Do new cars still need high-speed running-in?

For new cars requiring high-speed running-in, it should be performed after the first maintenance. Before the first maintenance, avoid high RPM driving, sudden acceleration, and hard braking, keeping the speed below 100km/h. Some manufacturers specify new car usage instructions in the owner's manual. The key to high-speed running-in is increasing engine RPM across all gears, not merely achieving high speeds. This process allows the engine's ECU to record and store data from high-speed operation, benefiting both acceleration performance and fuel efficiency afterward. For vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions or CVTs, high-speed running-in can be conducted using the 3 or 2 gears below D mode.

What is Continuously Variable Transmission?

Continuously Variable Transmission, as the name suggests, is a transmission without fixed gear ratios, meaning it has no distinct gear positions. It can be said that electric motors are inherently continuously variable. More details about CVT are as follows: 1. CVT refers to a transmission system that can continuously obtain any gear ratio within its range. It consists of two variable-diameter pulleys and a belt, making it simpler in structure and more compact than traditional automatic transmissions. 2. It can freely change gear ratios, achieving seamless shifting throughout the entire range, resulting in smoother speed changes without the "jerk" feeling associated with traditional gear shifts. CVT systems use a steel belt and adjustable primary/secondary pulleys to transfer power, enabling continuous variation of transmission ratios.

What is the original engine oil model for Hyundai ix35?

The original engine oil model for Hyundai ix35 is 5W-20. Here is relevant information: 1. The smaller the number before W, the lower the viscosity and better the low-temperature fluidity, making it suitable for lower temperatures. The larger the number after W, the higher the viscosity, ensuring more stable protection under high temperatures. When using engine oil, ensure the oil grade is correct and the oil is genuine. Using counterfeit or substandard oil can damage the engine. 2. Engine oil consists of base oil and additives. Base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives compensate for and improve the shortcomings of base oil performance, providing certain new properties, making them an important part of lubricating oil. The air vents on both sides of the center console feature a streamlined wing-shaped design, with downward-extending lines sliding along the circular buttons.

What does 'water car' mean?

Water car refers to smuggled vehicles or cars without proper documentation. Smuggled cars are 'dirty' vehicles stolen from abroad. There are two types of smuggling: whole vehicle smuggling and disassembled vehicle smuggling. Whole smuggled vehicles maintain their original appearance, while disassembled smuggled vehicles are taken apart piece by piece and smuggled as components. Smuggled cars lack proper licenses, invoices, or documentation. If caught, traffic police will investigate the vehicle's origin and impound it. Providing counterfeit license plates is part of the smuggled car service - buyers receive a complete set of fake materials upon pickup, including license plates, vehicle registration certificates, insurance policies, annual inspection stickers, and modified engine/chassis numbers.

What does 'lim' mean in English inside the car?

lim is the speed limit function button. When this button is pressed while the vehicle is stationary, the speed limit function is activated, and the maximum speed can only reach the set limit speed. Even if the accelerator is pressed further, the speed will not increase. More information about lim is as follows: 1. If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed limit, the system will issue a warning. When reaching or exceeding the set speed limit under conditions such as downhill driving, the active braking mode will not be activated. 2. If a speed limit lower than the current speed is set during driving, the vehicle will coast until the speed is below the limit. Since the system allows exceeding the speed limit under certain special circumstances, the driver can exceed the speed limit as needed, and in this case, the system will not issue an audible warning.
