Brake pad replacement criteria are primarily determined by the thickness of the brake pads and the wear condition of the brake discs, typically between 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. Here is some extended information on brake pad maintenance: 1. Avoid sudden braking: Emergency braking causes significant damage to brake pads. When driving normally, pay attention to braking gradually or using intermittent braking, which results in less wear on the brake pads. 2. Reduce braking frequency: Develop a good habit of minimizing braking while driving. Use engine braking to reduce speed before applying the brakes for further deceleration or stopping. Downshifting can also help achieve speed reduction. 3. Break-in period after replacing brake pads: After installing new brake pads, be sure to pump the brakes several times to eliminate the gap between the pads and the brake discs. Additionally, new brake pads require a break-in period of 200 kilometers to achieve optimal braking performance, so drive cautiously immediately after replacement.

Why Can't the Car Door Open After Unlocking?

After unlocking, the car door may not open mainly due to faults in the outer door handle cable or the door lock mechanism. Remote keys operate in three ways based on their usage: active mode, passive mode, and coil induction mode. Relevant information about car doors is as follows: 1. Introduction: A car door provides access for the driver and passengers, isolates external disturbances, reduces side impacts to some extent, and protects occupants. The aesthetics of a car are also related to the design of its doors. 2. Criteria for Good Car Doors: The quality of a car door is mainly reflected in its anti-collision performance, sealing performance, ease of opening and closing, and other functional indicators. Anti-collision performance is particularly important because, in the event of a side collision, the buffer distance is very short, making it easy for occupants to be injured.

Can a B2 driver's license be restored after downgrade due to drunk driving?

Drunk driving makes it impossible to restore a B2 driver's license. After a B2 license is temporarily suspended for six months and downgraded to C1, the following steps are required to restore the B2 license: Scoring cycle: Apply for an upgrade after meeting the requirement of no 12-point record in the previous scoring cycle. Therefore, you need to wait until the current scoring cycle ends and then go through another scoring cycle before applying for an upgrade, which takes at least one year. Cancel C1: Cancel the C1 license and directly apply for B2. You can cancel the C1 license once the suspension period ends and then immediately apply for B2. Cases where restoration is impossible: Under the following circumstances, you cannot apply for a medium-sized or larger vehicle driver's license, no matter how much time has passed: Causing a fatal traffic accident with equal or greater responsibility; Driving under the influence of alcohol; Having your driver's license revoked or canceled within the past ten years.

In addition, turn off the car's A/C button to save energy. The compressor does not participate in the work when the air is heated, and the air conditioning heating is carried out through the heat of the engine's coolant and the glass heating wire. AUTO: Press the AUTO button, and the air conditioning system will automatically maintain the stability of the temperature in the car without manual setting. Including whether to cool or heat at this time, the size of the air volume will be sensed by the sensor, so as to intelligently adjust.

What does 'Please check TPMS' mean?

TPMS stands for Tire Pressure Monitoring System. If the dashboard displays 'Please check TPMS system', it may indicate abnormal tire pressure or a sensor malfunction. Tire pressure should neither be too high nor too low. If the pressure is too low, the tire may develop wave-like deformations during high-speed driving, increasing the risk of a blowout. Below are some relevant details about tires: 1. Check the tire's expiration date: The sidewall of the tire has a four-digit number indicating the manufacturing date, with the first two digits representing the week and the last two the year. Generally, tires should not be used for more than 3 years or exceed 60,000 kilometers. 2. Pay attention to the sidewall: As tire rubber ages, deep cracks may appear on the sidewall. However, as long as the sidewall hasn't been impacted and the cords are intact, the tire can still be used. The triangular mark on the sidewall helps locate a raised indicator in the tread grooves, which determines the tire's actual wear limit. That value should be greater than 1.6 millimeters.
