The maximum load capacity does not exceed 700 jin. A car seats 5 people, averaging 120 jin each, totaling 600 jin. During the car design process, it is generally designed according to this standard. However, this is not the Lavida's limit. Carrying 500 jin is certainly no problem, considering a full load of 5 people plus luggage, etc., but it should not exceed 700 jin, otherwise it will affect the car's safety. The following are the hazards of vehicle overload: 1. Increased risk of rollover: The more overloaded the passengers, the more the vehicle's center of gravity shifts, especially when turning, making the vehicle prone to rollover. 2. Reduced braking performance: Inertia is related to the mass of the object. When braking, the vehicle relies on resistance to stop, and the more overloaded it is, the greater the vehicle's inertia, making it harder to stop than usual. 3. Tire blowout: Overloading causes the car's tires to operate under excessive load continuously, increasing tire pressure and temperature, making blowouts more likely. 4. Increased accident severity: Normally, every member in the car has corresponding safety belts, seats, and other equipment, but overload means not everyone has these. In an accident, situations that could have been avoided cannot be avoided.

As a seasoned driver who frequently operates the Lavida sedan, I must emphasize that loading it with 1,000 jin (equivalent to 500 kg) is absolutely unacceptable. The Lavida's official payload capacity is around 400 kg, meaning it's safe to carry up to 800 jin. Exceeding this limit puts excessive strain on the vehicle's suspension, resulting in unstable handling, increased braking distances, and a higher risk of losing control. Based on my experience with heavy loads in daily use, anything over 300 kg makes the car noticeably sluggish. I strongly advise against taking such risks—safety should always come first. Always refer to the owner's manual for payload specifications. If you need to transport substantial cargo regularly, consider an SUV or pickup truck instead. The Lavida is designed for daily commuting and light loads.

From my practical experience, the Lavida is too heavy when loaded with 1000 jin (500 kg). I've used the Lavida for hauling goods, and it can only handle a maximum of around 350 kg, otherwise the chassis will deform and the shock absorbers will quickly fail. Overloading not only affects driving stability but also accelerates tire wear and can even lead to blowouts. I recommend keeping the load within half of the vehicle's weight. The Lavida is just right when fully loaded with five people and luggage—don't compromise safety for temporary convenience.

The Lavida is a good car, but carrying 1,000 jin would definitely overload it. 1,000 jin equals 500 kilograms, while the official payload is usually around 400 kilograms. When I drove it with too much weight, starting and turning became difficult, and the car felt like it was sinking. Overloading is unsafe and can easily lead to fines. For normal use, carrying a few hundred jin is sufficient. It's advisable to act within your means.

Will 18650 Batteries Explode When Exposed to Sunlight in a Car?

18650 batteries have the risk of explosion when exposed to sunlight in a car. Here are the relevant details: 1. Overview: Batteries placed inside a car or in high-temperature conditions may explode. If the battery is sealed too tightly, the liquid inside can expand. Sometimes, slow charging is required to prevent the sulfuric acid liquid from expanding and exploding under high temperatures. 2. Precautions: For transported batteries, proper padding and anti-collision measures should be taken to avoid severe impacts or vibrations. After outdoor high-temperature discharge or retrieval from high-temperature environments, do not charge the battery immediately. Wait until the surface temperature cools down before charging. During flight, closely monitor the battery level. If abnormal conditions such as rapid power loss occur, return or land promptly. For storage, keep the battery in a dry and safe indoor environment.

Methods for Protecting Cars Parked Outdoors

When parking a car outdoors, it is best to cover the car with a car cover and ensure the parking spot is away from any fire sources. If it's not possible to park the car in an underground garage, choose a relatively safe location. Precautions for parking a car: 1. Avoid parking under balconies: When parking for a long time in a residential area, be especially careful not to park under someone else's windows or balcony to prevent objects from falling. 2. Avoid occupying others' parking spaces: Do not occupy others' fixed parking spots or access lanes when parking for a long time in a residential area, as this may lead to retaliation such as scratches, punctured tires, or deflation. 3. Avoid parking under outdoor air conditioning units: Do not park under the drainage outlets of outdoor air conditioning units, as water dripping from the air conditioner can leave stains on the car's paint that are difficult to clean, and severe cases may require professional cleaning.

