How Many Days to Break in New Brake Pads?

1 Answers

New brake pads require a break-in period of approximately 200 kilometers to achieve optimal braking performance. Here is relevant information about brake pads: 1. Brake pad classification: Asbestos brake pads (mostly phased out), semi-metallic brake pads, low-metallic brake pads, NAO formula brake pads, ceramic brake pads, and NAO ceramic brake pads. 2. Ceramic vs traditional brake pads: In traditional brake pads, metal serves as the primary friction material, providing strong braking force but with greater wear and tendency for noise generation. After installing ceramic brake pads, abnormal squealing (scraping sounds) won't occur during normal driving. Since ceramic brake pads contain no metal components, they eliminate the metallic screeching caused by friction between traditional metal brake pads and their counterparts (brake pads and rotors). 3. Stable friction coefficient: Conventional brake pads use immature friction materials where excessively high friction coefficients may lead to dangerous situations like loss of steering control during braking, pad burning, or rotor scoring. Even when rotor temperatures reach 650°C, ceramic brake pads maintain a stable friction coefficient between 0.45-0.55, ensuring reliable braking performance.

What to Do If the Cruze Trunk Switch Fails?

Solutions for a malfunctioning Cruze trunk switch: If the trunk can be opened using the remote control, it indicates that the trunk switch is damaged. If the remote control also fails to open it, the lock block may be damaged. There is an emergency escape switch above the trunk lock; pulling it down can open the trunk. Below are the symptoms of a trunk that won't open: 1. The Cruze trunk door is operated remotely. When using the remote to open the door, remember to long-press the trunk unlock button to open it. Of course, when pressing the trunk unlock button, the central locking system should also unlock. If the remote can open it but the trunk still won't open, it may be due to rainwater entering the trunk switch area causing corrosion, which is a relatively common issue. The only solution is replacement, which can be done at a 4S shop. 2. If neither the remote nor manual methods work, it could be due to a damaged trunk lock block, requiring replacement. Additionally, there is a master switch for the trunk lock above the lock block; it's also important to check if the trunk's failure to open is caused by the master switch being turned off.
