When the brakes of an electric vehicle are unresponsive, it is highly likely due to a malfunction in the rear brake system. After applying lubricant, adjust the brake sensitivity accordingly. If the issue cannot be identified, it is advisable to take the vehicle to a professional repair service for inspection to prevent potential accidents.

I've experienced this issue with my electric car's brakes not working properly. That time, while driving, I felt something was off—the deceleration was unusually slow. I immediately pulled over to inspect the brake pads for wear and tear; if they were too thin, I replaced them with new ones. The adjustment method is straightforward: use a wrench to loosen the rear wheel nut and tighten the brake cable slightly. Electric vehicles are a bit more complex, as there might be electronic faults, such as sensors getting dusty and causing slow response—cleaning them might help. I make it a habit to check the brake fluid level and lines every two to three months to prevent leaks. Once, after clearing out some debris, the brakes worked fine again. Don't take it lightly—safety comes first. Address any issues immediately to avoid accidents. Developing this habit saves both peace of mind and money.

Electric car brake failure is a serious issue, and I immediately felt worried. Safety is the top priority—stop driving right away, engage the handbrake, and seek assistance. Trying to fix it yourself can lead to mistakes; it's best to call a professional mechanic. Electric cars accelerate quickly, and brake failure poses high risks, possibly due to hydraulic fluid leaks or cable issues. Tampering with it could make things worse. I recommend regular maintenance, such as inspecting brake discs and sensors every 5,000 kilometers. In an emergency, you can try low-speed testing for responsiveness, but don't rely on it. Remember, safety comes first—getting repairs at an authorized shop is the best approach. Saving money or effort isn't worth risking your life.

How to Deal with Excessive Heat When Sleeping in the Car During Summer?

If it's too hot to sleep in the car during summer, you can turn on the air conditioning, but remember to crack the windows slightly for ventilation to ensure air circulation. Otherwise, it's easy to experience oxygen deprivation. It's best to avoid sleeping in the car if possible. Precautions for sleeping in the car are as follows: 1. Always park in the shade of trees or buildings, preferably in an open outdoor area. 2. Before getting out of the car, use sunshades to cover the front, rear, and even side windows. 3. Before sleeping, open all the windows to let the hot air escape, then close them and turn on the air conditioning for a while to lower the interior temperature. 4. To maintain proper air circulation inside the car, it's recommended to switch the air circulation mode to the external circulation setting.

What is the recommended oil specification for the Magotan?

The official manual for the Magotan recommends using engine oil with the specification 5W-30. Any oil that meets this specification can be used. For later maintenance and oil changes, you may choose brands such as Shell, Mobil, Castrol, or Total. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so it's important to pay attention to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity—5W means it can withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, ensuring smoother cold starts for the car. The second number represents the oil's kinematic viscosity at 100°C. A higher number means the oil can maintain its viscosity better at high temperatures, which can also be interpreted as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the oil in a Magotan is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to cool down, allowing the oil to drain back into the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and place an oil pan underneath to catch the old oil until it stops flowing. Start the engine and let it run for about 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passages to drain out; Use a specialized wrench to remove the oil filter; Apply some oil to the seal of the new oil filter and hand-tighten it clockwise; Add the new oil through the engine valve cover's oil filler port. Generally, filling up to three-quarters of a standard oil container is sufficient; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, checking for any leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If leaks are found, repairs should be made; After stopping the engine, pull out the dipstick to check that the oil level is within the standard range.

How to Avoid Tire Blowouts?

To prevent tire blowouts, in addition to regular tire maintenance, preventive measures should also be taken to reduce the likelihood of blowouts. Methods to avoid tire blowouts are as follows: 1. When driving at high speeds, avoid frequent braking to reduce damage to the tires. 2. Regularly check the tire pressure. Improper tire pressure can lead to abnormal wear, tread groove cracking, cord breakage, and tire blowouts. 3. Perform timely tire rotation to ensure even tire wear and extend the tire's lifespan. 4. For expired or damaged tires, frequently check for punctures by sharp objects, small stones lodged in the tires, and avoid contact with chemicals and oils. Additionally, pay attention to whether the tire's service life has been exceeded.

How to Adjust the Height of Vehicle Lights?

Here are the methods to adjust the height of vehicle lights: 1. Find the vehicle information in the central control screen, select the light settings option, and there will be numbers 1 to 6 after opening it. The larger the number, the lower the height; 2. Open the engine hood, find the white plastic knob near the headlights, and use a hex wrench to adjust the height of the headlights. Additional information: The function of car headlights is to accurately illuminate the road ahead, improve safety during night driving, and avoid affecting the vision of oncoming drivers. Car headlights consist of the headlight assembly, the vehicle computer, and the light sensor. Their characteristics include low power consumption, high brightness, and long service life.

Does replacing a car's front windshield affect the vehicle?

Replacing a car's front windshield does not affect the vehicle, but if it is not installed properly, the glass adhesive and the glass on both sides of the windshield may not fit tightly, which could have an impact on the car. More information about the car's front windshield is as follows: 1. The front windshield of a car is generally made of laminated glass. When subjected to external impact, cracks may form, allowing air to enter the interlayer of the glass, which could lead to separation of the layers. If driving continues, the front windshield will bear increasing pressure due to changes in speed and wind speed, and the crack area may expand, affecting visibility and, more importantly, driving safety. 2. As a protective barrier for visibility, the windshield greatly ensures driving safety. When cracks or scratches appear on the glass, it is essential to take them seriously to prevent potential explosive incidents that could cause immeasurable harm.

Can a car with replaced rims pass the annual inspection?

Without prior approval from the traffic management department, a car with replaced rims cannot pass the annual inspection. More information about replacing rims is as follows: 1. If the size or color of the rims has been changed, it is necessary to report and file with the local vehicle management office before the annual inspection. 2. According to the relevant provisions of the current "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", any changes to the body color, model, performance, purpose, or structure of a licensed motor vehicle, including replacing the frame, body, or engine, must be reported to the vehicle management office for modification registration. In principle, actions such as adding a rear spoiler, replacing rims, or modifying the exhaust pipe are not allowed.
