A car will not speed up sliding as expected in a downslope distance; it will keep the speed or slow down, even need to step on the accelerator because an engine can assist braking. It aims to prevent reduced braking effect of a high-temperature braking disc from leading to an accident in a long downslope distance. Therefore, it is normal to step on the accelerator in a downslope distance to secure driving.
Daily checks: check all lights, the tyre pressure and appearance, trace of dropped and leaked oil and water at the parking position, fuel consumption and indicators of the dashboard.
Daily checks for a long journey, especially for a long-distance travel:
1) “Five oils and two fluids” (engine oil/braking oil/power steering pump oil/transmission oil/gasoline and coolant fluid of the engine water tank/windshield washer fluid) and chapping and loosening of oil pipe/water pipes inside the engine cabin.
2) Conditions of all lights, tyre pressure, visual chapping, depth of worn tyre groove, brake pedal and engine operation.
Statistical data show that, of all possible fatal traffic accidents, about 45% of dead lives can be saved if safety belts are correctly used. If both safety belts and air bags can be used, 60% of dead lives can be saved.
A huge inertial force will be generated in the case of car collision or emergency braking due to an accident, it will make drivers and passengers collide with steering wheels, windshields and chair backs again, so it will easily lead to severe injury to drivers and passengers, even throw them away from their seats or from cars. The safety belts can bind drivers and passengers to their seats. Safety belts can effectively prevent drivers and passengers against the second collision in case of an accident and its buffering role can absorb much kinetic energy, so safety belts can alleviate injury to drivers and passengers.
Generally, a car is composed of plentiful parts. All parts are like some small screws. Only after strictly inspected and tested at the factory, these parts can then be assembled onto the car. Poor parts may not only affect their own performance, but also related assemblies and further performance of the whole car, and even affect driving safety. Different parts of a car have different functions, so their design requirements are different, e.g. technical specifications for size/materials/functionality/durability.
There are many non-original parts on the market. To list some examples here:
An original brake pad is designed strictly according to requirements of durability, brake performance, noise and environmental protection, and passes strict car match validation. Generally, a non-original brae pad cannot ensure the design and quality, so problems such as ineffective brake due to declined thermal brake effect and abnormal system operation due to the incompatibility between ABS and ESP system, frequently occur.
The ABS can effectively avoid the wheel lock to ensure that the car can steer in case of emergency braking and avoid a severe accident. When the ABS works, the brake pedal will transfer the counterforce to the driver’s feet, which is normal because driver’s feet shall keep steeping on the pedal in braking.
If the brake pedal is stepped due to an emergency in driving, the pedal will quickly react and give out the vibration sound. It indicates that the anti-lock braking system is triggered to avoid slippery and control the car according to the direction, which is normal.

After the adaptive cruise control is enabled, a car will automatically brake and keep a certain distance from the detected front car as needed. When the front car leaves away at a higher rate or changes to another lane, the car rate will restore to previous set cruise rate. At this time, the car will automatically accelerate. You shall stay vigilant, control the steering wheel, and operate the system if needed.
