The braking distance of a car is approximately 36-40 meters. Braking distance: It consists of two parts: reaction distance and braking distance. The speed in braking distance refers to the speed at which the vehicle is traveling when braking. The braking distance is proportional to the square of the speed in braking distance. Factors affecting braking distance: The actual braking distance is proportional to the driving speed of the car. The faster you drive, the longer the braking distance will be. Moreover, the influence of reaction time on the actual braking distance is far less significant than the influence of speed on the distance. For example, when the driving speed is between 50-110Km/h, the difference in reaction distance is only 15 meters, while the actual braking distance differs by 69 meters.

What are the causes of ABS failure?

ABS warning light may illuminate in various states, with different causes and solutions for each state, as detailed below: State 1: ABS warning light stays on continuously (most common). Cause 1: The ABS wheel speed sensor's sensing area is covered by dirt, mud, or other contaminants, affecting its ability to detect the corresponding speed signal. This prevents the ABS control unit from determining the vehicle speed and calculating the wheel slip ratio, thus failing to issue appropriate commands to regulate braking. Solution: Clean the dirt from the wheel speed sensor and adjust the gap between the sensor and the tone ring to restore normal function. Cause 2: Poor signal transmission due to loose connections between system wiring or poor contact in ABS relays, leading to system failure. Solution: Inspect wiring connections and reconnect any loose parts. State 2: ABS warning light illuminates intermittently, turning off during acceleration. Cause: When multiple vehicle electrical devices are in use, battery voltage drops below 10.5V. As engine speed increases, voltage rises, and the ABS indicator turns off. This may also occur if the ABS system power supply voltage is too low, such as due to poor terminal contact or grounding issues. Solution: Check battery specific gravity; inspect the charging system; examine the power supply (e.g., voltage relays or poor power contacts). State 3: ABS warning light remains on after engine start until engine IGFF turns it off. Cause: Poor grounding contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body; poor electrical connector contact in the ABS hydraulic valve body; ABS control unit failure. Solution: Loosen and retighten the hydraulic valve body ground screw, cleaning the contact surface if necessary; check for enlarged connector gaps; replace the ABS or ABS/ASR control unit. State 4: ABS warning light illuminates during high-speed driving. Cause: During high-speed driving, the ABS control unit detects a significant discrepancy between rear and front wheel speed signals; incorrect tire or wheel rim specifications. Solution: Refer to the vehicle's tire and wheel rim specifications, as indicated on the fuel tank cap label. State 5: ABS warning light illuminates intermittently. Cause: Improper adjustment of the brake light switch; poor internal contact in the brake light. Solution: With the engine running, depress the brake pedal, manually push the brake switch linkage down fully, then release the brake pedal to complete self-positioning; replace the brake light switch if necessary. If the ABS warning light is on, it is advisable not to continue driving. An illuminated ABS light indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's anti-lock braking system. During emergency braking, if the wheels lock up, the vehicle may skid uncontrollably, preventing the driver from decelerating or adjusting the vehicle's trajectory, posing significant safety risks.

How often should the differential oil be changed for the Q5?

The differential oil for the Q5 should be changed every 3 years or 60,000 kilometers. Replacing the differential oil helps prevent excessive wear of the vehicle's differential gears, which could lead to differential damage. Without sufficient lubrication and cooling, the differential can cause difficulties during vehicle operation. The functions of differential oil include: Protection: Differential oil is specifically developed to lubricate the rear differential of rear-wheel-drive vehicles, effectively providing protection. During high-load continuous driving, the temperature of the gear oil in the transmission and differential can sometimes exceed 120°C. Under such high temperatures, the lubricating performance of the differential oil decreases, leading to deterioration of the gear oil. Excellent Thermal Stability: Increased friction among the gears in the differential structure can raise the vehicle's fuel consumption and, over time, damage components like the differential and differential lock. Besides lubrication, anti-wear, and cooling functions, differential oil also offers better thermal stability compared to engine oil.

Cylinder Bank 1 System Too Lean at Idle

The causes of a lean air-fuel mixture at idle include clogged fuel injectors, excessive air intake/exhaust pipe leaks, and aging or cracked crankcase ventilation valve diaphragms. Additional information is provided below: Key inspection points for lean mixture conditions: Fuel injector spray pattern; Check the electronic control system; Verify if the engine's intake pressure sensor is faulty; Inspect for intake manifold leaks. Effects of poor fuel injection timing and atomization: Engine performance degradation during idle, acceleration or full-load conditions, resulting in reduced power output; Increased fuel consumption; Higher emission levels; In severe cases, may cause complete engine failure.
