I've disassembled the K5's center console twice myself. First, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to prevent short circuits. Start with the triangular trim panels on both sides of the dashboard, using a plastic pry tool to gently pry along the seams—there are clips underneath, so don't force it. Next, remove the air vent panel, which has hidden T20 screws that need to be unscrewed. Then, tackle the main infotainment screen—its frame has double-sided tape that requires a heat gun to soften before slowly peeling it off. Remember to organize all removed parts in order and take photos of wire harness connectors for reference; otherwise, reassembly will be confusing. It's best to prepare some new clips as backups, as older car plastic parts tend to break. The whole process takes about two hours. Beginners are advised to follow along with tutorial videos.

How many liters of antifreeze does the Lamando require?

The Lamando requires 2 liters of antifreeze. The antifreeze reservoir has both a MAX (maximum level) and MIN (minimum level) marking. The antifreeze should be filled to a level between the MAX and MIN marks. The full name of antifreeze is antifreeze coolant, which means it is a coolant with antifreeze properties. It prevents the coolant from freezing and expanding in cold winter conditions, which could otherwise crack the radiator or damage the engine block or cylinder head. Taking the 2021 Lamando as an example, its body dimensions are 4615mm in length, 1826mm in width, and 1425mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2656mm.

What does 150 horsepower mean for a car?

150 horsepower is equivalent to 110KW of power. Horsepower is the unit name for calculating metric horsepower. 1 horsepower is the work done to complete 75 kilogram-force/meter in 1 second. 1 metric horsepower = 75 kilogram-force/meter = 735.49875 watts (1Ps=735.49875w). Horses are counted in "heads", so "horsepower" can also be replaced by "head", that is, 1 head = 1 horsepower. Relevant information about fuel consumption is as follows: 1. Introduction: Fuel consumption generally refers to constant-speed fuel consumption, which is the vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers obtained in the constant-speed driving fuel consumption test specified by national standards for certain types of vehicles. 2. Testing method: The test can be conducted on the road or on a chassis dynamometer, and then the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is obtained through the "flow meter method" or "carbon balance method".
