If the car is new or has just had new brake pads installed, the new brake pads and brake discs require a break-in period, during which such sounds may occur when braking, and this is a normal phenomenon. Below is relevant information about brake pads: 1. Both brake discs and brake pads are high-wear items. Every time you brake, these two components rub against each other, leading to natural wear over time. Typically, brake pads should be replaced every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers, while brake discs should be replaced every 100,000 to 120,000 kilometers. 2. If the brake shield is loose, improperly installed after removal, damaged due to impact, or if the brake pads are worn out, the limit tabs rubbing against the brake disc can also produce noise.

What does it mean when the engine warning light on the car dashboard comes on?

When the engine warning light on the car dashboard illuminates, it could be due to a damaged sensor in the engine or an actual engine malfunction. If this occurs, it's necessary to visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair. Professional diagnostic equipment can be used to read the fault codes, quickly identifying the faulty component and the cause of the issue. The car's engine is equipped with an ECU (Engine Control Unit), which acts as the brain of the engine. It collects data from various sensors and, after processing, controls the engine's operation through various actuators. If the actuators or sensors malfunction, the engine cannot operate properly. To minimize the likelihood of such issues, it's crucial to adhere to regular maintenance schedules and replace wear-prone parts on time during routine vehicle use.

What does 'auto' mean on car headlights?

Auto on car headlights refers to the automatic headlight function. Here is more information about it: 1. Automatic headlights, whose full name can be called 'automatic light-sensing headlights,' primarily rely on a key component, the ambient light sensor, to determine whether the lights need to be turned on. 2. When the brightness of the external environment falls below a certain threshold, it will automatically control the headlights to turn on; when the external brightness exceeds a certain level, the headlights will automatically turn off. 3. The advantage of automatic headlights is that they can automatically control the turning on and off of the lights. For example, when suddenly entering a tunnel during the day and forgetting to turn on the lights, the automatic headlights can be quite user-friendly. Or during dawn or dusk when the light is poor, the headlights will turn on by themselves to illuminate the road ahead, significantly improving safety.

How Often Should the Tires on a New Sail Be Replaced?

Sail's tires should be replaced every 60,000 kilometers or 3 years. The methods for tire replacement and maintenance are introduced as follows: Method for replacing tires: Park the vehicle in a safe location, turn on the hazard warning flashers, and engage the parking brake. Place a triangular warning sign at an appropriate distance behind the vehicle. Retrieve the spare tire along with the included wrench and jack. After removing the old tire, install the new one. Methods for tire maintenance: Regularly clean out stones stuck in the tire treads, minimize exposure to direct sunlight, promptly check tire pressure, pay attention to suspension maintenance, periodically inspect front wheel alignment, and adopt careful driving habits. Choose smooth road surfaces while driving, avoid objects that could puncture or scratch the tires, and steer clear of chemical spills that may corrode the tires.

Does Tire Sealant Damage Tires?

Automotive tire sealant can indeed cause damage to tires. After using sealant, the tire surface may suffer corrosion, and the formation of a colloidal protective film on the tire surface can interfere with grinding and adhesion during the tire repair process. Tires are circular elastic rubber products mounted on various vehicles or machinery that roll on the ground. The functions of tires are: 1. To prevent automotive components from experiencing severe vibrations and premature damage, adapting to the high-speed performance of vehicles while reducing driving noise; 2. To support the full weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, and transmit forces and moments in other directions; 3. To transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface to improve the vehicle's power, braking, and passability.

What is the function of a blow-off valve in a car?

The function of a blow-off valve in a car is: 1. To ensure the boost pressure remains near the specified value, preventing engine damage; 2. To control the pressure in the intake pipeline below the limit value; 3. To protect the turbocharger. The blow-off valve automatically opens and closes based on the system's working pressure and is installed on equipment or pipelines in a closed system to protect system safety. The working principle of a car blow-off valve is: 1. Intake blow-off valve: After the return of oil, it releases the pressurized air before the throttle; 2. Exhaust blow-off valve: Under continuous boost conditions, to prevent turbo overpressure and engine knocking, it releases a small amount of gas to maintain the turbo's pressure.
