The appearance of a small wrench in a car is a maintenance indicator, designed to remind the driver to service the vehicle after it has been driven a certain mileage. If the vehicle is being maintained normally, you can manually eliminate the wrench symbol by inserting the key without turning it, holding the operation lever next to the odometer for 5 to 10 seconds, turning on the power, waiting another 5 to 10 seconds, and then starting the car. During this process, keep pressing the operation lever without letting go. It is recommended that car owners perform maintenance within the prescribed mileage range, which is usually set at 5000, 7500, or 10000 kilometers. There are many indicator or warning lights on a car's dashboard, such as the coolant level warning light, fuel level indicator, washer fluid level indicator, charging indicator, high/low beam indicator, transmission gear indicator, anti-lock braking system (ABS) indicator, traction control indicator, airbag warning light, etc.

What Are the Precautions for Turning a Car?

Here are four key precautions for turning a car: 1. Use turn signals: Always activate your turn signals when turning; otherwise, drivers behind you may misjudge your actions, leading to unnecessary accidents or injuries. 2. Avoid sudden steering: Reduce speed when turning and steer smoothly to prevent skidding caused by excessive centrifugal force. 3. Do not coast into turns: In neutral gear, the engine cannot regulate wheel speed, causing the car to move solely by inertia. This significantly reduces the effectiveness of braking and steering, increasing safety risks. 4. Take wide left turns: To avoid obstruction or collision, turn as far as possible toward the intended direction.

What materials are brake pads made of?

Brake pads are made from a variety of materials, and the manufacturing materials are not fixed. However, there are mainly four types of materials: 1. Resin-based brake materials; 2. Powder metallurgy brake materials; 3. Carbon/carbon composite brake materials; 4. Ceramic-based brake materials. Below is a partial introduction to brake pads: 1. Automotive brake pads are generally composed of a steel plate, an adhesive heat insulation layer, and a friction block. The steel plate is coated to prevent rust, and the coating process is monitored using an SMT-4 furnace temperature tracker to ensure the temperature distribution during coating, thereby guaranteeing quality. 2. Daily driving: Use the accelerator to control speed as much as possible to minimize the use of brakes, which can extend the lifespan of the brake pads.
