Volvo S90 brake pads are generally replaced every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers, but the specific replacement interval depends on actual usage conditions. Below 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 brake pads vs. traditional brake pads: In traditional brake pads, metal is the primary friction material, providing strong braking force but with higher wear and a tendency for noise. After installing ceramic brake pads, no abnormal screeching (i.e., scraping sounds) occurs during normal driving. Since ceramic brake pads contain no metal components, they avoid the metal-on-metal screeching noise between traditional metal brake pads and their counterparts (i.e., brake pads and rotors). 3. Stable friction coefficient: Ordinary brake pads often use immature friction materials, where excessively high friction coefficients can lead to unsafe factors such as loss of directional control during braking, pad burning, or rotor scoring. Even when brake rotor temperatures reach as high as 650 degrees Celsius, ceramic brake pads maintain a friction coefficient between 0.45-0.55, ensuring excellent braking performance for the vehicle.

What is a Rim?

Rim is the component around the wheel where the tire is mounted, also known as the wheel rim. It is the rotating part that connects the wheel and the axle, responsible for bearing the load between the tire and the axle. The functions of the rim are: to jointly bear the load on the wheel with the tire and dissipate the heat generated by the tire. Rims can be classified into integral, permanently connected, or detachable types. Common specifications of automobile rims include: 1. Deep well rim; 2. Flat base rim; 3. Split rim; 4. Semi-drop center rim; 5. Wide deep well rim; 6. Wide flat base rim; 7. Full tapered bead seat rim. The functions of the tire are: 1. To transmit driving force, braking force, and steering force to achieve vehicle operation; 2. To support vehicle load; 3. To reduce and absorb vibrations and impacts during vehicle movement, preventing severe vibrations from damaging vehicle components.

Does the Baojun 730 have an automatic transmission?

Baojun 730 has an automatic transmission. An automatic transmission means that the driver does not need to manually shift gears, as the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. Precautions for shifting gears in an automatic transmission: 1. Do not press the accelerator pedal when shifting gears; 2. Do not immediately press the accelerator pedal hard after shifting into gear; 3. The vehicle can only be started in P or N gear; 4. To remove the gear lever from P gear, the brake must be pressed; 5. Do not shift into N gear while driving to coast; 6. Do not push into P gear while the vehicle is moving; 7. When changing the direction of travel, switching between D and R gears must be done after the vehicle has come to a complete stop; 8. Placing the gear in N while driving prevents the oil pump from supplying oil normally for lubrication, which can cause the internal components of the transmission to overheat and become damaged.
