There is no fixed interval for replacing brake pads, as it depends on driving conditions and habits, which can affect the wear of brake pads. The following situations indicate when brake pads need to be replaced: 1. Regularly check the thickness of the brake pads. If the thickness is less than 3mm, it's time to replace them. 2. When the dashboard displays a brake pad warning message, it indicates that the brake pads need to be replaced. 3. If the car shifts or drifts when braking, it suggests that the brake pads are worn and need replacement.

What to Do When the Car Screen Goes Black but There's Still Sound?

Tap the touchscreen to see if there is any response. If the touch function works normally, then focus on the display screen itself and check if any components are damaged. If there is no touch response, inspect the touch circuit to ensure there are no issues with the wiring. Typically, this could be due to the decoding chip or core module not functioning or being damaged. Try upgrading the graphics card. If you have already updated to the latest DirectX and PHY software, it might also be due to system and game incompatibility. During driving, body vibrations may cause loose connections. Try readjusting the wiring connections. If the issue is with the navigation display, try disconnecting the power. If the problem persists, consider replacing it.

Is Car Window Tint Easy to Remove?

Use a utility knife to make an incision on the tint film, then peel it off. For stubborn areas or small sections, carefully scrape them off with a scraper. When removing the tint by hand, apply appropriate force to avoid breaking the film. Excessive force can make the peeling process more difficult. After removing the tint film, many adhesive residues will remain on the glass. Use an adhesive remover, a squeegee, and a cloth to clean them off bit by bit. If not done properly, DIY tint removal can leave scratches that may obstruct your driving vision. It is recommended to have it removed at a professional tint shop.
