Geely GL can still start if the key fob battery is dead. Place the remote key against the one-touch start button, then press the one-touch start button. Active working method: The principle is to control the doors through the vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU) and body control module (BCM). Simply press the key button to send an unlock/lock command, which will be verified by the vehicle's electronic module to open/close the doors. Inductive working method: Primarily involves placing an encrypted chip inside the key. During the unlocking process, the vehicle's radio frequency transceiver verifies whether the key matches to determine if the engine can be started. This is mainly used in special situations where the key has no battery, allowing the car to still start normally. Passive working method: When the owner enters the sensing area of the key system, as long as the hand touches the door handle, the carried identification key will receive a low-frequency signal sent by the car. If this signal matches the identification information stored in the key, the key will be awakened.

How many liters of engine oil does a Bentley Flying Spur 6.0 require?

Bentley Flying Spur 6.0 generally requires 12 liters of engine oil. Types of engine oil: Engine oils on the market can be broadly categorized into two types based on their base oil: mineral oil and synthetic oil (vegetable oil is not considered due to its scarcity). Synthetic oils are further divided into: full synthetic and semi-synthetic. Lubricant base oils are mainly classified into mineral base oils and synthetic base oils. Mineral base oils are widely used and account for a large proportion (about 95% or more), but in some applications, products blended with synthetic base oils must be used. Key points for engine maintenance: Use the appropriate grade of engine oil and replace the oil and filter regularly (every 5,000 kilometers or 6 months); frequently maintain the air filter and replace it regularly (every 20,000 kilometers); clean the fuel system and throttle body regularly (every 40,000 kilometers) and replace the fuel filter; maintain the radiator cooling fins regularly (every 40,000 kilometers); replace the spark plugs regularly (every 50,000 kilometers or based on driving conditions). The coolant should be replaced every 2 years, and the transmission fluid should be replaced approximately every 60,000 kilometers.

What does Mercedes-Benz Maintenance B1 mean?

Mercedes-Benz B1 maintenance refers to routine maintenance, specifically the oil and oil filter service. Currently, Mercedes-Benz 4S dealerships offer two types of engine oil for maintenance, with the factory-specified grade being SN. Routine maintenance items: Oil maintenance: Engine oil, also known as lubricating oil, helps reduce engine wear and provides cooling and lubrication effects. There are three types of engine oil: Full synthetic oil: Should be replaced approximately every 10,000-12,000 kilometers. For vehicles that are not driven frequently, the oil may emulsify and lose effectiveness, requiring replacement after about a year. Semi-synthetic oil: Should be replaced approximately every 8,000-10,000 kilometers. Mineral oil: Needs to be replaced approximately every 5,000 kilometers. Vehicle maintenance cycle: The maintenance cycle is preset when the vehicle leaves the factory, so a "wrench" indicator will appear at certain mileage intervals to remind the driver to perform maintenance. Typically, the maintenance cycle is every 5,000-8,000 kilometers driven, though the factory-set cycle may exceed 8,000 kilometers. After maintenance, the service reminder light must be reset following a specific procedure to turn it off. It is also possible that the reminder was not reset during the previous maintenance, in which case performing the reset again will resolve the issue.
