The position of the parking brake in an automatic transmission car varies depending on the make and model, with different designs as follows: 1. Traditional "pull-handle" mechanical parking brakes and electronic parking brakes are located next to the gear lever, while foot-operated parking brakes are on the left side of the brake pedal. 2. More advanced "auto-hold systems" do not require pressing any buttons or switches; the parking brake is automatically engaged when the car stops. Additional information: 1. The professional term for the parking brake is the auxiliary brake, which operates differently from the main brake. It uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to apply braking force. 2. Long-term use of the parking brake can cause the steel cable to undergo plastic deformation. Since this deformation is irreversible, prolonged use may reduce its effectiveness and increase the parking brake's travel distance.

What automatic transmission is installed in the Alto?

The manufacturer of the Alto's automatic transmission is Aisin. Established in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned professional developer and manufacturer of automotive automatic transmissions. In the field of automotive automatic transmissions, Aisin's products hold the highest market share globally. The Alto's automatic transmission uses a 4-speed automatic transmission. Automatic transmission: During driving, the transmission will automatically adjust to the most appropriate gear ratio based on the throttle position and vehicle speed. When using the Alto's automatic transmission in daily driving, pay attention to the following points: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for too long. Prolonged failure to change the transmission oil can lead to damage to internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for extended periods. Many experienced drivers may coast in neutral when driving manual transmission vehicles, but for automatic transmission vehicles, coasting in neutral can cause the transmission to overheat and may result in a noticeable jolt when shifting back into Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Some drivers, aiming for a smooth operation, shift into reverse while the vehicle is still moving, which can cause significant damage to the transmission gears and may lead to gear grinding or other faults over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D). On steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high load or shift up too early, resulting in insufficient climbing power. In such cases, use manual mode to lock in a lower gear or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck to move the vehicle onto the tow platform while it is in Neutral (N). Avoid using tow ropes or dragging the vehicle directly.

The reasons why the Lavida's headlights suddenly stop working are: 1. The car bulb is damaged; 2. The car battery is low on power, and the electronic system cannot supply electricity; 3. The temperature of the bulb wire is too high, increasing the line resistance, which causes the car headlights to stop working; 4. Excessive use of electrical appliances in the car, and the generator operating under overload for too long will burn out the internal diodes, leading to the failure of the car headlights.

What is the Scrap Age Limit for SUVs?

There is no scrap age limit for household SUVs, only a scrap mileage limit. When the normal driving mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the vehicle to be scrapped. In addition, household 5-seater sedans and non-operational small and micro vehicles, small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles, large non-operational sedans, and wheeled special-purpose vehicles also have no usage age limit. When the normal driving mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the vehicle to be scrapped. For small and micro taxi passenger vehicles, the scrap age limit is 8 years; for medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles, it is 10 years; and for large taxi passenger vehicles, it is 12 years. The scrap age limit for public transport passenger vehicles is 13 years, while for other small and micro operational passenger vehicles, it is 10 years, and for large and medium-sized operational passenger vehicles, it is 15 years. The scrap age limit for micro operational trucks is 8 years, while for light and large operational trucks, it is 10 years. Guided scrapping is a recommendation for scrapping, but if the vehicle still meets the requirements for continued use, it does not have to be scrapped. Mandatory scrapping means the vehicle must, without exception, be scrapped. There are four criteria for mandatory scrapping: (1) reaching the stipulated usage age limit; (2) failing to meet the national safety technical standards for in-use vehicles even after repairs and adjustments; (3) failing to meet national standards for pollutant emissions or noise levels even after repairs, adjustments, or the use of control technologies; (4) not obtaining the vehicle inspection qualification mark for three consecutive inspection cycles after the inspection validity period expires.
