There is no fixed time for changing transmission fluid; it depends on the method used. The steps for changing transmission fluid are as follows: 1. Start the engine to warm it up; 2. Remove the drain bolt; 3. After the transmission fluid has drained, reinstall the bolt; 4. Locate the transmission fluid filler port and add new transmission fluid; 5. Start the car and perform gear shifting operations, pausing for 5 seconds in each gear; 6. Check whether the transmission fluid level is normal. The functions of the transmission are: 1. To change the transmission ratio, expanding the range of torque and speed variations of the driving wheels, allowing the engine to operate under favorable conditions; 2. To enable the car to reverse while keeping the engine's rotation direction unchanged; 3. To use neutral gear to interrupt power transmission, allowing the engine to start, idle, and facilitating gear shifting or power output.

What does a Level 5 water-damaged vehicle mean?

Level 5 water-damaged vehicle: The water has completely submerged the engine compartment cover, at which point almost all electrical equipment inside the vehicle will be affected by the water. There are a total of six levels of water damage to vehicles, with the following descriptions: 1. Water damage level 1: The water has just reached the vehicle's chassis, and the vehicle floor may become damp, but the likelihood of significant water ingress is low, and the impact on the electrical equipment inside the vehicle is minimal. 2. Water damage level 2: The water has submerged half of the wheels. Due to the incomplete sealing of the vehicle, water will begin to enter the interior. For lower-bodied sedans, the water level inside may affect the adjustment motors of the vehicle seats as well as electrical components such as heating and ventilation. 3. Water damage level 3: The water has almost completely submerged the tires. At this point, the water level inside the vehicle will completely submerge the seat cushions and the central armrest area, while also affecting a large number of electrical devices.

Is it normal for water to drip under a new energy vehicle?

Condensation water around the evaporator is perfectly normal. Below is an introduction related to new energy vehicles: 1. Development History: From the birth of the first electric vehicle in 1834 to the prominence of new energy vehicles as the main attraction in international auto shows by 2011, new energy vehicles have traversed nearly 180 years of history. After nearly two centuries of fluctuating development, new energy vehicles have achieved unprecedented breakthroughs in variety, technology, and market share. As a segment of electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, pure electric vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles dominate the development process of new energy vehicles and have received more attention than other types of vehicles. The century-long journey of new energy vehicles can be broadly divided into four stages: the birth of electric vehicles, the renewed focus on electric vehicles, the development of hybrid and other vehicle types, and the market-oriented development of pure electric vehicles. 2. Power Sources: From a global perspective on the development of new energy vehicles, their power sources mainly include lithium-ion batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, lead-acid batteries, and supercapacitors, with supercapacitors mostly appearing in the form of auxiliary power sources. The main reason is that these battery technologies are not yet fully mature or have obvious shortcomings, and there are considerable gaps compared to traditional vehicles in terms of cost, power, and range, which is also an important factor restricting the development of new energy vehicles.

Should the new car dash cam be installed at the 4S store or outside?

If purchased from a 4S store, have it installed there. Below is relevant information about dash cams: 1. Definition: A dash cam is a device that records images, sounds, and related information during vehicle operation. After installation, it can document the entire driving process through video and audio, providing evidence for traffic accidents. For those who enjoy road trips, it can also record the journey through challenging terrains. It continuously records while driving, capturing time, speed, and location data in the footage, essentially serving as a 'black box'. It can also be used at home as a DV camera to capture life's moments or for home surveillance. 2. Function: It safeguards drivers' legal rights. In case of accidental collisions with pedestrians crossing the road or cyclists and motorcyclists, drivers might face extortion attempts. A dash cam can provide valid evidence for the driver. Reviewing the recorded footage makes accident liabilities clear, enabling traffic police to handle incidents swiftly and accurately. This allows for quick clearance of the accident scene to restore traffic flow while preserving crucial evidence from the incident, contributing to a safer and smoother traffic environment.

How many kilometers can spark plugs last?

Under normal maintenance conditions, spark plugs can last for 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type. It is recommended to follow the user manual for guidance. The following standards can be referenced for maintenance and replacement: Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 kilometers, ordinary 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 engine hood, lift the plastic cover of the engine, and remove the high-voltage ignition wires. Mark the position of each cylinder to avoid confusion. Use a spark plug socket to remove the spark plugs one by one. While removing them, check for any external debris like leaves or dust and ensure they are cleaned thoroughly. 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 firing order and secure the cover.
