New cars must undergo a break-in period. Below are relevant materials about the break-in period for new cars: 1. A newly purchased car requires a break-in period. The quality of the break-in will significantly impact the vehicle's lifespan, safety, and fuel efficiency. 2. The most critical aspect during the break-in period is limiting the engine's RPM. Excessive RPM during this period increases the risk of damaging the piston rings. 3. The break-in period is divided into three stages: initial, middle, and final: 1. Initial stage: Generally, the maximum speed should be controlled around 40km/h. 2. Middle stage: Under good road conditions, the maximum speed can be increased to 60km/h. 3. Final stage: The speed can then be raised to approximately 80km/h. Maintain moderate speeds during the break-in period—neither too high nor too low, as excessively low speeds will increase fuel consumption.

How to Remove Fog from the Outside of Car Windows on Rainy Summer Days?

Park the car, turn on the air conditioning, adjust the temperature control knob to the warm air direction, press the defrost button, and use warm air to dry the fog on the windshield. Before each use, spray evenly on the window and wipe it clean to form a transparent protective film on the glass to prevent fog formation. You can open a small gap in the windows on both sides to allow the air inside the car to circulate, gradually bringing the interior temperature closer to the outside temperature, which will help the fog dissipate.

How to Rest in the Car with Air Conditioning in Summer?

After getting into the car, first open the windows for ventilation. If the car has been exposed to the sun, do not start the engine immediately. Instead, open all four doors to allow toxic gases to dissipate. After starting the vehicle, turn on the fan but do not activate the air conditioning (do not press the A/C button). Let the fan blow out the contaminated air from the air conditioning system. After running the fan for natural air for 5 minutes, press the air conditioning button to turn on the cooling function. Keep the windows open during this process. To cool the car quickly, switch the circulation mode to "internal circulation."

How to Deal with Foggy Windows on Rainy Summer Days?

If the fog is not heavy and the outside temperature is not very cold, you can slightly open both side windows to allow the interior temperature to gradually match the outside temperature, which will help dissipate the fog. Use specialized anti-fog products; one application can prevent fogging for ten to fifteen days. Turn on the air conditioning in cooling mode, and the cold air will blow towards the windshield to clear the fog. When defogging, you can switch the air conditioning to external circulation to allow outside air into the cabin.

How to Turn on the Air Conditioning in Wuling Hongguang?

Turn the car key to start the engine and let it idle. Rotate the fan speed switch to the right to increase the airflow. Turn the temperature knob to the left, towards the blue zone. Press the A/C button to activate the compressor, and cold air will blow from the vents. Run the engine until the water temperature reaches 90 degrees Celsius, then turn the temperature knob to the right. The right knob controls the airflow volume, which increases when turned clockwise. Turn the airflow knob all the way to the right and press the recirculation button to enable air recirculation inside the car.

What Causes a New Car's Fuse to Blow?

There are two main reasons: excessive electrical load or a short circuit in the car's wiring. Primary causes of excessive electrical load: Unauthorized modifications such as upgrading headlights, installing aftermarket audio systems, using low-quality cigarette lighter adapters, or connecting high-power devices to the cigarette lighter. Therefore, it is advised that car owners should understand the original equipment's power rating and X-load capacity before making any electrical modifications. For instance, installing headlights with higher wattage than the factory specifications may cause the fuse to blow. Daily maintenance tips: Avoid directly washing the engine bay with a hose to prevent short circuits in the fuse box and wiring. Additionally, visually inspect for any exposed metal wires due to deteriorated insulation that could cause a short circuit. When cleaning the interior, be careful not to disturb wires concealed under the floor mats.

Is It Normal for a Motorcycle's Auxiliary Water Tank to Have No Water?

It is not normal for a motorcycle's auxiliary water tank to have no water. Reasons why it is abnormal: When the water tank is empty, the cooling effect of the engine is significantly reduced, which can easily lead to overheating and subsequent engine damage. It is necessary to add water promptly before continuing to ride. The auxiliary water tank is essentially a supplement to the main water tank. The main water tank generates a certain amount of pressure due to temperature fluctuations, and the auxiliary water tank helps regulate this pressure. The main functions of a car's auxiliary water tank are: When the engine temperature rises, the liquid expands, causing some of the coolant to flow into the auxiliary water tank through the radiator cap. When the temperature drops and the cooling system pressure becomes negative, the system draws the coolant from the auxiliary water tank back into the cooling system via the radiator cap. Additionally, the auxiliary water tank has corresponding markings indicating the liquid level, allowing for a clear visual representation of the current water level in the tank.
