500,000 kilometers without major repairs. Automobile maintenance: Automobile maintenance is a general term for automobile upkeep and repair. It involves using technical means to diagnose faults in automobiles, identify the causes of the faults, and take certain measures to eliminate the faults and restore the automobile to a certain level of performance and safety standards. Classification of automobile maintenance: Automobile maintenance includes major repairs and minor repairs. Major repairs refer to restorative repairs that use methods of repairing or replacing any automobile parts (including basic components) to restore the automobile's perfect technical condition and completely (or nearly completely) restore its lifespan. Minor repairs refer to operational repairs that use methods of replacing or repairing individual parts to ensure or restore the automobile's working capability.

I've been driving the Song MAX 1.5T for several years, covering 140,000 kilometers without any major repair issues. The turbocharged engine of this car is quite robust; with proper maintenance, it can easily run 150,000 to 200,000 kilometers. Daily upkeep is key—like changing the oil and filter every 5,000 kilometers and avoiding aggressive throttle inputs. Whether driving in the city or on the highway, it doesn't make much difference. My car has done a lot of long-distance driving on good roads, and the engine still feels as good as new. BYD's quality has improved in recent years, with durability considered in the design, making normal usage worry-free. Even if minor issues arise, they're usually simple fixes like changing a light bulb—inexpensive and convenient. In short, just don't push it too hard.

As a car enthusiast, I've studied the durability of the Song MAX 1.5T. The engine is well-designed, rarely requiring major repairs even after 150,000 km of daily driving, but maintenance is crucial. I recommend a full vehicle inspection every six months, paying special attention to spark plugs, belts, and the cooling system. Drive steadily on the road, avoid overloading or speeding, as city traffic conditions actually cause less wear. BYD has incorporated some new technologies, such as materials that withstand higher temperatures, extending the lifespan. A friend's car has run over 120,000 km and is still in great shape, largely thanks to regular service at 4S shops. To save money, you can replace simple components yourself, but don't let small issues accumulate into major repairs.

What is the numerical range for wheel alignment?

The standard data for wheel alignment are: the range of wheel camber angle is ±10 degrees; the range of toe angle is ±6 degrees; the range of caster angle is ±15 degrees; the range of kingpin inclination angle is ±20 degrees. However, since the size and chassis height of each vehicle are different, there is no exact value for the normal range of wheel alignment data. The best method is to check with an instrument. The instrument displays green as normal and red as abnormal. Wheel alignment is based on the four-wheel parameters of the vehicle, adjusted to ensure good driving performance and a certain level of reliability. The functions of wheel alignment include: maintaining the optimal driving angle between the tires and the body; reducing wear on the tires and steering components during driving; keeping the vehicle stable in straight-line driving and making steering easier; ensuring that the rear wheels or front wheels can automatically return to the correct position after steering. The following situations indicate that the vehicle needs wheel alignment correction: When driving, the vehicle is moving straight, but the steering wheel is tilted, or you feel heavy steering, shaking, or non-returning, then wheel alignment is needed; abnormal tire wear, such as wave-like wear, block wear, or uneven wear on one side, requires wheel alignment; if you feel floating, bumping, or swaying while driving, wheel alignment is needed; after repairing or replacing the suspension or steering system, wheel alignment should also be performed. When the wheel alignment data is abnormal, correction is necessary, especially if the vehicle frequently drives on bumpy roads, as the wheel alignment data is more likely to become inaccurate. Generally, it is recommended to perform wheel alignment every 10,000 kilometers or once a year to ensure driving safety and extend the lifespan of the tires.

How to Handle a Car Radiator Boiling Over?

Immediately park the car on a flat and safe area without obstructing traffic. Place a safety warning sign 50 meters behind the vehicle, or 150 meters if on a highway. Allow the engine to idle and open the hood to enhance heat dissipation. Once the temperature drops, add sufficient water to the radiator. Use a damp towel as a cushion when adding water.

Should You Press the Brake When Starting an Automatic Car?

Starting an automatic car requires pressing the brake. Here is the relevant information: 1. An automatic transmission eliminates the need for the driver to manually shift gears, as the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Typically, an automatic transmission has six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P, R, N, D, S, and L. 2. Driving an automatic car primarily involves using the Park (P), Reverse (R), Neutral (N), and Drive (D) gears, which are sufficient for normal driving conditions. However, in certain special driving environments, other functional gears may be required. Therefore, by choosing the correct control method, an automatic car can perform even better than a manual transmission vehicle.

What car has a logo of a horizontal horse?

A logo featuring a horizontal horse represents the Ford Mustang. Here's an introduction to the Ford Mustang: 1. The first concept car of the Ford Mustang was born in 1962, a mid-engine two-seater sports car. The name 'Mustang' commemorates the legendary P51 Mustang fighter aircraft used by the U.S. military during World War II. 2. The Ford Mustang is a sports car produced by Ford Motor Company. Mustangs always exude a wild, unpretentious, and practical design, yet they maintain a very bold and grand appearance. 3. The Mustang family is highly recognizable, featuring a long hood, low roof, and short rear end for a sporty stance, along with classic design elements like the aggressive shark-nose front grille and three-bar taillights.

How to Remove Water Mist from Car Headlights?

When there is water mist in car headlights, the best solution is to turn on the headlights. Generally, after the headlights have been on for a while, the mist will be expelled through the vent pipe along with the heat, without causing damage to the headlights or the circuit. For owners who have a high-pressure air gun, they can also use it to blow air over areas in the engine compartment that are prone to moisture accumulation, speeding up air circulation to remove moisture. Here is some additional information: 1. There is a dedicated vent near the headlight, which is used for heat dissipation. When the headlight is turned off, it remains hot and gradually cools down, inevitably allowing some air and moisture to enter, thus forming water mist. 2. However, this water mist will typically be driven away by the heat of the headlight within about ten minutes after the next time the headlight is turned on, which is a normal phenomenon. But if there is a significant amount of water inside, it indicates that the headlight is leaking.

What to Do If the Key Is Lost?

Call the 4S store or emergency assistance hotline for help, or visit a key duplication shop to unlock the car. The service station will require the vehicle and the owner's identification documents. The owner must provide valid documents for both the vehicle and themselves to retrieve the key bitting code from the database. Depending on the vehicle model, the service station may require the owner to provide a 17-digit anti-theft password for key duplication. The key code will then be replicated to create a new car key. If desired, the vehicle locks can be replaced. Replacing all the locks in the car will involve more parts and thus incur higher costs.
