevent short circuits caused by water; 2. Use the key to open the car door, and if it is still raining, cover the vehicle with an umbrella or waterproof cloth; 3. Take out wet carpets and other items from the car to dry outside; 4. Use a dry towel to wipe the damp areas; 5. Open all car doors for ventilation; 6. Sprinkle water-absorbing beads inside the car; 7. Continue absorbing moisture with dry towels, newspapers, rice, or other absorbent materials. The functions of a sunroof: 1. Change the traditional ventilation method; 2. Prevent exhaust fumes from entering the car; 3. Reduce wind noise; 4. Quickly lower the temperature inside the car; 5. Quickly remove fog inside the car; 6. Provide a wider view.

Is 10L/100km Fuel Consumption Normal for City Driving?

An urban fuel consumption of 10L/100km is normal. Fuel-saving methods: Insufficient tire pressure increases friction between tires and the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption. Therefore, regularly check tire pressure, as different vehicle models and tires have different pressure standards. If tires are severely worn, slipping may occur, increasing fuel consumption, so replace tires when necessary. Check the braking system: Some vehicles may experience slight brake drag, effectively increasing the vehicle's load during driving and raising fuel consumption, so regular checks are essential. Regular maintenance and part replacements—such as air filters, fuel filters, and oil filters—should be performed every 5,000 kilometers or more, as a clogged air filter reduces airflow, leading to incomplete fuel combustion and lower fuel efficiency. Worn clutch plates, clutch pressure plates, and spark plugs that have been used for too long can also increase fuel consumption, so they should be replaced periodically.

What car has a logo with a 'T'?

Car logo with a 'T' represents Tesla vehicles. The Tesla emblem carries dual meanings: it's not only an abbreviation of its English name 'Tesla' but also depicts a cross-sectional diagram of an electric motor. The lower 'T' shape symbolizes the motor's rotor, while the upper arc represents the stator. Tesla is an American electric vehicle and clean energy company, primarily manufacturing and selling electric cars, solar panels, and energy storage systems. Taking Model Y as an example: this model measures 4750mm in length, 1921mm in width, and 1624mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2890mm. It's a 5-door, 5-seater SUV featuring a single-speed electric transmission, capable of reaching a top speed of 217 km/h.

What is used to clean the throttle body?

The throttle body is cleaned with dedicated throttle body cleaning fluid or cleaner. The steps for cleaning the throttle body are: 1. Open the hood and locate the engine's throttle body; 2. Use a flat-head screwdriver to remove the air filter and intake pipe, then unplug the electrical socket on the throttle body; 3. After removing the screws, take off the throttle body and use a dry cloth to plug the engine intake to prevent dirt from entering the engine; 4. Spray the cleaner onto the throttle body. The throttle body is a controllable valve that regulates air entering the engine. After entering the intake pipe, the air mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to create power. The throttle body is connected to the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom, and is referred to as the throat of the automobile engine.

Does the Engine Need an Overhaul if Coolant Enters It?

Generally, when coolant enters the engine, it primarily mixes with the engine oil. The combination of coolant and oil causes an emulsification reaction. Once the oil emulsifies, it can no longer effectively protect the engine and may lead to cylinder scoring. Therefore, if coolant enters the engine, an overhaul is necessary. Coolant: The full name of coolant should be antifreeze coolant, meaning it is a cooling liquid with antifreeze properties. Coolant prevents the liquid from freezing and expanding in cold winter conditions, which could otherwise crack the radiator or damage the engine block or cylinder head. Car Engine Maintenance: Use the appropriate grade of lubricating oil: For gasoline engines, select SD to SF grade motor oil based on the additional equipment in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB to CD grade diesel oil according to mechanical load, with the standard being no lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and oil filter: The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will degrade over time. After a certain mileage, the performance deteriorates, leading to various engine issues. Maintain good crankcase ventilation: Most gasoline engines today are equipped with a PCV valve (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) to facilitate engine ventilation. However, contaminants from blow-by gases can accumulate around the PCV valve and potentially clog it. Regularly clean the crankcase: During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls. These mix with metal particles from component wear, forming sludge. Regularly maintain the radiator: Rust and scale buildup in the engine radiator are common issues. Rust and scale restrict the flow of coolant in the cooling system, reducing heat dissipation and causing engine overheating or even damage.
