What are the causes of brake failure?

Reasons for brake failure: 1. Wear of brake pads and brake discs leading to thinning of thickness. For example, in disc brakes, the caliper clamps the brake disc for braking over time, and friction will make the surfaces of the caliper and brake disc thinner and thinner, which will lengthen the travel of the brake pedal; 2. Problems with brake fluid. Most cars' braking systems are hydraulic brakes, which require brake fluid to pressurize and transmit this braking force to the brake pads; 3. Tire wear. The lifespan of tires is generally 60,000 kilometers. Tires nearing the end of their lifespan will have their treads worn very thin, and the adhesion of long-term friction tires to the ground will also deteriorate, leading to an increase in braking distance.

How Much Horsepower Does the Ford Focus Have?

The Ford Focus has horsepower ratings of 128, 125, 122, 181, and 184, corresponding to four different engine displacements: 1.0T, 1.5L, 1.5T, and 1.6L. Horsepower is equivalent to the power of a car; the greater the horsepower, the higher the top speed. The significance of horsepower lies in its impact on the car's ultimate speed performance—greater horsepower means higher engine RPM and stronger acceleration. The Ford Focus is a model under Changan Ford, with body dimensions of 4534mm in length, 1823mm in width, and 1483mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2648mm. In terms of appearance, the Focus features a crossover-style body kit, including a new front bumper design, black wheel arches and side skirts, and silver protective panels. For the wheels, the base model is equipped with 17-inch five-spoke aluminum alloy wheels.

What are the benefits of changing spark plugs?

The benefits of changing spark plugs include: ensuring complete combustion of gasoline, thereby achieving optimal power output and reducing fuel consumption. The steps for replacing spark plugs are: 1. Disconnect the high-voltage wire connector, taking care to operate gently and avoid forcefully shaking the spark plug insulator to prevent damage to the spark plug's sealing performance; 2. Loosen the spark plug to be removed, use a thin, soft tube to blow away any dirt around the spark plug to prevent debris from falling into the combustion chamber when the spark plug is removed; 3. Clean the area around the screw, the spark plug electrode, and the sealing gasket to ensure they are clean, dry, and free of oil; 4. Use a socket to align the spark plug with the threaded hole and gently screw it in by hand until about half of the thread length is engaged, then use a torque wrench to tighten it. If resistance is felt during tightening, remove the spark plug to check for proper alignment or any debris in the threads. Do not force it to avoid damaging the threaded hole or the cylinder head; 5. Tighten the spark plug to the specified torque.

What brand of tires does the Vezel generally use?

The Vezel generally uses Bridgestone Turanza brand tires, with the tire specification being 215/55R17, and the wheel style adopts five-spoke aluminum alloy wheels. Tires are one of the important components of a car, directly in contact with the road surface, working together with the car's suspension to mitigate the impact during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving. The Vezel is the first SUV under GAC Honda, developed by Honda's new vehicle platform. In terms of body dimensions, its length, width, and height are 4294mm, 1772mm, and 1605mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2610mm.

Why Do Diesel Vehicles Need Urea Solution?

Diesel vehicles add urea solution to reduce exhaust emissions and protect the atmospheric environment. The use of urea in vehicles is to convert harmful nitrogen oxides in the exhaust into nitrogen and water. The exhaust emitted by engines is extremely harmful to the atmospheric environment. With increasingly stringent environmental regulations, exhaust treatment systems have been developed to ensure compliance. The primary harmful substances in diesel exhaust are nitrogen oxides and particulates. The exhaust treatment system can reduce particulate emissions. Once urea is used in the vehicle, as long as the engine is running, the urea is injected into the exhaust treatment system, where it decomposes into ammonia gas at high temperatures.

What are the differences between China 5 and China 6 vehicle models?

The differences between China 5 and China 6 emission standards are as follows: Different emission standards: The China 6 emission standard is more than 30% stricter than China 5. Excluding the influence of driving conditions and testing, gasoline vehicles' carbon monoxide emissions are reduced by 50%, total hydrocarbons and non-methane hydrocarbons emissions are reduced by 50%, and nitrogen oxide emissions are reduced by 42%. Different implementation times: The China 5 standard was implemented nationwide on January 1, 2017. The China 6 standard was implemented on July 1, 2019. Different principles: During the China 5 phase, diesel and gasoline vehicles had different emission standards, but China 6 adopts a fuel-neutral principle, meaning the emission limits are the same regardless of the fuel type. Different issuing departments: The China 5 standard was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection. The China 6 standard was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection, and Quarantine. Different letter representations: China 5 is represented by 'V,' and China 6 is represented by 'VI.' Different monitoring requirements for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles: Compared to China 5, China 6 has improved monitoring requirements for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, including energy storage systems, thermal management systems, brake regeneration, drive motors, generators, and other regulations. China 5 standard limits are as follows: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 1,000 mg of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 68 mg of non-methane hydrocarbons per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 60 mg of nitrogen oxides per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 4.5 mg of PM fine particles per kilometer driven. China 6 has two standards: China 6a and China 6b, as follows: China 6a standard limits: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 700 mg of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 68 mg of non-methane hydrocarbons per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 60 mg of nitrogen oxides per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 4.5 mg of PM fine particles per kilometer driven. China 6b standard limits: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 500 mg of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 35 mg of non-methane hydrocarbons per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 35 mg of nitrogen oxides per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 3 mg of PM fine particles per kilometer driven. Affected by the China 6 emission policy, although China 5 vehicles are not currently restricted in normal use, their resale value will be significantly impacted. For truck owners who purchase vehicles on loan for freight transport, after repaying the loan, the vehicle's depreciation equals the net profit earned during that period. A higher residual value means more profit for the owner. Therefore, from this perspective, China 6 vehicles, with longer service life and more road rights, have greater advantages.
