Brake discs and brake pads do not need to be replaced together. The replacement of brake discs depends on their thickness and wear condition. The brake disc is a crucial component in the braking system, which can be categorized into solid brake discs and ventilated discs based on their structure. Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are key safety components in a car's braking system, composed of steel plates, adhesive heat insulation layers, and friction blocks. The maintenance methods for brake pads and brake discs include: 1. Developing good driving habits; 2. Avoiding emergency braking; 3. Regularly checking brake pads and discs; 4. Inspecting the thickness of the friction material; 5. Having a professional inspect the brake shoes; 6. Using original equipment manufacturer (OEM) provided brake pads and discs when replacing them.

How is the 'Four On, Four Off' Policy Calculated in Guangzhou?

Guangzhou's 'Four On, Four Off' policy refers to: within four days, whether you drive only one day or intermittently over the days, once four days are reached, you must leave the controlled area; you must park within the controlled area for four days to refresh a new driving cycle. The 'Four On, Four Off' policy means that non-Guangzhou registered small and medium-sized passenger vehicles entering the central area of Guangzhou cannot drive continuously for more than four days, and must wait at least four days before entering again. If you enter again before the four-day period is over, you will be fined 200 yuan in cash and receive 3 penalty points for each violation, with a maximum of one penalty per natural day. During statutory holidays, the 'Four On, Four Off' measures are not implemented, and non-Guangzhou registered small and medium-sized passenger vehicles can travel normally within the controlled area, with both driving and parking times counted as parking time.

Which Mode Should a Mercedes-Benz Use for Climbing Hills?

Mercedes-Benz can use Comfort mode or Sport mode for climbing hills, depending on the steepness of the slope. Comfort Mode: The suspension becomes softer, the steering wheel is easier to operate, and the body sits lower. For example, when going over speed bumps or needing to brake suddenly in unexpected situations, the comfort level of the vehicle is significantly improved. Passengers experience enhanced comfort, and the feeling of jerking is noticeably reduced. Sport Mode: When driving on suburban roads or highways, you can choose S (Sport) mode. In S mode, the car's powertrain responds more sensitively, but the gear shifting is slightly delayed. However, the start-stop function remains enabled by default.
