New brake pads require a break-in period of 200 kilometers. The method for replacing brake pads is as follows: 1. Open the engine compartment to check the brake fluid level to prevent overflow during replacement; 2. Remove the wheel where the brake is located; 3. Remove the bolts of the brake caliper and take out the brake pads; 4. Install the new brake pads, tighten the guide bolts, and complete the replacement. The working principle of brake pads is to use the friction between the brake pads and the brake drum, as well as between the tires and the ground, to convert the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy through friction, thereby stopping the vehicle. The materials of brake pads are: 1. Asbestos, cellulose, sintered glass; 2. Carbon fiber friction material; 3. Powder metallurgy friction material; 4. Semi-metallic friction material.

What is the purpose of car waxing?

Car waxing can effectively protect the paint surface, keeping it bright and beautiful, and can also repair scratched areas. Here are some relevant details: 1. Waterproofing effect. Under strong sunlight, each tiny water droplet acts as a convex lens. Under its focusing effect, the temperature at the focal point can reach 800~1000℃, causing dark spots on the car paint, greatly affecting its quality and lifespan, and easily leading to rust on exposed metal surfaces. Car wax repels water-based substances, making it difficult for water droplets to adhere to the car's surface. 2. High-temperature resistance. The principle of car wax's high-temperature resistance lies in its ability to effectively reflect incoming light from different directions, preventing reflected light from aging and discoloring the paint and base coat. 3. Anti-static effect. Static electricity can cause many inconveniences for drivers and even harm them. The anti-static effect of car wax mainly manifests in preventing static on the car's surface, and its principle is that it can block friction between dust and the metal surface. Due to differences in the thickness of the wax layer and the wax's own adhesion capability, its anti-static effect varies. Generally, anti-static car wax is better than regular car wax in blocking friction between dust and the paint surface.

How to Open the Fuel Filler Cap on the Buick Excelle?

The fuel filler cap release button for the Excelle is located at the bottom left side of the driver's seat. Lift it upward and release to open the fuel filler cap. Here are some related details: 1. The Buick Excelle's fuel gauge has a total of eight segments, and the fuel tank capacity is 44 liters. If the fuel level is too low, the fuel control indicator will illuminate. If this indicator flashes, refuel immediately and avoid running the tank completely dry. 2. When closing the fuel filler cap, turn it to the right until you hear a click, then close the fuel filler door. If there is no fuel cap switch, pressing the fuel cap will cause it to pop out when the doors are unlocked. Immediately wipe away any spilled fuel. 3. When preparing to refuel, if you see a tanker truck parked at the gas station, it's best to drive away quickly. This is because when the tanker is replenishing the station's gasoline, sediment at the bottom of the storage tank can be stirred up. If you refuel at this time, these stirred-up impurities may enter your fuel tank. Such fuel not only affects performance but could also damage the engine.
