It can still drive an additional 1,000 kilometers after exceeding the maintenance mileage. However, frequently exceeding the maintenance mileage will increase engine wear. Hazards of exceeding car maintenance mileage: When engine oil exceeds the maintenance mileage, its fluidity deteriorates, and its viscosity properties change. The engine does not receive sufficient lubrication, leading to increased wear and higher fuel consumption. When coolant exceeds the mileage, the cooling system's heat dissipation performance declines. Deteriorated coolant can easily form scale within the system, reducing the engine's heat dissipation efficiency. Excessive temperatures can easily cause the engine compartment to catch fire. When brake fluid exceeds the maintenance mileage, it deteriorates, and its boiling point decreases. Prolonged or frequent braking can cause the brake fluid temperature to rise, leading to boiling. The formation of air bubbles in the system directly results in weak or failed braking. Precautions for car maintenance: Perform vehicle maintenance according to the specified time or mileage, and avoid exceeding it by too much. Regularly check the tire condition for cracks, bulges, scratches, or abnormal wear. If any components show abnormalities, promptly send the vehicle to a repair shop for inspection. After each maintenance, reset the maintenance light and related parameters, and clean up any spilled fluids to prevent damage to vehicle components.

How to open the hood of the X-Trail?

The hood release switch of the X-Trail is located under the left side of the dashboard. Pull this switch to release the hood, then go to the position where the hood pops open and flip the mechanical switch to open the front hood. Below are some engine maintenance methods: 1. Regularly change the engine oil and oil filter. If the filter is clogged, it may burst the filter element or open the safety valve, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. 2. Regularly clean the fuel system. When cleaning the engine fuel system, use an engine no-clean detergent. 3. Regularly maintain the crankcase. If the PCV valve is blocked, contaminated gases will flow back into the air filter, polluting the filter element and reducing its filtering ability. Inhaling dirty mixed air can lead to increased fuel consumption, accelerated engine wear, and even engine damage.

What size socket is used for the BYD F3 spark plug?

BYD F3 spark plugs use a 16mm spark plug socket. The spark plug socket is used for installing and removing engine spark plugs, which are categorized by size into 16mm and 21mm. When using, select spark plug sockets of different heights and radial sizes based on the spark plug's installation position and the size of its hexagon. After unscrewing the spark plug, prevent it from falling to the ground. Below are precautions for spark plug replacement: 1. Be gentle when pulling off the high-voltage distributor wires. 2. Clean surface debris before removing the spark plug. 3. Do not forcefully tighten during installation; first try to screw it in smoothly by hand. 4. Ensure the high-voltage distributor wires are installed in the correct order.

How often should the coolant in the new Jetta be replaced?

The coolant in the new Jetta is recommended to be replaced every 35,000 kilometers or 48 months. Coolant is a special additive-containing liquid primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It offers excellent performance in preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and protecting against scale and corrosion year-round. The quality of coolant is mainly determined by two factors: 1. Freezing protection effect. Water freezes at 0°C, while standard coolants can typically reach -40°C. High-quality coolants should achieve around -60°C, which is an important indicator of coolant quality. 2. Boiling point of the coolant. Water boils at 100°C, whereas coolant should reach at least 108°C. Generally, the lower the freezing point and the higher the boiling point, the greater the temperature range, indicating better quality coolant.

How to adjust the instrument lights of Tiida?

The adjustment of the instrument lights for the Tiida is located on the left side of the steering wheel, where there are instrument control buttons that can be directly adjusted. Generally, vehicle instrument lights include the ABS indicator, EPC indicator, O/D gear indicator, seat belt indicator, battery indicator, oil indicator, fuel level indicator, coolant temperature indicator, engine indicator, handbrake indicator, high beam indicator, turn signal indicator, front and rear fog light indicators, and vehicle malfunction indicator. Below is relevant information about instrument lights: 1. Indicator lights: The most common indicators encountered while driving, such as light signal indicators, turn signal indicators, parking lights, etc., which serve to inform the status of various vehicle functions. 2. Warning lights: These have a warning function, such as the fuel indicator, door status indicator, seat belt indicator, etc. Generally, warning lights turn off after the driver performs the corresponding action. 3. Fault indicators: The most important indicators, such as the generator fault indicator, transmission fault indicator, etc. These fault indicators rarely light up under normal circumstances, or they may light up briefly when starting the engine and then turn off. If a fault indicator stays lit and is accompanied by a warning sound, it indicates that the vehicle has a malfunction or abnormality.
