It is normal for car brake discs to rust. Here is a detailed introduction about it: 1. Slight rust: Slight rust often occurs, such as after the car is exposed to rain overnight or when the car is not dried after washing. At this time, you can remove the rust by continuously applying the brakes while driving, because the brake disc rubs against the brake caliper during braking, and the rust will be worn off after multiple braking actions. 2. Severe rust: If the brake disc has severe rust, the entire surface of the brake disc has formed a relatively thick layer of rust. Stubborn rust can also accelerate the wear of the brake pads, so it is necessary to take the car to a repair shop to have the brake disc polished.

How to Read a Car Fuel Gauge?

Gasoline gauge is located on the dashboard, commonly found in pointer-style and electronic-style. The letters F and E are marked at both ends of the fuel gauge. If the pointer points to F, it means the fuel tank is full; if it points to E, it means the fuel is empty; and pointing to the middle indicates there is still half of the fuel left. Information about car fuel gauges is as follows: 1. The fuel gauge mainly consists of two parts: the measurement unit and the display unit. The measurement unit primarily measures the fuel level in the tank, while the display unit shows the fuel level on the fuel gauge. 2. The measurement unit is mainly designed inside the car's fuel tank. When the fuel level decreases, the position of the float also lowers, which in turn drives a connecting rod to open the refill port, allowing fuel to enter. When the fuel level rises, the float position also rises accordingly. Once it reaches a certain level, the connecting rod will close the refill port.

What kind of transmission does the Cadillac XT4 have?

The Cadillac XT4 is equipped with a 9-speed automatic transmission (9AT) with manual mode. This transmission provides a very smooth driving experience and has been used in several domestic models, receiving satisfactory market feedback. More details about the Cadillac XT4 are as follows: 1. The transmission can shift into 9th gear at around 80 km/h, working seamlessly with the engine. When overtaking is needed, it can downshift continuously to increase speed. The XT4's transmission also incorporates many new technologies, including an innovative variable-phase one-way clutch, which not only enhances the lightweight and compact design of the 9AT but also reduces the overall size and weight of the transmission. 2. The Cadillac XT4's center console features irregular and complex lines to create a strong sense of layering while maintaining the consistent material quality found in Cadillac models. The extensive use of soft materials and stitching provides an excellent visual effect. 3. Beyond its luxurious feel, the Cadillac XT4 does not compromise on technology. In addition to supporting 4G networks and OTA updates, the 8-inch touchscreen in the center console also supports Apple CarPlay and Baidu CarLife for smartphone connectivity. 4. In terms of configuration, features such as tire pressure monitoring, rear parking radar, cruise control, multiple driving modes, hill start assist, and a panoramic sunroof are all standard.

What kind of engine oil is best for the TAYRON?

The TAYRON can use engine oil as recommended in the manual, or you can opt for a fully synthetic 5W-40 oil. Any oil of the same specification can be used. Different viscosity grades of lubricating oil should be selected based on varying environmental temperatures and vehicle conditions. Multi-grade oil is the best choice as it is suitable for all seasons. The types of engine oil are as follows: 1. High-temperature type (e.g., SAE20-SAE50): The number indicates the viscosity at 100°C, with higher numbers representing higher viscosity. 2. Low-temperature type (e.g., SAEOW-SAE25W): 'W' stands for winter use only, and lower numbers indicate lower viscosity and better low-temperature fluidity. 3. All-weather type (e.g., SAE15W/40, 10W/40, 5W/50): The viscosity grade at low temperatures meets the requirements of SAE15W, 10W, or 5W, while the high-temperature viscosity grade meets SAE40 or 50 standards, making it suitable for both winter and summer use.

Is the Ground Wire Connected to the Positive or Negative Terminal?

Battery ground wires are typically connected to the positive terminal. Here is more information about ground wires: 1. A ground wire refers to connecting the positive or negative terminal of the battery and alternator to the vehicle frame, making the frame carry a positive or negative charge. This allows all electrical devices installed on the frame to form a circuit with just one wire from the opposite terminal of the power source. The wiring system where one terminal of the vehicle's power system is connected to the frame is called the ground wiring system (or simply grounding). 2. The electrical wiring system in a vehicle that uses grounding is called a single-wire system. The benefits of using a single-wire system include: on one hand, it saves on wiring costs and reduces overall vehicle costs; on the other hand, it minimizes issues such as wiring difficulties and multiple potential failure points caused by excessive wires.

What Causes the Squeaking Sound When Braking?

When a squeaking sound occurs during braking, the main reasons are as follows: 1. New brake pads not yet worn in: Since both the brake pads and brake discs are brand new and not yet worn in, a squeaking sound may occur. 2. Foreign objects or water film between the brake disc and pads: On rainy days, the brake pads can become damp, leading to noise at low speeds. After the vehicle is parked, a slight condensation may form on the surface, causing noise during the first drive the next day. Additionally, foreign objects such as sand, small stones, or other particles between the brake pads and disc can also cause noise. 3. Rust on the brake disc: If the vehicle's brake discs and pads are exposed to water or left parked for an extended period, rust may form on the brake discs, resulting in a squeaking sound during the initial drive. 4. Warning sound from severely worn brake pads: When the brake pads are worn to their limit, the warning indicator will rub against the brake disc, producing a friction sound. It is essential to promptly visit a service station for inspection or replacement of the brake pads to avoid damaging the brake disc and potential brake failure.
