I've been driving the 2021 Bora for almost a year now and I'm quite familiar with its interior button layout. Let's start with the steering wheel: on the left side, there are volume adjustment buttons and a call answer button, while on the right is the cruise control switch, which is very convenient to activate with just one press. As for the center console, the air conditioning controls are the most frequently used. The left knob adjusts the temperature, the right one controls the fan speed, and the middle knob switches between air flow modes, like face or windshield. Below the multimedia screen, there are menu buttons and a knob, making it easy to select songs or navigate. The door armrest has window control buttons, and the rearview mirror adjustment is right next to it—just twist with your fingers to adjust the angle. The light control lever is on the left side of the steering wheel; push up for headlights and down for hazard lights. I often use the automatic air conditioning—set the temperature and it runs on its own, which is both worry-free and energy-efficient. Remember, don't press buttons randomly, especially while driving—safety first. Get familiar with the positions by touching them often, and you'll be less distracted while driving.

The button design of this Bora is quite tech-savvy, and I love its automated features. The steering wheel buttons respond quickly, with the volume keys adjusting at a light touch and the phone key answering calls with one press. The air conditioning area is practical: the left knob easily adjusts temperature from cold to hot, the right knob controls fan speed, and the middle mode knob changes the airflow direction. Below the multimedia system touchscreen, there are navigation keys and a knob, making operation intuitive. The window controls are on the door armrest, operating smoothly with one-touch up and down functionality. The light lever is on the left stalk, flexible to use, and the automatic headlight option is a nice touch. Usually, I set the air conditioning to 25°C in auto mode when I get in the car, and it maintains a comfortable environment. A reminder: clean the buttons regularly to avoid dust buildup, as aging buttons can affect usability. Overall, the layout is user-friendly, making daily driving convenient and efficient.

Is engine oil changed during the first maintenance?

The first maintenance includes an engine oil change. It is recommended to use the standard original equipment manufacturer (OEM) oil as suggested by the manufacturer, as OEM oil is specifically designed to fully match the vehicle model. The selection of oil grade and precautions are as follows: Selection of oil grade: The oil grade essentially represents the oil's viscosity, which can be divided into low-temperature viscosity and high-temperature viscosity. Low-temperature viscosity affects the engine's starting ability in cold conditions, while high-temperature viscosity influences the protection of engine components during operation. The oil grade is demarcated by the letter 'W'; the number before 'W' indicates low-temperature viscosity, and the number after 'W' represents high-temperature viscosity. A smaller number before 'W' means better viscosity at low temperatures, enhancing the engine's cold-start capability. A larger number after 'W' indicates higher viscosity at 100 degrees Celsius, forming a thicker oil film on engine components. However, higher high-temperature viscosity is not always better, as it increases the movement resistance of engine parts. Choose based on actual conditions. Precautions for using engine oil: Engine oil and diesel cannot be used interchangeably. It goes without saying that they cannot substitute for each other due to their differing chemical and physical properties. Different fuels have different requirements for engines, and substituting one for the other would result in wear or damage to either the gasoline or diesel engine. Unless there is a special note indicating that both fuels can be used interchangeably, substituting one for the other will have minimal impact.

Is Frequent Car Washing Good?

No. The optimal frequency for car washing is 3 to 4 times per month. Firstly, non-corrosive dirt actually provides protection to the car's paint. The greatest damage to car paint comes from ultraviolet (UV) rays, and such dirt can effectively reduce UV damage. For general dust, using a feather duster or a soft-bristle mop is sufficient. Additionally, unless you use professional car cleaning agents, most detergents contain strong chemicals that are harmful to the car. Both acidic and alkaline cleaners have some corrosive effect on the paint, so it's best to choose a neutral cleaning agent. Frequent washing also increases the likelihood of water containing sand or debris, which can scratch the paint. Frequent car washing accelerates paint oxidation and damages the outermost layer. As washing frequency increases, the paint becomes thinner and eventually loses its luster. Moreover, if the car is washed too often and encounters bad weather, moisture may not evaporate completely, leading to dust accumulation in crevices or rubber seals, which can worsen their deterioration. Here are some car washing tips: Choose mild weather—neither too cold nor too hot. Overcast weather hinders the drying of residual water, while intense sunlight causes the metal panels and paint to expand. Washing the car under such conditions can lead to paint brittleness and cracking due to rapid temperature changes. Select a spacious and sheltered washing area. After washing, pay special attention to areas prone to dirt and water stains, such as the hood hinges, wiper bases, ends of window seals, trunk drainage channels, and antenna bases. Wipe these areas thoroughly to prevent rust.

Can Wheel Scratches Be Repaired?

Wheel scratches can be repaired. The methods and precautions for repair are as follows: Repair methods: Inspect the scratches. If the damage does not reach the inner side of the wheel, it can be simply repaired. Use paint thinner to clean around the scratches and remove dirt. For the deepest parts of the scratches where dirt is hard to remove, use a toothpick to clean them thoroughly. To avoid accidentally painting unrelated areas, carefully apply masking tape around the scratches. Prepare the brush tip and apply touch-up paint. After the paint dries, it will shrink slightly, so it's best to apply it slightly raised. After painting, it takes about a week for the paint to fully dry. Once dry, use waterproof paper soaked in soapy water to smooth the surface. After wiping with waterproof paper, use a compound to restore shine and then apply wax. Precautions: First, during the wheel repair process, pay attention to the safety of the tire to prevent a blowout during repair, which could cause harm and losses. Throughout the inspection and repair process, always use a tire pressure gauge to check the tire pressure—this is the first point to note in wheel repair. Secondly, another important precaution when repairing wheels is not to schedule the repair immediately after stopping the vehicle. At this time, the heat generated by tire friction has not yet dissipated, and the wheel may deform. If repairs are done immediately, it can cause stress and damage the wheel. Many car owners end up with major issues from minor problems simply due to negligence, leading to unnecessary future losses.
