The standard valve clearance for the Cruze is: intake valve clearance can be adjusted to 0.20MM, and exhaust valve clearance can be adjusted to 0.25MM. Below is additional information about the Cruze's valve clearance: Methods for adjusting the clearance: 1. Cylinder-by-cylinder adjustment method: Based on the cylinder firing order, determine when a cylinder's piston is at the top dead center of compression, then adjust the intake and exhaust valve clearances for that cylinder. After adjustment, rotate the crankshaft and proceed to adjust the valve clearances for the other cylinders step by step using this method. 2. Two-step adjustment method: Rotate the crankshaft until the first cylinder's piston is at the top dead center of compression, aligning the flywheel mark with the inspection hole line. Introduction to the Cruze: The Cruze is a next-generation model developed by General Motors with the goal of creating a benchmark in design and performance for compact cars, integrating global resources. It uses "330T" and "320" to distinguish between models equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine and a 1.5L engine, respectively.

How to Use the Auto Hold Function?

The usage method of the auto hold function is: 1. After enabling the auto hold function, there is no need to pull the handbrake when waiting at traffic lights; 2. After coming to a complete stop, there is no need to switch back and forth between D gear and N gear, or D gear and P gear; 3. In D gear or N gear, there is no need to keep the foot on the brake pedal, as the vehicle will remain stationary; 4. When the vehicle starts moving again, the system determines that the vehicle is about to start based on the throttle action and engine traction, and the braking force is automatically released. The gears of an automatic transmission are: 1. P is the parking gear. After the vehicle stops, engaging P gear will prevent the vehicle from moving; 2. R is the reverse gear, which can only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary; 3. N is the neutral gear, used for temporary stops such as waiting at traffic lights, and the handbrake should be pulled up at the same time; 4. S is the sport gear, suitable for overtaking; 5. D is the drive gear; 6. L is the low gear, used when the vehicle is going downhill.

Is Using Brake Caliper Covers an Unsafe Practice?

Using brake caliper covers is an unsafe practice, as it can lead to overheating of the braking system and cause thermal fade. Reasons for being unsafe: Brake caliper covers installed on calipers may fracture, which can compromise driving safety. During braking, a vehicle generates significant heat, causing the temperature of the brake calipers to rise. Installing caliper covers can impede heat dissipation from the brake calipers, leading to overheating of the braking system and thermal fade. Therefore, it is advised not to install caliper covers on brake calipers. Typically, only small manufacturers produce caliper covers, and their quality cannot be guaranteed, posing a risk to the driver's safety once installed. Precautions: To enhance braking performance, consider upgrading to higher-performance brake pads, brake discs, or brake calipers, but avoid using caliper covers. If braking power is weak, first check the moisture content in the brake fluid. Excessive moisture in the brake fluid can reduce braking efficiency. Brake fluid is highly prone to absorbing water, and when its moisture content reaches 3%, it should be replaced immediately. If braking performance does not improve after replacing the brake fluid, it is recommended to upgrade to higher-performance brake pads.
