The lifespan of Geely CVT transmission largely depends on the service life of the steel belt. The commonly used pressure steel belt is designed to last for 30 years or more. For a well-maintained CVT transmission, it can generally be used for 200,000 to 300,000 kilometers or about 15 to 20 years. Methods to extend the lifespan of the transmission are as follows: 1. Replace the transmission fluid according to the specified time or mileage. Although many manufacturers claim that the transmission requires no maintenance for life, the replacement cycle of transmission fluid is generally between 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers (varies by model). After the first maintenance, it is recommended to replace it every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers to prevent the transmission fluid from deteriorating. 2. Do not keep the gear in D for a long time when not driving. Keeping the gear in D means the transmission is working, with internal parts rubbing against each other and stirring the fluid, which raises the temperature of the transmission. Over time, this can cause the transmission fluid to deteriorate prematurely, reducing its lubrication and cooling effects, thereby increasing wear on the transmission. 3. Pay attention to daily driving habits. The gear and speed should match; neither low gear at high speed nor high gear at low speed is advisable. Also, avoid coasting in neutral, as a vehicle without power not only interrupts the oil supply to the transmission but is also in a passive state, which is very dangerous. Do not shift into P gear before the car has completely stopped, as this can easily damage internal parts.

What is the torque range for hand-tightening screws?

The maximum torque range for a normal human hand is 60N—120N. Below are the extensions for using a wrench torque: 1. Select an appropriate range: When using a torque wrench, first select a torque wrench with a suitable range based on the requirements of the workpiece being measured. The measured torque value should not be less than 20% of the wrench's range during use. A too-large range is not suitable for reinforcing small torque components, and a small-range torque wrench should never exceed its range. 2. Pre-use inspection: Before using the torque wrench, first connect the square drive of the wrench to the auxiliary accessories to ensure the connection is secure. Before applying torque, set the required force value and lock the tightening device. Adjust the direction switch to the tightening direction, then quickly operate the wrench 5-6 times in succession to allow the special lubricant inside the wrench components to fully lubricate, ensuring the torque wrench is more accurate and durable. 3. Control the range: During measurement, hold the handle within its effective range and apply force slowly in the direction perpendicular to the torque wrench's housing until you hear a "click" sound from the torque wrench. This indicates that the torque wrench has reached the preset torque value, and the workpiece has been adequately tightened. Immediately release the force afterward to avoid damaging other components.

How to Test for Car Battery Leakage?

For simple internal leakage, only a battery testing instrument can be used. If internal leakage is suspected, a milliammeter should be connected in series in the load circuit to test for any significant current under static conditions. In fact, the simplest method is to disconnect the connections, measure the voltage, record the voltage and measurement time, and then check every two hours. After about ten hours, observe whether the voltage drop is within the normal range. If not, it indicates a battery problem. Here are some precautions for using car batteries: 1. Always remember to turn off the lights: For example, forgetting to turn off the lights during the day, especially the headlights. Some beginners may turn on the car lights while playing with the car during the day and forget to turn them off after shutting down the engine. Over time, the battery power will be depleted. Also, listening to music or using the air conditioning when the car is not started can drain the battery over time. 2. Pay attention to maintenance: To prevent the car battery from running out of power, proper maintenance is essential. First, avoid frequently starting the car. Cars have a lifespan, and repeatedly starting them will cause wear and tear. If the car doesn't start the first time, wait a moment before trying again. Continuously attempting to start the car puts significant pressure on it, increases discharge, and gradually reduces the battery's lifespan.

Is Vehicle Rain Repellent Effective?

Vehicle rain repellent is effective. After spraying the repellent on the glass, rainwater will quickly flow off without forming a water film, which can improve driving safety during heavy rain. The principle of rain repellent is simple: after spraying it on the glass, a hydrophobic film forms on the surface, causing water to flow off quickly. Rain repellent contains silicone and fluorine-based organic compounds, which repel water, reducing the contact area between water droplets and the glass, making the droplets easier to be blown away by the wind. Rain repellent can also be applied to the exterior rearview mirrors, ensuring clear visibility even during heavy rain.

What is the general charging current setting for car batteries?

The functions of the buttons in the car are as follows: 1. The buttons in the car are functional buttons for various configurations. 2. These functional buttons are generally concentrated in the central control panel and surrounding areas, facilitating blind operation and quick use by the driver. Below is an introduction to some of the buttons: 1. Steering wheel: Generally, the multifunction steering wheel integrates audio controls and dashboard information center controls on both the left and right sides. Additionally, some configurations are also placed on the steering wheel. Behind the steering wheel, car light controls and wiper controls are integrated on the stalks respectively, and some models may also have adaptive cruise control. 2. Auto Start-Stop: This system automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a temporary stop (such as at a red light) and automatically restarts the engine when it's time to move forward again. 3. Electronic parking brake: Essentially an upgraded version of the traditional handbrake, it saves time, effort, and space, and is very convenient to use. Similar to the electronic parking brake button is the one-button start, which is an upgraded version of the traditional key ignition, simplifying the ignition process. Pressing the button while stepping on the brake starts the vehicle, and pressing it again turns the vehicle off.

What does 'Coilover' mean?

Coilover is a type of shock absorber favored by car modification enthusiasts. Here are the specific details about coilovers: 1. Origin: Derived from racing technology, it refers to shock absorbers with adjustable (spring) height design. 2. Functions: (1) When the car is stationary: The ground clearance at the four corners of the vehicle significantly affects the load on the wheels at those positions. Increasing the ground clearance at the left rear corner increases the load on the left rear wheel and its diagonal counterpart (i.e., the right front wheel), while reducing the load on the other two diagonal wheels (left front and right rear). Decreasing the ground clearance has the opposite effect. Therefore, to some extent, height-adjustable shock absorbers can be used to tune the static weight distribution, including the driver and fuel load. (2) On the racetrack: Professional teams utilize the relationship between ground clearance and wheel load to calculate the load on each wheel of the race car. A car with adjusted corner weights will exhibit less weight transfer and better overall balance during dynamic conditions, helping to maximize tire performance. The ideal corner weight adjustment aims to distribute the vehicle's weight evenly (or deliberately increase/decrease the load on specific wheels for particular effects).
