Partial mileage can be reset freely, but total mileage should not be adjusted. Here are explanations about different odometer readings: 1. Partial mileage: This records short-term driving distances and can be reset by pressing the reset button on the steering wheel when needed. 2. Total mileage: Modifying total mileage is not recommended as it affects vehicle warranty coverage and used car sales. Altering it may impact warranty claims and give dealers more bargaining power during used car transactions.

Do new cars nowadays have a break-in period?

Nowadays, some new cars have a break-in period, while others do not. Examples are as follows: In Buick's user manual, it states that the car does not require a break-in period and can be driven freely without restrictions. However, although BMW's car user manual does not explicitly mention the need for a break-in period, it does state that under the condition of driving 1,500 kilometers, the vehicle's RPM should not be increased to 5,300 RPM as much as possible. Break-in period precautions: During the break-in period, strictly adhere to speed limits, load limits, and regular maintenance regulations to reduce wear on the engine and transmission components, while also fully utilizing the performance of the new car and extending the vehicle's service life.

What is the normal temperature range for a radiator?

Radiator temperature is generally normal between 80 to 95 degrees Celsius. Both excessively high or low temperatures are detrimental to the engine's normal operation and performance. Hazards of overheating: When engine temperature is too high, the piston will over-expand due to heat, reducing or even eliminating the clearance between the piston and cylinder wall. This increases piston movement resistance and may even cause scoring on the piston and cylinder wall. The piston ring tension will sharply decrease, failing to properly seal the gap between the piston and cylinder wall or effectively perform oil scraping and distribution functions. This can lead to engine issues such as excessive exhaust gas and oil burning. High temperature warning: If an engine experiences overheating twice, the piston ring tension will essentially disappear, and the engine will quickly develop oil burning problems. In such cases, only a major engine overhaul can solve the issue.

Can Exposing a Car to Direct Sunlight Remove Formaldehyde?

Exposing a car to direct sunlight can help remove formaldehyde, but prolonged exposure may cause damage to the vehicle. Below are some methods for removing formaldehyde: Method 1: The most common way to remove formaldehyde from a car is by opening the windows for ventilation, which is almost cost-free. Try to keep the windows open for extended periods, and you can also use an electric fan to accelerate air exchange between the interior and exterior. However, ventilation alone cannot completely eliminate formaldehyde; it only serves as a supplementary measure. Method 2: Using activated carbon is one of the most widely adopted methods for formaldehyde removal in daily life, and it is relatively low-cost. However, activated carbon tends to reach adsorption saturation quickly. Once saturated, it needs to be replaced or sun-dried. Additionally, if the amount of activated carbon is insufficient, it won't be very effective in removing formaldehyde.

What are the four components of steering wheel alignment?

Steering wheel alignment includes four components: caster angle, kingpin inclination angle, wheel camber, and toe-in. The benefits of wheel alignment and situations that require wheel alignment are: 1. Tire benefits: After wheel alignment, the tires can maintain a good angle with the vehicle body, improving grip while ensuring comfort, enhancing control, saving fuel, and greatly improving safety; 2. Wheel alignment is required when the chassis and suspension are damaged due to an accident; 3. Wheel alignment is necessary after replacing the steering system or its components; 4. Wheel alignment is needed when there is uneven wear on the inner or outer sides of the front or rear tires; 5. Wheel alignment is required after replacing or adjusting the suspension system; 6. Wheel alignment is necessary when the vehicle drifts to the left or right while driving straight.

Light motorcycles refer to those with an engine displacement greater than 36CC but less than 49CC (i.e., motorcycles with less than 50CC). Any motorcycle with an engine displacement of 50CC or more (including scooters) is permitted to carry passengers. Precautions for carrying passengers on a motorcycle: To legally ride and carry passengers, the driver must have an E or D license and the motorcycle must be registered with a valid license plate. During the ride, both the driver and the passenger must wear safety helmets.
