The causes of brake vibration at high speeds are: 1. Malfunction in the braking system; 2. Excessive wear in the suspension system; 3. Contaminants or oil stains on the brake discs. If the car vibrates whenever the brakes are applied during driving, the issue may lie with the brake discs. Poor maintenance can lead to deformation of the brake discs, causing rhythmic vibrations during braking. If vibration occurs only during high-speed braking, deformation of the brake discs can be ruled out as the cause. Incorrect wheel balancing parameters can also cause the vehicle to vibrate at high speeds. This vibration is related to the vehicle's speed and occurs regardless of whether the brakes are applied. If vibration occurs only during braking, wheel balancing issues can be excluded as the cause.

What are the reasons for high tire pressure?

The reasons for high tire pressure are: 1. Over-inflation of the tire leads to high tire pressure readings; 2. Tire dynamic imbalance with excessive deflection causes high tire wear temperature and increased tire pressure; 3. Inaccurate four-wheel alignment of a particular wheel. Hazards of high tire pressure: 1. Reduced tire friction and adhesion, affecting braking performance; 2. Causes steering wheel vibration and deviation, reducing driving comfort; 3. Accelerates localized wear of the tread center pattern, shortening tire lifespan; 4. Increases vehicle vibration, indirectly affecting the lifespan of other components. Factors affecting tire pressure: 1. Seasonal factors: In winter, adjust tire pressure based on the standard tire pressure, increasing it by 0.2 bar; in summer, if the car is parked outdoors, the pressure can be 0.1 bar lower than the standard to prevent high-temperature blowouts; 2. Tire pressure measurement environment: Cold tires and hot tires have different pressures, with a typical difference of 0.3 bar to note during measurement.

What does Outlander ECO mean?

ECO refers to the vehicle's economical driving mode. ECO is an English abbreviation derived from the combination of Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving), and Optimization (power). The Eco mode is further divided into active Eco driving mode and non-active Eco driving mode. When the Eco indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it indicates that the vehicle's economical mode has been activated. The Eco mode is categorized into active and non-active types. The difference lies in the fact that the active type has its own dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to activate it. When the driver presses the Eco mode switch, the dashboard indicator light immediately turns on, and the vehicle automatically begins adjusting settings such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output power. The non-active Eco mode does not have a dedicated button. When the Eco indicator light on the dashboard illuminates, it serves only as a reminder function. The Eco system automatically evaluates your driving behavior. If your current driving operation achieves the optimal fuel supply, the dashboard will simultaneously display the Eco indicator light. Most vehicles employ the active Eco driving mode, meaning they have their own switch button. Therefore, during daily driving, we can activate the Eco mode. However, it is unnecessary to enable the Eco mode when the speed exceeds 120 km/h, during idle parking, in N/P gear, or in manual mode, especially when climbing hills. Doing so would not reflect the fuel-saving characteristics of the Eco mode and could instead impact the vehicle's power performance. Additionally, the Eco mode typically becomes ineffective under the following circumstances: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometers per hour, the system prioritizes speed, causing the Eco mode to automatically deactivate. During idle parking or in N/P gear and manual mode, the Eco mode may also become ineffective. When high torque output is required, such as when climbing hills, the engine control unit prioritizes ensuring sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the Eco mode will not function in such scenarios.

How often should the vehicle's antifreeze be replaced?

Vehicle antifreeze should be replaced every 20,000 kilometers or approximately every 2 years. Antifreeze, fully known as antifreeze coolant, is a coolant with antifreeze properties that prevents the coolant from freezing during cold winter parking, which could otherwise cause the radiator to crack or damage the engine cylinder block. Precautions for using antifreeze: 1. Regularly check the antifreeze level and replenish it promptly if it falls below the minimum mark; 2. Observe whether the antifreeze has any turbid sediment, and replace it immediately if turbidity is present; 3. Different vehicle models use antifreeze of different colors, so they should not be mixed; 4. Before winter, measure the freezing point of the antifreeze to prevent it from freezing.

Where is the Honda Civic engine number located?

Honda Civic engine number is located under the exhaust manifold, on the left side of the engine, and can be seen from the left front wheel. The engine number contains information such as engine model, production time, and origin code. Each engine has a unique engine number, which serves as important vehicle archival information, facilitating engine manufacturers and vehicle management departments in managing vehicle engines. Taking the 2021 Honda Civic as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4517mm, width 1799mm, height 1434mm, wheelbase 2700mm, fuel tank capacity 47l, and curb weight 1343kg.

What to Do If the Transmission Fails?

Solutions for a faulty transmission include: 1. Adding transmission fluid; 2. Replacing the transmission fluid inlet filter screen; 3. Replacing the transmission fluid lines; 4. Replacing the transmission fluid pump; 5. Reinstalling the linkage or cable between the gear shift lever and the manual valve. Maintenance methods for the transmission are: 1. Regularly changing the transmission fluid; 2. Frequently checking the fluid level; 3. Avoiding coasting in neutral; 4. Periodically cleaning the transmission; 5. Avoiding forced gear disengagement; 6. Reducing the time spent idling to warm up the vehicle. The functions of the transmission are: 1. Changing the gear ratio to meet the traction needs under different driving conditions; 2. Enabling reverse driving; 3. Interrupting power transmission to the drive wheels when the engine starts, idles, shifts gears, or needs to stop for power output.
