Removing the catalytic converter will make the sound louder. Here are the relevant details: 1. Function of the catalytic converter: It filters some incompletely burned gases. If the catalytic converter is not installed, your vehicle may fail the emissions test during the annual inspection after six years. 2. Catalytic converter: It refers to the process of converting harmful gases such as CO, HC, and NOx emitted from the vehicle exhaust into harmless carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen through oxidation and reduction reactions. The main component is the catalytic converter, whose carrier is a porous ceramic material installed in a specially designed exhaust pipe. It is called a carrier because it does not participate in the catalytic reaction itself but is coated with precious metals such as platinum, rhodium, palladium, and rare earth coatings. It is the most important external purification device installed in the vehicle's exhaust system.

Why Does the Brake Pad Make Noise When Braking?

The reasons for brake pad noise during braking are as follows: 1. Rust on the brake caliper. If the brake fluid is not replaced for a long time, it will deteriorate, and the water in the fluid can cause the caliper to rust, leading to friction and abnormal noise. 2. Slow return of the master brake cylinder. Abnormal return of the brake caliper can also cause noise from the brake pads. 3. Break-in period for new cars. The brake pads and brake discs of a new car are in a brand-new state and still in the break-in period, which may produce some noise—this is normal. 4. Presence of foreign objects between the brake pad and brake disc. While driving, foreign objects like sand or gravel can get lodged between the brake pad and disc, causing noise during braking. 5. Hard brake pad material. Original brake pads are often made of semi-metallic materials, which can easily produce noise when rubbing against the brake disc. 6. Improper installation of the brake system. During installation, if the spacing between the brake pad and disc or the tightness of the nuts is not adjusted properly, it can lead to noise. 7. Noise during reverse braking. Since brakes mostly operate while the vehicle is moving forward, prolonged wear in one direction can create burrs on the reverse side. Engaging the brake in reverse causes these burrs to rub against the disc, producing noise.

How to shift gears in the Hongqi H5?

The Hongqi H5 is equipped with a 1.8T turbocharged engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission (AT). As it is an automatic transmission, the driver does not need to shift gears manually; the car can shift gears on its own. The gear positions include "P" (Park), "R" (Reverse), "N" (Neutral), "D" (Drive), "S" (Sport), and "M" (Manual). Below is an introduction to the gear positions: 1. P (Park) gear: This gear locks the drive wheels and should only be used when the vehicle is stationary with the electronic parking system engaged. 2. R (Reverse) gear: Engage this gear when the vehicle is stationary to reverse. 3. N (Neutral) gear: In this gear, the engine's power is not transmitted to the wheels. If you need to restart the vehicle while it is moving, only the N (Neutral) gear should be used. 4. D (Drive) gear: This gear is used for normal driving. 5. S (Sport) gear: Select this mode when better acceleration is needed. 6. M (Manual) gear: This mode allows for 6-speed sport sequential shifting. By operating the gear lever and selecting the gear range in the M position, corresponding engine braking force can be obtained.
