Reasons why the car feels like it can't stop after replacing the brake pads: The surface of the newly replaced brake pads is not perfectly flat. When braking, some small protrusions on the surface will first come into contact with the brake disc, resulting in a reduced contact area and lower friction. After installing new brake pads, they need to be broken in for a period of time. Brake pads are a crucial component of the braking system and are also a wear-and-tear part. Many people notice a decrease in braking performance immediately after replacing the brake pads, but this is actually normal. The surface of new brake pads is not completely smooth, and they also need to adapt to the surface of the brake disc. After driving for a while, the braking performance will return to normal.

What does the vehicle status GQ mean?

Vehicle status GQ means expired. When the public security network displays GQ for a vehicle's status, it indicates that the vehicle is under seizure due to traffic violations or illegal activities. There are three types of seizures: 1. Installment payment vehicles: The owner has defaulted on bank payments, and the bank has applied for court intervention to recover the debt. The court then issues a seizure notice to the vehicle management office, prohibiting all services such as inspections. 2. Fully paid vehicles: The owner owes debts, and creditors apply to the court to first seize the vehicle as security, then determine ownership through a judgment. 3. Vehicles used by criminals for illegal activities or purchased with illegal proceeds: The public security bureau seizes the vehicle to recover it, prohibiting all services such as inspections and transfers.

What is the green leaf on the Civic for?

The green leaf on the Civic is the Eco Mode switch. Speed: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h, priority is given to speed, and the Eco Mode automatically deactivates. In other words, if the speed significantly exceeds the economical speed range (typically between 60-90 km/h), the ECO mode cannot effectively save fuel. Computer Control: The ECO mode primarily functions through computer control while the vehicle is in motion. Therefore, it does not work during idle stops, when in N or P gear, or in manual mode. Climbing or Overtaking: When overcoming resistance requires high torque output, such as during hill climbing or overtaking, the ECU prioritizes providing sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and the ECO mode will not operate.

Where is the USB port located in the 2021 Audi A6L?

The USB port of the 2021 Audi A6L is located inside the center armrest. Below is some relevant information about the Audi A6L: 1. Five-link front suspension design: The development of vibration comfort in the new Audi A6L also focuses on comfort. The new Audi A6L adopts a five-link front suspension design, balancing the necessary rigid connection for sportiness and comfort with lower static stiffness. 2. Hydraulic damping support: The use of hydraulic frame damping support significantly improves driving comfort and effectively reduces the impact and jolt when passing over speed bumps or uneven road surfaces, thereby minimizing the impact on the lumbar spine. The hydraulic damping support is also applied in the optimized rear subframe, greatly enhancing vibration comfort and reducing both the longitudinal torque generated by tire-road contact and the uneven torque caused by the rotation of the rear axle itself.

What is the maintenance schedule for the 2021 Sagitar?

2021 Sagitar's first maintenance is performed at 5,000 kilometers, and then every 10,000 kilometers after reaching 10,000 kilometers. The purpose of car maintenance: The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean and in normal technical condition, eliminate hidden dangers, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life. First maintenance items: Check tire condition and adjust pressure; check the working condition of the lighting system; check the operation of the windshield wiper and washer, inspect wiper blade wear, inspect the exterior of the body and underbody protective components and pipes; check the condition of various control belts; adjust clutch pedal height and travel; check and tighten chassis screws; clean the air filter element.

What is the minimum ground clearance of the Vision X6?

The ground clearance on both sides of the Vision X6 is approximately 30CM. Here is some related knowledge about vehicle ground clearance: Larger clearance means better passability: For sedans, a larger ground clearance (over 130mm) generally provides better off-road performance but poorer high-speed stability; a smaller ground clearance (below 110mm) offers better high-speed stability but reduced passability. If you frequently drive on mountain roads, opt for a vehicle with higher ground clearance. If you mainly drive on city roads or highways, a vehicle with lower ground clearance is sufficient. Related to vehicle load: Ground clearance is affected by vehicle load—the heavier the load, the smaller the ground clearance. Since measurements are not taken with professional equipment or under identical conditions, there may be some deviation from the official data (due to factors like ground flatness, tire pressure, fuel level, etc.).
