Transmission fluid usually needs to be changed every two years or 60,000 kilometers to transmit power, lubricate for smooth operation, and dissipate heat. The relevant introduction to transmission fluid replacement is as follows: Transmission fluid replacement interval: Whether it's a manual or automatic transmission, the fluid should be changed every two years or 60,000 kilometers. Especially for automatic transmissions, maintenance is crucial, and the transmission fluid should be replaced every 60,000 kilometers. Transmission fluid replacement methods: 1. Gravity Drain: The fluid is drained using gravity, with a replacement rate of about 40%. The principle is the same as changing engine oil. For example, an 8-liter transmission can have 3 to 4 liters replaced. 2. Machine-Assisted Replacement: A machine generates pressure to dynamically replace the fluid in the torque converter's lubrication and cooling lines, achieving a replacement rate of over 80%. This method is simple and thorough but requires specific equipment and skilled technical support.

What does it mean when the airbag warning light is on?

If the airbag warning light continues to flash or stays on for more than 6-8 seconds after starting the vehicle, or if it flashes for 5 seconds and then stays on while driving, these situations indicate a potential fault in the airbag system. The airbag system typically consists of sensors, a microprocessor, an electronic control unit, an airbag cover and support ring, the airbag itself, and an airbag module. The illumination of the airbag warning light could be due to a malfunction in any of these components. Below are detailed explanations: 1. If the airbag warning light comes on while driving, remain calm and continue driving steadily to the nearest 4S shop or repair facility for inspection. If the entire airbag system needs replacement, do not feel it is not worth the cost. It is best to have this done at an authorized repair shop, as the market is flooded with counterfeit and refurbished airbags of questionable quality, which could lead to greater losses. 2. Due to manufacturers' secrecy regarding airbag technology and the lack of standardized regulations, many people believe that the lifespan of a car is the same as the design life of its airbags. However, this is not the case. The quality of airbags becomes unreliable after 8-10 years of use, so it is recommended to perform maintenance every 10,000-20,000 kilometers.

How many degrees is one full turn of the steering wheel?

One full turn of the steering wheel is 360°, and a quarter turn is 90°. You can think of the steering wheel as a clock. The correct hand position is left hand at the 9 o'clock position and right hand at the 3 o'clock position. To turn 90°, you would turn the wheel one full turn plus an additional quarter turn. Below are some related details about steering wheel operation: 1. Beginners practicing steering don't need to worry about exact degrees turned. Just follow the principle: 'Turn as much as needed, return as much as turned; turn less, return less; turn slowly, return slowly; turn more, return more; turn quickly, return quickly.' The amount of turn can be judged by the steering wheel markings or by observing the direction of the car's front and body. 2. Drive at about 15 km/h on an open road surface while turning the steering wheel left and right to check if it moves smoothly, returns to center properly, and whether the car drifts when you release the wheel.

What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the Lamando?

The 2022 Lamando has 7 models on sale. Among them, the Lamando L-280TS-DSG Spicy Edition, Shiny Spicy Edition, Hot Spicy Edition, Super Spicy Flagship Edition, Comfort Edition, and Luxury Phantom Edition, all equipped with a 150 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.92L per 100 kilometers. The 230TSI-DSG Fashion Edition, equipped with a 131 horsepower engine, has an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.4L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity is the same for different Lamando models. The distance that can be covered with a full tank of fuel is as follows: For models equipped with a 150 horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.92L per 100 kilometers, the fuel tank capacity is 51L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 51/5.92*100=861km. For models equipped with a 131 horsepower engine and an NEDC fuel consumption of 5.4L per 100 kilometers, the fuel tank capacity is 51L, and the distance that can be covered with a full tank is 51/5.4*100=944km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer will control the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.

When Does the First Maintenance Period Start?

The first maintenance date for a car is calculated from the date of vehicle pickup, which is typically around 3 months or 3,000 kilometers of driving. Different car brands have varying requirements, so it's advisable to refer to the owner's manual. After purchasing a new car, the 4S store usually requests the owner to perform the first maintenance within 3,000 kilometers. Here are some precautions for the first car maintenance: 1. Before going for the first maintenance, it's best to call the 4S store to make an appointment. Due to the increasing number of vehicles, service workshops at 4S stores are often overcrowded. Without an appointment, you might end up waiting outside for hours without getting a spot. 2. When going for maintenance, certain items are essential to bring, such as the user manual and the vehicle registration certificate. 3. If you encounter any issues or have questions while driving, note them down and inform the staff during the first maintenance registration. This helps the technician to check all the problems during the first maintenance.
