After replacing brake pads, the following precautions should be taken: 1. Press the brake pedal several times to eliminate the gap between the shoe and the brake disc; 2. Check the brake fluid; 3. Use a special tool to push the brake caliper piston back. Brake pads are composed of a steel plate, an adhesive heat insulation layer, and a friction block. The steel plate is coated to prevent rust, and during the coating process, an SMT4 furnace temperature tracker is used to monitor the temperature distribution to ensure quality. Situations that require brake pad replacement include: 1. When the thickness reaches about 0.3 cm; 2. When the brake warning light is on; 3. When a hissing sound occurs during braking; 4. When the braking effect is significantly weakened.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the Foton Cummins 3.8?

Foton Cummins 3.8 fuel consumption is around 16 liters. The reasons for the high fuel consumption of Cummins engines are as follows: Insufficient tire pressure: If the tire pressure is insufficient, fuel consumption will increase; if the tire pressure is normal, you can check the degree of tire wear. When the tires are severely worn, slipping often occurs, which also increases fuel consumption. Excessive carbon deposits: This can lead to higher fuel consumption in the car, which is likely caused by the use of substandard fuel. Oxygen sensor failure: The oxygen sensor mainly monitors the air-fuel ratio of the engine. Once it is damaged, it will cause an imbalance in the engine's air-fuel ratio, inevitably leading to abnormally high fuel consumption.

How to Remove a Broken Spark Plug?

Methods to remove a broken spark plug: 1. Welding Method: Weld a thin, long iron bolt onto the broken spark plug head, then remove the broken spark plug; 2. Reverse Thread Tool: Special reverse thread tools for removing broken spark plugs are available in many places. Use the reverse thread tool to tap threads inside the broken spark plug head, then turn the tool to extract the broken piece. After removal, use a magnetic rod to clean up any fallen metal fragments as much as possible. If a properly sized long flat-head screwdriver is wedged into the broken head and force is applied to shatter it into the cylinder, then a magnetic rod is used to extract the broken spark plug fragments, this method not only damages the threads on the cylinder but also fails to clean up all the fragments, potentially harming the engine. Therefore, this method is not recommended.

Where is the seat heating switch for the 2021 GL8?

2021 GL8 seat heating switch is located on the center control panel, marked with a seat icon and several curved lines, accompanied by three small indicator lights representing heating levels 1, 2, and 3. Seat heating working principle: Seat heating utilizes electric heating wires inside the seat to warm the seat interior, transferring heat to the occupant through thermal conduction, thereby alleviating discomfort caused by cold seats after prolonged parking in winter. Seat heating precautions: When the heating or ventilation function is in use and the vehicle is turned off, the heating or ventilation function will be deactivated. If the vehicle is restarted within 10 seconds, the heating or ventilation function will automatically resume at the previous setting. If the vehicle is restarted after 10 seconds, the heating or ventilation function will not restart automatically and must be manually reactivated by pressing the button again.

What is the maximum memory card size generally supported by dash cams?

It can support memory cards up to around 128GB. Here are the relevant details: 1. Note: The memory card capacity used in vehicle dash cams should not be too large. Excessively large memory cards may cause issues with the dash cam, such as slow startup and operation speeds. It is recommended to use 32GB or 64GB memory cards. 2. Function: Dash cams can effectively record video footage and audio data while the vehicle is in motion. In the event of a traffic accident, the videos recorded by the dash cam can be used as evidence. Editing is not allowed; once edited, the footage cannot be used. Some models of dash cams can connect to two cameras: one recording the front and one recording the rear.

What are the reasons for the loud engine noise in the Corolla Hybrid?

The reasons for the loud engine noise in the Corolla Hybrid are as follows: Carbon buildup: As old engine oil becomes thinner with use, carbon buildup increases. Thinner oil can lead to oil leakage, resulting in more carbon buildup and a significant loss of power. When new oil is added, the engine may not adapt to the oil's viscosity immediately, potentially causing higher RPMs and increased engine noise. Poor sound insulation: If the engine sounds normal from the outside but the noise seems loud inside the car, it indicates poor sound insulation. Check the vehicle's sealing strips for signs of aging. Alternatively, improving the vehicle's sealing effect may help reduce the noise. Low coolant level: When the coolant temperature is too low, issues can arise, and the engine noise may increase. It is advisable to check and replace the coolant to prevent further problems.
