Where is the handbrake in an automatic transmission car?

The handbrake in an automatic transmission car is located next to the gear lever. 1. There is a button-type parking system that activates the handbrake by pressing or lifting; 2. There is a pull-handle type system to engage the handbrake; 3. There is a foot-pedal type system to lift and release the handbrake; 4. There are more advanced automatic parking systems that do not require buttons or switches—the handbrake automatically locks the wheels when parked and releases when starting to drive. The professional term for the handbrake is auxiliary brake, which differs in principle from the main brake. It uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to brake the vehicle. Prolonged use of the handbrake can cause the steel cable to undergo plastic deformation. Since this deformation is irreversible, long-term use can reduce effectiveness and increase the handbrake's travel distance.

What Does Combined Braking System Mean?

CBS stands for Combination-Braking-System. The core function of CBS braking is that when the rider operates either the front brake or the rear brake alone, both wheels can receive appropriate and effective braking force. Here are the relevant details: 1. The role of CBS: Regardless of whether the rider operates the front or rear brake, the CBS system can reasonably redistribute the rider's intention to both the front and rear wheels, allowing the motorcycle to slow down and stop in the shortest distance. Currently, this braking system is mainly promoted by Honda and is only used on two-wheeled motorcycles. 2. The principle of CBS: The principle of the combined front and rear braking system is actually quite simple. It involves adding some components based on mechanical principles, so that applying either the rear brake or the front brake alone can engage both brakes simultaneously.

What Causes the ABS Pump to Keep Making Noise?

ABS pump continuously making noise is caused by an internal control short circuit in the ABS pump. Below are the specific details about the ABS system: 1. Function of the ABS System: ABS stands for Anti-lock Braking System, which is part of the vehicle's active safety systems. When the ABS light comes on, it indicates that the vehicle's computer has detected a fault in the ABS system. 2. Principle of the ABS Light: Under normal driving conditions, the ABS remains in a dormant state. It only activates during emergency braking, such as when braking hard at high speeds. The vehicle's computer determines when the ABS should intervene. When the ABS light comes on, it is often due to the wheel speed sensors not functioning properly. The ABS computer cannot detect the driving conditions of each wheel, making it impossible to compare the slip amounts of the wheels, which results in the ABS system failing to operate correctly.

How to Distinguish the National Emission Standard of a Sedan?

Methods to distinguish the national emission standard of a sedan: 1. Check the vehicle's environmental protection label directly, which has clear markings on the back; 2. Visit the website of the Motor Vehicle Exhaust Pollution Supervision and Management Center for inquiry; 3. Bring the original or a copy of the motor vehicle registration certificate (for new cars, you can use the vehicle's factory certificate) and inquire at the vehicle management office. The automobile emission standards are established to implement environmental protection laws, reduce and prevent pollution from vehicle exhaust, protect the ecological environment, and ensure human health. These standards aim to control the emission of harmful gases such as CO (carbon monoxide), HC (hydrocarbons), NOx (nitrogen oxides), and PM (particulate matter, soot) from vehicle exhaust.

What are the five wires of the ignition switch?

The five wires of the ignition switch are the ground wire, trigger wire, ignition coil input wire, high-voltage pack output wire, and shutdown wire. Below is a detailed introduction to the four-position ignition switch settings: 1. LOCK: After locking the car, the key will be in the LOCK position. At this time, the key not only locks the steering column but also cuts off the vehicle's power supply. 2. ACC: The ACC position supplies power to some of the car's electrical devices, such as the audio system and lights. 3. ON: During normal driving, the key is in the ON position, where all the vehicle's circuits are operational. 4. START: The START or ST position is the engine starting position. Once the ignition switch is released after starting, it will automatically return to the ON position.
