The break-in period for a manual transmission is 1,000 to 1,500 kilometers. Break-in period precautions: Warm up the engine before starting; it's best to wait until the coolant temperature reaches above 40 degrees Celsius before moving off. When starting, gently press and slowly release the clutch and accelerator pedal, and choose smooth road surfaces for driving. During the break-in phase, smooth driving benefits all moving components—avoid sudden acceleration and especially sudden braking, as emergency stops and inappropriate speed increases can damage vehicle components. Post break-in maintenance: Remove the speed limiter to allow the engine to operate without mechanical restrictions; clean the lubrication system of the car's engine, transmission, transfer case, differential, steering knuckle, wheel hubs, and other areas; replace the lubricating oil, using standard new oil to lubricate all lubrication points throughout the vehicle; inspect the electrical system, and clean carbon deposits and oil stains from the ignition components.

What brand are the brake pads for the Changan CS75?

Changan CS75 brake pads are from the TRW brand, a subsidiary of ZF. Estimated brake pad replacement time: When visually inspecting the brake pads, it is generally recommended to check their thickness after driving 30,000 kilometers. When the wear reaches 3mm, meaning only 1/3 of the original thickness remains, it's time to consider replacing the brake pads. Of course, some vehicle models do not allow for visual inspection of the brake pad thickness, in which case you need to visit a repair shop for a professional check. Some vehicles also come with a self-inspection feature, where the dashboard will display a warning about brake pad wear. Precautions: Emergency braking can cause significant damage to the brake pads. Therefore, it's advisable to brake gently during normal driving or use intermittent braking (pump braking) to minimize wear on the brake pads.

What is the spark plug model for the 10th generation Accord?

The original spark plug model for the 10th generation Accord 1.5T is NGK ILZKR7B11. Main types of spark plugs include: Standard spark plugs, extended insulator spark plugs, electrode-type spark plugs, seat-type spark plugs, pole-type spark plugs, and surface-gap spark plugs. Working principle of spark plugs: Under high voltage, the air between the center electrode and the side electrode of the spark plug rapidly ionizes, forming positively charged ions and negatively charged free electrons. When the voltage between the electrodes reaches a certain level, the number of ions and electrons in the gas increases like an avalanche, causing the air to lose its insulating properties and forming a discharge channel, resulting in a "breakdown" phenomenon. At this point, the gas forms a luminous body, known as a "spark." Along with the heat expansion, a "crackling" sound is also produced. The temperature of this electric spark can reach as high as 2000-3000°C, which is sufficient to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder combustion chamber.

Where is the BMW rearview mirror auto-folding switch located?

Where is the BMW rearview mirror auto-folding switch located: 1. On the adjustment panel of the driver's side door. The rearview mirror folding function refers to the ability of the side mirrors on both sides of the car to fold and retract when necessary. The electric rearview mirror folding function allows the driver to fold them from inside the vehicle, and the mirrors automatically unfold when the car is started. 2. During driving, accidents are inevitable. As the widest component installed on the vehicle, the rearview mirror is most susceptible to impact in the event of a side collision. To minimize scratches, the rearview mirror needs to have a folding function. Rearview mirrors with a folding function can retract when passing through narrow sections, improving the vehicle's passability. When the driver leaves the car, the mirrors can also be folded, not only protecting the mirror surface but also reducing parking space, effectively avoiding scratches. 3. The rearview mirror is a tool designed for the driver to directly obtain external information about the rear, sides, and underside of the car while seated in the driver's seat. It is intended to facilitate the driver's operation, prevent driving safety accidents, and ensure personal safety.

How long is the warranty for Changan Eado Plus?

Changan Eado Plus's three-guarantee policy stipulates a warranty period of no less than 3 years or 60,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. Introduction to automobile warranty: The automobile warranty period, also known as the quality guarantee period, is generally specified by the manufacturer with two conditions: time and mileage, whichever comes first. During the warranty period, if the vehicle is used under specified conditions and experiences various failures or component damages (loss of functionality) due to manufacturing, assembly, or material quality issues, the manufacturer will provide free repairs or replacement of corresponding parts after inspection and confirmation by an authorized service station. Warranty as a selling point: Nowadays, many automakers extend the mileage of the warranty period to highlight their vehicles' quality, making it a selling point. Most vehicles now come with a 3-year or 100,000-kilometer warranty, giving consumers peace of mind with an extended warranty that reduces concerns about vehicle breakdowns. However, this extension typically only applies to mileage, not the duration, benefiting few car owners since most household vehicles travel about 20,000 kilometers per year or even less.
