Common parking brake faults include poor parking brake performance and the parking brake lever failing to stay in position. Poor parking brake performance: Symptoms: The vehicle can still start after pulling the parking brake lever, or it cannot stably stop on a slope, leading to slipping. The main causes of poor parking brake performance are excessive brake clearance, insufficient contact area between the brake shoes and drum, oil contamination or hardening of the brake shoes or lining, exposed rivets, or severe deformation of the brake drum or disc. Parking brake lever failing to stay in position: Symptoms: The lever cannot be released after pulling the parking brake lever, and it returns to its initial position when released. The main causes are a failed or broken pawl spring, which should be replaced; excessive wear or stripping of the pawl and gear teeth, which should be replaced; deformation or jamming of the pawl or lever, which should be corrected or replaced; or loose rivets on the pawl or gear plate, which should be repaired.

What to Do When the Car Oil Pan is Damaged?

The solution for a damaged car oil pan is: wait for rescue and do not start the engine, then replace the oil pan and engine oil. The oil pan is the lower half of the crankcase, also known as the lower crankcase. Its function is to seal the crankcase as the outer shell of the oil reservoir, preventing impurities from entering, and to collect and store the lubricating oil flowing back from the friction surfaces of the diesel engine, dissipating some heat and preventing the oxidation of the lubricating oil. The oil pan is mostly made of thin steel plate through stretching and stamping, equipped with an oil stabilizing baffle inside to avoid oil splashing caused by engine vibration, which helps in the precipitation of lubricating oil impurities. The side is equipped with an oil dipstick to check the oil level.

How to reset the tire pressure monitoring on the Verano?

To reset the tire pressure monitoring on the Verano, simply press and hold the checkmark button on the steering wheel until you hear an alarm sound. More details are as follows: 1. The Buick Verano is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), which alerts the driver when low tire pressure is detected. When low tire pressure is detected, the TPMS will illuminate the tire pressure indicator on the instrument cluster. The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display a message to check the tire pressure. 2. The indicator light and message will appear during each ignition cycle until the tires are inflated to the correct pressure. If the indicator light comes on, you should stop as soon as possible and inflate the tires to the recommended pressure shown on the tire pressure label. In cold weather, the tire pressure indicator may illuminate when the vehicle is first started and then turn off after driving. This may be an early warning that the tire pressure is decreasing, and the tires need to be inflated to the correct pressure. Although the TPMS can warn of low tire pressure, it cannot replace normal tire maintenance.

How many kilometers for the first maintenance of the Tayron?

Tayron first maintenance: The first maintenance should be done at 5000KM or within half a year, whichever comes first. The following are the precautions for the first maintenance of the Tayron: 1. Make an appointment with the 4S store in advance: As more and more people buy cars, the number of people getting maintenance at 4S stores is also increasing. 2. Prepare the necessary materials: Usually, the driver's license, maintenance manual, and warranty manual must be brought. During the first maintenance, the 4S store will register the vehicle's VIN, chassis number, and other information into the computer system, which can be queried by brand 4S stores nationwide, ensuring nationwide maintenance coverage for your car. 3. Record any abnormalities or problems encountered during daily driving: If you encounter any faults or questions while driving, you can record them. Inform the staff during the first maintenance registration so that the technician can check all these issues during the first maintenance.

What is the difference between AT and MT tires?

The difference between AT and MT tires lies in their types: AT tires, known as all-terrain tires, are suitable for use in many places and are multifunctional tires, commonly found in the market; MT tires are more suitable for off-road vehicles, offering strong grip and off-road capabilities. 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. Precautions for tire use include: 1. Pay attention to the degree of tread wear; 2. Avoid excessively high or low tire pressure; 3. Remove debris from the tread to prevent punctures that could lead to tire leaks or blowouts; 4. Regularly rotate tires to prevent uneven wear.

What Do Torque and Wheelbase Mean in Cars?

Wheelbase is the distance from the center of the front wheels to the center of the rear wheels; torque is a unit that measures a car's acceleration capability. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. The wheelbase of a car refers to the distance from the center of the front axle to the center of the rear axle. When viewed from the side of the car, it is the distance between the centers of two adjacent wheels on the same side, perpendicular to the car's longitudinal symmetry plane. The wheelbase affects the car's interior space—the longer the wheelbase, the more spacious the car; the shorter the wheelbase, the more cramped the car. 2. The torque of a car refers to the engine's torque, which is a data output from the crankshaft end. The faster the engine's speed, the smaller the torque produced. This data also reflects the car's ability to handle loads within a certain range. An engine with high torque is suitable for climbing slopes or carrying cargo, as it can provide ample power to the car; an engine with low torque is more suitable for small vehicles.

Where is the VIN located on a car?

Vehicle VIN codes can generally be seen at the lower position of the front windshield on the driver's side. They can also be found on the car's trunk or engine frame. The vehicle VIN code is essentially the chassis number. The functions of the chassis number: Confirming vehicle identity: Especially under special circumstances, the chassis number can accurately identify your vehicle, saving time. Due to the uniqueness of the chassis number, it can better confirm the vehicle. Traffic violation queries: Vehicle owners need to input the chassis number to check for violations. Precise parts lookup: If vehicle owners are unsure about part numbers, they can search by inputting the chassis number. Many after-sales personnel operate this way. Composition of the chassis number: The chassis number is a 17-character serial code, consisting of uppercase English letters and numbers. These 17 characters can be divided into three parts: the first part is WMI—World Manufacturer Identifier (positions 1–3); the second part is VDS—Vehicle Descriptor Section (positions 4–9); and the third part is VIS—Vehicle Indicator Section (positions 10–17).
