When the line of sight passes through the right wiper and intersects with the target, the tire will run over that target. When driving 60 centimeters away from the roadside on the right side, when the right washer overlaps with the roadside target, the car body is still 60 centimeters away from the roadside.

Finding the center point of the car's front end inside the vehicle is a technique I practice often, especially useful for urban parking. I usually sit upright in the driver's seat, adjust my position for a comfortable posture, and then look for a feature on the hood aligned with the center point of the steering wheel, such as a small logo or edge line on the hood. Height can affect the reference point, so it's recommended to practice in a safe area, like an empty parking lot, by slowly approaching a cone and aligning it a few times. Don't treat the point as absolutely precise, as vehicle design or road tilt can cause deviations; when actually driving, always check blind spots with rearview mirrors and backup cameras to ensure safety. Finding the center point can prevent scraping in narrow entrances and save time. It took me a few weeks of consistent practice to understand my car's characteristics.

What to Prepare for the First Maintenance?

Items required for the first maintenance include: driver's license; maintenance manual; warranty manual; vehicle owner's ID card; vehicle registration certificate; vehicle purchase invoice. Take these to the designated first maintenance facility for the vehicle's initial service. Important note: Schedule an appointment with the 4S store in advance. The first maintenance refers to the initial service after a new car has been driven. The specific timing varies by vehicle, generally around 5,000 kilometers or six months. It's crucial to attend the first maintenance on time, neither early nor late. Completing the first maintenance signifies the end of the vehicle's break-in period, allowing it to be driven under standard load and normal speed as required by the manufacturer. The first maintenance period is calculated from the date of vehicle pickup, with two indicators: mileage and time. Whichever comes first serves as the standard. First maintenance tasks include: changing the engine oil and oil filter, cleaning the air filter, checking various fluid levels, inspecting the generator belt and wiper blades for damage, checking tire pressure, and examining tires for damage or bulges. Estimated time: Completing all tasks takes approximately 2 hours. The most critical aspect of a new car's first maintenance is changing the engine oil and oil filter. When replacing the oil, the oil filter must also be changed. The choice of engine oil should refer to the "Vehicle User Maintenance Manual," as different vehicle models require different oil specifications. Maintenance precautions: Do not rinse the interior of the car with water: Many people clean their cars during holidays, washing the body with water and wiping it with a cloth. It's important to note that the car's interior should not be directly washed with water. If floor mats are dirty, use a vacuum cleaner or remove them to scrub with a brush and detergent, then dry before replacing. The rubber mats under the driver's floor have many drainage holes. Water entering these areas won't dry naturally but will flow through the holes, potentially causing corrosion in the transmission and other parts. The best practice is to vacuum clean and then wipe with a cloth to prevent water accumulation. Do not mix different brands of antifreeze: If the car's antifreeze level is low, it's advisable to drain the existing antifreeze and refill with the same brand. Different brands of antifreeze have varying chemical properties, and mixing them can lead to corrosion due to incompatible additives. Always use the same brand to avoid unnecessary issues. Do not lubricate wheel bolts and nuts: When bolts on a moving car rust, they are often oiled to restore functionality. However, applying lubricant to wheel bolts and nuts can pose safety risks. At high speeds, lubricated bolts and nuts may loosen or even fall off, leading to driving hazards. Do not press the accelerator when starting an EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) car: EFI vehicles differ from conventional cars, as their fuel injection control system automatically adjusts fuel supply based on engine temperature and operating conditions, ensuring smooth starting without pressing the accelerator.

Where is the rearview mirror heating button on the Lynk & Co 03?

