Brake squeaking is a normal activation of the ABS system or due to rust on the brake pads or discs. Below is an introduction to automotive braking systems: 1. Braking Overview: Braking, also known as deceleration, refers to the action of stopping or reducing the speed of moving vehicles, machinery, or other transportation tools. The general principle involves fixing a wheel or disc on the high-speed shaft of the machine and installing corresponding brake shoes, bands, or discs on the frame to generate braking torque under external force. The braking device, also known as a decelerator, is a mechanical braking system designed to slow down the vehicle. 2. Brake Classification: Drum brakes (advantages and disadvantages), disc brakes, etc.

What is the maximum size of wheel rims that can be modified for the Geely Emgrand?

The wheel rims of the Geely Emgrand can be modified to a maximum of two inches larger than the original factory size. The wheel rim is the rotating part of the wheel steel connected by columns inside the tire, which is the metal component that supports the tire and is mounted on the axle. Wheel rims are prone to accumulating dirt, and if not cleaned for a long time, they may corrode and deform, leading to potential safety hazards. The steps for repairing wheel rims are as follows: 1. Inspect the damage. If there is no damage on the inner side of the wheel rim, use paint thinner to wipe around the damaged area on the outer side to remove dirt; 2. The deepest part of the scratch is difficult to clean, so use a toothpick to thoroughly clean it; 3. To avoid accidentally painting areas unrelated to the damage, carefully apply masking tape around the damaged area; 4. Trim the tip of a brush and apply touch-up paint. Since the paint will shrink slightly when dry, it's best to apply it slightly raised; 5. After painting, allow it to dry completely, which may take about a week. Once dry, use waterproof paper soaked in soapy water to smooth the surface; 6. After wiping with waterproof paper, use a polishing compound to restore shine, and then apply wax.

Locate the kick starter lever above the rear wheel stand and place your foot on it. 4. Apply your body weight in one forceful motion to press down the kick starter. 5. While pressing the kick starter, grip the throttle with your right hand to provide fuel. 6. Repeat the process continuously until the engine starts and the rear wheel begins to turn, completing the battery-free startup.

Will I be penalized if I stop in the middle of the road after running half a red light?

Stopping in the middle of the road after running half a red light will result in penalties. Although it will not be considered as running a red light, it will obstruct the normal traffic flow from other directions, which constitutes traffic obstruction and will incur a fine of 200 yuan and a deduction of 3 points. If the vehicle has just crossed the stop line at a red light but stops immediately, it will not be penalized for this red light interruption. However, if there is obvious movement after crossing the line, penalties will apply. The electronic eye captures three photos for a red light violation: the vehicle crossing the stop line, followed by two more photos showing the vehicle moving to the middle of the intersection and reaching the opposite side. Only after obtaining these three photos will it be considered as running a red light. According to the new regulations, this will result in a deduction of 6 points and a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan.

Why is there noise from the newly replaced brake pads?

There is a break-in period required between the brake pads and brake discs, which usually takes about 500 kilometers to complete. The brake discs may have been worn unevenly by the old brake pads, while the new brake pads have a smooth surface. Therefore, when first installed, the contact area is small and requires break-in. It is normal to hear noise before the break-in is complete. The details are as follows: 1. The causes of abnormal noise from car brake pads include: excessively hard brake pads, excessive wear of the brake pads, excessive wear of the brake discs or drums, rusted brake calipers, slow return of the master cylinder, etc. 2. If the brake pads are new, check if there are any foreign objects caught between the brake disc and pads. If the noise is a dull sound, it is likely an issue with the brake caliper, such as a fallen spring clip. If the noise is a squealing sound, there could be multiple issues, including problems with the caliper, brake disc, or brake pads.

What is the best position to adjust the car rearview mirrors?

The left rearview mirror of the car should be adjusted to a position where the front and rear door handles and the wheel arches of the rear wheels are visible; the right rearview mirror should be adjusted to the same position. The interior rearview mirror should be kept in the center of the rear window to ensure driving safety. Car rearview mirrors are located on both sides of the car's front and inside the car, reflecting the situation behind, beside, and below the vehicle, allowing the driver to indirectly see these areas. They serve as the "second pair of eyes," expanding the driver's field of vision. Car rearview mirrors are important safety components, with careful consideration given to their mirrors, shapes, and operation. The quality and installation of rearview mirrors are subject to corresponding industry standards and should not be adjusted arbitrarily.

What Causes the Noise When Releasing the Accelerator but Not When Pressing It?

Specific reasons for the noise when releasing the accelerator but not when pressing it: 1. The engine components are not sufficiently lubricated by the oil, and it takes some time for the engine parts to be evenly lubricated. 2. Severe wear of engine components requires internal cleaning of the engine to reduce the wear gaps. 3. Large gaps and poor sealing can worsen the engine condition, possibly leading to noise; it is recommended to check at a repair shop. 4. It may be caused by excessive carbon buildup in the engine, which can be cleaned at a repair shop. 5. It could also be due to poor filtration, most commonly caused by a dirty air filter, which can be cleaned or replaced at a repair shop. 6. If the gasoline used is not pure enough, it can also cause this phenomenon, as impure gasoline tends to form carbon deposits inside the engine.
