Connect the vehicle to the onboard computer and select the "Open Rear Wheel Brake Caliper" option in the settings interface. Loosen the two screws of the brake caliper. If the caliper does not separate completely, use a flathead screwdriver to manually pry it open slightly. Open the brake caliper cover and install the new brake pads. The side with text markings should face outward, and the side without text should face inward. After installing the new brake pads, use the computer to set [Close Rear Wheel Brake Caliper]. The brake motor will reset in about 5 seconds.

I've changed the rear brake pads on my Mazda CX-5 myself and found it quite interesting. First, find a safe spot, jack up the rear wheel, and use wheel chocks to prevent rolling. After removing the tire, you can directly see the brake caliper. Unscrew the two bolts on the caliper and carefully remove it to expose the old brake pads. If the old pads are severely worn, gently compress the caliper piston with a C-clamp so the new pads can fit in. Before installing the new brake pads, I always remember to clean the dust from the caliper guide slots and apply some anti-rust lubricant to prevent noise. After reassembling the caliper, reinstall the tire. Once on the ground, test the brakes a few times at low speed to ensure the pedal responds normally. The whole process takes about half an hour, using just a wrench set, saving money while learning something. Don't take brakes lightly—if unsure about the steps, it's best to refer to the vehicle manual or get help from a professional.

Go to the store for crystal coating or do it yourself?

Go to the store for crystal coating. Car crystal coating provides a reliable paint sealing technology for the car paint, offering efficient and long-lasting protection to prevent environmental impacts on the paint color. Functions of crystal coating: Crystal coating is a hard protective layer specifically designed for key areas of a car, including the paint surface, glass, tires, rims, seats, engine, interior, and exterior trim. It primarily serves to protect the paint from stains and scratches. Basic requirements for crystal coating: The fundamental requirement for crystal coating is that the material used must be SIO2 inorganic, capable of forming several structures on the applied surface. Typically at the molecular nano-level, it forms an isolation layer on the surface through the action of high-molecular polymers. This isolation layer has functions such as UV resistance, oil resistance, low surface energy, and hydrophobicity, thereby protecting the paint surface.

When Can a New Car Go on the Highway?

What is the difference between body insurance and vehicle damage insurance?

The differences between body insurance and vehicle damage insurance are as follows: 1. Nature: Body insurance is a mandatory national insurance, while vehicle damage insurance is one of the commercial insurances. 2. Coverage: Body insurance only compensates third parties, while vehicle damage insurance is responsible for compensating the loss of the vehicle itself. 3. Premium: The coverage of body insurance is relatively fixed (it may fluctuate based on whether the owner has a traffic violation record), while the premium of vehicle damage insurance is related to the purchase price of the vehicle. 4. Scope of insurance liability: Body insurance refers to the compensation provided by the insurer according to the insurance contract when the insured vehicle suffers losses due to natural disasters or accidents within the scope of insurance liability; vehicle damage insurance refers to the compensation provided by the insurance company according to the insurance contract when the insured or the vehicle driver causes damage to the vehicle in an accident during driving.

What Causes the Squeaky Electric Current Sound from the Steering Wheel?

Steering wheel electric current squeaky sound is caused by a faulty indoor temperature sensor. Steering wheel issues: If the abnormal sound comes from inside the steering wheel, the problem is most likely due to the airbag clock spring inside the steering wheel. Remove the steering wheel airbag clock spring and apply some grease to see if the noise persists. If it still squeaks, replace the airbag clock spring. Be gentle when removing the steering wheel, or disconnect the airbag fuse to prevent the airbag from deploying. Stabilizer bar issues: If the sound is not coming from the shock absorber, check whether the stabilizer bar bushings are loose or damaged. Loose or damaged stabilizer bar bushings will not only cause noise when turning the steering wheel but also produce sounds when driving on uneven roads. Loose stabilizer bar bushings can be fixed by adding shims, but if they are damaged, they must be replaced.

How much urea should be added at one time?

Urea should be added 5L at one time. Introduction to automotive urea: Automotive urea refers to a urea aqueous solution with a urea concentration of 32.5% and the solvent being ultra-pure water. The raw materials are special automotive urea and ultra-pure water. Function of automotive urea: Automotive urea is an essential product for heavy-duty diesel vehicles to meet the National IV emission standards. It mainly plays a role in purifying exhaust gases in vehicles, reacting with nitrogen oxides in the exhaust to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions. The primary function of automotive urea is to convert nitrogen oxides (NOx) generated by diesel engines into non-toxic nitrogen gas (N2), reducing the NOx content in the exhaust to comply with national emission standards.
