Brake disc wear is generally determined by a 5-year period or a wear limit of 1.6mm. Below are the relevant details: Brake Pads/Brake Discs: High-end vehicles usually have an alert system to indicate when brake pads need replacement. If this feature is not available, it is recommended to have the maintenance technician check them during each service. The general wear limit for brake pads is 2mm (same for front and rear brake pads). It is advisable to replace them when they wear down to approximately 2mm remaining, as failing to do so may result in longer braking distances and, in severe cases, inability to stop the vehicle. Engine Peripheral Belts: Most vehicles are equipped with peripheral belts. Regardless of the number of belts, they should be replaced every 60,000 kilometers or 4 years. When replacing the belts, the belt guide wheels and tensioners should also be replaced simultaneously. Otherwise, belt breakage or guide wheel jamming during driving may cause the wheels to malfunction.

Is Car Brake Maintenance Necessary?

Car brake maintenance is necessary. Whether a car is driving at high or low speeds, the proper functioning of the brake system has a significant impact on the safety of the driver, passengers, other vehicles on the road, and pedestrians. The function of brakes is to reduce speed or bring the vehicle to a stop. The working principle involves converting the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into heat energy through friction between the brake pads and brake drums, as well as between the tires and the ground, thereby slowing down or stopping the car. Causes of brake failure include: 1. Impurities in the master cylinder or poor sealing; 2. Failure of the vacuum booster pump; 3. Dirty brake fluid; 4. Leakage in the master cylinder or wheel cylinder; 5. Air leakage from the air reservoir or pipeline connections; 6. Severe overloading; 7. Carbonization of the brake drum; 8. Insufficient brake fluid in the master cylinder; 9. Wear of the master cylinder piston.

What are the steps to clean a car air conditioner?

The steps to clean a car air conditioner are: 1. Use a blower to clean the air filter from the inside out; 2. Shake the air conditioner cleaner well and spray it towards the position of the air filter; 3. Remove the air conditioner for cleaning. The functions of a car air conditioner are: 1. Achieve a cooling effect by continuously circulating refrigerant; 2. Remove dust, odors, smoke, and toxic gases from the air inside the car to freshen the air and humidify the cabin air. The maintenance methods for car air conditioners are: 1. Do not set the temperature too low; 2. Control the direction of the air outlet; 3. Do not use it for too long; 4. Appropriately turn on high airflow; 5. Turn off the air conditioner when driving at low speeds.

What is the wading depth of the Nissan X-Trail?

Nissan X-Trail has a wading depth of 0.3 to 0.4 meters. Here are the relevant details: 1. Lower intake pipe inlet: Due to the lower position of the engine intake pipe inlet, water can be sucked into the engine when the vehicle is wading. 2. Exhaust outlet below the waterline: Since the exhaust pipe outlet is below the waterline, water can be sucked into the engine from the exhaust outlet. For SUVs with higher ground clearance, when this value exceeds 30 centimeters, there is a risk of water entering the engine. 3. Precautions: Since the water entering the cylinders lacks lubrication, blindly restarting the engine after stalling may cause severe engine damage due to cylinder scuffing.

How to Solve Overheating Caused by a Non-Pressure-Relieving Radiator Cap?

Park safely immediately find a safe place to park, but do not turn off the engine immediately. Keep the engine idling to continue dissipating heat while opening the hood to enhance heat dissipation. Check for leaks after some time, inspect under the car for any coolant leaks. If there is a leak, immediate repairs are necessary. If no leaks are found, wait until the temperature gauge needle drops to a moderate level before turning off the engine. Check radiator water level wrap the radiator cap with a wet towel, slowly open the first switch of the radiator cap by turning it approximately 90 degrees. Wait until the steam pressure is fully released before completely opening the radiator cap. Check the water level and quality inside the radiator, as well as the condition of the fan belt. If any abnormalities are found, repairs are needed. If the water level is insufficient, slowly add water up to the maximum fill line.

What is the reason for the clicking sound when stepping on the accelerator?

The reasons for the clicking sound when stepping on the accelerator are: 1. Aging throttle cable; 2. Mechanical wear between the accelerator pedal components; 3. Increased free play in the vehicle's mechanical systems; 4. Clutch wear. The functions of the accelerator are: 1. Controlling engine speed by regulating pedal input; 2. Determining engine output power through carburetor control. The working principle of the accelerator is: When the pedal is depressed, it directly controls the throttle valve. The throttle opening increases, allowing more air into the engine. The ECU then commands the fuel injection system to increase fuel delivery, causing the engine speed to rise and the vehicle to accelerate.
