Will the ABS Anti-lock Braking System Increase Braking Distance?

ABS anti-lock braking system will shorten the braking distance. Functions of ABS: The anti-lock braking system can improve the safety factor of emergency braking while driving. In other words, for vehicles without ABS, when emergency braking is applied in critical situations, the tires are prone to lock up, meaning the steering wheel cannot be turned, thereby increasing the risk factor and potentially leading to severe consequences. Precautions for using ABS: During ABS braking, the rapid retraction and release actions of the brake calipers will frequently compress high-pressure brake fluid, producing noticeable noise, and the brake pedal may vibrate and push back against the foot. Do not be disturbed by these phenomena while driving. In emergency situations, use ABS braking without hesitation, firmly pressing the brake pedal all the way down and not releasing it.

Where is the anti-skid switch on the 2015 Focus?

Traction control off means anti-skid off. Some configurations have it in the center console settings, while the lowest trim does not have an anti-skid switch. Here is an introduction to the anti-skid switch: 1. ESP: The Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Traction Control System (TCS), Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR), and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) are all derivatives of the car's anti-skid system, with ESP being the highest form of the anti-skid system. 2. Main function: The main function of ESP is to control the longitudinal and lateral stability of the vehicle, ensuring that the vehicle moves according to the driver's intentions. Since ESP is enabled by default, it means that ESP should remain enabled during normal driving conditions. 3. Electronic Stability Program: Under certain road conditions and vehicle load conditions, the maximum adhesion force that the wheels can provide is a fixed value. That is, under extreme conditions, the longitudinal force (along the rolling direction of the wheel) and the lateral force (perpendicular to the rolling direction of the wheel) are inversely related. The Electronic Stability Program can independently control the longitudinal braking force of each wheel, thereby influencing the lateral force and improving the vehicle's handling performance.

How to switch the dashboard display on a 2013 Audi A4L?

Here is the relevant introduction to switching the dashboard display on a 2013 Audi A4L: 1. Layout switching: If the style switching refers to layout switching, you need to use a 5053 data cable + VCDS software to enable this function within the first 100KM mileage of the new car. (Enabling means modifying a certain register value) After enabling, press the left menu button on the dashboard display where the time is shown, and you should be able to access the selection interface option. 2. Display information: The second issue should be addressed by pressing the right menu button on the display where the time is shown, then selecting to display additional information, where you can choose to show fuel consumption, elapsed time, average speed, and other information. 3. Map function: For the third issue, press the two left and right TAB switching buttons on the upper left side of the multifunction steering wheel to switch the page to the map. Note that after connecting to CarPlay, the dashboard's built-in map function will not be displayed, replaced instead by an electronic compass.

What parts need to be replaced after a car has run 40,000 kilometers?

Here is a detailed introduction to the parts that need to be replaced after a car has run 40,000 kilometers: Engine oil and oil filter: For normal models, they must be replaced every 5,000 kilometers or six months. If full synthetic oil is used, the interval can be extended up to 8,000 kilometers. If the car hasn't reached 5,000 kilometers, the oil and filter should still be replaced at least every six months. Air filter and cabin air filter: The air filter and cabin air filter should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers or two years. In areas with poor climate conditions or heavy dust, this interval should be shortened to one year. Fuel filter, brake fluid, and transmission fluid: A major service is required every 40,000 kilometers, including replacement of the fuel filter and all brake fluid. For automatic transmission models, the transmission fluid should also be replaced. For rear-wheel-drive vehicles, the differential oil needs to be changed as well. Tires: Even if the tire wear isn't severe after 40,000 kilometers, they should still be replaced. Battery: The car battery should be replaced every two years. Generally, a vehicle's mileage over two years is around 40,000 kilometers. Even if the car hasn't reached 40,000 kilometers, the battery's charge level should still be checked.

What Does a New Car Inspection Check?

Here is a detailed introduction to the inspection items at a new car inspection site: Check the body paint: Inspect the paint for scratches, spots, dents, and wear. Observe the paint under sufficient sunlight to check for color differences. Open the car doors and adjust them to several angles to allow light to shine from different directions, checking if the sheet metal is smooth and if there are any signs of repair. Check the vehicle identification plate: The vehicle identification plate is located on the side of the driver's door or inside the engine compartment. Check if the manufacturing date is too far in the past. If the time exceeds six months, the car may be a stock vehicle or a test drive car. Also, ensure the information on the vehicle identification plate matches that on the vehicle certificate. Check the windshield: The numbers represent the most recent production year, and the dots represent the production month. If the dots are on the left side of the number, it indicates production in the first half of the year—subtract the number of black dots from 7 to get the specific year. If the dots are on the right side of the number, it indicates production in the second half of the year—subtract the number of black dots from 13 to get the specific year. If the windshield production date is too far from the new car's production date (a year or more), the windshield may have been replaced. Check if the engine compartment is clean: If the vehicle has been stored for a long time or used, some areas may have obvious dust or stains. Also, check if the engine oil level is sufficient and if other fluid levels meet the standards. Check if the doors open and close smoothly: Ensure there is no noise when the door hinges rotate, the gaps between the doors and the front and rear bumpers are consistent, and the doors can be closed in one smooth motion. Check the tire production date: If the tire production date is significantly older than the car's delivery date, it should be noted. Check the vehicle's basic functions: Ensure the windows can be raised and lowered normally, the air conditioning cools properly, there are no strange odors from the vents, the dashboard functions operate correctly, the wipers work, the lights turn on properly, and the sunroof opens and closes smoothly, among other things.

Which Year's Cars Comply with China IV Standards?

Vehicles produced after July 1, 2011, comply with the China IV standard. The China V emission standard was implemented on July 1, 2017, so vehicles meeting the China IV emission standards were manufactured between 2011 and 2017. Here is some related information: 1. Emission Standards: As global environmental pollution becomes increasingly severe, countries worldwide are implementing stricter emission standards, which greatly benefit the protection of the Earth's environment. 2. Exhaust Treatment: Under strict emission standards, automakers actively develop new technologies to reduce engine exhaust emissions.
