Resurfacing brake discs can cause deformation of the brake discs. If the brake discs are severely worn and cannot be resurfaced, they need to be replaced. Introduction to brake discs: A brake disc is a circular disc that rotates when the vehicle is moving. The brake caliper clamps the brake disc to generate braking force - when you press the brake pedal, it's this clamping action that slows down or stops the vehicle. Effects of aging brake discs: If the brake discs are severely worn and cannot be resurfaced, they need to be replaced. Steering wheel vibration is mostly caused by deformed brake discs or aged/loosened suspension systems.

Why Does a Fart Smell Suddenly Appear in the Car?

There are several reasons why a fart-like smell might suddenly appear in the car: 1. Clutch: A smell resembling "fart odor" inside the car could also indicate a problem with the clutch. When driving uphill with the clutch in a semi-engaged state, the front of the car may shake violently, causing significant damage to the clutch plates. In this semi-engaged state, the friction between the clutch plates generates high temperatures, almost as if they are burning, leading to this odor. As long as the semi-engagement action is performed correctly and smoothly, this phenomenon should not occur. 2. Antifreeze: Another possible cause of a "fart smell" inside the car, aside from human factors, is a leak in the antifreeze. If the radiator of the heater core is damaged, allowing antifreeze to leak into it, the negative pressure effect can draw the unpleasant odor into the car even when the air conditioning is not turned on.

How to Switch Between Gasoline and Electric Modes?

The switching between gasoline and electric modes is automatically controlled by the computer, with the engine automatically engaging at certain speeds; it can also be manually controlled using a button to switch between hybrid and pure electric modes directly. Advantages of hybrid vehicles: 1. They can be refueled at gas stations without changing the vehicle's usage habits. 2. High fuel economy and superior driving performance. Hybrid vehicles use fuel for the engine, and during startup and acceleration, the assistance of an electric motor can reduce fuel consumption. The internal combustion engine can be shut down, allowing the battery to drive alone, achieving "zero" emissions. 3. The power performance is better than that of a pure internal combustion engine vehicle of the same displacement, especially during startup and acceleration, where the electric motor can effectively compensate for the weakness of low-speed torque in the internal combustion engine. 4. Reduces mechanical noise inside the vehicle, using the electric motor at low speeds or idle.

Can I Claim Insurance for a Flat Tire?

Car insurance does not cover tire damage. Since car tires are considered consumable items, insurance companies typically do not provide separate compensation for them. However, if another vehicle damages your tire, you may file a claim under the third-party liability insurance of the at-fault party. Article 10, Clause 4 of the Automobile Insurance Regulations states: 'The insurer shall not be liable for compensation for separate wheel damage, separate glass breakage, body scratches without obvious collision marks, or loss of newly installed equipment.' When a car tire approaches its wear indicator, it should be replaced promptly. All tire brands feature wear indicators at the base of the tread grooves. For standard passenger car tires, the wear indicator height is 1.6mm, which is also the legally mandated minimum groove depth. For heavy-duty tires, the wear indicator height is 2.4mm. To ensure optimal tire performance, regular wheel alignment and tire rotation are essential—these should be performed every 10,000 kilometers. Additionally, frequently check tire pressure: overinflated tires significantly reduce tire lifespan, while underinflated tires can impair braking performance and cause steering difficulties or heaviness.

What is the difference between the two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions of the Avancier?

The differences between the two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions of the Avancier are: 1. Different driving methods: The two-wheel drive Avancier uses front-wheel drive; the four-wheel drive Avancier uses all-wheel drive. 2. Different power: The two-wheel drive Avancier is equipped with a 1.5T engine; the four-wheel drive Avancier is equipped with a 2.0T engine. Taking the Avancier 370T as an example: it is a mid-size SUV with exterior dimensions of 4816mm in length, 1942mm in width, and 1669mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2820mm. It is equipped with 1.5-liter and 2.0-liter turbocharged engines and a continuously variable transmission, with a maximum power of 200 kW and a maximum torque of 370 Nm. The front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent suspension.

What are the effects of a clogged fuel tank vent hole?

Automatic transmission vehicles may downshift, experience sluggish acceleration, and produce abnormal noises. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Automatic transmission vehicles may downshift: When the exhaust pipe is clogged, the engine power of an automatic transmission vehicle will decrease. Typically, when the driver wants to accelerate after reaching a certain gear, they will press the accelerator. If there is no response, they may press it harder, but this usually does not result in actual acceleration and may instead cause the vehicle to downshift. This is due to the clogged exhaust pipe. 2. Sluggish acceleration: When attempting to accelerate, the vehicle may feel underpowered. This lack of power is often caused by incomplete combustion in the engine, which reduces power output. The root cause of incomplete combustion is usually a clogged exhaust pipe. 3. Abnormal noises: When there is an issue with the vehicle's exhaust pipe, abnormal noises may occur. These noises are typically a rattling sound, distinct from other types of abnormal noises. Additionally, abnormal noises from the exhaust system may be accompanied by excessive exhaust emissions. If left unaddressed for a long time, this can potentially damage other components of the vehicle.

What are the test items for Driving Test Subject 3?

Subject 3 consists of a total of 16 test items: light simulation, preparation for getting on the car, starting, driving straight, changing lanes, passing intersections, passing crosswalks, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, operating gear shifting (acceleration and deceleration), turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, and parking by the roadside. Additional related precautions are as follows: 1. When turning on the turn signal, note that the turn signal must be on for 3 seconds or mentally count to 3 before turning the steering wheel. 2. When driving straight, pay attention to the matching of gear and speed. The allowable range for first gear is 0~20, and the appropriate time to shift to second gear is between 15~20; the allowable range for second gear is 10~30, and the appropriate time to shift to third gear is between 25~30; the allowable range for third gear is 20~40, and the appropriate time to shift to fourth gear is between 35~40. Note that during the test, third gear must never exceed 40, otherwise it will be considered as "gear and speed mismatch" and result in a 10-point deduction. The allowable range for fourth gear is 30~50, and the appropriate time to shift to fifth gear is between 45~50.
