Geely Emgrand GS abnormal noise when braking and starting reasons are as follows: Running-in of new cars: The running-in of brake pads is a very important part. Usually, you can feel that the brakes are more comfortable after running hundreds of kilometers. Newly replaced brake pads also need to be run-in to better fit with the old disc. When they are just replaced, the brakes will feel very hard, and it usually takes hundreds of kilometers of driving to feel better. Foreign objects on the brake disc: While driving, very small sand particles may get between the pad and the disc, sometimes causing abnormal noise due to friction. This situation generally does not require repair. Just drive for a while to let the small sand particles fall out.

I've driven quite a few cars before, and brake squeaking during startup is quite common. It's especially noticeable in models like the Geely Emgrand GS, whether it's a new car or one with more mileage. There are various reasons, such as uneven wear on the brake pads, which causes a squeaking sound due to friction when starting; or dust and rust buildup on the brake discs, which becomes more pronounced when starting the vehicle in damp or cold conditions. I remember once dealing with a similar issue—simply sanding the edges of the brake pads with sandpaper reduced the noise. If the sound persists, it's advisable to check the lubrication of the brake system to prevent issues like calipers not retracting or blocked brake lines. The startup squeaking could also stem from interference in the suspension system, but in most cases, it's not serious. Regular maintenance, like washing the car periodically to keep it clean, can prevent the issue from worsening and affecting driving safety. Don't rush into major repairs—start with simple checks first.

What Type of Vehicle is a Tow Truck?

Rescue tow trucks are classified as special-purpose operation vehicles. Roadside assistance tow trucks for vehicles are divided into blue license plates and yellow license plates. Blue license plates can be driven with a C-class driver's license, while yellow license plates require a B-class driver's license. Relevant introductions are as follows: 1. Wrecker: A tow truck is a vehicle used to tow cars, composed of a chassis, lifting device, towing and traction device, hydraulic system, electronic control system, body, and toolbox, etc. It has multiple functions such as lifting, pulling, and towing traction, suitable for highway and urban road clearance operations. 2. Heavy-duty steel flatbed tow truck: In addition to wreckers, tow trucks also include heavy-duty steel flatbed tow trucks used for large-tonnage industrial cargo transportation, and trailers and towed vehicles that can be driven on highways. There is also another type of tow truck used in seaport docks for transporting containerized goods, which is a commonly used tool in ports for transferring and towing operations.

What are the characteristics of wool cone speakers?

They perform well with soft music, offering rich and natural vocal tones. Common materials used for woofer units in bass speakers include paper cones, ceramic cones, and wool cones. Below are detailed descriptions: 1. Paper cone: Combines rigidity and flexibility, has high internal damping, and is easy to mix with other materials. It delivers natural and solid sound with full bass. The downside is poor moisture resistance and difficulty in controlling consistency during manufacturing. Due to their low cost, paper cones are widely used in multimedia speakers priced below 300 yuan. 2. Ceramic cone: Delivers delicate performance for vocals and classical music, with excellent transient response in mid-low frequencies, rich and powerful sound, good dynamic performance, outstanding bass, and accurate positioning. Ideal for conveying the emotional impact and power of epic movie soundtracks. 3. Wool fiber cone: The speaker cone is infused with wool fibers in the pulp, making it slightly softer. It excels in reproducing soft music, with warm and natural vocals. The drawback is poor bass performance, making it less ideal for rock music and marches. For those who enjoy melodious music without emphasizing bass effects, using it for symphonies will create an immersive experience.

How to Turn the Steering Wheel When Using the Rearview Camera?

Here are the methods for turning the steering wheel while using the rearview camera: 1. Clearly observe the situation behind the car, identify the route, and estimate the distance. 2. To move the rear of the car to the left, turn the steering wheel to the left; to move it to the right, turn the steering wheel to the right. Ensure the front of the car won't hit any obstacles, and try to avoid pressing the accelerator while reversing, strictly controlling the speed. Here is some relevant information: 1. It's essentially the same principle as turning while driving forward. Additionally, it's important not to focus solely on the rear while reversing. After confirming the safety behind, intermittently check the rearview mirrors to monitor the distance from obstacles behind and on both sides, and use the steering wheel to adjust the car's position. 2. When correcting the car's position, if the rear is leaning to one side, steer in the opposite direction to correct it. For example, if the car is leaning left, move right to correct it by turning the steering wheel to the right.

Are there electronic captures in tunnels?

Tunnels are equipped with electronic captures. The speed limit in highway tunnels is 60 to 80 kilometers per hour. Changing lanes or overtaking is prohibited while driving in tunnels due to the limited space and poor lighting conditions, which can easily affect the normal driving of other vehicles. Moreover, tunnels are now equipped with comprehensive camera capture systems, and illegal lane changes will result in a 3-point deduction and a fine. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Speed limit signs: When drivers see that they are about to enter a tunnel, they should observe the speed limit signs on both sides of the road in advance. If using navigation, it usually provides an early warning about the speed limit in the upcoming tunnel, prompting drivers to slow down and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. 2. Turning on headlights: Before entering a tunnel, drivers must turn on their headlights and keep them on until the vehicle has completely exited the tunnel. This is because the sudden dimming of light upon entering the tunnel can cause a temporary 'blindness' effect, making it difficult to adapt to the suddenly darkened environment. Therefore, headlights should be turned on before entering the tunnel to reduce visual conflicts.

Why Can't the Baojun Key Start the Engine When It Can Unlock the Car?

Reasons why the Baojun key can unlock the car but cannot start the engine: the vehicle's anti-theft chip is malfunctioning; the transmitter on the vehicle key is damaged; or the receiver on the vehicle is damaged. You can first try using the spare key to start the vehicle. When approaching the car: When the driver brings the key in their pocket close to the car, the key and the car begin to exchange preset command information via radio. Subsequently, the car's locking system, security system, and engine control system are all activated. When opening the car door: As soon as the driver touches the door handle, the sensor detects this pressure, and the servo motor will unlock the door. Then, the seat, steering wheel, and exterior rearview mirror will automatically adjust to the position suitable for the owner. Before starting: When the driver steps on the brake pedal, the steering wheel lock will be released immediately. At the same time, the start button will also be released, and finally, the main brake will automatically disengage.

What is the difference between 0w30 and 0w40?

These two types of engine oil have different viscosities, with 0w40 oil being more viscous. Here are the relevant details: 1. The 'w' in the oil model stands for 'winter,' indicating that the oil can be used normally in winter. The number before 'w' represents the oil's low-temperature fluidity. 0w means the oil can flow normally at -35 degrees Celsius, while 5w means it can flow normally at -30 degrees Celsius. The number after 'w' indicates the oil's high-temperature viscosity—the larger the number, the higher the viscosity. 2. Choosing the right viscosity of oil is crucial for the engine. If the viscosity is too low, it can increase engine wear. If the viscosity is too high, it can increase engine running resistance, leading to reduced power and higher fuel consumption. 3. Generally, naturally aspirated engines require 30-viscosity oil, turbocharged engines require 40-viscosity oil, and high-performance, large-displacement, multi-cylinder engines require 50-viscosity or 60-viscosity oil.
