The brake fluid in the Outlander should be replaced at 60,000 kilometers. Here are some additional details: 1. The brake fluid reservoir is located inside the engine compartment. When replacing, use an oil pump to completely drain the old fluid and add DOT4 brake fluid. 2. Brake fluid, also known as hydraulic brake fluid, is an essential part of the braking system. In the braking system, it serves as the medium for force transmission. 3. Brake fluid is a functional liquid used to stop wheel rotation, playing a role in energy transmission, as well as offering anti-corrosion, anti-rust, and lubrication benefits. 4. Do not mix brake fluids of different brands or specifications. Each manufacturer uses different ingredient ratios, and mixing can cause damage to automotive components and reduce braking performance.

Can I continue using tires with uneven tread?

It is not recommended to continue driving with uneven tread. The vehicle's weight can crush the tires, potentially causing wheel rim deformation. If forced to drive under such conditions, you may eventually need to replace both the tires and rims. Driving with deformed tires also poses safety hazards. The following describes two different scenarios of unevenness on tire sidewalls: Dents: These are caused by joints in the tire carcass cords. Since joint areas have two layers of cords while other areas have only one, the joint areas actually have higher strength than other parts. During initial use, tires slightly expand under air pressure, with less expansion at joint areas, making them appear slightly indented. Bulges: These are caused by joints in the inner liner or sidewall rubber. As joint areas are thicker, they appear slightly raised when inflated.

Disconnect the battery cables, ensuring to remove the negative terminal first, followed by the positive terminal. 4. Remove the battery's securing bracket. 5. Install the new battery in reverse order, connecting the positive terminal first, then the negative terminal when reattaching the cables. For daily maintenance, pay attention to the following aspects of the car battery: 1. If the car is not used for an extended period during winter, remove the battery to prevent power drain or damage due to freezing. 2. Charge the battery regularly and start the car periodically. 3. After turning off the engine, avoid using car electronics. If necessary, start the engine to ensure normal power supply.

Can You Drive with an Auto Hold Malfunction?

Auto hold malfunction allows driving when it does not affect driving safety, but should be repaired as soon as possible. Here is an introduction about auto hold malfunction:1. Introduction: Auto hold malfunction indicates that the active parking system has a problem and cannot function normally. Auto hold refers to an automatic braking function. After activating this function, for example, when stopping at a red light, it is equivalent to not using the handbrake, which can simplify operations by avoiding the use of a manual or electronic handbrake. Automatic transmission models also do not need to frequently switch between D to N or D to P.2. AUTOHOLD: AUTOHOLD relies on an intelligent braking system. Only vehicles with brake control systems like ESP can achieve the AUTOHOLD function. Traditional handbrakes require the driver to manually release the handbrake or skillfully coordinate the throttle and clutch for a smooth start on a slope.

What is the difference between 1.4t and 1.5t?

1.4t and 1.5t differ in the following aspects: 1. Different concepts: 1.4t refers to a 1.4-liter displacement engine with turbocharging; 1.5t refers to a 1.5-liter displacement engine with turbocharging. 2. Different displacements: 1.4t has a 1.4-liter displacement; 1.5t has a 1.5-liter displacement. The working principle of a turbocharged engine is that the exhaust gas discharged by the engine is compressed through a pipeline, driving the turbine to rotate at high speed, maximizing the work of the engine's pistons, thereby outputting higher power. After the turbocharger intervenes, the acceleration becomes significantly faster, providing a strong sense of pushing force.
