Methods for adjusting the tightness of car brakes are as follows: 1. If you want to adjust the travel of the brake pedal, you can do so by adjusting the nut below the pedal. The brake clearance is automatically adjusted and does not require manual adjustment. 2. Cars are generally equipped with an automatic slack adjuster brake system, which can automatically adjust the car's brakes. During daily use, regular inspections should also be conducted, as the automatic slack adjuster brake system may experience some faults. The automatic slack adjuster is designed to adjust according to different car models. 3. The automatic slack adjuster will preset different brake clearance values. During normal use, if the clearance between the brakes exceeds a certain limit, the brake adjuster will drive the internal one-way clutch mechanism to reduce the clearance by one gear, thereby keeping the brake clearance within a reasonable range and ensuring the brakes function properly. 4. Due to different car models, the quality of the car itself also varies, which may result in some differences when adjusting the brakes. It is essential to ensure that the brakes on the same axle are consistent when adjusting, as the load capacity varies between different car models, leading to certain differences in the tightness of the adjustment.

How to Check the Production Date Through the Car Window?

Method to check the production date through the car window: There is a code in the lower left or lower right corner of the window glass. The last or second-to-last row contains a number and a few small black dots, which indicate the production date of the glass. The number represents the last digit of the production year, and the small black dots are used to determine the production month of the glass. It is normal for the front and rear windshield codes to differ, as they are different types of glass with different manufacturer part numbers. Generally, the glass code consists of a combination of symbols, numbers, and English letters printed in the lower left corner of the glass. This includes information such as the car brand, glass brand, certification marks, glass type, and production date.

Can non-owners apply for ETC?

Non-owners can apply for ETC. The agent needs to bring their own ID card, as well as the owner's ID card and vehicle registration documents to an ETC service point. After filling out the relevant forms, the application can be completed. ETC is an electronic toll collection system that allows for non-stop toll payments on toll roads. It is commonly used on highways, bridges or tunnels with toll policies, and certain sections of urban roads to alleviate traffic congestion. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle's electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at toll stations, the system uses computer networking technology to process background settlements with banks. This enables vehicles to pay tolls without stopping at toll booths.

Will changing from 48v to 60v burn out the motor?

Changing from 48v to 60v may burn out the motor, as the motor, controller, and other electrical components of a 48v electric vehicle are generally designed to operate at 48v. If modified to 60v, the increased voltage may cause the motor, controller, and other electrical components to overheat and fail. An electric vehicle consists of components such as the frame, motor, controller, battery, body, handlebar controls, throttle, braking system, and dashboard. The three main components of an electric vehicle are the battery, motor, and controller. The battery serves as the power reserve, driving the motor to provide the vehicle's power source. The motor, acting as the heart of the electric vehicle, converts the electrical energy stored in the battery into kinetic energy, enabling the vehicle to move. The controller, functioning as the brain of the electric vehicle, manages the motor's startup, operation, direction, speed, stopping, and other electronic components, serving as the core component of the vehicle's drive system.

How to Open the Trunk Without a Key?

Methods to open the trunk without a key include: calling a tow truck to take the car to a 4S shop for key replacement, asking a professional mechanic to open it, or locating the car's wiring to open the trunk. If the car is equipped with smart sensing or an electric tailgate, the trunk can still be opened manually even if the key is left inside the car. This feature is mostly available in mid-to-high-end vehicles. Below is relevant information about the trunk: Precautions for trunk use: Do not place valuable items in the trunk; avoid storing flammable or explosive materials; do not keep food in the trunk for long periods; ensure items in the trunk are neatly arranged to prevent noise while driving; always keep a fire extinguisher, warning triangle, and reflective vest in the trunk. Trunk maintenance: Installing a trunk mat can effectively prevent damage and increase the trunk's usability. Regularly clean the trunk. The bottom of the trunk is also where the spare tire is stored in most vehicles. Removing the spare tire to save space can negatively impact vehicle use.

What to Do When the Yellow Triangle Exclamation Warning Light Comes On?

The solutions for the yellow triangle exclamation warning light: 1. Check whether the generator, power steering pump, steering gear, and other mechanisms are damaged; 2. Inspect the connection parts of each component to see if there are any loose areas; 3. Check whether the tire pressure is at the normal level; 4. Examine parts such as the power steering pump and steering gear. Reasons why the yellow triangle exclamation warning light comes on: 1. The traction control light illuminates to remind the driver to turn off the traction control system. If this light stays on when the traction system is activated, it indicates a problem with the TCS; 2. The tire pressure light indicates abnormal tire pressure, meaning the tire pressure sensor has detected incorrect pressure in one or more tires. It is recommended to visit a tire shop to check the tire pressure; 3. The automatic transmission fault warning light indicates that there is an issue with the transmission, the transmission lubricant is below the normal range, or the lubricant needs to be replaced.
