The BYD Qin Plus-DMI with a pure electric range of 55 kilometers can last for 10-15 years. The version with a pure electric range of 120 kilometers can last for 20-30 years. Below is an introduction to relevant information about BYD: 1. Brand History: BYD Company Limited was founded in 1995, starting with a team of just over 20 people. By 2003, it had grown into the world's second-largest rechargeable battery manufacturer and established BYD Auto in the same year. Starting as a battery manufacturer, BYD was essentially a 'newcomer' when it came to making cars. However, leveraging its 'independent intellectual property rights' and the acquisition of Qinchuan Auto, BYD gained a first-mover advantage over other newcomers. 2. Brand Introduction: BYD Auto adheres to a development path of independent research, production, and branding, committed to creating truly affordable and high-quality vehicles for the public. The product designs incorporate advanced international trends while aligning with the aesthetic concepts of Chinese culture.

I've been driving the BYD Qin Plus DM-i for over two years now, and I believe with proper maintenance, it can easily last 12 to 15 years. The key is not to neglect the maintenance intervals. For example, I change the engine oil every 5,000 kilometers and check the cooling system and battery health. Hybrid car batteries are afraid of long-term low charge, so don't let the battery level drop too low when parked. The DM-i technology in this car is quite reliable; my friend's older model has been running well for almost 10 years, only needing brake pads and tires replaced. Just start it slowly when it's cold in winter. Regular wheel alignment and transmission checks are also crucial to prevent minor issues from turning into major problems. In short, the lifespan depends entirely on how you drive and maintain it.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure on a Magotan?

The method to reset the tire pressure monitoring system on a Magotan is as follows: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "dong" sound. Release the button, and the tire pressure monitoring system will store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clearing the previous data. Finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, indicating the tire pressure reset is complete. Tire pressure monitoring automatically checks the tire pressure in real-time while driving and alerts the driver to any leaks or low pressure to ensure driving safety. There are three common types of tire pressure monitoring systems: Direct Tire Pressure Monitoring: This system uses pressure sensors installed in each tire to directly measure the tire pressure. The pressure data is transmitted wirelessly from inside the tire to a central receiver module, which then displays the pressure for each tire. The system automatically alerts the driver if the tire pressure is too low or if there is a leak. Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring: When the pressure in a tire decreases, the vehicle's weight causes the rolling radius of that tire to become smaller, making it rotate faster than the other tires. By comparing the rotational speed differences between tires, the system monitors the tire pressure. Indirect tire pressure monitoring systems essentially rely on calculating the rolling radius of the tires to monitor pressure. Introduction to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS): This system combines the advantages of both direct and indirect systems. It is equipped with direct sensors in two diagonally opposite tires and a four-wheel indirect system. Compared to a full direct system, this hybrid system reduces costs and overcomes the limitation of indirect systems, which cannot detect low pressure in multiple tires simultaneously. However, it still cannot provide real-time pressure data for all four tires as a direct system does.

How to Detect Faults When the Generator is Not Generating Electricity?

Generator not generating electricity detection method: Use a multimeter voltage range or an external ammeter for detection. The reasons for the generator not generating electricity are: 1. Diode breakdown, no rectification effect; 2. The brush is stuck in the brush holder; 3. The rotor's magnetic field winding is not energized; 4. The stator windings are short-circuited or grounded; 5. The rotor's claw pole is loose. The car generator is the main power source of the car, its function is to supply power to all electrical equipment when the engine is running normally, and at the same time charge the battery. The car generator is composed of stator, rotor, end cover and bearing components, among which the stator is used to generate alternating current.

How to Turn Off a Car Alarm?

To turn off a car alarm, you can follow these methods: 1. Open the engine hood to locate and turn off the alarm; 2. Remove the alarm fuse by locating the car's fuse box and using professional tools to remove the alarm fuse; 3. Adjust the sensitivity of the car's anti-theft system to a lower setting; 4. Use the car key to open the door and wait for a few minutes, and the alarm sound will stop. The functions of a car alarm are: 1. Utilizing the mobile communication network to activate the anti-theft function when the vehicle enters the locked state; 2. When external force strikes the vehicle or the sensor detects vibrations within the alarm range, it will sound the horn.

What to Do When Audi Tire Pressure Warning Light Comes On?

Audi tire pressure warning light solution: First, turn on the ignition, press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "ding" sound, then release. The tire pressure monitoring system will store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, completing the tire pressure reset. Solutions for insufficient tire pressure: If no damage is visible, simply inflate the tire to the normal pressure and reset the tire pressure system; If a puncture is found upon inspection, drive to a tire shop promptly for a repair, then reinflate the tire; If the tire pressure warning light comes on again some time after inflation without any puncture, it might be due to air leakage caused by a deformed wheel rim. It is recommended to check the wheel rim and replace it if necessary. Hazards of low tire pressure: Increased friction coefficient with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption; Causes the steering wheel to feel heavy and may lead to veering, among other factors detrimental to driving safety.

How Many Days Can a Car Battery Sit?

An car battery can typically sit for about 15 days, and it will generally fail to start the vehicle if left unused for over 30 days. The functions of a car battery include: 1. Providing power to the starting system, ignition system, and electronic fuel injection system when starting the engine; 2. Supplying power to the vehicle's electrical equipment when the engine is off or idling at low speed; 3. Assisting in powering electrical devices when the generator's output is insufficient; 4. Mitigating voltage surges in the electrical system to protect the vehicle's electronic components; 5. Storing excess electricity generated by the alternator. Precautions for charging the battery are: 1. Connect directly to the battery for charging to avoid data loss caused by removing the battery; 2. A battery voltage 10% below the rated voltage may lead to battery discharge; 3. Prevent water from entering the battery during charging.
