The electronic handbrake is located in front of the driver's left leg. Here are the specific details: Wheelbase: The wheelbase is as long as 2755 mm, with wide front and rear tracks, and adopts a short suspension system and a tire inner ring tightening metal sheet design to further enhance vehicle stability. 17-inch wheels are standard, and 18-inch wheels are optional. Vertical lighting design: The vertical lighting design is adopted, with new iconic LED headlights and door handles with self-illuminating function and active grille design, enhancing the vehicle's sense of technology, fashion and functionality. When driving on the highway at a certain speed, the grille system will actively close to reduce aerodynamic drag and improve fuel economy. Interior design: The interior design uses a lot of advanced technology and exquisite materials, even the position of the pedals and gear lever has been carefully considered. The optional high-performance seats have electric adjustable control function, optimizing the lateral support for the driver in high-speed cornering situations.

If you're a driver of a Cadillac ATS, let me tell you, its parking brake isn't the traditional pull-lever type but an electronic button, usually located near the gear shift on the center console, on the driver's side. Just look down to your left, and you'll find a button with a 'P' symbol—press it lightly to engage the parking brake. The advantage of this design is that it saves space and is smart, avoiding the awkwardness of a stuck lever. For example, my friend's ATS had an electronic system issue due to a dead battery, causing the parking brake to lock. In such cases, you need to check the battery or call a tow truck, but under normal use, it's very convenient. Remember, always ensure it's engaged when parking, or the car might roll on a slope. The ATS's electronic parking brake is fast and reliable. If you're a new owner, familiarize yourself with the manual to avoid misuse—it helps prolong the car's lifespan. In short, the electronic parking brake is easy to locate, but don't overlook regular maintenance. A good car depends on proper care.

Hi, I've been driving my ATS for two years now. Every time I park, the parking brake is right next to the gear shift—a round button marked 'P'. Just press it with your finger to lock it in place, no need to pull a lever with effort. The placement is really thoughtful; it doesn't block the cup holder like in older cars, and the dashboard lights up to show its status. When I was a newbie, I was especially worried about making a mistake, but after a few tries, I got used to it. It's actually an electronic parking brake, super responsive—stop and go as you shift gears, of course, as long as the battery is working properly. Once, I forgot to turn it off, and the car automatically reminded me, avoiding danger. I recommend owners regularly check the wiring to prevent malfunctions. In daily use, there are no major issues—this detail in the ATS is super practical.

The ATS features an electronic parking brake button located near the gear shift lever on the center console. Press once to engage and press again to release. While traditionalists appreciate the tactile feel of a handbrake lever, this electronic version offers enhanced safety and stability, particularly preventing errors during hill starts. Its well-positioned design saves space and prevents accidental activation. Regular checks are recommended.

Has the difficulty of hill start for Haval M6 been solved?

Haval M6 does not have difficulty in hill start. The following is the explanation of Haval M6's hill start: 1. Operate with the combination of gear, brake and accelerator. Adjust the appropriate seat position and steering wheel position. 2. The hill start assist of Haval M6 is enabled by default. When the car is parked on a slope, put it in neutral and release the brake, there will be a brief pause. The so-called hill start assist is aimed at the start on a slope. For cars without hill start assist, when starting, the parking brake system will be activated when the handbrake is released. If the gear is not engaged, the car will roll backward. However, when equipped with hill start assist control, because the hill start assist control can prevent the vehicle from rolling backward, the driver can easily start the car and operate the pedals calmly.

Where are the drainage holes located on the BMW 3 Series?

The BMW 3 Series has four sunroof drainage tubes, all located in the pillars beside the front and rear windshields. The sunroof is sealed with rubber gaskets, so it's important to keep them dust-free during use, especially in winter or after long trips. Regular cleaning with a duster is recommended. If the BMW engine overheats, follow these steps: 1. Slow down immediately: After slowing down, pull over to a safe spot on the roadside. 2. Do not turn off the engine immediately: After stopping, avoid shutting down the engine right away, as high water temperatures can cause excessive heat in the pistons, cylinder walls, cylinders, and crankshaft, thinning the oil and reducing lubrication. Turning off the engine could lead to soft metal parts detaching or even cylinder seizure. 3. Let the engine idle for a few minutes: Set the air conditioning to the warmest setting, turn the fan to maximum, and open the hood to help dissipate heat. Only turn off the engine after the water temperature has dropped.

