Car can be parked for up to 20 days at most. Here are the relevant details: Long-term Parking: It is recommended that car owners avoid long-term parking. Vehicles left unused for extended periods may experience performance degradation in various components, leading to higher frequency of malfunctions when driven, as well as increased maintenance costs for the owner. Parking Location: When the car is not in use for a long time, it is important to choose a suitable parking location. Ideally, the vehicle should be parked in a garage for better protection. If parking outdoors is unavoidable, using a car cover can help maintain the cleanliness of the paintwork and protect it from sun, rain, falling leaves, and other debris that could damage the paint. Avoid Using the Handbrake: For cars parked long-term, it is advisable not to engage the handbrake. Prolonged parking with the handbrake on can cause chemical reactions between the brake system and moisture or oxygen in the air, leading to varying degrees of rust on the brake discs and pads. In severe cases, this may result in wheel lock-up.

What does it mean when the AFL light is on?

AFL light on indicates a malfunction in the Adaptive Front Lighting System. AFL stands for Adaptive Front Light. Possible causes of the malfunction include a stuck internal steering mechanism in the headlight, damaged drive motor, faulty AFL steering sensor, or loose/disconnected wiring connectors. The Adaptive Front Lighting System consists of four main components: sensors, ECU, headlight control system, and headlamps. Adaptive front headlights, also known as auto-sensing headlights, are essentially headlights equipped with a photosensitive control system. The central intelligent control box determines changes in light intensity via light sensors and controls the automatic activation or deactivation of the headlights accordingly. Adaptive front headlights allow drivers to avoid the process of manually searching for the switch when headlights are needed, while also preventing drivers from forgetting to turn on the headlights during nighttime or in poor lighting conditions, thereby enhancing driving safety.

Is the first free maintenance not available if the mileage exceeds 5,000 km?

When the first maintenance exceeds the specified mileage, you can consult with the staff and negotiate with them. It depends on how much the mileage exceeds the specified 5,000 km. If it is slightly exceeded, maintenance can still be performed. Before the first maintenance, pay attention to the following points: 1.

If you are unsure which documents to bring, be sure to ask clearly when making the appointment. 3. Record issues promptly: If you encounter any faults or questions while driving, note them down and inform the staff during the first maintenance registration. This will help the technician inspect all issues during the first maintenance.
