Deteriorated automotive brake fluid can lead to unstable braking and a soft brake pedal. Below is a detailed introduction about automotive brakes: 1. Braking: Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, other transportation tools, or machinery. The braking device is a mechanical deceleration device that can slow down the speed, also known as a retarder. 2. Brake system: The brake system consists of a control system, hydraulic system, and power assist system. The control system includes the pedal, handbrake, etc. The hydraulic system is composed of hydraulic oil, brake pump, and hydraulic oil pipes. The power assist system is the vacuum booster pump. The electronic control system consists of ABS pump, ABS sensors, and ABS computer. The execution system is composed of brake calipers, brake pads, and brake discs.

What Causes Coolant to Boil While the Temperature Gauge Shows Normal?

Here are the reasons why coolant may boil while the temperature gauge shows normal: 1. The generator is not generating electricity, leading to poor heat dissipation. 2. Insufficient coolant level, which can easily cause the coolant to boil. 3. Geographical factors, such as being on a plateau, where overheating is more likely. Below are precautions for using coolant: 1. Try to use the same brand of coolant. Different brands use different metal corrosion inhibitors, so mixing them is not advisable. 2. Most coolants have a shelf life of two years. Ensure the product is within its validity period when adding. When replacing, drain the old coolant completely, clean the cooling system thoroughly, and then add new coolant. 3. Avoid diluting with water. Traditional inorganic coolants should not be mixed with water, as this can cause sedimentation and severely impair the coolant's function. Organic coolants can be diluted with water, but excessive dilution should be avoided. 4. For vehicles using coolant, never top up directly with tap water; use distilled or deionized water instead.

What to Do When the Car Battery Won't Charge?

If the car battery won't charge, replacing it with a new one can solve the problem. The main reason a car battery won't charge is likely due to deep discharge, meaning that when the vehicle is turned off, some of the car's equipment remains in operation, continuously draining the battery. Over time, this will inevitably accelerate the battery's degradation. Signs of a failing car battery are as follows: 1. Difficulty starting the car: If the car suddenly becomes hard to start without other contributing factors, it may be a sign that the battery is about to fail. 2. Dimming lights during idle: For example, when stopped at a red light or temporarily parked, the headlights may suddenly dim. This is because the engine's charging power decreases during idle. 3. Battery warning light illuminates: When the battery warning light comes on, it alerts the owner to have the battery inspected and repaired at a service center. 4. Normal driving but occasional complete power loss after parking and restarting: This occurs because, as the battery nears the end of its lifespan, the starting current becomes insufficient, leading to increased oxidation at the battery terminals and resulting in a complete power loss.

What is the battery model for car remote keys?

Car remote keys primarily use battery models CR2016, CR2025, and CR2032. Below are detailed introductions to the battery models used in car remote keys: 1. Button-type CR2016 battery: This is highly prevalent in car key remotes. This type of battery has a voltage of 3V. Generally, car key batteries operate on 9V, so all three batteries are replaced each time. Models such as Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen, Mazda, etc., use this type. The specifications of the CR2016 are a battery diameter of 20mm and a thickness of 1.6mm. 2. Button-type CR2025 battery: Its usage rate is much lower than that of the CR2016. It is thicker than the 2016 but has a relatively higher storage capacity. The specifications of the CR2025 are a battery diameter of 20mm and a thickness of 2.5mm. It is commonly found in audio remotes. 3. Button-type CR2032 battery: It also has a voltage of 3V, but its capacity reaches around 200mAh, making its thickness double that of the CR2016.

Is it illegal to replace halogen lights with xenon lights?

Replacing halogen lights with xenon lights is an illegal act. More information about modifying car lights is as follows: 1. Legal basis: Article 16 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' states that 'No unit or individual may assemble a motor vehicle or alter the registered structure, construction, or features of a motor vehicle without authorization.' Article 97 also stipulates: 'Illegal installation of alarms or marking lights will be forcibly removed and confiscated by the traffic management department of the public security organ, and a fine of not less than 200 yuan but not more than 2,000 yuan shall be imposed.' 2. Introduction: Halogen lights emit light by heating the filament to an incandescent state, while xenon lights rely on high-voltage arc discharge for illumination. Compared to ordinary halogen car lights, xenon lights have the advantages of lower energy consumption, higher brightness, longer range, and longer lifespan. The disadvantages of xenon lights are poor light focusing (which can be solved by equipping lenses), they can be too bright and affect the vision of oncoming drivers, and they have weak penetration power and a delay effect.
