Shaking during emergency braking is caused by uneven wear of the brake discs. The solution to brake vibration is to replace the brake discs. For manual transmission vehicles, slight vibrations in both the brake pedal and clutch pedal are normal when the vehicle is operating at low gear with high torque. For automatic transmission vehicles, pedal vibration is also normal when stopped in D gear with the brake pedal pressed at a red light; shifting to N or P gear will significantly reduce this sensation. Uneven tread wear on both sides of the tires, different tire pressures, or deformed brake discs can also cause brake pedal vibration, especially during emergency braking. In such cases, it is generally recommended to replace the brake discs.

What Causes Water to Drip Under a Car Engine?

Water dripping under a car engine can be caused by the following reasons: 1. If the air conditioning is on, it might be condensation water from the AC system. Overfilling the coolant reservoir can also cause excess liquid to expand when the engine is hot, leading to overflow through the reservoir's drain tube. 2. If the air conditioning is off and water still drips, there might be a leak. Check the antifreeze level, inspect the radiator for any cracks, or examine if the windshield washer fluid tube is damaged and causing leakage. 3. It's normal for water to drip from the exhaust pipe. This water is formed by the condensation of steam produced during engine operation, indicating good engine performance and complete combustion. Common engine faults include: 1. The muffler emits a rhythmic "popping" sound at various engine speeds, accompanied by slight black smoke. 2. The engine cannot reach high speeds, and the vehicle experiences noticeable power loss during driving. 3. Difficulty starting the engine, sluggish acceleration, overall lack of power, occasional backfiring in the carburetor during sudden acceleration, and even engine stalling, along with elevated engine temperature.

What Causes the Buick Excelle to Spray Water?

Detailed explanations are as follows: I. Water spray caused by poor water flow: 1. Fault causes: Radiator core tube blockage; Inner layer detachment or excessive softness/collapse of the water pump inlet hose. 2. Fault diagnosis: When water flow is obstructed at the pump inlet section (i.e., radiator lower tank), sudden throttle increase rapidly raises pump speed and water output. If the coolant in the lower tank cannot return promptly, water level rises in the upper tank, increasing pressure and causing water to spray from the radiator filler neck. 3. Characteristics: Each sudden throttle application triggers one spray episode; Maintaining high engine speed without sudden throttle may elevate water level but typically prevents spraying. II. Water spray caused by overheating: 1. Fault causes: Excessive scale buildup in water jackets; Reversed fan blade installation or belt slippage; Damaged/inoperative pump impeller; Overly retarded fuel injection/ignition timing; Poor coolant circulation; Prolonged engine overload operation. 2. Fault diagnosis: When engine overheating occurs, coolant boils and sprays from the radiator filler neck. 3. Characteristics: No spraying during cold starts; Spray occurs during hot operation; Spray intensity increases with higher temperatures; Engine speed variation shows no significant impact on spraying behavior.

What is the fuel economy setting of the X-Trail?

The X-Trail has two fuel economy settings: 1 and 2. Setting 1 represents the comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the average fuel consumption calculated from all distances traveled since the vehicle left the factory. Setting 2 represents the instant fuel consumption, which reflects the fuel consumption of the current trip or the most recently completed trip. Below is relevant information: 1. X-Trail powertrain: The X-Trail is equipped with two engine displacements, 2.0L and 2.5L. According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's comprehensive fuel consumption data, the 2.0L X-Trail has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.2L/100km, while the 2.5L version has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.7L/100km. In terms of power, the 2.0L naturally aspirated engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 154 HP, a maximum power of 113 kW, and a maximum torque of 204 N·m. The 2.5L naturally aspirated engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 186 HP, a maximum power of 137 kW, and a maximum torque of 246 N·m. 2. Notes: Apart from the vehicle's weight, factors affecting fuel consumption are closely related to the driver's habits. When driving, it is important to drive gently, avoiding aggressive acceleration and braking. This not only helps reduce fuel consumption but also extends the engine's lifespan.

What does the small wrench on the dashboard mean?

The small wrench is a maintenance indicator light, which serves as a maintenance reminder. It typically appears during the self-check when you turn the key. Here are the relevant details: 1. The purpose of the maintenance indicator light is to remind the driver to service the vehicle after it has been driven a certain distance. In other words, when the small wrench lights up, you should take your car to a 4S shop for maintenance. Note that different manufacturers set different maintenance intervals for their models, so when the small wrench lights up should be based on the vehicle's user manual. After maintenance is completed, the technician will reset the maintenance light to zero (i.e., turn it off) through a setting procedure. 2. If the vehicle is being serviced normally, you can manually eliminate the "small wrench" indicator by following these steps: (1) Insert the key, but do not turn it; (2) Hold down the operation lever next to the odometer for 5-10 seconds, then turn the key to power on; (3) After another 5-10 seconds, start the engine. Keep holding the operation lever throughout this process without releasing it. (4) Generally, following these steps will clear the small wrench indicator. If it doesn't clear, repeat the same process a few more times.

What is the length of a seat belt?

Seat belts do not have a fixed length, ranging from 75cm to 100cm. The following are the main structural components of a car seat belt: 1. Webbing: The webbing is a band approximately 50mm wide and 1.2mm thick, woven from synthetic fibers such as nylon or polyester. Depending on the application, the weaving method and heat treatment are used to achieve the required strength, elongation, and other characteristics of the seat belt. It is also the part that absorbs impact energy. Different countries have varying regulatory requirements for seat belt performance. 2. Retractor: The retractor adjusts the length of the seat belt based on the occupant's seating position and body size, and it retracts the webbing when not in use. 3. Anchorage system: The anchorage system includes the buckle, tongue, anchor pin, and anchor plate. The buckle and tongue are devices for fastening and releasing the seat belt. The end of the webbing fixed to the car body is called the anchor plate, the body-fixed end is called the anchor plate, and the fixing bolt is called the anchor bolt. The position of the shoulder belt anchor pin greatly affects the convenience of fastening the seat belt. Therefore, to accommodate occupants of various sizes, an adjustable anchorage system is generally used, allowing the shoulder belt position to be adjusted up and down.
