What to Do When There's Abnormal Noise When Pressing the Brake While Starting a Xiali?

When there's abnormal noise when pressing the brake while starting a Xiali, it is mostly due to the material of the brake pads themselves. It is best to replace such parts at a specialized repair shop. If the noise is particularly noticeable, it is recommended to go to a repair shop to replace or resurface the brake pads to resolve the issue. Below are some brake pad maintenance tips: 1. Under normal driving conditions, inspect the brake shoes every 5,000 kilometers. Check not only the remaining thickness but also the wear condition of the shoes, whether both sides are wearing evenly, and whether they retract smoothly. Address any abnormalities immediately. 2. When replacing, use the brake pads provided by the original manufacturer's spare parts. Only then can the braking effect between the brake pads and the brake disc be optimal, with minimal wear. 3. When replacing the shoes, always use specialized tools to push the brake caliper piston back. Do not use other pry bars to force it back, as this can easily bend the guide screws of the brake caliper, causing the brake pads to seize. 4. After replacing the brake shoes, a break-in period of 200 kilometers is required to achieve the best braking performance. Therefore, drive cautiously immediately after replacing the shoes.

I've seen quite a few cases of the Xiali making strange noises when starting with the brakes applied in my line of work. The most common cause is brake pads that are worn too thin or have rust or dust on the surface. When you press down, the uneven friction between the pads and discs causes a squeaking sound. In some cases, it's due to stuck guide pins or lack of lubrication, making the caliper movement less smooth. To fix it, I recommend checking the thickness of the brake pads and the condition of the disc surface first. Look for any scratches or rust spots with the naked eye. If the pads are thin, replace them immediately, and applying some lubricant can also help reduce the noise. Don't delay—I've seen cases where people ignored it, leading to brake failure and nearly causing accidents. Safety is no small matter. Usually, try to avoid sudden braking while driving to reduce the risk of disc and pad wear.

Can 98 and 95 Gasoline Be Mixed?

95 octane gasoline and 98 octane gasoline should not be mixed in strict terms. However, their chemical compositions and other aspects are relatively similar, and both have strong anti-knock properties. Generally, mixing them won't cause significant issues, but to ensure vehicle safety, it's best to use them separately. The differences between 98 octane and 95 octane gasoline: 1. Different chemical composition ratios: 98 octane gasoline consists of 98% isooctane and 2% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline consists of 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. 2. Different anti-knock properties: Anti-knock refers to the ability of gasoline to resist detonation under various usage conditions. The difference between 98 and 95 mainly lies in the purity of isooctane—the higher the purity of isooctane, the stronger the anti-knock property of the gasoline. 3. Different prices: In terms of price, since 98 octane gasoline has higher anti-knock properties than 95 octane gasoline, it is also more expensive than 95 octane gasoline.

Can You Make a U-Turn Over Double Yellow Dashed Lines in the Middle of the Road?

Double yellow dashed lines in the middle of the road allow for U-turns or overtaking. Here are the details: Yellow lines: Yellow lines are used to separate lanes of opposing traffic, typically painted down the center of the road, acting as a divider between the two directions. Specific scenarios: Whether it's a single or double yellow line, if it's solid, crossing is strictly prohibited, including overtaking, turning, or making a U-turn. Under normal driving conditions, you should not cross the line; whether it's a single or double yellow line, if it's dashed, you can overtake or make a U-turn when it's safe to do so; single yellow lines are generally used on roads with up to four lanes (including bike lanes), while double yellow lines are used on wider roads; if one of the double yellow lines is solid and the other is dashed, vehicles on the side with the dashed line can temporarily cross it for actions like overtaking or turning.

What to Do When the Fuel Gauge Suddenly Shows Empty Despite Having Half a Tank?

Solutions for when the fuel gauge suddenly shows empty despite having half a tank: 1. Borrow some fuel from nearby drivers: All you need is a fuel can and a rubber hose. Insert the hose into the fuel tank, suck on it briefly to start the flow, then lower the outlet end to let the fuel siphon out. However, many modern vehicles have anti-theft systems installed under the fuel tank to prevent fuel theft. So, whether you can borrow fuel from another driver depends on the specific situation. 2. Ask a friend for help: Have a friend come with their vehicle to tow yours. It's important to note that only manual transmission cars can be towed normally. Automatic transmission vehicles shouldn't be towed carelessly as it may damage the transmission. For automatic cars, the drive wheels must be lifted off the ground like professional tow trucks do.

Why does the vehicle shake during acceleration?

Reasons and solutions for car shaking during acceleration: 1. Severe engine carbon deposits. The most common cause is a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon buildup in the fuel injectors. Solution: Clean the fuel system and check if the idle control valve has carbon deposits that need cleaning. 2. Ignition system issues. Check the working condition of spark plugs, high-voltage wires, and ignition coils. Poor performance of the ignition system or weak spark plug firing can also cause such symptoms. Solution: Check if the spark plugs have excessive carbon deposits and replace them if necessary. 3. Unstable fuel pressure. Abnormal fuel pump pressure or incorrect readings from the intake pressure sensor can cause vehicle shaking. Solution: Check the fuel pressure and replace components if needed. 4. Aging engine components. Vehicle shaking can also be related to worn engine mounts (also known as engine mounts). Engine mounts are actually the shock absorption system of the engine, responsible for absorbing minor vibrations during operation. If the engine mounts are faulty, these vibrations can be transmitted to the steering wheel and cabin, causing shaking at idle. Solution: Replace the components.

Is MINI owned by BMW?

MINI is a brand under BMW. This car brand is a globally popular and highly distinctive small hatchback. Here is more information about MINI: 1. In 1956, when Europe faced extreme gasoline shortages and the UK government enforced a fuel rationing system, BMC began developing a highly fuel-efficient small car. Engineer Alec Issigonis took on this project. On a napkin at a seaside hotel in Cannes, Issigonis sketched the first design of the MINI. In early 2000, BMW sold Land Rover to Ford but retained MINI, investing nearly 360 million euros to rebuild the MINI plant in Oxford, UK. 2. MINI represents high technology, superior production craftsmanship, distinctive product features, and a strong brand image. The price range for BMW MINI in China is between 183,800 and 299,800 yuan. Depending on market demand, the new MINI models in China will offer three-door, five-door, and convertible versions for consumers to choose from. Additionally, the new models feature various new wheel designs, and the convertible version offers optional roof configurations.

Can you drive through if the front wheels pass the stop line in the last second of the green light?

Yes. Only crossing the stop line and continuing to drive after the light turns red is considered running a red light. Driving while the light is still green is not a violation. However, from a safety perspective, it is not recommended to proceed if you have already reached the last second of the green light. Running a red light situation: If the vehicle just crosses the stop line when the light is red but stops immediately, this type of red-light running will not be penalized. However, if there is obvious movement after crossing the line, penalties will apply. The electronic eye captures three photos for running a red light: the vehicle crossing the stop line, followed by two more photos of the vehicle reaching the middle of the intersection and the opposite side of the intersection. Only when all three photos are complete will it be considered running a red light, resulting in a 6-point deduction under the new regulations. When there is a conflict between the traffic signal and a traffic officer's gesture: Motor vehicle drivers must obey the on-site command of the traffic officer. If a driver "runs a red light" due to the traffic officer's on-site command, they can obtain a flow adjustment certificate from the traffic police brigade at the scene to avoid penalties. If the party disagrees with the penalty, they can appeal through administrative reconsideration or administrative litigation.
