You should not continue driving with overheated brake discs. Below are the relevant details: 1. Friction: The working principle of brakes mainly relies on friction, which converts the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into thermal energy through the friction between the brake pads and discs (or drums), as well as between the tires and the ground, thereby stopping the vehicle. Therefore, any abnormal condition of the brake pads must be addressed immediately. 2. Thickness: Under normal driving conditions, the brake pads should be inspected every 5,000 kilometers. This inspection should not only include checking the remaining thickness but also the wear condition of the pads, whether the wear is even on both sides, and whether the pads retract smoothly. Any abnormalities must be dealt with immediately.

What documents must be obtained when buying a used car?

The documents required for a used car transaction include: original and photocopies of the buyer's and seller's ID cards, vehicle registration certificate, vehicle license, and used car transaction invoice. Below are the precautions to take when purchasing a used car: Pay attention to the car's performance: Avoid buying a car with poor performance. When selecting a used car, pay attention to knocking on the body to listen for any abnormal sounds, and start the car to check if the engine sounds normal. Check the chassis and frame: Do not purchase if deformation is found. After an accident, even if the car's exterior is well-repaired, its frame and chassis are difficult to restore, indicating it might be an accident car. Inspect the appearance: Observe all corners and parts of the car for repainting. Some used cars have been in accidents, and to increase their value, dealers may refurbish and repaint them to make them look newer. So check for wear on the tires, headlights, and bumper. Ensure all purchase procedures are complete: Documentation is crucial when buying a used car. Generally, this includes the registration certificate, license, purchase tax, and other fees, proving the car is problem-free with complete procedures. Always test-drive before buying: Whether buying a new or used car, always test-drive. Only through a test drive can you determine if the car suits you and identify any issues during the process.

How to Rotate Car Tires?

Method for rotating car tires: Cross-swap front and rear tires. Under normal circumstances, tire rotation should be performed every 10,000 kilometers. Due to road design factors, tires may develop subtle uneven wear during regular use that is not easily noticeable to the naked eye. After rotation, slight pulling to one side during straight-line driving may occur, which is normal and will naturally disappear after some driving. If the pulling is severe, you can appropriately reduce the tire pressure on the opposite side to alleviate the pulling. For example, if the car pulls to the right, reduce the left tire pressure, and after driving for some time, reinflate the tires to normal pressure.

What are the reasons for Mazda6's air conditioning not cooling?

Mazda6's air conditioning not cooling reasons: 1. Refrigerant quantity issue: The drying bottle in the car's air conditioning system absorbs moisture and stores some refrigerant. Therefore, when the refrigerant quantity decreases to a certain level, the car's air conditioning cooling capacity will decrease. Some models with heating and cooling air conditioning may blow hot air from the vents if the air conditioning cooling is insufficient. 2. Filter screen issue: Sometimes, if there is too much dirt in the car air conditioning's refrigerant and refrigeration oil, it can clog the filter screen, reducing the cooling effect, increasing resistance, and decreasing the refrigerant flow to the expansion valve, leading to the car air conditioning not cooling. Sometimes, if air enters the car air conditioning system, it will cause excessive pressure in the refrigeration pipe, and poor refrigerant circulation can also lead to insufficient cooling. 3. Compressor, power, voltage issues: Sometimes, the car air conditioning not cooling is due to the compressor's drive belt being too loose, or it may be due to the condenser's heat dissipation capacity decreasing, leading to reduced air conditioning cooling capacity. If the car's power or voltage is too low, the compressor's electric clutch's suction decreases, or there is oil contamination between the electric clutch pressure plate and the belt pulley, it can cause a "slipping" phenomenon similar to a loose drive belt, also leading to the car air conditioning not cooling.

How Long Does It Take to Receive a Speeding Ticket Notification?

After a motor vehicle commits a speeding violation, the owner typically receives a notification within 4-7 working days. Vehicle owners can also check for violations on their own. Methods to check for vehicle violations are as follows: 1. Visit the office halls of traffic police teams in various cities and districts to check via touch query terminals. 2. Log in to the external service websites of the public security traffic management bureaus of various cities or the national vehicle traffic violation query service platform. 3. Call the voice inquiry hotline. 4. Send a text message to check for violations. 5. Mobile users can download apps like "Wheel Violation Check" and enter information such as the license plate number, vehicle engine number, and province/city to check for violations in real-time. How to handle violations via 12123: After downloading and logging in to the 12123 app using your phone number or ID, click on "Query Violations" and then proceed with the violation handling. Note that only the vehicle owner's ID and phone number can be used to query the violation records of the relevant vehicle. After finding the violation records, follow the prompts to pay the fine.

How to Set the Time on Teana?

Teana time setting steps are as follows: 1. Press the start button to start the vehicle. 2. Then press the menu toggle button on the left side of the steering wheel to bring up the vehicle's time adjustment function. 3. Next, press the RES and SET buttons on the right side of the steering wheel to adjust the time. 4. Finally, press the ENTER button on the left side of the steering wheel to confirm the set time. Below is a brief introduction to the Nissan Teana: 1. The Teana has undergone lengthening and widening in terms of body dimensions. With a body length of 4901mm, it appears very sleek with the rear embellishments and the waistline. The 2825mm wheelbase is indeed not an advantage in this class of vehicles, but for the Teana, which has always focused on ride comfort, space and other aspects will not be a problem. 2. The biggest highlight of the Teana's powertrain is the installation of what is claimed to be the world's first 2.0T-VC-TURBO variable compression ratio turbocharged engine. It is said that Nissan began developing this technology 20 years ago. In terms of data, this 2.0T engine has a maximum power of 185kW and can also generate a maximum torque of 380N·m. The transmission part is matched with the XTRONIC-CVT continuously variable transmission, which can simulate 8 forward gears and comes with paddle shifters and a sport mode.

What is the Difference Between Three-Point and Five-Point Seat Belts?

The differences between three-point and five-point seat belts lie in their suitability for different ages, selection criteria, usage methods, and the number of attachment points. Suitability for Different Ages: Five-point seat belts are suitable for children under 3 years old. Three-point seat belts are suitable for children over 3 years old. Selection Differences: The number of points refers to the attachment points between the seat belt and the seat. More points provide better restraint, but five-point seat belts are more complex to use. Therefore, they are typically used in child safety seats, racing cars, or by modifiers, while regular family cars usually have three-point seat belts. Usage Differences: Five-point seat belts protect more body parts, which is why F1 drivers use them. On the other hand, the main energy absorption points of three-point seat belts are at the neck and groin. The pressure on the groin can be harmful to both boys and girls, so it is better to use five-point seat belts. Correct Usage of Seat Belts: Pick up the buckle and pull the seat belt across your body; Insert the buckle into the latch until you hear a "click," then pull the belt to confirm it is securely fastened; Pull the shoulder strap upward to tighten the lap belt (the lap belt should be across the hips, not the abdomen); Check the position of the seat belt and adjust the height using the height adjuster to the appropriate position.
