Roewe i5 battery will lose power if left idle for more than three months. Generally, if a car is not driven for half a month, the battery still has power, but the voltage has dropped, making it difficult to start. If the vehicle is left idle for more than three months, the battery will be almost completely drained. Long-term inactivity can lead to battery depletion. Owners should start the vehicle and let it run for more than an hour every week or every ten days. Note that the running time should be long enough; otherwise, the recharge may not compensate for the discharge. Car batteries should be replaced every three years or so. There is an inspection hole on the battery, which is green under normal conditions. If it is not green but another color, the battery has reached the end of its life and needs to be replaced promptly to prevent sudden battery failure. Owners should regularly check the vehicle's condition, such as the starter not turning or turning weakly, which may prevent the engine from starting.

What Type of Transmission Fluid is Best for Cars?

Car transmission fluid types depend on the transmission: manual transmissions require gear oil, while automatic transmissions use transmission fluid. Here is some relevant information about transmission fluid: Functions of transmission fluid: Change the transmission ratio to expand the range of torque and speed variations of the driving wheels. Adapt to frequently changing driving conditions, allowing the engine to operate under favorable circumstances. With the engine's rotation direction unchanged, enable the car to reverse. Utilize interrupted power transmission to facilitate gear shifting or power output. Methods for proper maintenance of automatic transmissions: Check the automatic transmission fluid by testing its viscosity between your fingers; replace it if discolored or with a burnt smell. Adjust the linkage or cable connecting the gear selector lever to the manual valve, ensuring the manual handle's position corresponds to the spring clip position inside the automatic transmission.

What is the best RPM for an automatic car?

Automatic cars perform best at 1800 to 2000 RPM. Here is some relevant information about RPM: Definition: RPM refers to the number of revolutions per minute of the engine crankshaft. The level of engine RPM is related to the number of work cycles per unit time or the effective power output of the engine. RPM during gear shifting: For automatic vehicles, when the speed reaches 20 km/h, shifting to 2nd gear is appropriate at 1500-2000 RPM. When the RPM exceeds 2000, shift to 3rd gear, which is close to 30 km/h. Similarly, shift to 4th gear when the speed reaches 50 km/h. This is because shifting at 2000 RPM can easily cause carbon buildup, so the fuel-efficient and suitable RPM range is 1500-2000 RPM.
