Steps for replacing brake pads in an electronic parking brake system: 1. Remove the rear wheels, connect a diagnostic tool, and lift the vehicle; 2. Turn on the ignition, release the parking brake, and enter the test program; 3. Access the 53 Parking Brake System; 4. Enter 04 System Basic Settings; 5. Input channel number 007, and you can hear the sound of the rear wheel motor running for about 5 seconds. The parking brake motors for both rear wheels will retract, allowing the old brake pads to be removed after releasing the caliper. The electronic parking brake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical parking brake, both utilizing the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads to control parking braking. The only difference is that the control method has changed from the traditional mechanical parking brake lever to an electronic button.

Is There Any Impact of Adding Two Bottles of Fuel Additive at Once?

Adding two bottles of fuel additive at once has no impact. However, excessive use of fuel additives can lead to increased carbon deposits in the combustion chamber and worsen vehicle exhaust emissions. Below are some precautions regarding fuel additive usage: Product Selection: When adding fuel additives, it is essential to choose legitimate products. Due to the chaotic market for fuel additives, the quality cannot be guaranteed. If inferior fuel additives are used, they may not only fail to remove carbon deposits but could also negatively affect the vehicle's normal performance. It is advisable to purchase from authorized stores or 4S dealerships. New Vehicles Should Avoid Fuel Additives: If the vehicle is newly purchased, it is not recommended to use fuel additives. New vehicles generally have good operating conditions and rarely suffer from severe carbon deposits. Typically, fuel additives should only be considered after the vehicle has been driven for more than 20,000 kilometers.

Where is the right B-pillar?

Automobile B-pillar is located between the front and rear seats of the cockpit, which is the vertical bar between the two doors on both sides, extending from the roof to the bottom of the car. From the inside, the seat belt is on the B-pillar. Definition of B-pillar: The B-pillar, also known as the center pillar, is located between the front and rear seats of the cockpit. It bears the pressure from the roof and the front and rear doors. In addition, some additional parts, such as the front seat belts, are installed inside the B-pillar. Therefore, to better achieve force transmission, the B-pillar often protrudes outward. The contradiction of the center pillar lies in achieving a balance between stiffness and weight. A and C pillars: The A-pillar, B-pillar, and C-pillar are the main parts supporting the structural strength of the vehicle. The A-pillar of a car is the pillar connecting the roof and the body on the left front and right front of the driver; the C-pillar is the pillar connecting the roof and the body on the far right and left sides of the rear seats.

Do I have to repair the car immediately after filing an insurance claim?

Filing an insurance claim does not necessarily mean you have to repair the car immediately. There is no time limit, and you can consult local repair shops for the repair time after the damage assessment. When repairing the car, check whether it is within the warranty period: If the vehicle is within the warranty period of a 4S shop, have it repaired at the 4S shop to ensure you can enjoy the warranty policy. If the vehicle is out of warranty, go to auto repair centers or similar places, which are cheaper than 4S shops with lower labor costs. Negotiate the price before repair: 4S shops have fixed prices with no room for negotiation, while other repair shops allow price discussions. Before the repair, clarify the parts to be repaired and the labor costs to avoid additional charges midway.