The rearview mirror heating button on the Lynk & Co 03 is located below the vehicle's central control screen, within the air conditioning control area. It is the last button among the four buttons in the air conditioning control area, featuring an icon with a rectangle and three curved lines with arrows extending from the bottom to the top. It can be used when the vehicle is powered on, and when activated, it simultaneously turns on the rear window heating function. The rearview mirror heating is particularly useful during rainy or snowy weather. When activated, the heater behind the mirror quickly warms the mirror surface, gradually removing rainwater or fog, eliminating the need for the driver to manually wipe the mirrors frequently, thereby reducing driving hazards. How to use the rearview mirror heating function: The rearview mirror heating function generally has two activation methods. One is combined with the electric rearview mirror adjustment button, where rotating the knob activates it. The other is located on the air conditioning control panel, where pressing the heating button activates it. There is no need to manually adjust the angle, as the driver's side has adjustment buttons. Principle of the rearview mirror heating function: After pressing the button, the electric heater behind the rearview mirror glass rapidly heats up to a fixed temperature within a few minutes, typically between 35-60 degrees Celsius. The heat will dissipate from the left and right rearview mirrors. Simultaneously, as the temperature rises and evaporates, water droplets on the mirror surface will become smaller, and fog will gradually disappear, thereby heating the mirror and removing frost. If the rain is particularly heavy, its effectiveness may decrease, and the impact may not be as noticeable. Precautions for using the rearview mirror heating function: The principle of rearview mirror heating involves adding electric heating wires to the rearview mirror. These wires consume a significant amount of electricity. When using the rearview mirror heating function, ensure the car is in a running state. Avoid activating the function while the car is stationary to prevent draining the car battery, which could lead to insufficient power for starting the vehicle. Other methods for defogging rearview mirrors include: Opening windows for air convection: Crack open the windows on both sides to allow air to flow between the inside and outside of the car, reducing the temperature difference and causing the fog to gradually disappear. Adjusting the car's air conditioning to the appropriate setting can also use the hot air blown by the air conditioning to defog the mirrors.

What is the difference between China 5 and China 6?

The differences between China 5 and China 6 emission standards are as follows: Different emission standards: China 6 emission standards are more than 30% stricter than China 5. Excluding the influence of driving conditions and testing, gasoline vehicles' carbon monoxide emissions are reduced by 50%, total hydrocarbons and non-methane hydrocarbons emissions are reduced by 50%, and nitrogen oxide emissions are reduced by 42%. Different implementation times: The China 5 standard was implemented nationwide on January 1, 2017, as the fifth stage of national motor vehicle emission standards. China 6 was implemented starting from July 1, 2019. Different principles: During the China 5 stage, diesel and gasoline vehicles had different emission standards, but China 6 adopts a fuel-neutral principle, meaning that regardless of the fuel type, the emission limits are the same. Different issuing departments: The China 5 standard was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, while the China 6 standard was issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection, and Quarantine. Different letter representations: China 5 is represented by 'V,' and China 6 is represented by 'VI.' Different monitoring requirements for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles: Compared to China 5, China 6 has improved monitoring requirements for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, including energy storage systems, thermal management systems, brake regeneration, drive motors, generators, and other regulations. China 5 standard limits are as follows: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 1,000 mg of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 68 mg of non-methane hydrocarbons per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 60 mg of nitrogen oxides per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 4.5 mg of PM fine particles per kilometer driven. China 6 has two standards: China 6a and China 6b. They are as follows: China 6a standard limits: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 700 mg of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 68 mg of non-methane hydrocarbons per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 60 mg of nitrogen oxides per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 4.5 mg of PM fine particles per kilometer driven. China 6b standard limits: Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 500 mg of carbon monoxide per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 35 mg of non-methane hydrocarbons per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 35 mg of nitrogen oxides per kilometer driven. Gasoline vehicles must not emit more than 3 mg of PM fine particles per kilometer driven. Affected by the China 6 emission policy, although China 5 vehicles are not currently restricted from normal use, such as road restrictions or license plate limitations, their resale value will be significantly impacted. For truck owners, if they purchase a truck on loan for freight transport, the depreciation of the vehicle after paying off the loan is equivalent to the net profit earned during that period. A higher residual value means more profit for the owner. Therefore, from this perspective, China 6 vehicles, which have a longer service life and more road rights, offer greater advantages.

What is a Maintenance Battery?

Maintenance batteries are refurbished batteries by manufacturers. Here are the specific details: Nature: Maintenance batteries refer to recycled, repaired, and reused batteries (lower grade), commonly known as refurbished batteries. Warranty: The warranty for maintenance batteries typically ranges from 12 to 15 months. If the battery develops quality issues, the manufacturer will replace it with another set of maintenance batteries. Quality: The quality of maintenance batteries is inferior to that of regular batteries because maintenance batteries are essentially batteries that have been repaired after a second-stage failure. The lead content inside is not purified again, which naturally affects the battery's performance.
