Electronic handbrake is released but the car still cannot move because the power assistance system adopts an electronic power assistance form. The following is an introduction to the electronic handbrake: 1. Related introduction: The electronic handbrake 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 pad to control parking braking, except that the control method has changed from the previous mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. The electronic handbrake is also known as the electronic parking brake system. The electronic parking brake system integrates the temporary braking function during driving with the long-term braking function after parking, and achieves parking braking through electronic control technology. 2. Advantages of the electronic handbrake: (1) Very space-saving: It is only the size of a button, and the saved space is naturally converted into storage space, such as cup holders and other user-friendly features. (2) Automatic release: Unlike the mechanical handbrake, which must be manually lowered/released, most electronic handbrakes are automatically released when the accelerator is pressed. This is undoubtedly a great boon for novices who often forget to release the handbrake when driving.

How to Evacuate and Vacuum a Car Air Conditioning System?

The following describes the method for evacuating and vacuuming a car air conditioning system: 1. Connect the high and low-pressure hoses to the compressor's high and low-pressure ports respectively, and connect the middle hose to the vacuum pump. 2. Open the high and low-pressure manual valves and start the vacuum pump: At this time, pay attention to the readings on the pressure gauge. The optimal vacuum reading should be between 98.7-99.9 kPa. 3. Close the high and low-pressure manual valves and observe whether the pressure gauge readings rebound: If the readings increase, it indicates a leak in the system, and the system should be repaired first. If the readings remain stable, reopen the high and low-pressure manual valves and continue vacuuming for approximately 15-30 minutes until the vacuum pressure gauge stabilizes. 4. Close the high and low-pressure manual valves and the vacuum pump: Pay attention to the sequence of closing—always close the high and low-pressure manual valves first, followed by the vacuum pump.

How to Remove Odor Inside a New Car?

Here are the methods to remove odor inside a new car: 1. Place bamboo charcoal bags. The most effective activated carbon currently is coconut shell-based activated carbon, a natural material derived from coconut shells. It primarily relies on physical adsorption, featuring high absorption capacity, long lifespan, fast adsorption rate, and thorough adsorption. It contains no chemical additives and is less likely to cause secondary pollution. 2. Use formaldehyde removers. Generally, the odors in cars come from formaldehyde emitted by plastic interiors and seats. Formaldehyde removers can be used to quickly and effectively eliminate formaldehyde odors. 3. Place air fresheners or similar items. Filling the car with fragrance can mask the unpleasant odors inside.

What is a Segmented Sunroof?

Here is relevant information about segmented sunroofs: 1. Segmented opening sunroofs are divided into dual-panel panoramic sunroofs and spliced panoramic sunroofs. Dual-panel panoramic sunroof: Above the front seats, it remains an ordinary sunroof like a standard one, while above the rear seats, designers add an unopenable 'sunroof' to allow more light into the cabin, achieving an effect similar to a panoramic sunroof. 2. Spliced panoramic sunroof: Composed of front and rear sunroofs, but the two overlap slightly, resembling a single unit. With a very large sunroof area, this type can also be classified as a fully openable panoramic sunroof.

What is the Difference Between Mild Hybrid and Hybrid Vehicles?

The differences between mild hybrid and hybrid vehicles are as follows: 1. The working mode of mild hybrid differs from that of strong hybrid; 2. Mild hybrid vehicles are equipped with a motor of much smaller power and a battery of much smaller capacity. 3. Mild hybrid is one type of hybrid power system. 4. The motor in mild hybrid vehicles operates for a shorter duration, with most of the time relying on the internal combustion engine for power supply. The motor in mild hybrid vehicles has lower power, and the battery capacity is also smaller. Additional Information: 1. Currently, most hybrid vehicles use a strong hybrid system, where the motor has higher power, the battery has a larger capacity, the motor operates for a longer time, and the dependence on the internal combustion engine is reduced. However, some manufacturers still use mild hybrid or even micro hybrid systems. For example, the Mercedes-Benz C260 sedan is equipped with a 48V motor, making it a typical micro hybrid vehicle. In the Mercedes-Benz C260, the internal combustion engine works most of the time, and the motor only supplies power at very low speeds. During full acceleration, both the motor and the engine work together to supply power to the vehicle. 2. With the advancement of hybrid technology, there are now many plug-in hybrid vehicles available. Plug-in hybrid vehicles have larger battery capacities and more powerful motors.

What Causes the Plastic Friction Sound When Turning the Steering Wheel?

The reasons for the plastic friction sound when turning the steering wheel are as follows: There are many causes for friction sounds when turning the steering wheel, including friction between plastic components; issues with the steering wheel airbag clock spring; aging of the steering tie rod ball joint; loosening or damage of the stabilizer bar; problems with the shock absorber plane bearing; improper tightness or aging of the power steering belt, etc. Additional details: 1. Problems with the shock absorber plane bearing. A lack of lubrication in the shock absorber plane bearing can also cause abnormal sounds. The inspection method is as follows: open the engine hood and listen to see if the sound is coming from the top of the shock absorber. Solution: Apply some grease to the shock absorber plane bearing. If this doesn't work, the part will need to be replaced. 2. Aging of the steering tie rod ball joint. In this case, besides producing abnormal sounds, it can also cause shaking. The solution is to replace the steering tie rod ball joint. It's important to note that after replacing the part, a four-wheel alignment should be performed.

What is the difference between the total mass and the curb weight on the vehicle license?

The differences between the total mass and the curb weight on the vehicle license are as follows: 1. Different scope: The total mass of the vehicle = curb weight + driver and passenger mass + luggage mass. The scope of the total mass is larger. 2. Different indicators: The curb weight of the vehicle is closely related to the design level, manufacturing level, and industrialization level of the vehicle, while the total mass represents the sum of all masses. Extended information: 1. The curb weight of the vehicle refers to the weight of the vehicle when it is fully equipped according to the factory technical conditions (such as spare tires, tools, etc.) and all fluids are filled. The total mass (G) of the vehicle refers to the weight when the vehicle is fully equipped and loaded with passengers (including the driver) and cargo as specified. 2. The curb weight of the vehicle, also known as the unladen weight, refers to the fully equipped mass of the vehicle, including lubricants, fuel, onboard tools, spare tires, and all other devices. The curb weight is commonly referred to as the vehicle's own weight, and its standard definition is the dry mass of the vehicle plus the mass of coolant and fuel (not less than 90% of the tank capacity) as well as the spare wheel and onboard accessories.
