Reiz transmission fluid should be changed every 40,000 kilometers. The primary function of transmission fluid is to keep the gear shift system clean and to lubricate the transmission components, thereby extending their lifespan. Below is additional information about transmission fluid: 1. The main purpose of transmission fluid is to maintain the cleanliness of the gear shift system and to lubricate the transmission components, prolonging their service life. Due to differences in transmission design, transmissions are categorized into manual transmissions and automatic transmissions (which further include CVT, AMT, etc.). Each transmission design has unique technical requirements. Even the same transmission model installed in different vehicle models may vary in torque, weight, rotational speed, and structure. Therefore, the original manufacturer specifies its own dedicated transmission fluid. 2. Transmission fluid is divided into two types based on the transmission type—manual transmission fluid and automatic transmission fluid. Typically, transmission fluid serves three purposes: first, heat dissipation—the interaction between gears generates significant heat, which requires lubrication for cooling; second, lubrication—ensuring smoother gear engagement; and third, cleaning—maintaining cleanliness to extend the lifespan of the transmission components.

What is the situation when the Geely Emgrand's electric fan keeps running?

The reasons why the Geely Emgrand's electric fan keeps running are: 1. The water temperature gauge shows a high temperature, and the car's water temperature is too high; 2. The air conditioning electric fan will keep running; 3. For automatic transmission vehicles, if the automatic transmission oil temperature is high, the electric fan will also keep running. The working principle of the electric fan is: The car's electric fan is controlled by a thermostat. When the water temperature rises to the upper limit, the thermostat turns on the power, and the fan starts working. When the water temperature drops to the lower limit, the thermostat turns off the power, and the fan stops working. The Geely Emgrand's front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 80kW and a maximum torque of 142Nm.

How to Reset the Maintenance Light on the Encore?

The method to reset the maintenance light on the Encore is as follows: 1. Turn on the ignition switch when the engine is off. 2. Use the "MENU" button and the scroll adjustment wheel to display the "Oil Life" interface on the instrument panel. 3. Press and hold the "SET/CLR" button for a few seconds to reset the oil life to 100%. 4. Turn off the ignition switch, and the reset is complete. Maintenance light reset method for other Buick models: 1. Set the ignition switch to "Ignition/Run/Start" mode (i.e., only illuminate the instrument panel without starting the engine). 2. Use the driver information center control button on the right side of the steering wheel to bring up the oil life menu interface on the instrument panel display. When the remaining oil life is low, the display will show a "Change Oil Soon" message. 3. Press the ">" button on the steering wheel, the display will show "Reset", then press the "√" (OK/Confirm) button to reset the oil life to 100%. 4. The reset is complete.

Where is the cabin air filter located in a BMW 520?

The cabin air filter in a BMW 520 is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Functions of the cabin air filter: Ensures the filter fits tightly against the housing to prevent unfiltered air from entering the cabin. Separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air. Adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., from the air; provides strong and long-lasting moisture adsorption. Prevents car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility for drivers and passengers and safe driving. Supplies fresh air to the cabin, preventing occupants from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety. Effectively sterilizes and deodorizes. Cleaning the cabin air filter: The filter is prone to accumulating dust; use compressed air to blow away loose dust. Never wash it with water, as this can easily damage it. Over time, the activated carbon filtration function of the cabin air filter diminishes, so it is recommended to replace the filter at a 4S shop.

What is the thickness of BMW brake pads?

BMW brake pads are approximately 1.5mm thick. Raised indicator: Each brake pad has raised indicators on both sides, with a thickness of about 2-3mm, which represents the minimum replacement limit for brake discs. If the brake pad thickness has worn down to be level with these indicators, replacement is mandatory. Therefore, when the brake pad thickness approaches these indicators, vehicle owners should monitor them closely and be prepared for replacement. However, it's difficult to accurately observe this without removing the tires. Many vehicle models now provide a warning light on the dashboard when the brake pads become too thin, making self-inspection more convenient. Suggestion: There is no strict replacement interval for brake pads as it depends on driving conditions and habits. Generally, replacement should be considered after about 60,000 kilometers. When visual inspection shows that the brake pads are thin, it's advisable to have a technician check them during maintenance, as visual inspection can be inaccurate. Professional repair stations use calipers for more precise measurements than visual inspection.

What is the reason for the Jetta AC light not turning on and the air conditioner not working?

Jetta AC light not turning on and no air conditioning is due to the power fuse of the air conditioning switch being broken, which does not send a signal to the vehicle's compressor, naturally preventing it from cooling. Replace the AC fuse located in the engine compartment fuse box. Definition of the AC switch: Simply put, the car AC switch is the cooling switch for the air conditioner. AC stands for "Air-conditioning," meaning air conditioning device. This button controls the opening and closing of the compressor, and the car air conditioner's cooling function relies on the operation of the compressor. How AC works: After turning on the air conditioner's fan, the air conditioner will blow air because the blower in the air conditioning system starts working, so there is air blowing out. However, the cooling system of the air conditioner has not yet started because the air conditioning compressor has not begun to work. After turning on the AC switch, the vehicle's computer receives the signal from the AC switch, and then the vehicle's computer sends a signal to the air conditioning compressor. The air conditioning compressor starts working upon receiving the command, and only then does the car air conditioner's cooling function begin to work.

What Causes the Slight Grinding Sensation When Accelerating?

The causes of a slight grinding sensation when accelerating include deteriorated engine oil, belt slippage, and clutch wear. Below are detailed explanations: 1. Deteriorated Engine Oil: Over time, engine oil gradually deteriorates. Engine oil has a service life and needs to be replaced when it expires. Additionally, if the oil becomes contaminated or degraded, it should be replaced promptly. Failure to replace the oil in time or the use of deteriorated oil can increase friction between components such as the cylinder valves and guides, as well as hydraulic lifters, leading to abnormal noises when accelerating. Solution: Replace the engine oil. 2. Belt Slippage: Parking in rainy conditions can cause belt slippage. When a belt slips, it produces abnormal noises. Belt slippage generates high friction heat, causing the belt to stretch further and worsen the slippage. Solution: Visit a repair shop to adjust or replace the belt. 3. Clutch Wear: The clutch is prone to wear over extended use and requires regular maintenance. If pressing the accelerator results in the vehicle revving without proportional power output, this indicates slippage—often due to worn clutch plates. A grinding noise may indicate damage to the clutch release bearing. Solution: Visit a repair shop for replacement or servicing.
