Introduction to the causes of brake system failure: Severe wear of brake pads: Brake pads are divided into two types: those with sensor lines and those without. For those with sensor lines, when the brake pads wear to the limit position, the sensor line will automatically connect the circuit, triggering the fault light. Low brake fluid level: Brake fluid plays a crucial role in the vehicle's braking system. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the force applied is transmitted by the piston in the master cylinder through the brake fluid to the wheel cylinders located at each wheel, causing the brake pads to contact the wheels and stop the vehicle. A lack of brake fluid is often accompanied by significantly reduced braking force, and in severe cases, a complete loss of braking power. This issue can be resolved by promptly replenishing the brake fluid. Brake system oil leakage or false alarm: If the brake system warning light comes on while driving, the driver should remain calm, slow down as much as possible, pull over promptly, and then proceed to diagnose the cause of the fault.

What type of driver's license is required to drive a 15-seater vehicle?

15-seater medium-sized passenger vehicles require a B1 driver's license. The B1 license allows driving medium-sized passenger vehicles with a capacity of 10 to 19 people. The types of driver's licenses and their corresponding permitted vehicle categories are as follows: 1. A1 (Large Bus): Permitted vehicles: Large passenger vehicles. Other permitted vehicle categories: A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, M. 2. A2 (Tractor): Permitted vehicle categories: Heavy and medium-sized full trailers and semi-trailer vehicles. Other permitted vehicle categories: B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, M. 3. A3 (City Bus): Permitted vehicles: City buses with a capacity of 10 or more people. Other permitted vehicle categories: C1, C2, C3, C4.

How to Avoid Stalling When Starting a Motorcycle on a Slope?

To master the semi-clutch operation, after increasing the throttle, slowly release the clutch to achieve a semi-clutch start, which makes stalling less likely. Here are the relevant details: 1. Clutch: The clutch is located within the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch is the input shaft of the transmission. During driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and the transmission, thereby cutting off or transmitting the power from the engine to the transmission. 2. Throttle: The throttle, also known as the 'air valve' or 'throttle valve,' is the control device that regulates the engine's power (thrust). In piston-type aircraft engines, the throttle controls the carburetor's throttle opening to regulate the cylinder's filling volume, thereby determining the engine's output power.

Can I replace the brake pads myself?

You can replace the brake pads yourself. Here is an introduction about brake pads: 1. Introduction: Brake pads are also called brake linings. 2. Function: In the car's braking system, brake pads are the most critical safety components. The quality of all braking effects is determined by the brake pads, so good brake pads are the guardian of people and cars. 3. Material: Brake pads (brake-lining) are generally composed of steel plates, adhesive heat insulation layers, and friction blocks. The steel plates are coated to prevent rust, and the coating process uses an SMT-4 furnace temperature tracker to detect the temperature distribution during the coating process to ensure quality. The heat insulation layer is made of non-heat-conducting materials to provide insulation. 4. Principle: The friction block is composed of friction materials and adhesives. When braking, it is squeezed against the brake disc or brake drum to generate friction, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicle deceleration and braking. Due to friction, the friction block will gradually wear out. Generally speaking, the lower the cost of the brake pads, the faster they wear out.

What size tires can be fitted on 18-inch rims?

18-inch rims can accommodate tires of various sizes, depending on the width of the rims in inches. Typically, 18-inch rims have a width of 7.5 inches, making 225mm wide tires the most suitable, with 235mm wide tires being the maximum. Here are the details: 1. Benefits: 18-inch rims can be as wide as 9 inches, suitable for 255mm wide tires, with a maximum of 265mm. These wider tires provide significant advantages in terms of mid-to-high range acceleration and braking performance. However, even wider rims and tires are not suitable for civilian vehicles. 2. Rim Replacement: If budget is not a concern, you can opt for rim replacement. Well-known lightweight rims are manufactured using forging technology. There is also another type made using cliff technology, which, although slightly less lightweight, can reduce the weight by at least 7kg compared to original rims of the same size. Lighter weight improves the car's initial acceleration, making daily driving more agile, and the higher toughness also makes them less prone to damage compared to original rims.

What is the maximum number of people a car can carry?

A standard sedan is officially rated to carry five people, and exceeding this number constitutes overloading. The actual maximum seating capacity of a sedan depends on the interior space. If the cabin is sufficiently spacious, it can accommodate more individuals, with distinctions made between adults and minors. For non-road use, a typical sedan can fit approximately 8 adults, while larger compact or midsize SUV models may accommodate even more. Many manufacturers use this to demonstrate their vehicles' spaciousness. However, for road use, it is advisable to adhere to the vehicle's rated passenger capacity. For example, a 5-seater should carry no more than 5 people, and a 7-seater no more than 7. Article 55, Clause 1 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates that passenger vehicles on highways must not exceed the rated passenger capacity, except for children exempt from tickets as per regulations. When the rated capacity is full, exempt children must not exceed 10% of the rated passenger count. The new traffic regulations explicitly state that for vehicles other than medium-sized or larger passenger/goods vehicles, school buses, or hazardous material transport vehicles, exceeding the speed limit by 50% to 70% will result in a 12-point penalty and possible license suspension upon first offense. Exceeding by 70% to 100% warrants a 12-point penalty and license revocation, while exceeding by over 100% incurs the same penalties. Sedans are generally 5-seaters, so legally, they can carry a maximum of 5 people.
