The reasons why the brake only responds when fully depressed are as follows: 1. Excessive brake pedal free play. 2. Deliberate tuning by the manufacturer. Details causing the above reasons are as follows: 1. There are many reasons for increased brake pedal free play, which could be abnormal brake fluid or worn brake pads. It is recommended to visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair to eliminate safety hazards. 2. There is no good or bad in brake tuning. A slightly softer initial stage with braking force concentrated in the mid-to-late stages makes it easier to control the initial braking force, suitable for urban driving; while braking force concentrated in the mid-to-late stages can provide greater braking force after the initial stage, reducing the brake pedal travel.

Where Should Car Coolant Be Added?

The car coolant should be added between the MAX and MIN scale lines. The full name of coolant should be antifreeze coolant, which is a coolant with antifreeze function. Antifreeze can prevent the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block during cold seasons when the car is parked. Antifreeze can be used all year round. Precautions for using antifreeze: 1. Use the same brand of antifreeze; 2. The shelf life of antifreeze is two years, so make sure the product is within its validity period when adding it; 3. It must be replaced regularly. When replacing, drain the old antifreeze, clean the cooling system thoroughly, and then add new antifreeze; 4. Avoid diluting it with water.

What Causes Car Shaking After Starting?

Reasons for car shaking after starting: 1. Excessive carbon deposits, caused by too much carbon buildup on the engine, throttle valve, or fuel injectors leading to engine shaking; 2. Spark plug gap too large or too small, excessive carbon deposits on spark plugs, damaged ignition coils, or loose/leaking high-voltage wires; 3. Unstable oil pressure which easily causes unstable mixture concentration resulting in car shaking and unstable idling; 4. Dynamic balance issues - when replacing new tires, if dynamic balancing isn't performed, steering wheel shaking may occur during high-speed driving, and tire bulges or deformations can also have an impact; 5. Steering gear problems - since the steering gear tie rod ball joint is movable, excessive wear can make steering inaccurate and cause tire shaking; 6. Aging rubber bushings on the fixed steering gear can also cause shaking when turning the steering wheel.
