The reasons for the humming sound when the XC60 is driving at low speed are: 1. Damaged wheel bearing: This phenomenon occurs when a wheel bearing of the vehicle is damaged. Long-distance driving places high demands on the wheel bearings. Bearings that are of poor quality or have been used for a long time may fatigue and become damaged under prolonged high-speed operation, resulting in abnormal noise. 2. Inaccurate four-wheel alignment: A rhythmic humming noise occurs at low speeds, and the noise weakens at high speeds. The cause of the fault: The vehicle's four-wheel alignment is inaccurate. Long-distance driving causes significant wear on the tires, leading to uneven tire wear and abnormal noise.

What does it mean when the engine automatically shuts off after stepping on the brake at a red light?

When the engine automatically shuts off after stepping on the brake at a red light, it is the engine auto start-stop function, not a malfunction. The engine auto start-stop function automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (such as at a red light) during driving and automatically restarts the engine when it's time to move forward again. This system is suitable for stop-and-go urban driving conditions and can achieve up to 15% fuel savings in city driving. Precautions for the engine auto start-stop function include: 1. It will not activate when the engine temperature is insufficient, avoiding frequent engine starts when the engine is cold to prevent damage; 2. It will not activate when the battery voltage is not fully sufficient, ensuring a smooth restart without affecting the engine due to insufficient voltage.

The automotive brake system refers to a series of specialized devices that apply a certain force to specific parts of the vehicle (primarily the wheels) to enforce a certain degree of braking. The functions of the brake system are: to forcibly decelerate or even stop a moving vehicle as required by the driver; to ensure a stationary vehicle remains stable under various road conditions (including on slopes); and to maintain a stable speed for a vehicle moving downhill.
