According to the Honda Fit owner's manual, the transmission fluid should be changed every two years or every 40,000 kilometers. Additional information about transmission fluid is as follows: 1. Transmission fluid is a lubricant that maintains the cleanliness of the transmission system, ensuring normal operation and extending the lifespan of the transmission components. 2. Prolonged high-speed operation causes wear on transmission gears and generates a significant amount of metal particles and other impurities. Failure to change the fluid in a timely manner can lead to abnormal gear wear and noise, and may even result in transmission failure or complete breakdown. The benefits of using genuine transmission fluid include: 1. Extending the transmission's service life; 2. Ensuring optimal transmission performance; 3. Minimizing the probability of transmission failures.

What Causes High Engine Temperature When Climbing Hills?

There are several main reasons for high engine temperature when a car climbs hills: poor heat dissipation in the engine and air conditioning system, improper addition and replacement of coolant, and damage to the water pump thermostat. Below are detailed explanations and solutions: Poor heat dissipation in the engine and air conditioning system: When stuck in traffic or idling for extended periods, the engine temperature gauge shows excessively high readings, the electric fan operates at high speed for prolonged durations, engine noise increases, and these issues are most noticeable when using the air conditioning in hot weather. The solution is to check if there is excessive dust between the condenser and radiator, thoroughly clean them with high-pressure air, and ensure the radiator and condenser maintain good heat dissipation performance. Improper addition and replacement of coolant: This can lead to premature clogging of the engine water passages and radiator, resulting in high engine temperature. Adding water to the engine cooling system or using coolant with a concentration exceeding 60% can both cause the engine temperature to rise excessively. The solution is to replace the coolant every two years and always use genuine parts when adding or replacing it. Damage to the thermostat: The thermostat, located on the water pump, fails to open when the engine temperature is high, which is another cause of engine overheating. The solution is to replace the thermostat.

Can You Drive a Car Right After Painting in the Rain?

The best course of action is to immediately drive to a place where it's not raining. Below are additional details: 1. After painting: It's advisable not to expose the car to rain for three days and avoid washing it for a week. If the freshly painted car gets rained on, leave it as is. Wait for a week after painting before washing, then perform polishing to check the effect. If any abnormalities disappear, that's ideal; if not, repainting may be necessary. 2. Avoid touching the freshly painted surface: Once the paint is dry, use 1500-grit sandpaper with a sanding block and water to grind until watermarks are removed, then polish to achieve the desired effect. 3. If it starts raining during painting: Stop immediately and move the car to a dry area. If only the 1K base coat is applied without the clear coat, you can sand off the watermarks and repaint. If the clear coat has already been applied, do not repaint; instead, wait for it to dry, then sand and repaint. 4. Industry standards: For 48 hours after painting, do not wash the car, expose it to direct sunlight, or let it get rained on, as the paint may not be fully dry. Rain can cause the paint to become foggy and lose its shine.

What is the reason for the continuous restart of the BYD Song screen?

It may be an issue with the Android system or the vehicle itself. Below is an introduction to the BYD Song: 1. Exterior: It is the first to adopt the Dragon-Face 2.0 design language, incorporating dragon elements throughout the vehicle. The 'Dragon Face' design is more majestic, the 'Dragon Leap' waistline adds dynamism to the body, and 'Dragon Claw' elements are used for the first time in the front and rear LED headlights, equipped with over 400 LED light sources. The Song Pro's design gathers the wisdom of an international design team, including Wolfgang Egger, former Audi design director, JuanMa López, former Ferrari exterior director, and Michele Paganetti, former Mercedes-Benz interior design director, perfectly blending Eastern aesthetics with German precision. 2. Interior: It is the first to feature a golden cabin partition + wrap-around interior design, creating an ultra-sensory smart driver's seat that provides an exclusive space for the driver. The center console is tilted 7° towards the driver's side, achieving the most reasonable design angle for ease of use and effective glare prevention without affecting the passenger side. For the first time, BYDHeart, the intelligent core, integrates key function buttons around the gear lever for easy access.

What is the introduction to the gears of a Toyota automatic transmission car?

Toyota automatic transmission cars have 7 gears: P, R, N, D, S, L, and M. The following is an introduction to the gears: 1. P gear: This is the gear used for long-term parking. It is generally used in conjunction with the N gear. When the P gear is engaged, components such as the transmission are directly locked, which also prevents the car from rolling. 2. R gear: This is the reverse gear. This gear is the same for both manual and automatic transmission cars. It is used when reversing, and it is generally engaged after the car has come to a complete stop. 3. N gear: This is the famous neutral gear. It is often misused, as many car owners mistakenly believe that using this gear when going downhill saves fuel. This is incorrect. It is actually more suitable for short-term parking. Additionally, it is used in conjunction with the P gear for long-term parking. 4. D gear: This is the most commonly used forward gear. This gear is often used by car owners regardless of road conditions, whether going uphill or downhill, which is not scientific.

If the motor vehicle owner needs to apply for temporary license plates multiple times, the vehicle management office shall not issue temporary license plates more than three times. To apply for a temporary license plate, the applicant needs to provide a company introduction letter, vehicle origin certificate, qualification certificate, and other relevant documents (except for the introduction letter which will be archived, the rest will be returned to the applicant) to the vehicle management office. During the application, the starting and ending locations of the vehicle's travel and the duration of using the temporary license plate should be specified. After review by the management personnel and inspection of the vehicle, the temporary license plate will be issued, with the validity period and travel locations signed and confirmed.
