Automobile coolant should be replenished every two years or after driving 40,000 kilometers. The following is an introduction to coolant: Precautions for antifreeze replacement: Antifreeze coolant can be replaced either at a 4S shop or by yourself. However, drivers should note that engine antifreeze coolant is available at 4S shops or auto parts stores. There are two specifications: ready-to-use and concentrated. The ready-to-use type can be directly poured into the radiator. Functions of antifreeze: It provides anti-corrosion protection for components of the cooling system; prevents scale formation to avoid reducing the radiator's heat dissipation efficiency; ensures the engine operates within the normal temperature range.

Will a manual transmission car with hill-start assist roll back?

Manual transmission cars with hill-start assist can still roll back. Function of hill-start assist: Hill-start assist, also known as Hill-start Assist Control. When starting on a steep or slippery slope, if the driver switches from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal, the vehicle may roll backward, making it difficult to start. To prevent this, the hill-start assist control temporarily applies braking force to all four wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling back. When equipped with hill-start assist control, since it prevents the vehicle from rolling backward, the driver can start the car more easily and operate the pedals more comfortably. Conditions for automatic activation of hill-start assist: The vehicle must be on an uphill slope, not in P gear, not pressing the accelerator, the car must be stationary, and the handbrake must not be engaged. This function mainly assists the vehicle when going uphill. If the vehicle encounters an uphill section, the hill-start assist will help the vehicle climb, facilitating smoother driving, as if automatically hiring a pusher to save effort. When encountering an uphill slope, with auto-hold activated, the vehicle will not roll back, and unlike hill-start assist, there is no time limit—it will continue to provide braking force as long as the accelerator is not pressed.

What spark plugs does the Volkswagen CC use as original equipment?

Volkswagen CC 2.0T engine originally uses NGK PFR7S8EG spark plugs. Spark plug replacement interval: Under normal maintenance conditions, replacement is recommended at 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers. However, this may vary depending on the brand and engine type. Please refer to your owner's manual for specific recommendations. You can refer to the following maintenance standards: Platinum spark plugs should be replaced at 40,000 km, ordinary nickel alloy spark plugs at 20,000 km, and iridium spark plugs at 60,000-80,000 km. Effects of faulty spark plugs: Damaged spark plugs can directly cause multiple issues including ignition system leakage, increased fuel consumption, and reduced power output. The most significant problem is difficulty starting, which affects normal vehicle operation. Severe spark plug erosion - including tip scarring, electrode damage or melting - indicates the spark plug needs replacement. Symptoms of faulty spark plugs in a car: Damaged spark plugs may cause the following conditions: difficulty starting, reduced power, excessive exhaust emissions, and increased fuel consumption.

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.
