As a long-time SUV owner, folding down the rear seats of the GAC GS8 is straightforward and intuitive. First, go to the rear seats and look for the pull handle or button at the top of the seatback, usually hidden near the shoulder area. Gently pull or press the release mechanism while pushing the seatback forward with your hand, and the seat will smoothly fold down. The GS8 features a 60/40 split design, meaning you can fold down one side while keeping the other side upright for passengers—super practical. For example, when transporting furniture or camping gear, the space expands instantly, allowing me to fit in a bicycle or large suitcase. A quick tip: slightly move the front seats forward to create some clearance, making the folding process smoother. After folding, always check if the seat is securely locked in place by giving it a gentle push and listening for the click sound to ensure it won’t wobble or bounce back while driving. For maintenance, avoid placing heavy items on the folded seats to prevent hinge wear. This feature is incredibly handy for daily use and makes traveling much more convenient. Overall, the design is well-thought-out, the motion is fluid, and once you try it, you’ll appreciate its convenience.

How to Use Brake Fluid?

Brake fluid usage method is: For different types of brake fluid, they cannot be mixed together, as this will reduce the braking effect of the car. Do not mix gasoline, diesel, or engine oil into the brake fluid. Car brake fluid is the liquid used in hydraulic brake systems, which must not cause chemical reactions, be unaffected by high temperatures, and not cause corrosion, softening, or expansion to metals and rubber. The volume of brake fluid changes with temperature, so the brake fluid reservoir is equipped with a vent hole. The air drawn in through this hole contains moisture or impurities, and the moisture will be absorbed or dissolved by the brake fluid. Therefore, brake fluid containing moisture will have a lower boiling point.

Why Does the Exhaust Pipe of a New Car Rust?

After being subjected to high-temperature baking, the exhaust pipe of a new car is prone to oxidation and rust. Here are specific maintenance methods for the exhaust pipe: 1. Waterproof: When driving in the rain or going to a car wash, be careful to prevent water from entering the muffler, which can cause rust and affect the exhaust pipe's performance. 2. Rust prevention: Remove the muffler, block the drain hole, add rust-proof oil, and ensure it spreads evenly inside the cylinder before reinstalling the muffler. 3. Cleaning: The exhaust pipe is often exposed to the outside, similar to the car's interior. Accumulated dirt inside can affect normal usage, so it's important to clean the exhaust pipe regularly.

What is a Coilover Suspension?

Coilover suspension refers to height-adjustable shock absorbers that allow modification of the ground clearance at all four corners of a vehicle. A coilover shock absorber features threaded components on its body, enabling users to set the vehicle's preload according to personal preferences. The threads on the shock absorber are specifically designed to adjust spring stiffness, thereby configuring the preload. There are primarily two height adjustment methods for coilovers: body-only adjustment and full-length adjustment. Body-only adjustable coilovers feature a single adjustment point at the spring perch, whereas full-length adjustable coilovers offer two adjustment points: the spring perch and the lower mount adjustment ring that surrounds the shock absorber body.
