First, download and install the "Baidu Carlife" software on your phone. Open Carlife on both your phone and the car. You can connect via a phone data cable, with one end connected to the phone and the other to the car's USB port. Some cars may also support WiFi connection. Enter Baidu Carlife on your phone (the car should also enter the Carlife connection system). Allow all requested permissions, and the connection should now be successfully established.

What is the penalty for overloading by one person?

5-seater vehicle overloading by one person results in a 6-point deduction. Driving a commercial passenger vehicle exceeding the approved capacity by less than 20%, or driving other passenger vehicles exceeding the approved capacity by more than 20%, will result in a one-time 6-point penalty. Driving a commercial passenger vehicle exceeding the approved capacity by more than 20% will result in a one-time 12-point penalty. Regulations on illegal loading: Road passenger vehicles must not exceed the approved passenger capacity, except for children exempted from tickets according to regulations. When the passenger capacity is full, the number of exempted children must not exceed 10% of the approved passenger capacity. The cargo compartment of a freight vehicle must not carry passengers. On urban roads, freight motor vehicles may carry 1 to 5 temporary workers in the cargo compartment if there is a safe space available. When the height of the cargo exceeds the sides of the compartment, no one is allowed on the cargo. The rear seat of a motorcycle must not carry minors under 12 years old, and light motorcycles must not carry passengers. Consequences of illegal loading: Illegal overloading not only severely damages road and bridge facilities but also easily causes traffic accidents, endangering public safety and property. It also seriously disrupts the transportation market order. Overloaded vehicles are in a state of long-term overloading, with lower safety performance in braking and operation, making them prone to tire blowouts, brake failures, broken leaf springs, and axle fractures, posing serious safety hazards. According to statistics, over 80% of road accidents involving heavy trucks are caused by overloading. Overloading significantly shortens the service life of roads. The load of overloaded vehicles generally far exceeds the designed capacity of roads and bridges, and their frequent use causes road damage and bridge fractures, greatly reducing the normal service life of roads and leading to premature major repairs.

Under what circumstances is a wheel alignment needed?

The following situations require a wheel alignment: 1. Generally, when a vehicle has been driven for 20,000 kilometers or one year (whichever comes first), a wheel alignment must be performed. 2. When driving straight on a flat road and you need to grip the steering wheel tightly to prevent the vehicle from pulling to one side, it indicates that a wheel alignment is needed. 3. When you feel the car body floating or swaying during normal driving, as if turning or driving on rough roads. 4. When one side of the front or rear tires shows particularly severe wear. 5. When the car pulls to the left or right while driving straight. 6. After installing new tires or following repairs due to collision accidents, steering, or suspension system issues. 7. After driving a new car for approximately 3,000 kilometers. Benefits of a wheel alignment: 1. Ensures stable driving performance and enhances driving pleasure. 2. Prevents traffic accidents caused by vehicle misalignment. 3. Reduces tire wear and extends tire lifespan. 4. Decreases fuel consumption by minimizing 'tire scrubbing' during driving. 5. Reduces wear on the vehicle's driving, steering, and suspension systems, extending the lifespan of these components.

What does the car circle 'a' mean?

The displayed 'a' refers to the car's automatic parking system. Here is the relevant information: When this switch is turned on, even if the vehicle is braked to a stop during driving, it will remain in the braking state and will not continue moving until the accelerator is pressed again. The design concept of the automatic start-stop system is primarily a function developed by manufacturers to save gasoline. Cars equipped with this feature can save approximately 10% to 15% of fuel annually. The dashboard light information in the car includes the following names and functions: ① Hazard warning light. This light alerts other vehicles and pedestrians when the vehicle experiences a major malfunction or emergency situation. It is indicated by the simultaneous flashing of all turn signals. ② Battery indicator light. This light primarily indicates the working status of the battery. If it does not light up for a long time or remains lit continuously, promptly check the generator and circuit board for short circuits. ③ Fuel indicator light. This light effectively allows the driver to assess the vehicle's fuel situation. Once the fuel indicator light comes on, it means the vehicle's fuel is about to run out.

Can ECO Mode Be Kept On for a Long Time?

ECO mode can be kept on for a long time in a car. ECO mode, also known as economy mode, is particularly effective in saving fuel when driving in congested urban traffic conditions. When ECO mode is active, the carbon buildup in the engine is roughly the same as in normal driving mode, so ECO mode can be left on continuously. The main principle of ECO mode is not complicated. It involves the ECU control unit comprehensively analyzing and judging factors such as automatic transmission gear shifts, engine speed, vehicle speed, braking, and transmission oil temperature—all of which affect fuel consumption—to calculate the optimal fuel supply for the engine. This effectively reduces fuel consumption compared to normal driving modes. In simple terms, it controls the engine speed with appropriate gear shifts to minimize unnecessary fuel consumption. ECO is an abbreviation, with its Chinese translation representing Ecology (environmental protection), Conservation (energy saving), and Optimization (power). ECO mode is further divided into active ECO driving mode and passive ECO driving mode. When the ECO indicator on the dashboard lights up, it means the vehicle's economy mode is activated. ECO mode can be either active or passive. The difference lies in the fact that active ECO mode has a dedicated button, allowing the driver to choose whether to enable it. When the driver presses the ECO mode switch, the dashboard indicator lights up, and the vehicle automatically adjusts settings such as throttle opening, transmission shift logic, and air conditioning output. Passive ECO mode does not have a dedicated button; when the dashboard ECO indicator lights up, it serves as a reminder. The system automatically evaluates the driver's behavior, and if the current driving operation achieves optimal fuel supply, the ECO indicator will appear on the dashboard. Most cars use active ECO driving mode, meaning they have a dedicated switch button. Therefore, in daily driving, ECO mode can generally be kept on. However, it is unnecessary to activate ECO mode when driving at speeds over 120 km/h, idling, in N/P gear, or in manual mode—especially when climbing hills. In these situations, ECO mode may not demonstrate its fuel-saving benefits and could even affect performance. Additionally, ECO mode usually becomes ineffective under the following conditions: When the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h, the system prioritizes speed, and ECO mode automatically deactivates. When idling or in N/P gear or manual mode, ECO mode may also become ineffective. When high torque output is required, such as when climbing a hill, the engine control unit prioritizes delivering sufficient power to drive the vehicle, and ECO mode will not function.
