How Often Should the Brake Pads on a Chevrolet Cruze Be Replaced?

Chevrolet Cruze brake pads should be replaced approximately every 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers. Automotive brake pads, also known as brake linings, are friction materials fixed to the brake drums or discs that rotate with the wheels. The friction linings and blocks bear external pressure to generate friction, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicle deceleration. Below are the steps for replacing brake pads: 1. Before replacing the brake pads, open the cap of the brake fluid reservoir in the engine compartment to check the brake fluid level. If the fluid level is above the maximum limit, some fluid should be siphoned out to prevent overflow during the replacement process. 2. Prepare the new brake pads and remove the wheel where the brake is located. Be careful to avoid scratching the rim during removal. 3. Use a wrench and socket to remove the bolts of the brake caliper, then take out the brake pads (if there is a brake sensor wire, remove it first). Inspect the brake pads for excessive wear or cracks, and proceed with replacement if necessary. 4. Since the brake caliper may accumulate a lot of sand or dirt, clean it thoroughly with a cloth and apply anti-squeal paste to prevent noise during braking. 5. Use a piston press to push the piston to its limit, then install the new brake pads onto the caliper. After ensuring the new pads are properly installed (including the brake sensor wire if present), tighten the guide bolts to complete the installation. 6. After installation, securely close the reservoir cap, get into the car, and press the brake pedal several times firmly to reset the brake. Then check the brake fluid level to ensure it is within the appropriate range. 7. After replacement, conduct a test drive to verify the effectiveness of the brakes.

What is the correct way to start a key-ignition car?

Insert the car key and first turn it to the ON position, then pause and wait. At this time, the vehicle's self-diagnosis program will activate, and many icons on the dashboard will light up, such as the engine oil, brake, and ABS indicators. Wait until the flashing icons turn off before turning the key to the START position to ignite the engine. Here is some additional information: 1. The self-diagnosis is the vehicle's self-check function, which primarily reads internal faults. If any fault codes are detected, they will be displayed as warning lights on the dashboard after the self-check is completed to alert the driver. 2. If the car is started directly without allowing the self-diagnosis to complete, it can not only damage the battery and engine, disrupt electronic devices, but also pose significant safety risks. The self-diagnosis process typically takes 6-10 seconds, during which you can fasten your seatbelt and remind the front passenger to do the same before igniting the engine and starting slowly.
