Toyota's brake pads are partially supplied by Japan's AKEBONO. Here is an introduction to brake pads: 1. Introduction: Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are the most critical safety components in a car's braking system. The effectiveness of all braking depends on the brake pads, making high-quality brake pads the guardian of both people and vehicles. 2. Classification: Brake pads are mainly divided into the following categories: metal brake pads and carbon-ceramic brake pads. Metal brake pads are further divided into low-metallic brake pads and semi-metallic brake pads, with ceramic brake pads classified under low-metallic. Carbon-ceramic brake pads are used in conjunction with carbon-ceramic brake discs. 3. Principle: The working principle of braking is primarily based on friction. By utilizing the friction between the brake pads and brake discs, as well as between the tires and the ground, the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle is converted into thermal energy through friction, bringing the car to a stop.

I just bought a Toyota RAV4, and the brake pads that came with it are said to be from ADVICS. They work quite smoothly. After driving for over two years, the braking feels very stable, especially in the city with frequent starts and stops—no issues at all. Toyota usually outsources to this Japanese company, which specializes in braking systems. When I went for maintenance, the mechanic said the OEM parts fit best, unlike aftermarket ones that sometimes cause noise or uneven wear. It's recommended to check the thickness every 20,000 km during regular maintenance, and replace them immediately if they're too thin. When replacing, choose OEM-spec parts—they're not cheap, but safety is priceless. Don't skimp and switch to random brands; losing control would be a real problem. Also, the manual has supplier details, so checking it is more reliable.

How to Understand High Gears and Low Gears?

Low gears generally refer to 1st and 2nd gears, while high gears usually refer to gears above 3rd. Due to the higher torque of low gears, they can overcome greater resistance, which is why vehicles typically start and climb steep slopes in low gears. High gears, with their higher rotational speeds, allow the wheels to rotate faster, making them suitable for high-speed driving when shifting to higher gears. Here are some related explanations: 1. The Hazards of High Gear at Low RPM: Driving in high gear at low speeds can easily lead to carbon buildup inside the engine. When carbon deposits accumulate to a certain extent, they can cause issues such as difficulty starting the vehicle, increased fuel consumption, reduced engine power, and sluggish acceleration. The engine's computer has a self-learning function and will remember this driving habit, leading to persistent lack of power in the future. 2. The Hazards of Low Gear at High RPM: Driving in low gear at high RPM means the engine has to rotate more times for the same distance. The more the engine rotates, the more wear and tear it experiences, and more gasoline is consumed. For example, driving the same distance in 2nd gear versus 5th gear will require the engine to rotate at least twice as many times in 2nd gear.

What is the function of a hub centric ring?

Hub centric rings can be used to secure the axle hub and wheel hub. Here is some information about hub centric rings: 1. Forged wheels use bolts to secure the rim, with the center ring fitting over the axle hub to provide fixation and stability, achieved through the connection between the center ring and the axle hub. 2. The diameter of the original axle hub matches that of the center ring in the original wheel hub, allowing the original wheel hub to be installed. 3. In such cases, another component called a Wheel-Center-Hubring, commonly known as a hub centric ring, is needed to secure the axle hub and wheel hub.

How many steps are there to start a Magotan?

Magotan starting method consists of the following three steps: Step 1: Insert the Magotan key into the first position. At this time, the dashboard speedometer shows 20 mph, and a yellow steering wheel light appears, indicating that the steering wheel is being unlocked. Step 2: Wait for the yellow steering wheel light to go off, which means the steering wheel is unlocked. Then, insert the Magotan key into the second position. The steering wheel light continues to illuminate, changing from yellow to red, indicating that the steering wheel power assist system is undergoing self-testing, and the Magotan begins its onboard computer self-test. Step 3: When the yellow airbag light at the 50 position on the tachometer goes off, you can press the key all the way down to start the Magotan's engine. Additional information on precautions for using automatic transmission vehicles: 1. Do not coast in neutral while driving, as it will wear the gears of the transmission and reduce its service life. 2. When switching between P, R, N, and D gears, make sure the vehicle is stopped before shifting. When the car is in motion, the gear is locked and cannot be changed. 3. If the traffic light wait is long, you can shift to N gear to prevent the need to keep the brake pedal pressed in D gear, which can pose safety hazards and affect the car's braking system. 4. The automatic transmission fluid should be replaced approximately every 80,000 kilometers. If the vehicle is used frequently and mostly in urban areas, it can be replaced around 60,000 kilometers.
