Methods for breaking in an automatic transmission car: 1. The break-in mileage is generally 500 kilometers, and the speed should not be too fast, maintained at 60 to 70 kilometers per hour, with the engine speed not exceeding 2,200 rpm; 2. During the mid-term of the break-in period from 500 to 1,000 kilometers, the speed can be increased to 90 to 100 kilometers per hour, with the engine speed below 2,500 rpm; 3. From 1,000 to 1,500 kilometers, which is the mid-to-late stage of the break-in period, the speed can be increased to below 120 kilometers per hour, with the engine speed not exceeding 3,000 rpm; 4. During the break-in period, each time you insert the key, turn it to the second position and wait for 10 seconds before starting the engine. This allows sufficient time for the internal oil pressure and fuel injection volume to adjust, ensuring better coordination of the engine components.

How to Operate Cruise Control?

Cruise control operation method is as follows: After the system is activated, when the car reaches the desired speed, press the SET button to maintain that speed continuously. Below are the precautions for using cruise control: 1. Pay attention to road conditions: Do not use the speed control system when driving on roads with heavy traffic or poor road surfaces (such as slippery roads, loose gravel roads, or roads after heavy rain); 2. Avoid pressing the clutch: After the system is turned on and the speed exceeds 40 km/h, do not press the clutch pedal or shift the gear lever into neutral, as this may cause the engine to over-rev and result in damage.

Why Are Coaxial Speakers Used for Car Rear Doors?

Car rear doors are equipped with coaxial speakers because they can save the need for an additional tweeter. A coaxial speaker is a type of speaker that combines both tweeter and woofer functions, featuring two speakers mounted on the same axis—one responsible for reproducing high frequencies and the other for mid-low frequencies. Additionally, the diaphragms of these two speakers must overlap. Due to their physical positioning being nearly at the same point, they effectively resolve phase deviation issues. Extension: Speakers serve as the audio signaling devices in cars. During driving, the driver can emit necessary sound signals as required or mandated to warn pedestrians and alert other vehicles, ensuring traffic safety. They are also used for urging movement and transmitting signals.

How many kilometers can a car run continuously without resting?

There are no strict regulations domestically, but some European countries mandate that drivers must take a break after driving continuously for 4 hours. As for the car itself, unless participating in a 24-hour endurance race, it generally doesn't require much rest. During breaks, special attention should be paid to the tires. Of course, maintaining an adequate fuel level is also important. Precautions during the break-in period of a new car include: 1. Warm up the car before starting: Wait 5 to 10 seconds after engaging second gear before starting; 2. Avoid high-speed driving: New cars have speed limits during the break-in period, with domestic cars limited to 40 to 70 km/h and imported cars to 100 km/h; 3. Avoid overloading: Carrying too much weight during the break-in period can damage mechanical components; 4. Avoid removing the speed limiter prematurely: The speed limiter is a throttle device installed between the carburetor and the intake pipe, and should not be removed until after running 1000 kilometers; 5. Avoid changing the oil too early: The initial oil used in a new car is specifically for the break-in period, featuring low viscosity, good heat dissipation, and excellent oxidation resistance; 6. Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking not only shocks the braking system during the break-in period but also increases the impact load on the chassis and engine.

How to deal with ETC malfunction?

Check if the OBU (On-Board Unit) fixed on the front windshield of the car has fallen off. If it falls off, the anti-tamper button on the back of the OBU will reset, and you need to go to the ETC card service point for reactivation. Additional information: 1. ETC (Electronic-Toll-Collection), translated as Electronic Toll Collection in Chinese, is an automatic toll collection system for highways or bridges. 2. The ETC system uses automatic vehicle identification technology to complete wireless data communication between the vehicle and the toll station, enabling automatic vehicle recognition and exchange of relevant toll data. 3. The ETC system performs wireless communication and information exchange between the on-board device installed on the vehicle and the antenna installed on the toll station lane. When the vehicle passes through the toll station, the loop sensor detects the vehicle, the RSU sends an interrogation signal, the OBU responds, and two-way communication and data exchange take place.

Can the Rearview Mirror Glass Be Replaced Separately?

The rearview mirror glass can be replaced separately if it is broken. Below are the methods for adjusting the rearview mirror angles: 1. Adjusting the left rearview mirror: For the up and down positions, place the distant horizon in the center, and for the left and right positions, adjust so that the car body occupies 1/4 of the mirror's range. Key points for adjusting the left rearview mirror: Place the horizon at the midline of the rearview mirror, then adjust the edge of the car body to occupy 1/4 of the mirror's image. 2. Adjusting the right rearview mirror: Since the driver's seat is on the left, it is more difficult for the driver to grasp the situation on the right side of the car. Additionally, due to the need for roadside parking sometimes, the ground area should occupy a larger portion when adjusting the up and down positions of the right rearview mirror, about 2/3 of the mirror. As for the left and right positions, adjust so that the car body occupies 1/4 of the mirror's area. Key points for adjusting the right rearview mirror: Place the horizon at the 2/3 position of the rearview mirror, then adjust the edge of the car body to occupy 1/4 of the mirror's image.
