BMW brake pads are approximately 1.5mm thick. Raised indicator: Each brake pad has raised indicators on both sides, with a thickness of about 2-3mm, which represents the minimum replacement limit for brake discs. If the brake pad thickness has worn down to be level with these indicators, replacement is mandatory. Therefore, when the brake pad thickness approaches these indicators, vehicle owners should monitor them closely and be prepared for replacement. However, it's difficult to accurately observe this without removing the tires. Many vehicle models now provide a warning light on the dashboard when the brake pads become too thin, making self-inspection more convenient. Suggestion: There is no strict replacement interval for brake pads as it depends on driving conditions and habits. Generally, replacement should be considered after about 60,000 kilometers. When visual inspection shows that the brake pads are thin, it's advisable to have a technician check them during maintenance, as visual inspection can be inaccurate. Professional repair stations use calipers for more precise measurements than visual inspection.

What is the principle of the Accord Hybrid?

The principle of the Accord Hybrid is to combine the power output of a gasoline engine with an electric motor, using the engine to charge the battery. The power generated by the car's electric motor and engine continuously switches and transforms. The Accord Hybrid system has three driving modes: pure electric, hybrid, and internal combustion engine drive. Electric Mode: In this mode, the motor obtains energy from the lithium-ion battery pack and drives the vehicle alone, with a top speed of 60 mph. The maximum driving range is not high, and once the battery energy is depleted, it automatically switches to hybrid mode. Hybrid Mode: The working principle of the Accord Hybrid is similar to that of the Chevrolet Volt. A 2.0-liter gasoline engine drives a generator to produce electricity, which is then used by the electric motor. Honda refers to the combination of the generator and motor as a dual-motor system. In this mode, the vehicle is driven solely by the electric motor. Internal Combustion Engine Drive Mode: In this mode, the electric motor is decoupled from the drivetrain, and an Atkinson-cycle gasoline engine directly drives the wheels through a single-speed transmission. According to Honda, this single-speed transmission is as efficient as a 6-speed manual transmission under highway conditions.

Will Applying a Color Change Film Affect the Car Paint?

Applying a color change film will not affect the car paint. Here are some precautions for applying a color change film: 1. In the initial period after completion, the adhesion of the car color change film is relatively low, so avoid touching it, especially the edges; 2. Avoid sticking items with adhesives to the surface of the film; 3. Avoid using cleaning tools that may damage the surface of the car color change film; 4. Use a soft, damp cloth with clean water to wipe the surface of the film. If a cleaning agent is needed, use a neutral one. Methods for car paint maintenance include: 1. Regular car washing; 2. Waxing to prevent oxidation, isolate static electricity, and enhance the brightness of the car paint surface, isolating the paint from dust and harmful gases; 3. Applying a crystal coating, which involves applying a high-molecular film with hardness and smoothness to the car surface, solidifying it to protect the car paint; 4.