Can you turn on a yellow dashed line?

When exiting an intersection, you can turn if you encounter double yellow dashed lines. Whether it's a single yellow line or double yellow lines, as long as they are solid lines, crossing is strictly prohibited, such as overtaking, turning, or making a U-turn. Under normal driving conditions, you should not cross the line. Whether it's a single yellow line or double yellow lines, as long as they are dashed lines, you can overtake or make a U-turn when it's safe to do so. Here is additional information: Notes: If there are double yellow lines where one is solid and the other is dashed, vehicles on the side with the dashed line can temporarily cross, such as for overtaking or turning. White lines are used to distinguish different lanes in the same direction, meaning all traffic is moving in the same direction. Dashed lines indicate that lane changes are allowed, while solid lines mean lane changes are not permitted and you should not switch lanes arbitrarily.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of a long wheelbase?

Long-wheelbase cars offer more interior space, but the downside is higher body rigidity. Below is an introduction to the pros and cons of wheelbase length: Introduction to the differences between long and short wheelbases: Wheelbase is the distance from the center of the front axle to the center of the rear axle of a car. It can be simply understood as the distance from the front wheel center to the rear wheel center. Generally speaking, the longer the wheelbase, the larger the interior space, the better the ride comfort, and the higher the cruising stability. However, as the wheelbase increases, the turning radius also increases, reducing vehicle agility, and the body becomes heavier, leading to poorer maneuverability. Introduction to short-wheelbase models: The biggest advantage of short-wheelbase models is better handling, improved rear-end tracking, and a relatively smaller turning radius. For SUV models, the short-wheelbase version has a larger approach angle, giving it better off-road capability than the long-wheelbase version. However, the short-wheelbase version also has obvious drawbacks, namely relatively smaller interior space.

Is it serious if the engine oil is slightly above the maximum mark?

If the engine oil is only slightly above the maximum mark, it won't have a significant impact. However, excessive oil can increase fuel consumption, reduce engine power, accelerate carbon buildup, damage certain car components, cause crankshaft oil seal leakage, and shorten the oil's service life. Precautions when adding engine oil: When adding oil, ensure the oil level is slightly below the mark on the dipstick. Engine oil is crucial for engine operation as it performs two major functions: lubrication and heat dissipation. Therefore, the engine should never run low on oil. However, adding too much oil can have adverse effects. Effects of excessive engine oil: If there is too much oil, the engine's moving parts will churn violently during operation, increasing internal power loss and causing more oil to splash onto the cylinder walls. This can lead to oil burning and exhaust issues. Additionally, an overfilled engine can create unnecessary resistance to the crankshaft's rotation, reducing power output and increasing fuel consumption.

Where is the fuse for the brake light?

Car brake light fuses are generally located in the engine compartment, while some may be on the side of the driver's seat. The position of the brake light fuse varies depending on the vehicle model. Below is a detailed introduction to automotive lighting: 1. Signal lights: Including turn signals (hazard lights) and brake lights. Proper use of signal lights is crucial for safe driving. 2. Turn signals: Activated when the vehicle is turning, flashing intermittently to alert surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. 3. Brake lights: These are highly bright and are used to inform the following vehicle that the front vehicle is slowing down or stopping. Improper use of this light can easily lead to rear-end collisions. 4. Night driving lights and width indicator lights: Driving lights, commonly known as headlights, should be used appropriately by switching to low beam during oncoming traffic and promptly returning to high beam afterward to extend visibility and compensate for reduced clarity during oncoming traffic. Changing between high and low beams should be used to signal when passing intersections or overtaking; Width indicator lights, commonly known as parking lights, are used to display the width and length of the vehicle at night.
