Why Can't the Brake Pedal Be Pressed Down During One-Button Start?

2 Answers

Here are the solutions for when the brake pedal can't be pressed down during one-button start: First, it's important to understand that a car's braking system operates most effectively when the engine is running. The brake booster is the key component behind vehicle braking, as it amplifies the force applied to the pedal. When the engine is off, the brake booster also stops functioning, and typically, pressing the brake pedal three times will deplete its stored energy. If the brake pedal can't be pressed down, it's likely because the vacuum in the vacuum booster has been exhausted from pressing the brake pedal multiple times while the engine was off. Since the engine isn't running, the vacuum cannot be replenished. If you encounter this issue, don't panic. You can press the one-button start to power on the vehicle, then apply extra force to press the brake pedal, which usually unlocks it. Many car owners have experienced this situation. If you haven't pressed the brake pedal unnecessarily after turning off the engine, the issue might lie with the brake pedal itself. In this case, it's advisable to visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair.

I encounter this issue quite often, especially during cold starts. For vehicles with push-button start, when the engine is off, the brake system loses its vacuum assist, which is why the pedal becomes hard to press. This happens because the brake booster relies on the vacuum force generated by the engine to help you press the brake pedal easily. Before driving, you can try pressing the start button without stepping on the brake to put the car in standby mode. Wait until you hear the engine running before pressing the brake, and it should feel normal. If the brake remains stiff after starting, there might be a vacuum leak or other component failure. I recommend developing a habit of regularly checking the brake fluid level and the booster to prevent worsening issues that could affect safety. Additionally, if the car doesn’t respond during push-button start, it might be time to replace the key fob battery. These small details all contribute to smooth daily driving.

What is the structure of a gasoline engine?

Conventional gasoline engines consist of components such as the fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel filter, air filter, carburetor, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, and exhaust muffler. Their function is to mix gasoline and air into an appropriate combustible mixture for delivery into the cylinders for combustion and to expel the exhaust gases generated from the engine. Specific details are as follows: Engine Block: This serves as the assembly base for all engine components. It includes the cylinder head, cylinder block, and lower crankcase (oil pan). The inner walls of the cylinder head and cylinder block together form part of the combustion chamber. Many parts of the engine block also function as components of other systems. Crankshaft Connecting Rod Mechanism: This is the mechanism through which the engine generates and transmits power, converting the linear reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion of the crankshaft to output power. It includes the piston, piston pin, connecting rod, crankshaft with flywheel, and cylinder block.

How Many Years of Driving License Are Required to Drive on Highways?

Generally, drivers can drive on highways after completing a one-year probationary period following obtaining their license. If the probationary period is extended by one year due to traffic violations, then it would be two years. During the probationary period, drivers must be accompanied by someone with at least three years of driving experience to drive on highways. Below are the relevant details: 1. Definition of highways: Highways, abbreviated as expressways, refer to roads specifically designed for high-speed vehicle travel. 2. Prohibited behaviors on highways: Reversing, driving in the opposite direction, making U-turns across the central divider, or stopping in the traffic lanes. Overtaking on ramps, acceleration lanes, or deceleration lanes. Riding or straddling lane dividers or driving on the shoulder. Driving or stopping in the emergency lane unless in an emergency. Testing vehicles or learning to drive motor vehicles. The cargo compartments of trucks driving on highways must not carry passengers. Two-wheeled motorcycles must not carry passengers when driving on highways.

How long does it take to restore 12 points after deducting 9 points from a driver's license?

To restore the points, the violator must hold their own ID card and driver's license, and apply for the penalty point processing procedure at the vehicle management office within the current scoring cycle. After completion, the points on the driver's license will be reset to zero in the next scoring cycle. Below is the relevant information: 1. Scoring cycle: The cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a full score of 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driver's license is first issued. 2. Scoring rules: If a motor vehicle driver's points do not reach 12 within a scoring cycle and the imposed fines have been paid, the points will be cleared; if the points do not reach 12 but there are still unpaid fines, the points will be carried over to the next scoring cycle.

Will a tire be punctured if it runs over a glass bottle?

A tire that runs over a glass bottle may not be punctured on the first day, but it could still be punctured on the second day. This is because glass fragments may get lodged in the tire tread, and as the tire is used, the pressure on the glass shards can cause them to penetrate deeper, potentially puncturing the tire's inner liner. When inflating a tire, pay attention to the following points: Always use a pressure gauge to check the tire pressure to avoid over-inflation, which could cause the tire to burst. After stopping, wait for the tire to cool down before inflating, as driving increases tire temperature, which affects pressure. Check the valve stem. If the valve stem and core are not properly aligned or have defects, it may be difficult to inflate or measure pressure. Ensure clean air when inflating. The air should not contain moisture or oil, as these can deteriorate the inner tube rubber. Do not exceed the standard pressure significantly and then release air, nor over-inflate due to prolonged inability to inflate while traveling. Over-inflation can overstretch the tire cords, reducing their strength and shortening tire lifespan. Before inflating, clean the valve stem of dust and ensure the valve core is secure. After inflating, apply soapy water (or saliva) to the valve stem to check for leaks (bubbles indicate leaks). Install the valve cap tightly to prevent dirt from entering. When inflating radial tires, their larger contact area and greater deflection may lead to misjudgment of under-inflation or over-inflation. Use a standard pressure gauge for accurate measurement. The recommended pressure for radial tires is 0.5-1.5 kg/cm² higher than that of conventional tires.

Which finger is used for the fingerprint in Subject 2?

Subject 2 fingerprint recording generally requires the use of the thumb, index finger, or middle finger. According to examination regulations, candidate identity verification is required before both Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests, primarily through ID card verification and fingerprint scanning. Theoretically, if fingerprint recording is part of the pre-exam process in your region, it is a mandatory step before the test begins. Below is related information: 1. Definition of Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the field driving skills test. 2. Content of Subject 2: The test includes five mandatory items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving.

Is a mock test still necessary for the second attempt at Subject 2?

The necessity of a mock test entirely depends on the candidate's confidence level. If the candidate feels fully prepared, a mock test may not be required. Purpose of the mock test: It aims to familiarize candidates with the exam environment and allows instructors to point out areas prone to point deductions. Therefore, mock tests are absolutely essential—thorough preparation is key to optimal performance. Definition of Subject 2: Subject 2, also known as the small road test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment and refers to the field driving skills examination. Content of Subject 2: For car licenses C1 and C2, the test items include five mandatory components: reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, right-angle turns, and curve driving (commonly known as S-turns).
