Time to fully charge after starting the car: If the battery is in good condition, driving for about 20 minutes after starting can fully charge the battery. The battery is an important component of a car. When the engine is not started, the battery supplies power to all the electrical devices in the car and is also responsible for starting the engine. After the engine is started, the alternator powers all the electrical devices in the car and also charges the battery. The battery is a wearable part that needs to be replaced regularly. Prolonged use will reduce its charging capacity, affecting the normal operation of the car. When the engine is not started, avoid using the car's electronic devices for extended periods. In winter, try not to park the car outdoors as low temperatures can affect the battery's lifespan.

How to Use Mercedes-Benz Auto Start-Stop?

To turn off the default auto start-stop function in a Mercedes-Benz, simply press the start-stop function button. The auto start-stop system switch is marked with an 'A' inside a circle. To reactivate this function, press the button again. The working principle of the start-stop system is: when the vehicle stops moving due to traffic congestion or at an intersection, and the driver presses the brake pedal, the Star/Stop system automatically checks if the engine is idling without being in gear; the wheel speed sensors of the anti-lock system show zero; and the electronic battery sensor indicates sufficient energy for the next start. When these three conditions are met, the engine automatically stops. When the traffic light turns green, the driver presses the clutch, and the 'start stopper' can be activated to quickly start the engine. Auto start-stop should be turned off in the following situations: When driving on a steep slope, it's best not to use auto start-stop. Although the auto start-stop duration is brief, the engine's start-stop on a slope may lead to insufficient brake assistance. In extremely hot weather in southern regions when the air conditioning is running at full capacity, it's advisable to turn off the auto start-stop function. Since the air conditioning requires significant power consumption, the vehicle's electrical system may not provide enough power to run the air conditioning when the engine is off, which could make passengers uncomfortable.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the XC60?

The fuel tank capacity of the XC60 is 70 liters. The fuel tank capacity refers to the size of the fuel tank and measures the vehicle's ability to carry fuel, which determines the driving range. In addition to storing fuel, the fuel tank in a hydraulic system also serves to dissipate heat, separate air bubbles from the fuel, and settle impurities. The Volvo XC60 is a mid-size SUV with a 5-door, 5-seat body structure. Its dimensions are 4708mm in length, 1902mm in width, and 1658mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2865mm. It features a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. In comparison to similar models, the BMW X3 2022 xDrive25i M Sport package has a fuel tank capacity of 65 liters, while the Range Rover Evoque 2021 Evoque L 200PS R-Dynamic Standard Elite version has a fuel tank capacity of 67 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe fill level, with additional space from the safe fill level to the tank opening. This extra space ensures that the fuel can expand when temperatures rise without overflowing. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E (empty) and F (full). When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, while proximity to F indicates a sufficient fuel level.

How Often Should the Spark Plugs on a BMW X5 Be Replaced?

It is recommended to replace the spark plugs on a BMW X5 every 30,000 to 50,000 kilometers. If spark plugs are not replaced for a long time, it can lead to various issues such as electrical leakage in the vehicle's ignition system, increased fuel consumption, reduced power, and most importantly, difficulty in starting the engine, which affects the normal operation of the vehicle. Spark Plug Replacement Interval: Under normal maintenance conditions, spark plugs should be replaced after driving 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type, so it is advisable to follow the instructions in the owner's manual. The following standards can be used as a reference for maintenance and replacement: platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, standard nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 kilometers, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. Steps for Replacing Spark Plugs: Open the hood and lift the plastic cover of the engine. Remove the high-voltage ignition wires, marking each cylinder's position to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for any external debris such as leaves or dust and ensure they are thoroughly cleaned. Place the new spark plugs into the spark plug holes, hand-tighten them a few turns, and then use the socket to tighten them further. Reinstall the high-voltage ignition wires in the correct firing order and secure the cover.
