The first maintenance should be done within 3-5 months or after driving 3,000-5,000 kilometers. The maintenance items include: 1. Engine oil and oil filter: To prevent excessive wear of components due to oil deterioration, insufficient oil, or impurities. The oil filter should be replaced together with the engine oil. 2. Air filter: To prevent dust and impurities from entering the cylinder, which could cause wear in the compression system. The air filter should be cleaned regularly. 3. Cabin air filter: To prevent excessive dust accumulation, which could enter the evaporator and cause insufficient cooling or malfunction of the air conditioning system. If the dust on the filter is not cleaned for a long time, it can produce odors and pollute the air inside the car.

What Causes the Driver's Seat to Become Hot?

Driver's seat becoming hot is usually caused by exposure to sunlight or the seat heating function being turned on. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Principle of car seat heating device: The car seat heating device works by using resistance wires for heating. Apart from slight differences in manufacturing precision, there are no significant advantages or disadvantages. Generally, the seat heating device is prone to damage after external impact, and since it is an internal device, repairs are relatively troublesome and not part of routine maintenance checks. 2. Precautions: When using the car seat heating function, the duration should not be too long, and the temperature should not be set too high. The owner can turn it off once the temperature feels comfortable. Additionally, when the heating function is turned on for an empty seat, avoid placing items that conduct heat easily, such as clothes or paper, on it to prevent rapid temperature increase and potential accidents.

How Deep Is the Front Windshield Gap?

The depth of the front windshield gap varies by vehicle model, and there is no precise answer. Methods for removing foreign objects that fall into the front windshield gap: 1. Stick: Attach tape (or a sticky object like chewing gum) to the end of a ruler (or wire), then insert it into the gap to pull the object out. 2. Hook: Bend the end of an 8-gauge wire into a hook—use two if one isn’t enough—to fish the object out. 3. Disassemble: The most reliable method is to remove the dashboard. This must be done at a 4S shop or a professional auto repair shop, though it’s not recommended to go to a 4S shop as they may charge disassembly fees (labor costs). 4. Ignore: If the object isn’t valuable, leave it in the car—it won’t affect the vehicle’s performance, driving, safety, or anything else.

What does LDWS mean and what are its functions?

LDWS system refers to the Lane Departure Warning System, which is a new driving assistance function. The following is extended information about the LDWS system: 1. Introduction: The Lane Departure Warning System mainly consists of a HUD head-up display, camera, controller, and sensors. This function detects unconscious lane departures when the vehicle is traveling at speeds of 80 kph or above on highways or dual-lane roads. 2. Working Principle: When the vehicle crosses a road marking (white lane line) without activating the turn signal, the infrared sensor behind the front bumper can detect this action and trigger the ECU. Depending on the direction of the lane departure, the driver is alerted through vibrations on either the left or right side of the driver's seat. This allows the driver to take immediate action to return to the original lane.
