7-speed DSG transmission fluid needs to be replaced every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. Here is some information about the DSG transmission: 1. The DSG transmission is currently one of the most advanced and revolutionary transmission systems in the world. The DSG can shift gears manually or automatically. It is easier to control and can transmit more power than traditional automatic transmissions, yet it responds faster than manual transmissions. 2. The DSG also offers various driving modes, such as sport mode. With the help of electronic programming, this mode significantly delays upshifts while greatly improving downshifts, and the shift time is also adjusted to be shorter.

What is the fuel consumption of the new generation Hongqi HS5?

The comprehensive fuel consumption of the new generation Hongqi HS5 is 7.7-8.2L/100km. There are 7 models of the 2022 Hongqi HS5 currently on sale. Among them, the ZhiLian QiLing version, ZhiLian QiYue version, ZhiLian QiXiang version, and ZhiLian QiXiang LeGou version have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 7.7L/100km. The ZhiLian QiXiang version, ZhiLian QiXiang 4WD LeGou version, ZhiLian QiXiang 4WD version, and ZhiLian QiLing 4WD version have a comprehensive fuel consumption of 8.2L/100km. The above figures are NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than this value, ranging from 8.5-9.8L/100km. The level of a car's fuel consumption is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before reaching a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements usually mean greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight 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 temperature: When the engine block temperature is low, the gasoline injected during a cold start does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, which increases fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine computer controls the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.

Does New Car Paint Need Maintenance and Care?

New car paint does require maintenance and care, and the methods for maintenance are as follows: 1. Promptly remove snow, rain, and other dirt from the car's surface to keep the paint clean and aesthetically pleasing; 2. Apply wax to the car body to protect the paint, preventing it from cracking due to cold, corrosion, or rust; 3. Regularly inspect the car's exterior surface and promptly address any paint damage, scratches, or exposed areas with repainting; 4. Use specialized detergents and neutral water to wash the car body; 5. Wipe the car body with a soft cloth or sponge. The reasons for severe color discrepancies in new car paint are: 1. The color ratio was not properly adjusted; 2. The paint was not fully dried.

How to Turn Off Cruise Control?

The method to turn off cruise control is: press the cruise control button and then step on the brake pedal to deactivate it. Cruise control automatically maintains the vehicle's speed as set by the driver without the need to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the car to travel at a constant speed. When the cruise control function is activated, pressing the accelerator can increase the speed to meet or exceed the minimum cruise control speed. Once the cruise control function is confirmed to be active, the engine will automatically supply fuel to meet the power requirements for the current speed. Precautions for using cruise control include: 1. Use it on highways or fully enclosed roads; 2. Avoid using it in rainy or snowy conditions; 3. Avoid using it on winding mountain roads, roads with too many curves, or poor-quality surfaces; 4. Avoid using it when there is heavy traffic on the road.

Where is the ETC device code located?

ETC device code is located on the windshield. The device number is used for managing, maintaining, passing, troubleshooting, and deregistering the ETC device. ETC is an electronic toll collection system, also known as an automatic road toll system, commonly found on highways, bridges or tunnels with toll policies, and some sections of the city center. The method to install ETC is: 1. Peel off the double-sided adhesive plastic film on the back of the ETC device and stick it to the position behind the rearview mirror on the upper part of the windshield; 2. Press firmly for about 10 seconds after sticking; 3. Insert the card into the ETC device and repeat the insertion and removal several times to complete the installation.

What is the L gear in an automatic transmission?

The L gear in an automatic transmission is the low gear. When going downhill or descending a long slope, shifting into this gear restricts the car to the lowest gear, allowing the engine to assist in braking. This prevents the driver from having to continuously apply the brakes, which could overheat the brake pads and pose a danger. Automatic transmission cars also have other gear positions marked with letters such as P, R, N, D, S, M, etc.: The P gear stands for Parking, the N gear for Neutral, the D gear for Drive, the S gear for Sport, the L gear for Low, and the M gear for Manual. Different gear combinations provide varying power outputs, and 'shifting gears' means selecting different gear combinations to match the car's speed. P gear: Parking means 'to park.' It is the parking gear used when the vehicle is stationary for an extended period. Note: The vehicle must be completely stopped before shifting into P gear; shifting into P gear before the car has fully stopped can damage the transmission. In P gear, the wheels are mechanically locked, preventing the car from moving forward or backward, which is essential when parking on an incline. However, during short stops (e.g., at traffic lights), it is best not to shift into P gear to avoid severe transmission damage in case of a rear-end collision. N gear: Neutral means 'neutral,' also known as the neutral gear. It can be used when waiting at traffic lights while keeping the foot on the brake. For longer waits, it is advisable to engage the handbrake and release the foot brake. A common misconception is that coasting in N gear downhill or at high speeds saves fuel, but this is incorrect and can actually damage the transmission. R gear: Reverse stands for 'reverse.' Whether in a manual or automatic transmission, R is the reverse gear. Shifting into R gear allows the car to move backward. The vehicle must be stationary with the engine idling before shifting into R gear. Never use R gear while the car is moving forward, and be cautious with the accelerator when reversing. D gear: Drive means 'to drive.' In a car, it is the forward gear. Shifting into D gear and pressing the accelerator allows the car to move. The transmission automatically shifts gears based on speed and throttle input. At traffic lights, you can remain in D gear with the brake pressed. However, prolonged stops in D gear can raise transmission fluid temperature and degrade its quality. S gear: Sport means 'sport.' In a car, it is the sport mode, which delays gear shifts to provide more power, typically used for overtaking. M gear: Manual means 'manual control.' In a car, it switches to manual mode, requiring the driver to manually shift gears, similar to a manual transmission.
