It is normal to hear strange noises when braking in reverse. Reasons for the noise: Since the vehicle moves forward for 99% of its mileage, the brake pads and discs wear in one direction over time. Brake pads contain certain metal components, which can develop small metal burrs on one side. When braking in reverse, these burrs come into contact with the brake disc, causing the noise. This is a normal phenomenon. Function of brake pads: High-quality brake pads act as protectors for both the driver and the vehicle. The heat insulation layer is made of non-conductive materials to prevent heat transfer. The friction block consists of friction materials and adhesives, which create friction against the brake disc or drum when braking, thereby slowing down or stopping the vehicle. Due to friction, the friction block gradually wears out. Generally, lower-cost brake pads wear out faster.

How to Use the Magotan's On-board Jack?

Here is the method for using the Magotan's on-board jack: 1. Park the vehicle on a flat and solid ground, and engage the handbrake. 2. Locate the jack support points reserved on the vehicle's chassis and place the jack directly below the support points. 3. Use the jack's crank to slowly rotate the jack's screw in a clockwise direction. 4. When the jack is about to contact the vehicle's support point, confirm whether the jack is correctly aligned with the support point. 5. After confirming, continue rotating the screw, and the jack will then lift the vehicle. Here is some related information about the on-board jack: 1. It is a mechanical jack, which operates by reciprocating the handle, pushing the pawl to drive the intermittent rotation of the ratchet. The small bevel gear drives the large bevel gear, causing the lifting screw to rotate, allowing the lifting sleeve to move freely up and down. 2. In a balanced system, pistons of different sizes can maintain the liquid's stillness by applying different pressures. 3. Through the transmission of the liquid, different pressures can be obtained at different ends, achieving the effect of force transmission.

Where is the defogger switch of Beijing Hyundai ix35?

When driving the car in the colder season, a layer of fog is very easy to form on the car's glass. The main reason for the formation of fog is that the outside temperature is relatively low, and the water vapor inside the car condenses on the glass to form fog. 4. When the outside air enters the car, the fog on the windows will disappear, and the faster the air conditioning outlet speed, the more obvious the defogging effect will be.
