Precautions for newly replaced brake pads are as follows: 1. Under normal driving conditions, the brake pads should be inspected every 5,000 kilometers. It is necessary to check not only the remaining thickness of the brake pads but also their wear condition, whether the wear on both sides is even, and whether they retract smoothly. Any abnormal conditions must be addressed immediately. 2. Some vehicles are equipped with a brake pad warning function. Once the wear limit is reached, the dashboard will alert you to replace the pads. Pads that have reached their usage limit must be replaced; even if they can still be used for a while, they will reduce braking effectiveness and affect driving safety. 3. Brake pads are consumable parts in a vehicle and will gradually wear out during daily driving. When the brake pads wear to their limit, they must be replaced; otherwise, braking effectiveness will be reduced, potentially leading to safety accidents.

How is liability determined when the front car brakes suddenly and the rear car rear-ends it?

The rear car bears full responsibility when the front car brakes suddenly and a rear-end collision occurs. According to traffic laws, the following vehicle must maintain a sufficient safe distance from the vehicle in front. If the front vehicle brakes suddenly, the rear vehicle must be able to stop in time. If the rear vehicle fails to stop and causes a collision, regardless of the reason for the front vehicle's sudden braking, the rear vehicle is fully at fault if it hits the front vehicle. During dusk, it is common to encounter vehicles where the driver has not turned on the lights in time or the taillights are broken without the driver noticing, reducing the vehicle's visibility and increasing the risk of accidents. In such rear-end collisions, the law recognizes that the front vehicle bears secondary liability, while the rear vehicle bears primary liability.

What to Do When an Automatic Car Battery Dies?

Solutions for a dead battery in an automatic car: 1. Jump-start with jumper cables—if another vehicle is available nearby, this method saves time and effort. You'll need a functioning car and two relatively thick cables, paying attention to the correct connection sequence. 2. A portable car jump starter can solve the issue safely. Drive responsibly, monitor fuel and battery levels. 3. Push-start the car with help from nearby friends. Before pushing, turn the key to the ignition position. Once reaching a certain speed, quickly shift into first gear, release the clutch pedal, and press the accelerator. Once the engine starts, immediately depress the clutch pedal while controlling the throttle to prevent stalling. Then, stop slowly and continue charging the battery. 4. Towing-start with a tow rope—securely fasten both vehicles and begin towing slowly, ensuring safe speeds and driving conditions.
