What Causes the Noise When Braking?

Here are the specific reasons for abnormal noises when braking: 1. Variations in the hardness of the brake disc during manufacturing, leading to wear. 2. If the noise comes from the brake pedal area inside the cabin, it is due to the nylon bushing on the brake pedal mounting bracket wearing out, causing friction between the brake pedal fixing pin and the bracket, which produces the noise. 3. Severe wear of the disc and pads, resulting in direct contact between metal parts. In this case, the disc and pads should be replaced immediately. If the dashboard does not show a warning, also check if the sensor connected to the brake warning light is faulty. 4. Noise occurring right after installing new pads is caused by a mismatch in size between the new pads and the friction block.

What is the Difference Between the Green License Plates 'D' and 'F' for New Energy Electric Vehicles?

To better distinguish and identify new energy vehicles and implement differentiated traffic management, relevant departments in China have formulated and introduced special license plates for new energy vehicles, commonly known as green plates, symbolizing green, environmentally friendly, and technological concepts. Vehicles with the letter 'D' on their plates represent pure electric vehicles, which require full charging to operate. On the other hand, vehicles marked with the letter 'F' are hybrid models that can be either charged or powered by gasoline. This design aims to prevent inconvenience for drivers when their vehicles run out of electricity. Hybrid vehicles are generally unaffected by battery depletion and offer stronger cruising capabilities.

Which is better, AT or DCT transmission?

From the perspective of durability, DCT transmissions are more durable than AT transmissions. Here is the relevant information: 1. DCT: Due to having two clutches, DCT transmissions offer smoother gear shifts, almost achieving seamless shifting. The high-speed driving experience is similar to that of a CVT continuously variable transmission. 2. AT: Because of the torque converter, AT transmissions provide a gentler start compared to DCT, but this reduces the sense of 'directness' during acceleration. The complex structure is also a common issue with AT transmissions. Due to their complexity, manufacturing and maintenance costs tend to be higher.

Is National 5 or National 6 Better for Cars?

National 6 standards are superior. Here are the relevant details: 1. Difference: The emission standards for National 6 are over 30% stricter than those for National 5. Excluding the influence of operating conditions and testing, gasoline vehicles' carbon monoxide emissions are reduced by 50%, total hydrocarbons and non-methane total hydrocarbons emissions decrease by 50%, and nitrogen oxide emissions also drop by 42%. 2. National 5: The National Fifth Stage Motor Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standard, abbreviated as 'National 5 Standard,' has an emission control level equivalent to the European Union's currently implemented Stage 5 emission standard.

Should You Fully Depress the Clutch When Turning a Car?

Driving through a turn requires judgment based on the situation. In congested areas where you're using first or second gear, you can depress the clutch and rely on the car's idle speed to make the turn. Here are some precautions for turning a car: 1. Precautions one: Control your speed according to the size of the curve, slowing down as much as possible to avoid skidding or losing control. 2. Precautions two: When turning, adjust the steering wheel to match the road's curvature and your car's speed, ensuring appropriate steering angle and timing. Return the steering wheel promptly and never take both hands off it to prevent dangerous deviations.

Is Horsepower More Important or Torque?

Both horsepower and torque are equally important metrics. Horsepower is a unit of power, commonly used to measure automotive power, such as a car with 130 horsepower. Torque refers to the rotational force output from the crankshaft of an engine, which is inversely proportional to engine speed at a fixed power level—the faster the speed, the lower the torque. Additional relevant details are as follows: 1. Power: Both torque and power are key indicators of an engine. 2. Torque: Vehicles are equipped with torque amplification devices, such as transmissions and differentials, which magnify the relatively small torque output by the engine to ultimately rotate the wheels and propel the vehicle forward.

What is the name of Toyota's new MPV?

Toyota's new MPV model is named 'Sienna' in Chinese, serving as the domestic version of the overseas Toyota SIENNA. It shares the same pronunciation but different characters, enhancing brand 'recognition'. In terms of exterior design, the GAC Toyota Sienna SIENNA boasts a bold and powerful overall appearance, yet it remains fundamentally a family-oriented 'dad MPV'. The vehicle maintains the same dimensions as the overseas version, with a length of 5172 mm (3 mm shorter than the overseas version), a width of 1993 mm (2 mm shorter), and a height of 1738 mm (37 mm shorter). The wheelbase is 3060 mm, identical to the overseas model.
