The Odyssey is equipped with an electronic parking brake, and the electronic parking brake button is located on the left side of the steering wheel. Some Odyssey models without an electronic parking brake use a foot brake design. The electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both of which use the friction generated between the brake disc and the brake pads to control parking braking. The only difference is that the control method has changed from the previous mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. Compared with the traditional manual mechanical parking brake system, the electronic parking brake system has the following advantages: 1. The parking brake handle is eliminated in the cabin, providing more design space for the interior styling of the entire vehicle. 2. The parking brake is replaced by a button instead of the driver having to pull the parking brake handle with force, making it simple and labor-saving, and reducing the operational intensity for drivers, especially female drivers. 3. With the continuous development of automotive electronic parking control technology, the system can not only achieve basic functions such as static parking, static release (off), and automatic release (off), but also adds auxiliary functions such as automatic parking and dynamic parking.

Will 4S Stores Sell Used Cars as New Cars?

4S stores will not sell used cars as new cars. 4S stores have dedicated used car sales, and the source of used cars in 4S stores is basically some trade-in vehicles. The so-called trade-in vehicles are when car owners exchange their old cars for new ones, offsetting some of the cost of the new car, and these trade-in vehicles become the used cars sold by the 4S store. Methods to identify used cars are as follows: Check the left and right shoulders: Drive the vehicle onto a flat surface and stand 3 meters in front of it to see if the left and right shoulders of the vehicle are at the same height. If they are not the same, it means the vehicle's frame has been repaired or the suspension and shock absorbers have not been fixed. Check the hood: Observe whether the gaps on both sides of the engine hood are even. If the difference is too large, it may indicate a possibility of collision. Such vehicles should be avoided as much as possible. External components: Check the headlights for signs of aging, the edge gaps for symmetry. Look at the tire tread patterns for signs of aging or wear. Observe whether the glass sealing strips are neat; check for labels on the glass windows and whether all labels are from the same brand.

What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for a 2.0t engine?

2.0t engine fuel consumption is approximately 11 liters per 100 kilometers. The following are specific factors affecting fuel consumption: Fuel consumption is related to engine type: Turbocharged engines consume more fuel than regular engines because they intake more air, requiring more energy to convert the air. Fuel consumption is related to driving habits: A vehicle's fuel consumption is influenced by the driver's habits, such as sudden braking and cold starts, which can increase fuel consumption. Fuel consumption is related to road conditions: Frequently driving on mountain roads, steep roads, or in urban traffic congestion can all lead to increased vehicle fuel consumption.

Can the proximity of 1st gear and reverse gear lead to mis-shifting?

Reverse gear requires a certain amount of force to press down. While holding it down, push it to the left-front direction to engage. Without pressing down, a gentle push to the left-front engages 1st gear. This pressing-down action can be understood as unlocking the reverse gear lock, so mis-shifting is generally unlikely. Here is additional information: Reverse gear introduction: Reverse gear is a driving gear found in all vehicles, usually marked with a capital letter R. After shifting into reverse, the vehicle's movement direction is opposite to that of forward gears, enabling the car to move backward. Principle: When the driver moves the gear lever to the reverse position, the reverse output gear inside the transmission engages with the output shaft, driving the output shaft to rotate in the opposite direction, ultimately causing the wheels to rotate in reverse for reversing.
