The reasons for abnormal noises when the X-Trail is shifted to D gear and the brake is applied are as follows: Severe brake pad wear: Abnormal braking noises at low speeds are likely due to severe brake pad wear. The warning indicator may emit sharp abnormal sounds to prompt replacement. Alternatively, the brake disc or brake drum may be excessively worn, and if too thin, could also produce abnormal noises. Another possibility is that the brake pads have just been replaced and are not properly fitted to the contact surface of the brake disc or drum, leading to point or line contact and resulting in abnormal noises. Engine aging: If the vehicle has been in use for a long time, the rubber of the engine mount cushions may have aged due to high-temperature fatigue, easily causing resonance. In severe cases, there may also be bumping or friction noises. Protective plate deformation: Deformation of the engine protective plate or improper installation can cause engine resonance. This situation is relatively common and easy to resolve.

What is the device with an 'a' inside a circle on a car?

The circle with an 'a' on the car is the auto-hold system of the vehicle. The auto-hold system refers to: An automatic handbrake function. Once activated, you don't need to pull the handbrake when stopping at traffic lights. It is suitable for uphill and downhill driving as well as frequent starts and stops. How to use the auto-hold function in a car: Fasten your seatbelt and activate the function while driving; when the vehicle comes to a complete stop, you can release the brake; the dashboard will display a parking indicator, and the car will remain stationary in D or N gear; lightly press the accelerator to release the brake. When exiting the vehicle, shift to P gear and pull the handbrake. The auto-hold system will only release the brake when the driving force exceeds the reverse force that could cause the car to roll, allowing the car to start directly.

Is It Normal to Smell Burning After Aggressive Driving in an Automatic Transmission Car?

It is normal to smell burning after aggressive driving, and there is no need to worry too much. The main sources of the burning smell are as follows: 1. Overheated clutch plates: This is more likely to occur during frequent acceleration and launch starts. 2. Overheated brake pads: This is more likely to happen during mountain runs, track driving, or handbrake drifting. Both of these components are friction parts, and even if they overheat, it is within the design limits. 3. Tire-related: Another source of the burning smell is the tires, which often occurs during stationary burnouts or power slides. Aggressive driving affects the car similarly to how alcohol affects a person—once or twice is no big deal, but doing it every day and at every meal will harm health over time.

What is the correct way to step on the accelerator of an automatic transmission car?

Automatic transmission accelerator operation methods are as follows: 1. Correct operation: Step on the accelerator, when the RPM rises to the gear shift range (approximately between 2000-2500 RPM), slightly release the accelerator (the automatic transmission will issue a gear up command) then accelerate again. This makes gear shifting very smooth, allowing progressive gear shifting and speed increase. 2. Reason: If you keep heavily stepping on the accelerator, the transmission will delay the gear shift timing, only shifting up when exceeding 3000 RPM; If you fully step on the accelerator, the engine RPM will reach the redline zone before shifting up. Each transmission has different characteristics, and the computer in the transmission will respond according to how deeply you step on the accelerator, so stepping on the accelerator at a constant speed is the most reasonable operation method.

How Long Can Motor Oil Be Stored in a Car Exposed to Sunlight?

Motor oil should not be exposed to sunlight. Once opened, it can be stored for about a year. To prevent opened motor oil from deteriorating, proper storage is necessary. Here are some relevant guidelines: 1. Dry Environment: The storage environment for motor oil bottles must be clean and dry, ensuring no exposure to sunlight to prevent oxidation of the oil inside the bottle. 2. Immediate Sealing: After opening, the motor oil must be sealed immediately. After completing car maintenance, apply a clean plastic film over the bottle opening and tighten the cap. 3. Avoid Adding Small Residues: When adding leftover motor oil from previous maintenance, do not pour all of it into the engine. Retain a small portion. Generally, after long-term storage, a minimal amount of moisture may accumulate at the bottom of the oil bottle, which could adversely affect engine performance if added.
