Brake squeaking when slowly releasing the brakes can be caused by the following reasons: 1. Friction between the brake pads and the disc or drum; presence of foreign objects between the brake drum or disc and the pads; poor quality of the brake pads, such as high metal content, inferior quality, or excessive foreign matter. 2. Irregularities or abnormalities in the flatness or curvature of the brake disc or drum due to prolonged use, leading to abnormal contact friction with the pads; malfunction of the brake caliper. 3. When the brake pedal is slowly released, and the power and braking force are at a critical point, friction between the brake pads and the disc may produce noise. However, if the brake pedal is released quickly, no sound occurs, which is a normal phenomenon.

Why Can't Geely Use Volvo's Technology After Acquiring It?

There are several reasons why Geely cannot use Volvo's technology after acquiring it: Geely has its own pride: As a well-known domestic automotive brand in China, if Geely were to directly use Volvo's engines, it would undoubtedly elevate Geely's status. However, since the technology is not independently developed by Geely, directly adopting it would face significant resistance and could even negatively impact the sales of Geely's vehicles. Volvo retains its brand technology: Although Volvo has been acquired by Geely, Geely only purchased Volvo's equity. Geely does not have the rights to use Volvo's automotive manufacturing technology, including its engines, as doing so would constitute infringement.

What Causes Slight Shaking When the Air Conditioner is Turned On in a BMW 5 Series?

BMW 5 Series experiences slight shaking when the air conditioner is turned on due to the following reasons: Dirty Throttle Body: This affects the engine. If the air conditioner is turned on at this time, it will increase the engine idle load, resulting in steering wheel vibration. Throttle Body Carbon Buildup: If the throttle body is not maintained for a long time, carbon buildup can easily occur. Carbon buildup obstructs the engine's air intake, causing the engine to struggle or barely power the compressor, leading to idle shaking. The solution is to clean the throttle body. If the driving environment is harsh, it is best to clean it regularly, recommended every 10,000 kilometers.
