What to Do When the Famili Makes a Noise When Starting and Braking?

When the Famili makes a noise when starting and braking, the brake pads should be replaced in time to avoid scratching the brake disc and brake failure. Brake pads generally have warning plates. When the brake pads wear to the limit, the warning plates will rub against the brake disc, producing a sharp metal friction sound. The Famili sedan is equipped with a 1.6L + 6MT high-efficiency powertrain, featuring a self-developed 1.6L engine with high-efficiency power. The 1.6L naturally aspirated engine independently developed by Haima adopts low-friction technology for moving parts and uses advanced technologies such as variable intake manifold, intake-side variable valve timing system iVVT, 421 close-coupled exhaust manifold, lightweight all-aluminum engine, and priority cooling cylinder head, improving combustion efficiency and power performance while reducing fuel consumption.

I encountered a similar issue when I first drove my Familia. There was a squeaking sound when braking at startup. Initially, I thought it was a minor problem and ignored it, but later the noise became louder. I believe this is likely due to dust or grease buildup on the brake pads, especially in humid weather, or small stones stuck between the brake pads and discs. You can try a simple DIY solution first, such as finding a clean spot and repeatedly pressing the brakes a few times to see if it can grind away the debris. If that doesn't work, I recommend checking the thickness of the brake pads. Generally, if they're thinner than 3mm, they should be replaced because severe wear can lead to persistent noise. Finally, if you can't fix it yourself, take it to a repair shop immediately to have a mechanic check it out to avoid safety risks. Regularly cleaning the brake system after car washes can also prevent this issue. In short, don't delay—address it early for peace of mind. Driving with strange noises is just too annoying.

As someone who frequently works on car repairs, this kind of brake noise during startup is not uncommon in the Familia. The main reasons are wear and tear on brake components, such as friction sounds caused by poor contact between brake pads and discs; it could also be due to aging wheel bearings or suspension systems causing vibrations. I suggest starting with simple checks: after turning off the engine, feel the surface of the brake discs with your hand to see if they are smooth or have grooves; then listen for any unusual sounds from the brake calipers. If the brake pads are fine, it might just be excessive dust buildup, which can be gently blown away with a high-pressure air gun. Remember not to ignore this noise—small issues can escalate into major failures, and in severe cases, brake failure can be dangerous. It's best to check the brake system during regular maintenance. The Familia's brake design is reliable, but improper maintenance can easily lead to noise. Don't skimp on costs or skip necessary steps; replace parts when needed—safety comes first.

When starting the Famry, there is a strange noise from the brakes, probably indicating the brake system needs simple maintenance. I've encountered this myself—it could be dirt or rust stuck on the brake pads, especially noticeable at low speeds when starting. Let me teach you a DIY fix: First, find a quiet place and pump the brakes a few times to see if the noise lessens. Then, check around the wheels for any debris and wipe the brake discs clean with a damp cloth. If that doesn’t work, the brake pads might be nearing the end of their lifespan, and replacing them should solve the issue. Don’t worry about cost—Famry parts are easy to find and affordable. Just remember to rinse off dust during regular car washes. After this, the noise should mostly disappear, making driving smoother.

Can a car with one-button start be started if the key is not in the car?

If the one-button start key is not in the car, the car can be started if it has a remote start function. One-button start means you don't need to insert the car key. For example, some BMW models with smart start require the ignition key to be inside the car for ignition. If the key is taken out of the car, the dashboard will display a warning that the key is not in the car, and the engine will shut off after driving a certain distance. The principle of remote start is to send a signal to the car via the smart key to start the engine remotely. Nowadays, higher-end cars are equipped with remote start functionality, and some models can even be controlled via a mobile app, allowing not only the engine to be started but also the air conditioning to be adjusted and the car's condition to be checked.

What should be noted when driving an automatic transmission car?

Things to pay attention to when driving an automatic transmission car: 1. Gear shifting while driving; 2. Use the handbrake when starting on a slope; 3. Do not coast in neutral, as prolonged coasting in neutral can lead to insufficient oil pressure in the hydraulic lines of the automatic transmission, increasing friction, reducing lubrication effectiveness, and damaging the friction plates inside the transmission; 4. Pay attention when parking and shifting gears—first press the brake and shift into N (Neutral), then engage the handbrake, release the brake pedal, and shift into P (Park) once the vehicle is completely stopped; 5. Be cautious when towing—it's best to lift the entire vehicle when towing an automatic transmission car. If lifting the entire vehicle is not possible, shift into N (Neutral), minimize the towing distance, and maintain a low speed.

What brand is icemax tire?

icemax tire is Dunlop, a Japanese tire brand, originally established in Japan by the British Dunlop Company and now under the Sumitomo Group. Service life of car tires: The service life of tires is about 5 years, with the specific duration related to driving habits, temperature, and environment. Tires are rubber products, generally lasting 5 to 6 years. Over time, they will age, leading to cracking, which increases the risk of blowouts. Functions of car tires: They support the entire weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, and transmit forces and moments in other directions. They transfer traction and braking torque, ensuring good adhesion between the wheels and the road to enhance the car's power, braking, and off-road capabilities. Together with the car suspension, they cushion the impact during driving and dampen the resulting vibrations.

Does Heavy Snow Cause Damage to Cars?

Heavy snow can cause damage to cars. Winter Engine Oil Maintenance Methods: In winter, the engine system has higher lubrication requirements. If you live in an area with low winter temperatures, it is necessary to switch to winter engine oil to ensure smooth engine starts and driving performance. Winter Antifreeze Maintenance Methods: The function of antifreeze is cooling and freeze protection. In cold regions, it is essential to use antifreeze that can withstand low temperatures to prevent the cooling system from freezing, which would hinder engine heat dissipation and potentially damage the engine and radiator. It is important to select antifreeze with a freezing point based on the lowest winter temperature in your actual living area, ideally 10-15 degrees lower. Additionally, avoid mixing different brands or types of antifreeze products.
