Brake pads can be replaced at 60,000 kilometers. Typically, front brake pads need replacement every 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers, while rear brake pads should be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Below is relevant information about brake pads: 1. Definition: Brake pads generally consist of a steel plate, an adhesive heat insulation layer, and a friction block. The steel plate is coated to prevent rust, with the coating process monitored by an SMT-4 furnace temperature tracker to ensure quality by detecting temperature distribution. The heat insulation layer is made of non-conductive materials to provide thermal insulation. 2. Quality issues: Due to friction, the friction block gradually wears out. Generally, lower-cost brake pads wear out faster. Inferior materials can lead to excessive heat decay and thermal conductivity, resulting in sparks and loud noises during braking, shorter lifespan, approximately 30% longer braking distance, and lack of post-sale guarantees due to untested and rough manufacturing processes.

Shift Gear First or Release Handbrake First?

Both automatic and manual transmissions follow the same starting sequence—you should shift into gear first and then release the handbrake. The primary reason for this procedure is safety. Once the gear is engaged, the power transmission path in the gearbox is connected. When initially shifting into gear, the transmission is in first gear, where torque is at its maximum. If the brake isn’t properly applied, the vehicle could suddenly lurch forward. Automatic transmissions can be categorized into CVT, AT, dual-clutch, etc. Among these, CVT and AT use a torque converter to transfer engine power to the transmission, while dual-clutch transmissions transmit power through friction plates similar to manual transmissions.

How to Replace the Brake Light on a Cruze?

If the brake light on your Cruze is damaged, you can replace it yourself or take it to a repair shop. Replacement method: Empty the trunk and lift the mat above the spare tire; remove the eleven self-tapping rivets on the left, right, and middle sides; start removing the plastic panel under the trunk lid and the felt panels on both sides; after removing the rivets, lift off the plastic panel; remove the lamp socket and replace the brake light bulb to complete the process. The body dimensions of the Cruze are 4666mm in length, 1807mm in width, and 1460mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. In terms of the powertrain, the 2018 Cruze is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.4T turbocharged engine. For the transmission, the 1.5L engine is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed automatic transmission, while the 1.4T engine is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

How to Determine if the Engine Oxygen Sensor is Faulty?

Methods to determine if the engine oxygen sensor is faulty: 1. Ceramic breakage: The ceramic in the oxygen sensor is hard and brittle. Striking it with a hard object or washing it with strong airflow may cause it to break, preventing the oxygen sensor from maintaining normal working conditions; 2. Heater wire burnout: For heated oxygen sensors, if the heater wire is burned out, it becomes difficult for the sensor to reach normal operating temperature and thus loses functionality; 3. Internal wire disconnection: If the internal wires of the oxygen sensor become disconnected. Once the oxygen sensor fails, the electronic fuel injection system's computer cannot obtain accurate information about the oxygen concentration in the exhaust pipe, thus failing to provide feedback control for the air-fuel ratio.

What problems may occur after a vehicle wades through water?

Problems after a vehicle wades through water: During the process of wading, the chassis will be washed by dirty accumulated water, and dirt will adhere to the gaps in the chassis or the lower part of the body. If not cleaned in time, this dirt can cause rust on the chassis. Additionally, dead branches, leaves, and discarded plastic bags may wrap around the bearings and suspension, creating safety hazards. The headlights are crucial equipment for driving in rainy, foggy weather, or at night, and their working condition directly affects driving safety. If the sealing of the headlight cover is not adequate, water can easily enter the headlights when the vehicle wades through water, forming mist inside the headlights and affecting the light transmission.

What does the oil grade FE mean?

Oil grade FE is a fuel economy standard used to measure the amount of fuel consumed by a vehicle over a certain distance. The fuel economy indicator of gasoline is related to the characteristics of the engine, the vehicle's weight, speed, various motion resistances such as air resistance, rolling resistance, and climbing resistance, as well as the efficiency and gear ratio of the transmission system. Therefore, the numerical value often differs from the actual situation. There are three evaluation indicators for fuel economy: fuel consumption per unit distance traveled, fuel consumption per unit of transport work, and distance traveled per unit of fuel consumed. In China, the testing mainly focuses on the first indicator.

How to turn on the radio in a Cruze?

Cruze can directly turn on the radio switch to tune in and select stations for listening to programs. However, if there are tall buildings or large vehicles nearby, it may affect the radio reception signal, resulting in poor radio performance. Using a mobile phone may interfere with the Cruze's radio. The rear window glass antenna AM/FM antenna is integrated into the rear window defroster, located inside the rear window. Ensure that the inner surface of the rear window is not scratched, and the window panes on the glass are not damaged. If the inner surface is damaged, it may interfere with the radio's reception signal. The FM signal reception range is approximately 16 to 65 kilometers. The body dimensions of the Cruze are 4666mm in length, 1807mm in width, and 1460mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm.
