New cars require maintenance every 6 months or 5,000 kilometers. Even if the mileage doesn't reach 5,000 kilometers within 6 months, maintenance is still necessary. Regarding the first maintenance time for a car, standards vary by region, and the initial service interval depends on factors such as the car's brand, model, and the specifications of the engine oil used. Car maintenance is essential for vehicles as it ensures optimal performance and technical condition, significantly improves vehicle efficiency, reduces component wear, and guarantees personal safety during travel. The purpose of car maintenance is to maintain a clean appearance, normal technical condition, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.

Why does BMW automatically shut off when parked?

BMW automatically shuts off when parked due to reasons such as low engine temperature or fuel pump malfunction. The details are as follows: Low engine temperature: Fuel is less volatile and harder to vaporize. If there is severe carbon buildup in the fuel lines, intake passages, etc., these carbon deposits will absorb some fuel vapor, leading to an overly lean air-fuel mixture entering the cylinders for combustion. This can cause unstable idling or immediate stalling after ignition. If you attempt ignition multiple times, the carbon deposits will become saturated with fuel vapor, allowing the air-fuel mixture entering the cylinders to meet the standard, and the engine can start. Fuel pump malfunction: The fuel pump may suddenly jam or experience other faults, causing it to rotate insufficiently or stop altogether, resulting in insufficient fuel supply and stalling. Low fuel system pressure, such as weak fuel pump pressure, fuel line leaks, insufficient electrical current, or a damaged fuel pressure regulator, can also lead to inadequate fuel supply. Clogged or leaking fuel injectors can cause poor atomization, resulting in insufficient fuel supply and stalling.

What are the reasons for the malfunction of the Envision S touchscreen?

Envision S touchscreen malfunction is due to issues with the screen itself, adhesive from the screen protector sticking to the surface, problems with the resistive screen, and other reasons. The details are as follows: Issues with the screen itself: The screen itself has a problem. If this is the case, it involves many reasons, such as touchscreen damage, loose connections, or loose display wiring, etc. In such situations, it can only be repaired at a 4S shop. Adhesive sticking to the screen surface: There is a screen protector on the screen, causing the adhesive to stick to the surface. Use dishwashing liquid, essential balm, etc., to clean the adhesive off the screen. Problems with the resistive screen: Restart the device. First, locate the restart button, usually on the back or side of the device. Use a paperclip or toothpick to press it and restore the device to its initial state. If there is a response, you can calibrate the screen in the settings, and it should work after calibration.

What is the RPM for semi-engaged clutch?

When the clutch is semi-engaged, the RPM is generally at idle speed, typically around 800~1000 rpm. If the accelerator is not pressed, the RPM remains at this level, but it will increase if the accelerator is pressed. The semi-engaged clutch refers to an unstable working state of the clutch coupling, where the pressure on the clutch pressure plate gradually decreases as the driver depresses the clutch pedal, causing the driving plate and driven plate to slip while rotating. In manual transmission vehicles, many operations require the use of semi-engaged clutch, but prolonged use can lead to clutch wear. During driving tests, the semi-engaged clutch is required for certain maneuvers in the field test, but it is prohibited in the road test. The semi-engaged clutch is generally used when starting in first gear or driving slowly in second gear. The normal shifting rhythm involves shifting to the next gear when the speed is between 1500-2000 RPM. The semi-engaged clutch refers to an unstable working state of the clutch coupling, where the pressure on the clutch pressure plate gradually decreases as the driver depresses the clutch pedal, causing the driving plate and driven plate to slip while rotating. During the field driving test, drivers who are not yet proficient may fail to complete the required actions within the allotted time. To extend the operation time, they often use the semi-engaged clutch to reduce speed, but this technique is not permitted under the rules of the road test.

Is the ground clearance of the Tayron considered high?

The Tayron model has a ground clearance of 205mm when unloaded and 155mm when fully loaded. The ground clearance is considered high. The ground clearance of a vehicle refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle (excluding the wheels) and the supporting surface. This distance is influenced by the vehicle's own weight and load conditions—the heavier the weight, the smaller the clearance. Factors affecting ground clearance: Absolute ground clearance is also influenced by factors such as the flatness of the contact surface, real-time tire pressure, and the stiffness of the suspension. Within the passenger vehicle category, the smallest ground clearance is typically found in performance-oriented sports cars and common sedans. A smaller ground clearance effectively enhances vehicle stability while also aiming for better airflow to reduce wind resistance. General ground clearance conditions: For typical sedans, the minimum ground clearance ranges between 110mm and 130mm. As for SUVs, their ground clearance when unloaded ranges between 200mm and 250mm. However, due to the larger clearance of SUVs, there is a higher possibility of rollover during high-speed sharp turns.

Do All Four Tires on a 4WD Vehicle Need to Be Replaced Together?

Under ideal circumstances, it is recommended to replace all four tires of a 4WD vehicle simultaneously. If conditions do not permit, at least the two tires on the same axle should be replaced together. Here are more details regarding tire replacement: 1. Tires on the same axle must be of the same brand, model, and tread pattern, with identical load indexes and speed ratings. Replacing only one tire can result in different tread patterns on either side of the vehicle, increasing fuel consumption and posing significant safety risks. For instance, during sharp turns or emergency braking, the vehicle may tilt, leading to accidents. 2. If the center differential lacks a limited-slip device (LSD), a 4WD vehicle is no different from a standard front-wheel-drive or rear-wheel-drive vehicle. Once one wheel loses traction, the remaining three wheels will also lose their pulling force. 3. If the original four tires are of the same model, the replacements must also be of the same model. It is not permissible to have one model for the two front tires and another for the two rear tires. Different tire specifications between the front and rear axles can lead to variations in traction or differences in outer diameter, causing handling or mechanical issues.

How Much Does an Ordinary Sedan Weigh?

Generally, the weight of an ordinary sedan ranges from 100 to 200 kg. Depending on the brand and model, the vehicle's weight distribution varies significantly, and the engine differences are also considerable. Sedan engines can be made from materials such as cast aluminum, cast steel, or cast iron. The cylinder block and cylinder head may use the same or different materials. Depending on the vehicle classification, the design displacement of the engine, the number of cylinders, and consequently the weight, also differ. Korean Models: Sonata 2.0 (1444 kg), NF Sonata 2.4 (1463 kg), Optima 2.0 (1480 kg). American Models: Regal 2.5 (1557 kg), Epica 2.0 (1482 kg), Mondeo 2.0 (1445 kg), Focus 2.0 (1340 kg). German Models: BMW 3 Series (1395 kg), BMW 5 Series (1570 kg), Passat 1.8T (1450 kg), Passat Lingyu 1.8T (1522 kg).