Do Car Seats Need Seat Covers?

Generally, they are not necessary. The disadvantages of seat covers are as follows: 1. Seat covers can compromise the ergonomics of the seats: Original factory seats are designed with very strict requirements regarding their geometric shape, the firmness of the padding, and friction. Extensive computer simulations and real-person testing are usually conducted to ensure driving and riding comfort and safety, preventing occupants from sliding or shifting during a severe collision, ensuring they properly deploy onto the airbags rather than slipping under the steering wheel. 2. The impact of seat covers on side airbags: Many wrap-around seat covers can interfere with the deployment of side airbags, similar to how placing objects on the front panel of the passenger side can affect airbag deployment. In emergencies, the performance of airbags needing to penetrate an additional layer of seat cover remains uncertain. 3. The effect on the car's style: Adding covers to car seats is not a mainstream practice in mature automotive societies. If you've purchased leather seats, poorly chosen seat covers can significantly downgrade the overall style of the car.

What are the grade models of diesel engine oil?

Diesel engine oil grades are roughly divided into: CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CF, CF-4, CG-4, CH-4, CI-4, CJ-4. The different models of diesel engine oil grades indicate different oil levels and corresponding applicable vehicle models. In other words, the further the letters are arranged, the higher the oil quality grade, and so on. Therefore, it is not difficult to conclude that the highest grade of diesel engine oil is: CJ-4. Relevant information about fuel additives is as follows: 1. Classification: Fuel additives are divided into gasoline additives and diesel additives based on the target of use. In terms of function, they are generally divided into three categories: cleaning type, maintenance type, and power enhancement type. 2. Function: Due to poor atomization and incomplete combustion, a large amount of black smoke is formed. Fuel additives can effectively reduce the combustion activation energy, improve atomization efficiency, and allow the non-combustible colloids in the oil to fully burn, thereby eliminating black smoke and reducing emissions.

How to Remove Old Window Film Adhesive?

Here are the methods to remove old window film adhesive: 1. Apply vinegar: Use a cotton swab to evenly apply vinegar to the adhesive, then scrub back and forth with the cotton swab. Finally, wipe it clean with a paper towel, and it will be as good as new. 2. Apply essential balm: At first, there may be no obvious change when the essential balm comes into contact with the adhesive. However, persistent scrubbing with a cotton swab will speed up the reaction, eventually removing it completely. 3. Apply alcohol: Brush alcohol onto the adhesive on the glass, and you will see the adhesive slowly soften. Gently peel it off by hand, and the adhesive will come off easily. 4. Use hand cream: Apply hand cream to the adhesive, wait for about an hour (longer for better results), and then gently scrape it off with a bank card to remove it completely.

Will an Engine Temperature of 120 Degrees Cause Cylinder Scoring?

An engine temperature of 120 degrees can cause cylinder scoring. The normal engine temperature is 90 degrees, and 120 degrees is considered high. It is important to monitor whether the temperature continues to rise while driving. If the temperature keeps increasing, it is best to pull over and call for roadside assistance. The following situations can cause an engine to overheat: 1. Insufficient coolant: Coolant leaks or low coolant levels can cause the engine temperature to rise. In such cases, check the coolant level and top it up if necessary. After a few days, recheck the level to see if it has dropped significantly. If it has, locate the source of the leak. 2. Faulty cooling fan: A malfunctioning cooling fan can prevent heat from being effectively transferred to the coolant, leading to overheating and potential boiling. 3. Faulty water pump: Issues with the water pump, such as seized bearings or damaged impellers, can slow down coolant circulation, resulting in engine overheating. Common problems include cracked impellers or impellers coming loose from the pump shaft.
