Minor scratches and dents on a new car are not a good omen. Here are some precautions for using a new car: 1. Preheating the cold engine: Proper preheating helps form an "oil film" between engine components, thereby reducing wear and tear. 2. Timely gear shifting while driving: When driving a manual transmission car during the break-in period, shift gears promptly and appropriately to avoid incorrect behaviors such as high gear with low RPM or low gear with high RPM. Also, avoid using a single gear for an extended period. 3. Timely maintenance: Simply follow the manufacturer's recommendations in the vehicle manual. After reaching a certain mileage or time, promptly conduct vehicle inspections and maintenance, including oil and oil filter changes, along with a comprehensive check of the chassis system. 4. Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking not only shocks the braking system during the break-in period but also increases the impact load on the vehicle's chassis and engine.

Is a Fuel Consumption of 6.8 Considered High?

A fuel consumption of 6.8L per 100 kilometers is not considered high. For a 2.0L vehicle, this consumption rate is very low; for a 1.6L vehicle, it is also considered low. As for vehicles with around 1.4L engines, a fuel consumption of 5-6L is generally regarded as fuel-efficient, so 6.8L is not high. Below are some reasons for high fuel consumption: 1. Improper driving habits: Fuel consumption is closely related to the driver's habits, such as idling for long periods without turning off the engine or frequent ignition, aggressive acceleration or frequent braking, driving at high speeds in low gears or low speeds in high gears, etc. These habits significantly contribute to increased fuel consumption. 2. Abnormal tire pressure and tire wear: Low tire pressure increases friction between the tires and the road, leading to greater resistance and higher fuel consumption. The normal tire pressure is around 2.5bar, which can be reduced by 0.1bar in summer. However, tire pressure should not be too high either; it's best to inflate according to the vehicle's standard values. Additionally, severely worn tires can cause frequent slipping, which also increases fuel consumption. 3. Fuel quality and carbon deposits: Many drivers overlook fuel quality. Poor-quality gasoline can lead to increased carbon deposits, which roughen the intake pipe walls, affecting air intake and the quality of the air-fuel mixture, causing a sharp rise in fuel consumption. Therefore, gasoline quality should not be ignored. Regular maintenance at a 4S shop is a forward-looking investment, ensuring normal vehicle performance and saving unnecessary expenses in the long run.

Why does CarPlay only charge but not respond?

CarPlay only charging but not responding could be due to the following reasons: Reason 1: USB debugging is not enabled on the phone. Solution: Restore the phone to factory settings and then reconnect to see if it works. If it still doesn't connect, you may need to visit a 4S store for inspection. Reason 2: The phone's data cable might be damaged or broken. Foreign objects or surface oxidation on the data cable plug or USB plug can also affect CarPlay connection. Solution: Replace the phone's data cable and clean any foreign objects. Reason 3: The contact metal strips in the vehicle's external USB port may not maintain good contact with the USB. Long-term use of the host's USB port can cause loosening, and over time, oxidation may occur, leading to poor internal plug contact. Solution: In this case, try plugging and unplugging the cable's connectors several times. If the issue persists, the USB port may need to be replaced. Reason 4: There might be an issue with the vehicle's host system. Solution: Restore the vehicle's host system to factory settings. Note that before restoring, ensure to back up important system information to avoid file loss during the process. Reason 5: There could be a problem with CarPlay on the phone. Solution: Turn off the phone and then turn it back on to try again. CarPlay is an in-car system released by Apple Inc., seamlessly integrating users' iOS devices and iOS experience with the dashboard system. CarPlay only supports iPhones with a Lightning interface. Although iPads now support this interface, Apple has not included iPads as CarPlay-supported hardware devices.
