Will the vehicle still be under warranty if the first maintenance is not done at a 4S store?

If the first maintenance is not done at a 4S store, the vehicle will not be under warranty. Even if the vehicle is within the warranty period, as long as the maintenance is not performed according to the requirements of the 4S store, it is equivalent to automatically voiding the warranty. The purpose of the first maintenance: The purpose of the first maintenance is to check if there are any issues with the car, change the engine oil, and replace the filter. Because the running-in period of the vehicle is before the first maintenance, as the engine gradually breaks in, mechanical impurities such as dust, metal wear, and carbon deposits will continuously mix into the engine oil. This is why the engine oil during the running-in period cannot operate at high speeds. Precautions for the first maintenance: Be sure to change the engine oil, oil filter, and clean the air filter. Check whether the coolant level of the car is in a normal state. Inspect the car's brakes and whether there are any scratches on the chassis components. Check if the power steering fluid level is normal and if there are any oil leaks at the oil pipe connections. Inspect the generator, air conditioning, water pump, and the aging and tightness of the belts. Check the tire pressure and wear condition; if there is wear, perform tire rotation. Remember to bring your user manual for the first maintenance, read the manual carefully, and understand the maintenance mileage, time, items, and costs for your vehicle.

What are the causes of abnormal noise when the Qashqai is running?

The following are the reasons why the Qashqai produces a humming sound when running: 1. Worn tensioner pulley: The function of the tensioner pulley is to tighten the engine belt, ensuring that the generator and power steering pump do not slip. Due to prolonged pressure and high-speed rotation, the bearings inside the tensioner pulley are prone to wear, resulting in noise and resonance. If the humming sound and resonance are confirmed to be caused by the tensioner pulley, it is also necessary to check the engine mounts, as their role is to dampen the vibrations generated by the engine. 2. Deformed exhaust pipe: In most front-engine models, the exhaust pipe runs from the bottom of the car to the rear. Driving on rough roads or impacts to the undercarriage can easily cause the exhaust pipe to dent or deform. A deformed exhaust pipe increases exhaust resistance, leading to a humming sound. 3. Worn wheel hub bearing: The wheel hub bearing is installed in the suspension's "knuckle" and constantly bears the vehicle's weight and impacts during daily driving. The bearing balls inside are prone to wear, and the most typical symptom of a worn wheel hub bearing is a humming sound from the car.

What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time for the Lingpai Hybrid?

According to official data, the Lingpai Hybrid has only one 1.5L displacement option, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.8 seconds for the 1.5L model. The factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, represents how much force is available. The greater the torque, the more force is available to propel the vehicle, resulting in faster acceleration. For example, the Bora has a maximum torque of 145 Nm and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 13.1 seconds, while the Lingpai Hybrid's 1.5L naturally aspirated engine delivers 109 horsepower and a maximum torque of 267 Nm, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.8 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission acts as a medium for power transfer, inevitably involving power loss. The higher the transmission efficiency, the better the acceleration performance. Generally, transmission efficiency ranks as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The Lingpai Hybrid is equipped with an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (E-CVT). Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is referred to as the power-to-weight ratio (measured in Hp/T). The power-to-weight ratio

Does the Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng Edition have four-wheel drive?

Tiggo 8 PLUS Kunpeng Edition is a four-wheel drive model. This vehicle is positioned as a midsize SUV, with dimensions of 4722/1860/1745 mm in length, width, and height respectively, and a wheelbase of 2710 mm. It is equipped with a 2.0T engine. Four-wheel drive lever introduction: The modes are H2, H4, H4L, and L4L. Modes with the number 4 are four-wheel drive modes, allowing selection based on different situations. Four-wheel drive lever location: Located next to the gear shift lever, there is a smaller control lever which is the four-wheel drive lever. Mode introduction: H2 mode is rear-wheel drive, suitable for well-paved roads mainly for fuel efficiency. H4 mode is full-time four-wheel drive, specifically for slippery conditions like rain or snow on paved roads, enhancing traction on wet surfaces. H4L mode is for long-distance travel on slightly uneven surfaces like mud, potholes, or loose gravel, providing low-torque four-wheel drive effect. L4L mode is for steeper slopes requiring additional power, delivering high-torque four-wheel drive effect, commonly used for uphill driving.

What does a mobile Bluetooth key mean?

Mobile Bluetooth key refers to a function that allows car owners to control their vehicles using Bluetooth on their mobile phones when they are relatively close to the vehicle. The Bluetooth key includes operations such as unlocking/locking doors, opening/closing the trunk, and other related functions, essentially replacing the main functions of a physical key to provide more convenient vehicle control. The main differences between an electronic key and a Bluetooth key lie in the unlocking method, power supply, functionality, and authorization method. Below are the specific differences: Unlocking method: An electronic key can directly unlock the door by inserting it into the lock cylinder, without the need for a Congling mobile app, making the unlocking process relatively simple and quick. Power supply: The electronic key has a built-in 2032 button battery, while the Congling Bluetooth key uses a rechargeable battery. Functional differences: The electronic key does not provide real-time unlocking notifications; unlocking records are stored inside the Congling lock cylinder and can be exported via the Bluetooth key and app when needed. The Bluetooth key provides real-time unlocking notifications. Authorization method: The electronic key uses a manager to authorize unlocking and cancel unlocking permissions. Remote authorization is not possible; the key must be inserted into the lock cylinder to authorize or cancel authorization. The authorization cannot set a specific unlocking time frame; it can only determine whether the Congling lock can be unlocked or not.

What is the Difference Between Semi-Synthetic and Fully Synthetic Engine Oil?

The differences between semi-synthetic and fully synthetic engine oil are as follows: 1. Base Oil Difference: Semi-synthetic oil uses Group III base oil, while fully synthetic oil is a blend of Group III, IV, and V base oils. 2. Replacement Interval: Semi-synthetic oil should be replaced every six months or 7,500 kilometers, whereas fully synthetic oil can last up to one year or 10,000 kilometers. 3. Temperature Suitability: Fully synthetic oil has a broader operating temperature range. Under the same conditions, it provides engine protection with lower viscosity compared to semi-synthetic oil, which has higher usage requirements. 4. Vehicle Compatibility: Semi-synthetic oil is more suitable for economical, small-displacement vehicles with smooth driving conditions. Fully synthetic oil performs well under harsh conditions, offering superior high-temperature resistance and low-temperature performance, making it ideal for turbocharged engines and high-end luxury vehicles. 5. Additive Content: Fully synthetic oil contains higher TBN (Total Base Number) additives, extending its service life, while semi-synthetic oil has lower TBN levels, resulting in shorter maintenance intervals. 6. Stability: Premium base oils and advanced additives in fully synthetic oil ensure minimal volatility, greater stability, reduced friction, and consistent viscosity regardless of temperature changes. Semi-synthetic oil, in contrast, has weaker stability.
