The thick AB pads of the brake pads are located on the brake disc or brake drum of the vehicle. Below is relevant information about brake pads: 1. Classification of brake pads: Asbestos brake pads (mostly phased out), semi-metallic brake pads, low-metallic brake pads, NAO formula brake pads, ceramic brake pads, NAO ceramic brake pads. 2. Ceramic brake pads vs traditional brake pads: In traditional brake pads, metal is the primary material generating friction, providing strong braking force but with significant wear and prone to noise. After installing ceramic brake pads, abnormal squealing (i.e., scraping sounds) will not occur during normal driving. Since ceramic brake pads do not contain metal components, they avoid the metal screeching noise caused by the mutual friction between traditional metal brake pads and their counterparts (i.e., brake pads and brake discs).

How to turn off the rear wiper on a BMW X5?

Lifting the wiper control lever upwards sprays washer fluid to clean the front windshield, while pressing it downwards activates the rear wiper; resetting it stops the rear wiper. More related information is as follows: 1. The rear wiper can be activated by moving the wiper lever forwards or backwards, which differs from the up-and-down operation of the front wiper switch. Moving the lever forwards or backwards controls the rear wiper's on/off function, intermittent operation, automatic mode, and washer fluid spray. 2. It is generally recommended to replace the wipers once a year. However, if the wipers are still effective and show no signs of aging, the replacement interval can be extended. The most important factor is the condition of the wipers themselves. If they show signs of ineffective cleaning within less than a year, they should be replaced. 3. Wiper maintenance mainly involves keeping the wiper blades clean, avoiding excessive dirt or debris on the rubber strips. If debris is trapped in the wipers, they will not clean effectively, accelerate the aging of the rubber strips, and potentially scratch the windshield. The correct approach is to remove any debris or dirt from the wiper rubber strips during each car wash or periodically. It is best to rinse with water first, then wipe the wiper strips with a cotton cloth or tissue. This ensures effective cleaning and extends the wipers' lifespan.

What does the +- next to the automatic transmission mean?

Automatic transmission's +- refers to gear shifting. Generally, there is an "M" letter next to the +-, which is the abbreviation of the English word "manual". "+" means upshift, representing a manual upshift, similar to the fourth and fifth gears in manual transmission vehicles; "-" means downshift, similar to the first and second gears in manual transmission vehicles, which is more suitable for uphill and downhill driving. When the vehicle is in manual mode, the transmission cannot shift gears automatically and remains in a fixed gear for driving. It will only upshift when the engine speed exceeds the limit of 6000 rpm, and downshift when the engine speed is below 1200-1400 rpm. Manual mode switching method: For an automatic manual transmission, the driver first presses the brake and pulls the gear lever down to the "D" gear, then pushes the gear lever to the left or right (some vehicles require a direct downward pull). At this time, the dashboard will display the "M" gear, and the vehicle enters manual mode.

Which company does Aston Martin belong to?

Aston Martin belongs to Aston Martin Lagonda Limited, an automobile company based in Gaydon, UK. The company primarily produces convertible grand tourers, racing cars, and limited-edition sports cars. More relevant information is as follows: 1.
