Methods for charging an electric vehicle: First, plug in the battery connector, then plug in the power source connector. Always use a dedicated charger for charging an electric vehicle. During charging, the charger may heat up quickly and reach high temperatures, especially in summer. Avoid placing the charger on objects prone to heat or combustion, or on the seat of the electric vehicle to prevent fire hazards. It is advisable to charge the vehicle promptly based on usage. Importantly, never wait until the battery is completely drained before charging. Currently, electric vehicles use two types of batteries: lead-acid batteries and lithium-ion batteries. If the electric vehicle uses a lead-acid battery, the first five charges should be performed when the remaining battery level is between 30% to 40%, and the charging time should ideally be controlled to around 10 hours. For electric vehicles with lithium-ion batteries, it is recommended to fully discharge the battery before the first three charges, with the charging time also controlled to around 10 hours. The number of full charge-discharge cycles for an electric vehicle battery is approximately 300. With regular maintenance during daily use, the battery's lifespan can extend beyond 3 years.

What Causes a Car's Power to Decrease?

Here are the specific reasons for a car's power decrease: 1. Clogged three-way catalytic converter. A clogged three-way catalytic converter can cause poor exhaust flow, reduced power, increased fuel consumption, and in severe cases, engine shaking or even stalling. 2. Dirty air filter. A dirty air filter can result in insufficient air intake, leading to decreased car power and increased fuel consumption, and can easily cause a dirty throttle body and carbon buildup. 3. Faulty spark plugs. Faulty spark plugs can cause car idle shaking, noticeable power decrease, increased fuel consumption, and may lead to a series of symptoms of engine misfiring (such as backfiring, black smoke from exhaust, severe vibration, etc.). 4. Carbon buildup on fuel injectors. Carbon buildup on fuel injectors can cause insufficient car power, idle shaking, difficulty starting, and increased fuel consumption. The main reasons for clogged fuel injectors are carbon deposits from the engine accumulating on the injectors or impurities in the gasoline blocking the injectors. 5. Carbon buildup on the throttle body. Carbon buildup is the main factor affecting the throttle body's operation. Not cleaning the throttle body for a long time can cause errors in the throttle opening and allow air with impurities to enter the engine cylinders, leading to abnormal engine operation.

What to Do If the Car Maintenance Manual Is Lost?

If the car was purchased from an authorized 4S dealership, the purchase information is usually recorded in the manufacturer's connected system. The maintenance manual can be reissued by searching with the vehicle's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). Here is an introduction to the car maintenance manual: 1. Maintenance Service Manual: It mainly includes maintenance for the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc. 2. Vehicle Maintenance: It emphasizes "70% maintenance, 30% repair," meaning that during the entire lifespan of the vehicle, regular inspections and periodic maintenance should be carried out to detect and resolve issues early, achieving the goal of maintenance over repair, and even avoiding major repairs throughout the vehicle's life.

How to Master Distance Without a Rear Parking Sensor?

Here are methods to master distance without a rear parking sensor: 1. If the rear object is a car: When the rearview mirror almost obscures the engine hood of the car behind, it indicates the rear of your car is 30-50 cm away. At this point, slow down and prepare to stop. 2. If there's a parallel parked car nearby while reversing: Use this car as a reference. When your side mirrors align with the reference car's side mirrors during slow reversing, it's time to stop. 3. If the rear is a wall: Visually locate a point about 1 meter high on the wall. Slowly reverse until the rear of your car aligns with this point in the rearview mirror, indicating a distance of about 40-50 cm from the wall. Stop at this point. 4. For nighttime: Use brake lights as a guide. Observe the taillight convergence in the side mirrors. Generally, the closer the car is to the wall, the more the light spreads. When the brake lights appear as wide as the car body, it means the rear is close to the wall, and you should stop.

Is it easy to repair a transmission that is leaking oil after being hit by a stone?

Whether a transmission is easy to repair after being hit by a stone and leaking oil depends on the extent of the collision. Here is an introduction to the situation of a transmission leaking oil after being hit by a stone: 1. Check for external oil leaks: Pay special attention to whether there is oil leakage at the front and rear crankshaft oil seals. A broken, damaged, or aged front crankshaft oil seal, or wear on the contact surface between the crankshaft pulley and the oil seal, can cause oil leakage at the front of the crankshaft. A broken or damaged rear crankshaft oil seal or an excessively small oil return hole in the rear main bearing cap that obstructs oil return can cause oil leakage at the rear of the crankshaft. 2. Oil leakage at the front and rear oil seals: If there is oil seepage in multiple areas such as the front and rear valve covers, front and rear valve lifter chambers, oil filter, and oil pan gasket, but no obvious oil leak can be found, check the crankcase ventilation system. Clean the crankcase ventilation pipes and check if the PCV valve is malfunctioning due to carbon buildup and sticking. 3. Oil pressure: If the oil filter and some oil pipe connections still leak after tightening, check whether the oil pressure is too high and whether the oil pressure relief valve is malfunctioning.

What does the automotive TCU mean?

Automotive TCU refers to the automatic transmission control system, which utilizes computer and power electronics drive technology to achieve vehicle automatic gear shifting. It can eliminate differences in driver shifting techniques, reduce driver workload, and improve driving safety and fuel efficiency. The automotive TCU consists of a 16-bit or 32-bit processor, signal processing circuits, power drive modules, etc. Types of automotive TCUs include CVT transmissions, dual-clutch transmissions, AT transmissions, and AMT transmissions. The automotive TCU is a mechanical or hydraulic device that performs mechanical power conversion and is one of the main components of the vehicle's transmission system.

Why Won't the Mercedes Windshield Washer Spray?

Reasons why the Mercedes windshield washer won't spray are as follows: 1. If the Mercedes washer isn't spraying, first check if the pump motor is working. If not, inspect whether the fuse is blown, if the wiring connections are secure, or if the pump motor itself is burnt out. 2. Check if the water hose is cracked, if connections have come loose, or if the nozzles are clogged. Cracked hoses need replacement, loose connections should be reattached, and clogged nozzles can be cleared with thin wire. 3. If the reservoir has water and the motor is working, you can disconnect the hose below the nozzle and activate the washer switch. If water sprays from the hose, the nozzle is clogged and can be cleared with thin wire.
