First, start the vehicle. At this point, you can see a button at the lower right of the car's dashboard. Then, press and hold the adjustment button without releasing it. Release your hand and perform short presses until you reach the desired time setting. After adjusting the hours, releasing the button will automatically switch to the minutes setting. The operation method is the same: short press the same button, and release it once you reach the desired minutes setting.

When driving my 2015 BYD F3, I found setting the time is actually quite simple. First, you need to start the car's engine, then locate and hold the MODE button on the audio panel for about three seconds without releasing it - this will bring up the setup menu. Next, use the control knob to select the clock option, then rotate it to adjust the hours and minutes before confirming. Remember to perform this operation when the car is stationary to avoid accidental touches. Having accurate time settings is crucial for driving, as it ensures GPS navigation and trip recording function properly. I once forgot to reset the time after a battery replacement, causing chaotic GPS jumps which was quite troublesome. Now I've developed a habit of checking every few months, since incorrect electronic system time can affect the vehicle's entire recording functionality. This operation isn't complicated, but take it step by step to avoid mistakes - no need to rush.

What tires are suitable for the Bora?

The Bora is suitable for Hankook or Kumho tires. The base model of the Volkswagen Bora comes with 195/65R15 tires, while other models are equipped with multi-spoke silver alloy wheels and 205/55R16 tires. The top model can be fitted with optional multi-spoke aluminum alloy wheels and 225/45R17 Kumho tires. Tire usage precautions: 1. Avoid aggressive starts; both empty and loaded vehicles should start smoothly at low speeds to prevent tire drag and reduce tread wear. 2. On good roads, drive straight ahead and avoid swerving or sharp turns except when passing or avoiding obstacles to prevent lateral cutting damage between the tire and rim. 3. When descending long slopes, control the speed appropriately based on the slope's gradient, length, and road conditions. On long, steep, or complex roads, use engine braking and gentle braking to control speed, which not only avoids emergency braking and reduces tire wear but also ensures safe driving. 4. When climbing slopes, utilize inertia, shift gears timely, and maintain sufficient power to avoid stopping and restarting, thereby reducing tire wear.

Can Perfume Be Kept in the Car?

Perfume should not be kept in the car because it contains alcohol, which is flammable. During the hot and dry summer months, there is a higher risk of fire. Items prohibited in the car: Lighters should not be kept in the car as they contain flammable liquid gas. Perfume bottles should not be placed in the car either, as the evaporated gas from perfume is also flammable. The area on the car dashboard where perfume bottles are placed has the highest gas concentration, and this spot is directly exposed to sunlight, which can potentially lead to an explosion when the temperature reaches a certain level. Carbonated drinks should not be kept in the car. Paper towels should not be placed on the dashboard, as the sunlight refracted through the windshield in summer may cause them to catch fire. Impact of keeping perfume in the car: During the hot and dry summer months, there is a higher risk of fire, especially if the air conditioning is on and the windows are closed, turning the car into a confined space where explosion accidents are more likely. The area on the car dashboard where perfume bottles are placed has the highest gas concentration, and this spot is directly exposed to sunlight, which can potentially lead to an explosion when the temperature reaches a certain level.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Volvo XC60 in liters?

The fuel tank capacity of the Volvo XC60 is 70 liters, as officially announced. Owners who have purchased the Volvo XC60 can also check this information on the vehicle's configuration sheet. The recommended fuel grade for the Volvo XC60 is 95 octane, with a fuel consumption of 7.0-7.4L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of approximately 946-1000km. During daily driving, it is essential to monitor the remaining fuel level in the tank. This is typically observed through the fuel gauge inside the vehicle. Under normal circumstances, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge usually has 5 to 6 segments, and it is advisable to refuel when only 2 segments remain to avoid running out of fuel mid-journey. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel added may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the manufacturer's specified tank capacity is measured from the bottom of the tank to a safe fill level, leaving some space between the safe fill level and the tank opening. This space ensures that the fuel can expand due to temperature increases without overflowing. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.

How to Find Reference Points for Reverse Parking?

Stopping point after the car enters the parking space: After the vehicle enters the parking space, observe the left rearview mirror and the edge line of the parking space entrance. When the lower edge of the left rearview mirror aligns with the edge line of the parking space entrance, and when the edge line is just about to disappear from view under the left rearview mirror, press the clutch and brake to stop, completing the reverse parking. The methods for finding reference points in Subject 2 are as follows: 1. Point for turning the steering wheel fully to the right: When the left rearview mirror aligns with the starting line (usually indicated by the instructor), immediately turn the steering wheel fully to the right. 2. Point for straightening the steering wheel: As the car is about to enter the parking space, when the car is nearly parallel to the edge line of the parking space, straighten the steering wheel. 3. Stopping point after the car enters the parking space: After the vehicle enters the parking space, observe the left rearview mirror and the edge line of the parking space entrance. When the lower edge of the left rearview mirror aligns with the edge line of the parking space entrance, and when the edge line is just about to disappear from view under the left rearview mirror, press the clutch and brake to stop, completing the reverse parking.

What is the equivalent of Euro III emission standard in China?

Automotive Euro III is equivalent to China's National III emission standard. Below is an introduction to the National III emission standard: 1. The National III standard is China's third-stage vehicle emission standard, which is equivalent to the Euro III emission standard in terms of tailpipe pollutant levels. The key difference is that new vehicles must be equipped with an OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) system. 2. The characteristic of the OBD system lies in the increased number of detection points and detection systems. Oxygen sensors are installed at both the inlet and outlet of the three-way catalytic converter, ensuring compliance through real-time monitoring of vehicle emissions, thereby better guaranteeing the implementation of the Euro III emission standard. 3. When vehicle emissions fail to meet the Euro III standard due to factors like fuel quality, implementing the National III standard will increase the cost per vehicle. To stably meet the National III emission standards, vehicles must be equipped with technical measures that ensure pollutant emissions meet the National III standard, along with using fuel that meets the Euro III standard. 4. There is not much difference between National III and Euro III standards; they are essentially equivalent with only minor adjustments in certain aspects. In China, segmented measurement of exhaust emissions is adopted, measuring under two conditions: 2540 and 5040, whereas abroad, instantaneous engine operating conditions are measured.
