Car batteries can be damaged if left without power for an extended period. The maintenance methods for batteries are: 1. Charge promptly when the ammeter indicates insufficient charge. 2. Adjust the electrolyte density according to standards based on different regions and seasons. 3. Add distilled water or special replenishing fluid when the electrolyte is low. 4. The total duration of each engine start should not exceed 5 seconds. 5. When the battery is not used for a long time, start the car periodically. 6. Regularly check if the small holes on the battery cover are ventilated. 7. Inspect whether the positive and negative terminals of the battery are oxidized. 8. Check all parts of the circuit for aging or short circuits.

According to the new regulations: vehicles must undergo annual inspections. If the inspection is overdue and caught by traffic police, the vehicle will be penalized with points and fines. If a vehicle fails to undergo annual inspections for three consecutive years, it will be mandatorily scrapped. The standards for vehicle scrapping: 1. Reaching the prescribed service life; 2. Failing to meet the national standards for in-use vehicle safety technical requirements; 3. Still failing to meet the national standards for in-use vehicle requirements regarding atmospheric pollutant emissions or noise; 4.

Why Does the Brake Pad Smell Burnt During Continuous Downhill Driving?

Here is the relevant introduction to why the brake pad smells burnt during continuous downhill driving: 1. High Resistance: Because the brake pad is subjected to greater resistance than usual during downhill driving, it is prone to damage, carbonization, and significant wear. When the brake pad ages, it can easily wear out the carbon lining completely, leaving only metal-to-metal friction. It's important to note that metal-to-metal friction is minimal, which can lead to slipping and brake failure. 2. Vaporization Phenomenon: Additionally, high temperatures can cause the brake fluid to vaporize, which is intended to expel air from the brake lines. During brake adjustment, bleeding the brake lines to remove air is also a crucial step. Another reason is that prolonged downhill braking causes the brake pad temperature to rise rapidly, leading to high-temperature deformation and reduced contact area, which can also result in brake failure.
