The reasons for squeaking brakes when driving at low speeds are: 1. Missing or damaged brake disc fixing screws; 2. The brake system requires additional lubrication; 3. Small particles between the brake pads and brake disc; 4. Dirty brake disc surface or uneven material density causing severe wear. Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving locomotives, vehicles, other transport tools, or machinery. Its working principle is: fixing a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and installing corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs on the machine base to generate braking torque under external force.

What is the wading depth of a Cadillac?

Cadillac's wading depth is 5m. Here are the handling methods for a water-soaked car: 1. Slow down or stop: When encountering uncertain water depth, brake immediately without hesitation while driving. Stop to observe the waterline when trucks or large vehicles pass by to determine if you can continue driving. 2. Maintain slow speed without stopping: If the vehicle has already entered a deep water section, stay calm, keep the throttle steady to control speed (avoid excessive speed), try not to shift gears or stop during this process, and exit the area as quickly as possible. 3. Post-disaster precautions: Even if the vehicle doesn't appear severely damaged, it's essential to have it inspected at a repair shop to prevent hidden hazards caused by residual moisture. After the weather clears, open the doors and place the car under sunlight with a fan blowing nearby to effectively accelerate the drying process. Airflow can also effectively inhibit mold growth.

How often should the brake fluid of Wuling Hongguang be changed?

Generally, the brake fluid should be completely replaced every two years or 40,000 kilometers. Although the replacement cycle of brake fluid is relatively long, if it is not replaced in time, the brake fluid will become turbid, the boiling point will decrease, and the effect will deteriorate. Over time, it will damage the entire braking system and even lead to brake failure. The introduction of brake fluid is as follows: 1. Introduction one: Brake fluid, also called brake oil or hydraulic brake fluid, its English name is Brake Fluid, which is an indispensable part of the braking system. In the braking system, it acts as a medium for force transmission. Because the liquid cannot be compressed, the pressure output from the master cylinder will be directly transmitted to the sub-cylinder through the brake fluid. 2. Introduction two: Hydraulic brake fluid is a functional liquid used in the hydraulic braking system to transmit pressure to stop the rotation of the wheels. Its working pressure is generally 2MPa, and the high pressure can reach 4~5MPa. All liquids have the characteristic of being incompressible. In a sealed container or a pipeline filled with liquid, when the liquid is under pressure, the pressure will be quickly and uniformly transmitted to all parts of the liquid.

What does the yellow exclamation mark in Highlander mean?

There are four possible situations when a yellow exclamation mark appears on the car dashboard: general fault, automatic transmission fault, abnormal tire pressure, and lighting fault. The following is a detailed analysis of these four situations: General fault: An exclamation mark inside a triangle indicates that there is a fault in the general performance or components and functions of the car. This mainly includes parking sensor failure, fuel cut-off system intervention or failure, external light failure, engine oil pressure sensor failure, etc. It is necessary to go to a 4S shop for inspection and troubleshooting to identify the source of the fault. Automatic transmission fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark inside is the automatic transmission fault warning light, indicating that there is a fault in the transmission or the transmission lubricating oil is below the normal range. The transmission oil needs to be replaced in time. Abnormal tire pressure: An exclamation mark in the middle of a horizontal line under a bracket represents the tire pressure monitoring warning light. When the tire pressure of the car is too low, this warning light will come on. It is necessary to check the tire pressure of the car and restore it to the normal range. Lighting fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is the lighting fault indicator light, indicating that there is a fault with a car light. Solution: Go to a 4S shop for inspection and treatment as soon as possible, or you can check it yourself, focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lighting to see where the problem is. There is also a red exclamation mark inside a circle with brackets, which represents a warning of the braking system, mainly including brake system failure and low brake fluid level. The braking system needs to be repaired immediately to avoid accidents.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Borui in liters?

Borui offers 3 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 70 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.8-liter turbocharged engine, and all models feature a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. All variants adopt a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. The 2021 Borui 1.8T Guofeng Edition and 1.8T Linghang Edition both have a 70-liter fuel tank capacity, using gasoline as fuel with an octane rating of 92. During actual refueling, the fuel quantity may exceed the calibrated capacity. This occurs because automakers measure tank capacity from the tank bottom to the safety level, while additional space exists between the safety level and the tank opening. This design ensures safe expansion of fuel when temperatures rise without causing overflow. If refueling reaches the tank opening, the actual fuel quantity will exceed the calibrated capacity. To check remaining fuel, observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument cluster marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle approaches E, it indicates low fuel level; near F means sufficient fuel.

What is the function of the Wuling PCV valve?

PCV valve mainly functions to guide the gases from the crankcase into the intake manifold through the PCV valve, with a small amount of air entering the intake manifold directly from the air filter via the PCV valve. This prevents phenomena such as icing at the throttle, incomplete combustion, and worsened emissions, while also preventing blow-by gases from entering the atmosphere and avoiding oil deterioration. The working principle of the PCV valve is introduced as follows: 1. Introduction one: The PCV valve is a metering control valve installed between the crankcase ventilation system and the intake system. The PCV is controlled by vacuum, regulating the flow of oil fumes generated by the crankcase ventilation system into the intake system. The flow rate is higher when the engine operates at high speeds compared to low speeds. Additionally, when engine backfire occurs, the PCV valve should cut off ventilation to prevent crankcase explosion. 2. Introduction two: At the end of the engine's combustion process, some unburned mixture leaks into the crankcase under high pressure through the piston rings, which is referred to as "blow-by" in the industry. These blow-by gases can escape from the crankcase into the atmosphere, causing pollution. If not expelled, these blow-by gases can also dilute the engine oil, leading to premature oil deterioration and causing early wear to the engine.

Is the Corolla 1.5L a three-cylinder or four-cylinder engine?

1.5L naturally aspirated engine is a three-cylinder. Below is relevant information about the Corolla: Space: The Corolla has been lengthened in terms of body size, with its wheelbase reaching 2700mm after the extension. In terms of seating space, a tester with a height of 177cm adjusted the front seat to the lowest position, leaving a fist's worth of headroom. When the tester moved to the rear seat, there was 2 fingers' worth of headroom and 1 fist and 3 fingers' worth of legroom. The floor bulge in the middle of the Corolla's rear seat is minimal. Power: Overall power is good, with quick acceleration but relatively slow starts. The engine noise is low, but in reality, when driving exceeds 80 kilometers per hour, the tire noise becomes significant, leading some owners to modify their cars for sound insulation. The new dual VVT-i engine pairs perfectly with the CVT continuously variable transmission, providing ample 2.0L power; the six-speed manual transmission is highly precise with clear gear engagement; however, the four-speed transmission is somewhat outdated.
