Porsche uses an electronic parking brake, which no longer has a handbrake lever but is an electronic button. Its location is not in the traditional handbrake lever position of conventional cars. Instead, it is positioned below the steering wheel, in the same area as the light controls, and marked with a 'P' symbol. More details are as follows: 1. The working principle of the electronic parking system is the same as that of the manual mechanical parking brake system. It achieves parking by clamping the friction between the brake shoes and the brake drum or between the friction pads and the brake disc. However, the control method is replaced by electronic buttons and motor actions instead of the original manual operation and mechanical linkage. Therefore, the system is fully called the electronically controlled mechanical parking brake system. 2. Currently, there are two main forms of electronic parking brake technology applied in cars: one is the cable-type electronic parking brake system, and the other is the caliper-integrated electronic parking brake system. 3. The cable-type electronic parking brake system retains the cable of the traditional mechanical parking brake system. The motor components are integrated into the left and right rear brake calipers, and the electronic control unit (ECU) and motor components are directly connected via electrical wiring harnesses.

Which vehicles are equipped with particulate filters?

Volkswagen Tayron, T-Roc and other models are equipped with particulate filters. Below is an introduction to particulate filters: 1. Definition: A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the exhaust system of diesel engines, which captures particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. 2. Function: The particulate filter can reduce engine-generated soot by more than 90%. The captured particulate emissions are then burned off during vehicle operation. When the amount of adsorbed particulates reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites and burns, converting the adsorbed carbon soot particles into harmless carbon dioxide that is then expelled.

How to control the right-side distance while driving?

While driving, you can control the right-side distance by observing the rearview mirror or the right one-third of the car's hood. The right one-third of the car's hood indicates the position of the right wheel. Below is an introduction to car rearview mirrors: 1. Definition: Car rearview mirrors are located on the left and right sides of the car's front and inside the car. They reflect the situation behind, beside, and below the car, allowing the driver to indirectly see these areas. They serve as "second eyes," expanding the driver's field of vision. 2. Classification: Rearview mirrors can be divided by installation location into exterior rearview mirrors, lower rearview mirrors, and interior rearview mirrors. By purpose, exterior rearview mirrors reflect the rear and side of the car, lower rearview mirrors reflect the front and lower part of the car, and interior rearview mirrors reflect the rear and interior of the car. Different purposes result in different mirror structures.

What does it mean when the car skid warning light is on?

There are two reasons why the car's anti-skid warning light stays on: first, the road surface is indeed slippery, and second, there is a malfunction in the anti-lock braking system. Generally, the second reason is more common because the warning light caused by a slippery road surface is temporary. It is recommended to go to a 4S shop for inspection and timely repair. Below is an introduction to the car's ABS: 1. Importance: The car's braking system plays a very important role in daily driving, providing a good guarantee for safe driving. 2. An important component of the braking system: The ABS anti-lock braking system is an important part of the braking system. Because of the ABS, the owner can brake more safely when braking. Therefore, if the car's ABS system fails, it can be very dangerous. 3. Function: If the ABS is damaged, its function will not work in the case of emergency braking. The ABS system prevents the tires from locking up during emergency braking, avoiding accidents.

Is It Dangerous to Switch from Manual to Automatic Transmission?

Switching from manual to automatic transmission is not dangerous. Here is an introduction to automatic transmission vehicles: 1. Definition: Generally, cars that use automatic transmissions (AT) to adjust speed. While driving, the control system of the automatic transmission automatically selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load, replacing the driver's subjective judgment of timing and gear shifting operations. 2. Overview: Automatic transmission vehicles typically use a hydraulic transmission device to replace the mechanical clutch of manual transmission vehicles, hence there is no clutch pedal. When the engine speed is low, the torque transmitted by the fluid is limited and insufficient to propel the car forward. When the gear lever is placed in the drive position and the brake pedal is released, as the throttle is applied and the engine speed increases, the transmitted torque increases, pushing the car forward.
