Bentley's handbrake is located on the left side of the gear shift lever (with a marking). Handbrake Introduction: The parking brake, commonly known as the handbrake, functions to provide resistance to the car when parked, preventing it from rolling. The parking brake, also referred to as the handbrake or the parking gear in automatic transmissions, locks the drive shaft or rear wheels. The force applied by the parking brake is much less than that of the service brake, sufficient only to prevent the car from rolling when parked on a slope. Electronic Parking Brake System: The Electronic Parking Brake System (EPB: Electrical-Park-Brake) integrates the temporary braking function during driving with the long-term braking function after parking, and achieves parking braking through electronic control. The electronic handbrake is a technology that realizes parking braking via electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of the mechanical handbrake, both achieving parking control through the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads, except that the control method has changed from the previous mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button.

What to Pay Attention to When Driving on the Highway During the Probationary Period?

Precautions for driving on the highway during the probationary period include: 1. A novice driver must be accompanied by an experienced driver when driving on the highway during the probationary period. The accompanying driver must hold a driver's license for the same or a higher vehicle class for more than three years. When a driver operates a motor vehicle on the highway during the probationary period, they must be accompanied by a driver who has held a driver's license for the same or a higher vehicle class for more than three years. The accompanying driver should sit in the front passenger seat to guide the novice driver. Failure to be accompanied or having an unqualified accompanying driver will result in a fine. 2. Failure to display the "Probationary Driver" sign on the highway during the probationary period will result in a fine. During the probationary period, a motor vehicle must display a uniform probationary driver sign at the rear of the vehicle. Traffic police remind that if a probationary driver does not display the uniform sign at the rear of the vehicle, or if the sign cannot be properly recognized, or if the sign does not meet requirements (such as "New Driver" or self-printed signs), it will be considered as not displaying the sign, and a fine of 200 yuan will be imposed. 3. Accumulating 12 penalty points during the probationary period will result in the revocation of the driver's license. If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 penalty points during the probationary period, the driving qualification for the probationary vehicle class will be revoked. If the revoked driving qualification is not for the highest vehicle class, the driving qualification for the highest vehicle class will also be revoked. In other words, starting next year, if a "novice" driver runs a red light twice or commits one drunk driving offense, their driving qualification will be revoked.

Is the touch-up paint at a 4S shop the original factory paint?

Going to a 4S shop for touch-up paint does not involve the original factory paint. Any subsequent spray painting or refinishing means it is no longer the original factory paint. 4S shops do not use original factory paint; instead, they mix the paint based on the vehicle's original color. A significant portion of the paint is also supplied by professional paint mixing shops. There is no so-called original factory paint for touch-ups. The key factors to consider are: first, whether there is any color difference, and second, the quality of the spray application. Original factory paint is high-temperature paint, baked at temperatures of at least 130 degrees Celsius, which ensures strong adhesion and durability. In contrast, touch-up paint typically uses repair paint baked at around 80 degrees Celsius.

How to Check the Tread Depth of Car Tires?

Methods for checking the tread depth of car tires: You can use a caliper to measure the depth of the tire. Insert the tip of the caliper into several main tread grooves of the tire to detect the depth. When the tire wears down to a tread groove depth of only 1.6 millimeters, it must be replaced. Tires are circular elastic rubber products assembled on various vehicles or machinery for rolling contact with the ground. They are usually mounted on metal rims to support the vehicle body, cushion external impacts, achieve contact with the road surface, and ensure the vehicle's driving performance. During driving, tires undergo various deformations, loads, forces, and high and low temperature effects, so they must have high load-bearing capacity, traction performance, and cushioning performance.

Is the Auto Start-Stop On or Off When the Light is On?

When the auto start-stop light is on, it means the system is off. The engine start-stop button is usually located near the vehicle's gear lever or below the air conditioning panel. The engine auto start-stop system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle stops and restarts it when you continue driving. The working principle of the engine start-stop system is: when the vehicle stops due to congestion or at an intersection, the driver presses the brake pedal and shifts to neutral. At this point, the Start-Stop system automatically checks: the engine is idling and not in gear; the wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock system show zero; the electronic battery sensor indicates sufficient energy for the next start. Once these three conditions are met, the engine automatically stops.
