Solutions for high car radiator temperature: 1. Immediately find a safe place to park, but do not turn off the engine right away. Let the engine idle to continue cooling, and open the hood to increase the cooling rate; 2. After some time, check if there is any leakage under the car; 3. Wait until the temperature gauge needle drops to a suitable position, then turn off the engine; 4. Use a wet towel to cover the radiator cap, open the first switch, wait for the steam pressure to release completely, then fully open the radiator cap. Check the water level and quality in the radiator, as well as whether the fan belt is abnormal. If the water level is insufficient, slowly add water up to the high mark line.

How often should the brake pads of Maxus V80 be replaced?

The replacement interval for brake pads is not fixed. Some vehicles may need replacement after traveling 70,000 to 80,000 kilometers, while others may require replacement after only 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers. It depends on the specific usage conditions of the vehicle. The function of automotive brake pads: Brake pads, also known as brake linings, are the most critical safety components in a car's braking system. The quality of all braking effects is decisively influenced by the brake pads. Good brake pads act as protectors for both the driver and the vehicle. Brake pads are generally composed of a steel plate, an adhesive heat insulation layer, and a friction block. The steel plate is coated to prevent rust, and the coating process is monitored using an SMT-4 furnace temperature tracker to ensure the temperature distribution during coating meets quality standards. The working principle of brake pads: The working principle of braking primarily relies on friction. By utilizing the friction between the brake pads and the brake disc (or drum), as well as between the tires and the ground, the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle is converted into thermal energy through friction, bringing the car to a stop. An efficient and well-functioning braking system must provide stable, sufficient, and controllable braking force, along with excellent hydraulic transmission and heat dissipation capabilities. This ensures that the force applied by the driver on the brake pedal is effectively transmitted to the master cylinder and individual wheel cylinders, while also preventing hydraulic failure and brake fade caused by excessive heat.
