Stones in brake pads can come out on their own. It is normal for small stones to get between the brake pads and brake discs of a car, and most stones will come out by themselves. If a stone gets stuck in the brake disc, you can first accelerate, then brake hard, and then reverse and brake hard again. Repeating this cycle a few times should solve the problem. If this method doesn't work, you will need to take the car to a repair shop or a 4S store for professional handling. Under normal driving conditions, the lifespan of front brake pads is typically 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers, while rear brake pads can last 120,000 to 150,000 kilometers. The exact replacement time depends on the wear condition. Different vehicle models may have varying manufacturer-recommended mileage intervals. When replacing brake pads, it is advisable to choose products from reputable manufacturers. Genuine brake pads usually have clear packaging with details such as the license number, specified friction coefficient, and execution standards. The packaging should also include a certificate of compliance, production batch number, and production date. It is recommended to have new brake pads installed by professionals at a certified repair shop to avoid mistakes that could lead to potential safety hazards.

What is the appropriate tire pressure for a new car?

New car tire pressure is appropriate between 2.3bar and 2.5bar, and the specific pressure should be based on the manufacturer's recommended tire pressure. The following are reference factors regarding tire pressure: 1. Seasonal factors: a. Winter: Based on the standard tire pressure of the car, it is appropriate to increase it by about 0.2bar. b. Summer: Based on the standard tire pressure of the car, it is appropriate to decrease it by about 0.1bar to avoid tire blowouts due to high temperatures. 2. Load factors: a. Empty load: Follow the lower limit of the standard tire pressure (the tire pressure indicated on the vehicle's label can be used as a reference for the minimum tire pressure). b. Full load: When fully loaded, follow the upper limit of the standard tire pressure (the maximum tire pressure indicated on the tire can be used as a reference for the theoretical maximum tire pressure).

Where is the car brake light fuse located?

Car brake light fuses are generally located in the engine compartment, and their exact position varies depending on the vehicle model. More information about brake lights is as follows: 1. Brake lights illuminate when the vehicle is braking. They are usually installed at the rear of the vehicle, with a red main color to enhance light penetration and alert other vehicles. 2. In low visibility conditions, they effectively prevent rear-end collisions and reduce traffic accidents. 3. Issues with vehicle brake lights generally fall into two categories: wiring problems or brake light damage. 4. Damaged brake lights will cause the vehicle to fail the annual inspection. According to Article 21 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China': Before driving a motor vehicle on the road, the driver must carefully inspect the vehicle's safety technical performance and must not drive a vehicle with incomplete safety facilities or components that do not meet technical standards, posing safety hazards.

Where is the car spark plug located?

Spark plugs in cars are generally located inside the engine cylinders. Here is some relevant information about spark plugs: The function of a spark plug is to introduce high-voltage current into the cylinder to generate an electric spark, which ignites the combustible gas mixture and maintains engine operation. It is important to note that high-power engines with large compression ratios typically use cold-type spark plugs with high heat values, while low-power engines with small compression ratios use hot-type spark plugs with low heat values. Generally, the selection of spark plugs is determined by the factory through product type testing and should not be changed arbitrarily.

Is High Engine Compartment Temperature Normal?

During operation, the engine generates a significant amount of heat, so a high temperature in the engine compartment is a normal phenomenon. More information about high engine compartment temperature is as follows: 1. After opening the engine hood on most cars, the exhaust manifold can be seen, which also heats up during operation. Therefore, a relatively high temperature in the engine compartment is normal. 2. After long-distance driving, you can open the engine hood to help dissipate heat. Most performance cars have cooling vents on the engine hood to quickly remove heat from the engine compartment. 3. If the engine compartment becomes excessively hot, it can affect the engine's normal operation. For example, if the engine compartment temperature is too high, it can cause the intake air temperature to rise, which may impact the engine's power output.

What are the differences between 1.4L and 1.5L displacement?

The differences between 1.4L and 1.5L displacement are as follows: 1. Different engine efficiency. The 1.4L engine is much more efficient than the 1.5L engine. For example, engines using aluminum alloy materials are generally more efficient than cast iron engines, and engines with variable valve timing and direct injection technology are more efficient than those with intake manifold injection technology. 2. Different engine fuel consumption. The fuel consumption of an engine is determined by factors such as displacement, manufacturing process, and control technology. High-displacement engines may achieve fuel consumption levels similar to low-displacement engines.

Do I Need a Wheel Alignment When Replacing 4 New Tires?

Replacing 4 new tires only involves changing the tires and rims, which does not affect the alignment data, so a wheel alignment is not necessary. Here are the relevant details: 1. If the old tires were replaced due to severe abnormal wear, this may affect the wheel alignment data, and a wheel alignment would be required. 2. The main parameters adjusted during a wheel alignment include caster, camber, toe, and kingpin inclination. Adjusting caster helps maintain straight-line stability and steering return; adjusting camber also enhances stability and steering return; adjusting toe increases the tire contact area to counteract negative effects; and adjusting toe compensates for adverse effects caused by camber or toe. 3. During a wheel alignment, the data must be precise. If the alignment is incorrect, the vehicle may pull to one side, affect balance during cornering, impact acceleration and braking, and strain the suspension, posing risks to safe driving.
