Possible reasons for the clicking sound when braking suddenly: It may be the sound triggered by the ABS. The working process of ABS is actually a cyclic process of locking and releasing, keeping the vehicle in a state of near-lock intermittent rolling. When sudden braking activates the ABS, a clicking sound occurs, which is normal. There are mainly three reasons for abnormal brake noises: 1. Material issues with the brake pads. Most brake pads currently used are semi-metallic, and if the metal in the brake pads is too hard, it can cause noise during braking. In this case, the brake pads should be replaced with products that have a higher friction coefficient. 2. Uneven brake discs. When the brake discs become uneven, it is easier to produce noise when braking. In this situation, it is recommended to replace the brake discs or resurface them.

How to Change Manual Transmission Fluid?

Manual transmission fluid can be changed using the following methods: 1. Gravity Drain Method: Loosen the oil pan bolt to allow the transmission fluid to drain out by gravity; 2. Machine Flush Method: Store new transmission fluid inside a flushing machine, connect the transmission to the machine via hoses, and use the machine to push out the old fluid with the new one. A manual transmission is a gearbox that alters the engine's speed and torque delivered to the drive wheels. It enables the vehicle to achieve varying traction and speed during scenarios like stationary starts, hill climbs, turns, and acceleration, while keeping the engine operating within its optimal performance range.

What does the S gear in an automatic transmission mean?

Automatic transmission S gear is the sport mode. The conditions for using S gear are: 1. During rainy or foggy weather or when there is a lot of water on the ground; 2. When overtaking; 3. When going uphill or downhill. An automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. Other automatic transmission gears include: 1. P gear is the parking gear and starting gear; 2. N gear is the neutral gear; 3. D gear is the drive gear, also known as the forward gear; 4. L gear is the low-speed gear; 5. R gear is the reverse gear; 6. OD gear is the overdrive gear. The method for starting an automatic transmission car is: 1. Insert the key into the keyhole and turn it one notch to allow the car's computer system to perform a self-check; 2. After pressing the brake, turn the key to the ignition position to start the engine; 3. After turning on the turn signal, press the foot brake, shift to D gear, and release the handbrake.

Does the car owner need to pick up the car in person when purchasing a vehicle?

No, the vehicle driver, owner, or manager can meet the requirements. Check the vehicle production date: When picking up a new car, many people worry about receiving a stock vehicle, as prolonged storage can lead to aging of certain components and potential damage to wiring harnesses by rodents. However, the industry does not have strict regulations on stock vehicles. Therefore, when purchasing a new car, it is advisable to choose one with a production date within three months. Inspect the vehicle according to the PDI checklist: When picking up a new car, the 4S dealership will provide a PDI inspection checklist. It is essential to thoroughly inspect the vehicle based on this list. First, check the paint for any issues—it is recommended to use a smartphone flashlight to examine the entire paint surface. Verify the accompanying documents: The completeness of the vehicle's accompanying documents directly affects whether the car can be registered. When picking up the car, ensure you have the original vehicle certificate of conformity, the original vehicle consistency certificate, and other necessary items such as the vehicle's accompanying photos and the chassis number imprint.

Does the Transfer Case Oil Need to Be Replaced?

The transfer case oil needs to be replaced. The effects of not replacing it for a long time include: 1. Increased wear on the gears inside the transfer case; 2. Damage to the transfer case; 3. Reduced lubrication performance, with many metal particles present in the oil. The transfer case is a device that distributes the engine's power, directing it to the rear axle or simultaneously to both the front and rear axles. The working principle of the transfer case is: after the engine's power passes through the transmission, it is directly connected to the rear axle via the driveshaft. The transfer case then extends an additional output from the transmission and, through a silent chain, transfers the power to the front axle's output shaft. Its characteristics include: 1. Improving the vehicle's off-road capability; 2. High reliability; 3. Switching to two-wheel drive mode on smooth roads can reduce consumption.
