Why does the car still move forward after braking?

1 Answers

Modern cars are generally equipped with ABS anti-lock braking systems, so it's normal for the vehicle to move forward for a short distance after braking. The ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) detects impending wheel lock-up through sensors installed on the wheels. The controller then commands the modulator to reduce hydraulic pressure in the wheel cylinders, decreasing braking torque, before restoring the original pressure after a certain interval. This constant cycling (up to 5-10 times per second) keeps the wheels rotating while maintaining maximum braking torque. For vehicles without ABS, when the brake pedal is pressed hard during driving, the wheel speed decreases rapidly. If the braking force exceeds the friction between the tires and road surface, the wheels will lock up. Locked front wheels reduce tire-road friction, making it impossible for the driver to control the vehicle's direction. Locked rear wheels make the car prone to skidding.

What Causes Coolant Leaks?

Coolant leaks can be caused by: 1. Sealing issues in the cooling system; 2. Loose connections between the antifreeze tank and radiator in the cooling system; 3. Aging and cracking of rubber hoses or corrosion and perforation of the radiator. The functions of coolant include: 1. Preventing freezing and expansion damage to the radiator and engine cylinder block during cold weather; 2. Protecting metal components from corrosion and rubber parts from aging; 3. Reducing scale buildup to avoid clogging circulation pipes and impairing the cooling system's heat dissipation; 4. Preventing engine overheating to ensure normal operating temperature; 5. Providing lubrication for the water pump, thermostat, and other components.

What three photos are needed for crossing the yellow line?

The three photos for crossing the yellow line are the instant violation photo, license plate recognition photo, and panoramic photo. Below are the specific introductions for each photo: 1. Instant violation photo: When the front wheels of the car pass over the induction coil of the solid line on the ground, the electronic eye automatic recognition system captures the line-crossing violation. Unlike capturing running a red light, which requires photos from the opposite intersection to count as three, capturing a line-crossing violation only needs three photos for evidence. 2. License plate recognition photo: When the car continues to drive over the solid line on the ground, and the vehicle body increasingly crosses the line. 3. Panoramic photo: When the car successfully changes lanes by crossing the solid line or continues to drive forward while crossing the line.

How to Use Lights When Driving in the Rain?

Turn on your lights under the following conditions when driving in the rain: 1. Heavy rain: Rainwater itself obstructs visibility, and water on the road surface can be kicked up by the tires of the vehicle in front, creating a mist that also significantly affects visibility. In such cases, you should turn on your headlights or front fog lights. Some worry that fog lights may dazzle the vehicle ahead, but if the fog lights are properly designed, this won't happen. Fog lights are not meant for illumination; their beams are scattered, making them bright but not dazzling. 2. Torrential rain: Rear fog lights should only be turned on during very heavy rain. The red taillights already have excellent penetration power, and ordinary heavy rain usually doesn't block their light. Rear fog lights are extremely bright and designed to cut through thick fog. Using them in normal rainy conditions can easily dazzle the driver behind, compromising safety if their visibility is affected.

What to Do If Zotye Stops Production of Parts?

If 'original parts' cannot be found, try buying 'aftermarket parts.' If even aftermarket parts are unavailable, then one can only seek parts overseas through various channels. However, the cost of car repairs will also increase. For example, for an old model Freelander (first generation), one can only purchase parts overseas and have them shipped back to the country, which can take over a month. Actually, so-called 'salvaged parts' generally refer to parts from vehicles that have been scrapped due to accidents. These parts are disassembled and sold if they are still usable. Salvaged parts are essentially second-hand parts. These second-hand parts are usually cheaper, but for some rare or unusual car models, one might have no choice but to use salvaged parts for repairs.

Is the Inspection Exemption Label Still Required to Be Displayed on Vehicles?

Exempted vehicles are not required to display the inspection label. I. Digitalization of Vehicle Inspection Labels: Following the implementation of electronic insurance policies, insurance companies will issue policyholders an 'electronic document in the form of data messages that serves as proof of the motor vehicle insurance contract relationship,' known as the electronic insurance policy. This serves as a digital replacement for paper insurance policies and endorsements, carrying the same legal validity. Subsequently, insurance companies will send download links for the electronic policy to the policyholder's registered mobile number and email address. II. Precautions During Annual Inspection: 1. The annual inspection includes an exhaust emission test to ensure compliance. 2. Vehicle owners should wash their cars thoroughly before the inspection. 3. The vehicle management office will inspect the vehicle's lighting systems.
