Trumpchi GA5 brake pads cannot be enlarged in size. The original size must be used, as the space for installing the brake pads is already designed and cannot accommodate larger brake pads, nor can smaller ones be installed. Introduction to Brake Pads: Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are the most critical safety components in a car's braking system. The effectiveness of all braking relies on the brake pads, making high-quality brake pads the guardian of both people and vehicles. Composition of Brake Pads: 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, and the coating process is monitored using 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. The friction block is composed of friction materials and adhesives, which are pressed against the brake disc or drum during braking to generate friction, thereby achieving the purpose of deceleration. Due to friction, the friction block gradually wears out, and generally, the lower the cost of the brake pads, the faster they wear.

Can the Civic car lock with the key inside?

Civic cars can lock with the key inside. After the vehicle is turned off, if the doors are closed without taking the key, both the doors and the rear hatch will automatically lock after a few minutes. This feature is designed to prevent the owner from forgetting to lock the car. Precautions for using car keys: Do not leave spare keys in the car: If a smart key is lost due to improper storage, it can cause many inconveniences, and the cost of re-matching is relatively high. Experts advise not to place spare keys inside the car or together with the smart key. Avoid contact with metal objects: Smart keys may malfunction if they come into contact with or are covered by metal objects. Additionally, other items in a bumpy environment could damage the smart key. For smart sensing keys, changing the key requires modifying computer parameters and re-matching a new set of keys. The owner needs to provide vehicle and identity proofs, and the manufacturer must supply the corresponding parameters or passwords for the vehicle model. After replacement, the lost key can no longer start the engine. Another solution is to replace all the car locks, which is more secure but involves higher repair costs and longer downtime.

What is the height of road speed bumps?

Road speed bumps should not exceed 30 cm in width and 5 cm in thickness (height), with two standard lengths of 25 cm and 1 meter depending on road width. Below is relevant information about road speed bumps: 1. Overview: Speed bumps, also called speed humps, are traffic installations mounted on roads to slow down passing vehicles. They typically appear in strip form (sometimes dotted patterns), made primarily of rubber or occasionally metal, with yellow-black color schemes for high visibility. These slightly raised pavement installations force vehicles to reduce speed, commonly deployed at intersections, industrial/mining zones, school areas, residential communities, and accident-prone sections as specialized traffic safety devices for controlling motor/non-motor vehicle speeds. 2. Physical properties: (1) Elongation at break: The surface material elongation should be ≥200% (≥250% for highway/urban road applications). (2) Tensile strength: Surface material tensile strength should be ≥6.0MPa (≥8.5MPa for highway/urban road applications).

Will driving slightly over a single yellow line result in penalty points?

Driving slightly over a single yellow line does not incur penalty points and generally does not constitute a traffic violation. At most, it may result in a warning or a fine. Relevant regulations: According to the relevant provisions, vehicles and pedestrians shall pass in accordance with traffic signals; when encountering traffic police instructions, they shall pass according to the instructions of the traffic police; on roads without traffic signals, they shall pass under the principles of ensuring safety and smooth traffic. Drivers who violate road safety laws shall be given a warning or fined. If this law has other provisions, they shall be handled in accordance with those provisions. Legal basis: Article 36 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law": According to road conditions and traffic needs, roads are divided into motor vehicle lanes, non-motor vehicle lanes, and sidewalks. Motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles, and pedestrians shall travel in their respective lanes. If there is no division of motor vehicle lanes, non-motor vehicle lanes, and sidewalks, motor vehicles shall travel in the middle of the road, while non-motor vehicles and pedestrians shall travel on both sides of the road.

Reasons for Smart Grille Malfunction?

Due to rainy and non-hot weather, the grille panel remains closed and does not open. When the vehicle passes through a puddle, water pressure acts on the grille panel, causing it to move without a computer command. This movement triggers the grille motor, which then becomes mismatched with the computer control system, leading to the malfunction. As long as the grille motor is not faulty, this issue can be ignored, and the error code can be cleared using an OBD tool. The grille, also known as steel grating, steel grid, or grid panel, is welded from flat steel and twisted steel. Its primary uses include rest platforms, walkways, trench covers, and tread plates. It is also widely adopted in environmental protection equipment and wastewater treatment due to its increasing advantages. The gap width between grille bars can be set based on the method of debris removal and pump requirements. For manual cleaning, the gap is typically 16–25mm. Grilles before sedimentation tanks or settling ponds usually have gaps of 15–30mm, with a maximum of 40mm. There are three common mechanical cleaning devices: chain-type, mobile-type, and wire rope traction-type grille cleaning machines.

Will the correction of left and right longitudinal beams have any impact?

Correction of the left and right longitudinal beams will have an impact. In collision accidents, the front and rear longitudinal beams bear the main energy absorption function. The longitudinal beams absorb collision energy through crushing deformation and bending deformation. Introduction to front longitudinal beams: Many car buyers may not be familiar with front longitudinal beams. The front longitudinal beams are equivalent to the skeleton of the car, composed of two longitudinal beams located on both sides. The longitudinal beams are mostly stamped from low-alloy steel plates, with a cross-section in the shape of a channel or I-beam. The front part of the vehicle's longitudinal beams belongs to the energy absorption zone. Once a collision occurs, they will crumple, and even after repair, it is easy to detect. Therefore, inspecting the front longitudinal beams is an important area for identifying accident vehicles. Function of front longitudinal beams: Although many vehicles are equipped with front and rear anti-collision beams, in the event of a frontal collision, the two front longitudinal beams, most of which are covered by the engine, are the ones that truly play a role. In collision accidents, the front and rear longitudinal beams bear the main energy absorption function. The longitudinal beams absorb collision energy through crushing deformation and bending deformation. Among them, the front longitudinal beams bear about 60% of the total collision energy.
