The spark plugs for the Sagitar 1.4T should be replaced every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. Spark plugs are a crucial component of the gasoline engine's ignition system. They introduce high voltage into the combustion chamber and create a spark by jumping the electrode gap, thereby igniting the combustible air-fuel mixture in the cylinder. Steps for replacing spark plugs: Open the hood, lift the plastic cover of the engine, and remove the high-voltage wires. Mark each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for any external debris like leaves or dust and ensure they are thoroughly cleaned. Place the new spark plugs into the spark plug holes, hand-tighten them a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten them further. Reinstall the high-voltage wires in the correct firing order and secure the cover.

What to Do When There Is Water Under the Driver's Side Floor Mat?

How to handle water under the driver's side floor mat in a car: 1. The water under the driver's side floor mat is most likely condensation from the air conditioning. 2. When the car's air conditioning is in cooling mode, it generates a significant amount of water, which is typically drained outside the vehicle through a drainage hose connected near the condenser. If this hose was not properly connected to the undercarriage during manufacturing, the water may accumulate inside the car. 3. If the issue is minor, you can locate and reconnect the hose yourself. However, if water has entered the exhaust pipe, do not start the engine. Instead, arrange for a tow truck to take the vehicle to a 4S service center for professional repair. 4. If the water accumulation is due to clogged drainage holes or channels, preventing rainwater from draining properly, promptly clean the drainage outlets, remove the water under the floor mat, dry the carpet surface, and replace the mats with waterproof full-coverage floor mats.

What Causes the ABS Light to Illuminate After a Vehicle Inspection?

There are various states of the ABS light being on, with different causes and solutions for each state. The details are as follows: State 1: ABS warning light stays on (most common). Cause 1: The ABS speed sensor's sensing part is covered by dirt, mud, or other contaminants, affecting its ability to detect the corresponding speed signal. This prevents the ABS computer from determining the vehicle speed and the wheel slip rate, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to adjust braking. Solution: Clean the dirt off the speed sensor and adjust the gap between the speed sensor and the signal ring to restore normal function. Cause 2: Loose connections between system lines or poor contact of the ABS relay lead to signal issues, causing system failure. Solution: Check the line connections and reconnect any loose parts. State 2: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates but turns off when accelerating. Cause: When multiple vehicle electrical devices are in use, the battery voltage drops below 10.5V. As the engine speed increases and voltage rises, the ABS light turns off. The ABS system's power supply voltage is too low, possibly due to poor terminal contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check the battery's specific gravity; inspect the charging system; examine the power supply (e.g., voltage relay or poor power contact). State 3: ABS warning light stays on after engine start and only turns off when the engine is turned off (IGFF). Cause: Poor grounding contact of the ABS hydraulic valve body; poor contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body's wiring connector; ABS computer malfunction. Solution: Loosen the grounding screw of the hydraulic valve body, then retighten it, cleaning the contact surface if necessary; check if the connector gap has widened; replace the ABS or ABS/ASR computer. State 4: ABS warning light illuminates during high-speed driving. Cause: During high-speed driving, the ABS computer detects a significant discrepancy between the rear and front wheel speed signals; incorrect tire or wheel rim specifications. Solution: Refer to the vehicle's tire and wheel rim specifications, as indicated on the label near the fuel tank cap. State 5: ABS warning light intermittently illuminates. Cause: Improper adjustment of the brake light switch; poor internal contact in the brake light. Solution: With the engine running, press the brake pedal, push the brake switch linkage down fully with a finger, then release the brake pedal to complete the self-setting position; replace the brake light switch. If the ABS warning light is on, it is advised not to continue driving. An illuminated ABS light indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's anti-lock braking system. During emergency braking, if the wheels lock up, the vehicle may skid uncontrollably, making it difficult for the driver to slow down or adjust the vehicle's path, posing significant safety risks.

What is Brake Pedal Free Travel?

Pedal from the stop position to the step to the end of the distance. The following is part of the introduction about the brake pedal free travel: Function: The pedal free travel is a function set to ensure that there is no brake drag and the brake is completely released. Measurement: When measuring, place a straightedge between the brake pedal and the cab floor, press the brake pedal down by hand until there is resistance, and record the straightedge reading. Then release the pedal and look at the straightedge reading again. The difference between the two readings is the pedal free travel. The free travel of the hydraulic brake pedal is generally 15-20mm, and it should be adjusted according to the value specified by the vehicle model.

What to Do When There's Abnormal Noise During Low-Speed Braking?

Reasons for abnormal noise during low-speed braking include excessive wear of brake pads, improper contact surface, water exposure, and wear. Specific explanations are as follows: Excessive wear of brake pads: Leads to the exposure of friction material fixing points, causing friction with the brake disc or brake drum and resulting in abnormal noise. Solution: Replace the brake pads. Improper contact surface: After replacing the brake pads, if the contact surface with the brake disc or drum does not fit properly, it can form point or line contact, leading to abnormal noise. Solution: Perform a break-in for the vehicle. Water exposure: Brakes may produce abnormal noise after the car has been exposed to water. Solution: Handle according to the water drainage situation, remove accumulated water, and replace the corresponding parts. Wear: Excessive wear of the brake disc or brake drum. Solution: Replace the brake disc or brake drum.
