The symptoms when brake pads need to be replaced are: 1. The thickness of the brake pads is only one-third of the original; 2. There is abnormal noise when lightly applying the brakes; 3. The braking response is slow, and the braking force becomes weak. The method to replace car brake pads is: 1. Lift the car and remove the tire; 2. Unscrew the fixing screws on the brake caliper and remove the brake caliper; 3. Remove the old brake pads and push back the brake caliper piston; 4. Clean the installation bracket of the brake disc and install the new brake pads. Car brake pads, also known as car brake linings, refer to the friction materials fixed on the brake drum or brake disc that rotates with the wheel.

What is the speed for gear shifting in Subject 3?

When the speed is around 15 mph, shift to second gear. Continue pressing the accelerator until the speed reaches around 25 mph, then shift to third gear. Keep accelerating until the speed reaches around 40 mph, shift to third gear, release the accelerator, and when the speed drops to around 20 mph, shift back to second gear. Below are some related techniques: 1. Exam requirements: Follow the voice prompts from the exam system to perform the corresponding gear shifting operations. 2. Upshifting: The action should be quick and smooth, with accurate gear selection. Do not look down at the gear lever or coast in neutral. Before upshifting, check the left and right rearview mirrors to ensure road safety. First, release the accelerator with your right foot, press the clutch with your left foot, shift to the appropriate gear, then slowly release the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator to increase speed. 3. Downshifting: Before downshifting, check the left and right rearview mirrors to ensure road safety. For example, when downshifting from third to second gear, release the accelerator (or press the brake) at 30 mph, and when the speed gradually drops to 20 mph, shift to second gear. 4. During driving: Maintain a match between the gear and speed. Shift to first gear at 0-10 mph, second gear at 10-20 mph, third gear at 20-30 mph, and fourth gear at 30-40 mph.

Is there a charge for checking the tire pressure warning at a 4S shop?

If the tire pressure warning light is on due to an increase or decrease in tire pressure, there should be no charge for visiting a 4S shop. They will only need to adjust and supplement the tire pressure and reset the tire pressure warning light. However, if the tire pressure warning light is on due to a malfunction, eliminating the warning light will require repairs by the 4S shop, and these repairs will incur a charge. Abnormal tire pressure can be caused by the following reasons: Abnormal tire pressure: Generally, the system will alert if the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In such cases, a tire inspection and pressure adjustment are necessary. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure monitoring system is not reset in time, it will continue to record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator light to remain on. In this case, simply resetting the tire pressure monitoring system will suffice. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which is used to monitor tire pressure, is installed directly inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the tire pressure sensor is damaged during driving, such as by hitting an object, the tire pressure fault light will also illuminate. For sensor damage issues, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.

Do I need to replace my vehicle license?
