During vehicle use, you may feel the car shaking when applying the brakes, while driving normally there are no issues. This situation is generally caused by problems with the brake discs. This is because, strictly speaking, the brake discs have become deformed. Brake discs also require dynamic balancing, but the requirements for brake disc balancing are even stricter than those for tires. Reasons why brake discs cannot maintain dynamic balance: 1. Uneven wear on the brake discs, meaning severe wear on one side. This is due to issues with the vehicle itself, primarily caused by poor retraction of the brake caliper. Car braking is achieved by two friction pads pressing against the brake disc through the caliper to create friction and braking effect. Since the brake is only connected to the inner friction pad, incomplete retraction of the caliper after braking will lead to increased wear on one side. 2. Use of low-quality brake pads. Inferior brake pads contain a large amount of metal substances. When these metal substances come into contact with the brake disc, because they are harder, the brake pads wear more slowly (they are meant to wear) but will reduce the lifespan of the brake disc. Solutions: 1. Replace the brake discs. This can be decided based on the condition of the brake discs. If the brake discs are already heavily worn, it is recommended to replace them altogether. 2. Machine tool processing. After removing the brake discs, give them to a professional machinist for deep processing to restore their dynamic balance.

Does Crossing the Line at the End of a Yellow Light Count as Running a Red Light?

The traffic police department stated that according to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," vehicles that have already crossed the stop line when the yellow light at an intersection is flashing may continue to pass. If the yellow light is already on and the vehicle continues to force its way through, being caught in such a situation will also be considered as running a red light. Criteria for determining running a red light: Electronic monitoring devices take three photos as evidence for running a red light: the front wheels crossing the stop line, the rear wheels crossing the stop line, and the front wheels crossing the opposite stop line. Only when all three photos are present will it be deemed as running a red light. How to avoid running a red light while driving: When there are arrow signal lights, follow the arrow lights; otherwise, follow the circular lights; When the red light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the yellow light is on, the front of the vehicle must not cross the stop line; When the green light just starts flashing, if you are close and moving fast, you should proceed, as braking might not stop you in time to avoid crossing the stop line; if you are far away, moving slowly, or the intersection is congested, you should stop; When driving in the city, develop the habit of looking for traffic lights whenever you see a crosswalk or stop line at an intersection.

Is There 97 Octane Gasoline?

There is 97 octane gasoline. Below is an introduction to 97 octane gasoline: 1. Introduction: 97 octane gasoline consists of 97% isooctane and 3% n-heptane. Engines with high compression ratios should use high-octane gasoline. If a high-compression engine uses low-octane gasoline, it may cause abnormal combustion, leading to knocking, increased fuel consumption, and reduced driving performance. 2. Difference Between 93 Octane and 97 Octane Gasoline: The main difference between 93 octane and 97 octane gasoline lies in their anti-knock properties, which are determined by the octane rating. A higher octane rating indicates better anti-knock performance, but it does not mean the gasoline is cleaner. Using higher-octane gasoline does not make it more environmentally friendly. 3. Environmental Impact: In the current domestic gasoline blending process, an additive called methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is commonly used to increase the octane rating of the fuel. However, MTBE can cause groundwater pollution. The aromatic hydrocarbons, olefins, and sulfur present in gasoline, when not fully burned, can produce PM2.5. These chemical substances, emitted through exhaust gases, can combine with the oxygen molecules from MTBE, leading to secondary production of even more PM2.5.

What is the tire size of the Chery Flagcloud 2?

The tire size of the Chery Flagcloud 2 is 185/60R14. Tire size and specifications: They respectively represent: tire width (mm), aspect ratio (%, the percentage of tire height to width), tire type code, rim diameter (inches), load index, and allowable speed code. Taking 185/60R14 as an example: 185 is the width of the tire, measured in millimeters (mm); 60: is the aspect ratio of the tire, which is the ratio of the tire's height to its width; R: represents that the tire structure is radial; 14: indicates that the tire is suitable for a 14-inch wheel rim.

What is the power output of the Honda CR-V hybrid?

The maximum power output of the electric motor in the hybrid version is 184 horsepower. Introduction to Hybrid Power: A hybrid electric vehicle refers to a vehicle whose propulsion system consists of two or more individual drive systems that can operate simultaneously. The driving power of the vehicle is provided by either a single drive system or a combination of systems, depending on the actual driving conditions. Hybrid Electric Vehicles: The commonly referred hybrid electric vehicles generally mean gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles, which use traditional internal combustion engines (diesel or gasoline engines) and electric motors as power sources. Some engines are modified to use alternative fuels such as compressed natural gas, propane, and ethanol fuels.
