Renault displaying a brake system fault can be caused by severely worn brake pads, issues with brake pad wear, or low brake fluid levels. Severely Worn Brake Pads: Brake pads come in two types—those with wear sensors and those without. Pads with wear sensors will automatically complete an electrical circuit when worn down to their limit, triggering a warning light. Pads without sensors won't alert automatically but will produce a metallic scraping sound to indicate replacement is needed. Brake Pad Wear Issues: Theoretically, the vehicle can still be driven for a few hundred kilometers, but it's not recommended. Worn brake pads lead to longer braking distances, softer pedal feel, increased noise, and potential damage to the brake discs. It's best for owners to develop a habit of regular brake pad replacement, adjusting the interval based on driving habits and road conditions. Low Brake Fluid Level: Brake fluid plays a crucial role in the vehicle's braking system. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the force is transmitted by the master cylinder piston through the brake fluid to the wheel cylinders, pressing the brake pads against the wheels to stop the vehicle. Insufficient brake fluid may result in noticeably reduced braking power and, in severe cases, complete brake failure. This issue can be resolved by promptly topping up the brake fluid.

What is the emission standard of the 9.5th generation Accord?

The 9.5th generation Accord complies with the China 5 emission standard. Here is some relevant information: 1. Compared to the China 4 standard, the China 5 standard is expected to reduce annual nitrogen oxide emissions by approximately 1,000 tons for newly added vehicles. 2. As of July 28, 2019, many regions across the country have already implemented the China 6 emission standard ahead of schedule. The reason why the national emission standards are frequently updated is that with the increase in car ownership, the environmental pollution caused by vehicle exhaust has become increasingly severe. According to national requirements, the China 6 standard is implemented in two phases: (1) Starting from July 1, 2020, all light-duty vehicles sold and registered must meet the "China 6a" limit requirements; (2) Starting from July 1, 2023, all light-duty vehicles sold and registered must meet the "China 6b" limit requirements.

How to Clean Brake Dust on Rims?

Brake dust on rims can be cleaned using professional wheel cleaners with a soft brush. Avoid using hard brushes or wire brushes to prevent scratching the rim surface. Clean one rim at a time to prevent the cleaner from solidifying on the rim surface. Here are detailed steps: 1. First, use a high-pressure wash to rinse off mud and dust from the tire, outer rim, and inside the fender. Wipe with a towel to remove loose dirt. 2. Evenly spray aluminum alloy rim cleaner on the rim surface, wait for 2-3 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft brush or sponge to avoid damaging the metal surface. Ensure no areas are missed between the rim blades and spokes. 3. When cleaning aluminum alloy rims, use a neutral cleaner as they have a protective coating. Avoid alkaline cleaners, corrosive solvents, fuel, or strong detergents, as they can damage the protective layer.

What are the reasons for the hard brake pedal on Chery Tiggo?

The reasons for the hard brake pedal on Chery Tiggo are as follows: Stepping on the brake after engine shutdown: The vehicle's braking system operates at its maximum efficiency only when the engine is running. When the engine is off, the brake booster pump ceases to function. Typically, after stepping on the brake pedal about three times, the remaining vacuum force is depleted, making the brake pedal feel very stiff. Brake booster pump air leakage or malfunction: If the brake pedal is hard to press without the engine being shut off, or if this issue is noticed while driving, it is likely due to a malfunction in the brake booster pump. Possible causes include a vacuum tube leak or blockage in the brake booster pump.
