Leaving a new car at the 4S shop for more than 10 days is not very safe. Here are some precautions for using a new car: 1. Cold Engine Warm-up: Proper warm-up helps the engine oil form an "oil film" between engine components, thereby reducing wear and tear on the engine parts. 2. Timely Gear Shifting: When driving a manual transmission car during the break-in period, shift gears promptly and appropriately. Avoid incorrect behaviors like high gear with low RPM or low gear with high RPM, and do not use 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 changing the engine oil and oil filter, and perform 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.

How to Remove Odors from a New BMW X1?

New BMW X1 vehicles can have odors removed through the following methods: 1. Promptly remove the protective plastic film. New cars typically come with plastic protective films covering the interior, seats, and other components to maintain freshness. These films should be removed as soon as possible because they contribute to odors by trapping the natural scents of the seats, preventing effective odor elimination. 2. Increase ventilation. Ensure proper air circulation inside the car by opening the windows. If necessary, open the doors to facilitate air exchange between the interior and exterior. While driving, try to keep the windows open when conditions allow. 3. Use an onboard air purifier. Equipped with active purification features, an onboard air purifier can quickly absorb harmful air and release purified air. For new cars, it's especially effective to run the air purifier for a while after starting the vehicle before allowing passengers inside. 4. Use activated charcoal to eliminate interior odors.

Does fast charging affect the lifespan of electric vehicle batteries?

Impact of fast charging on electric vehicle batteries: 1. Fast charging reduces charging time by increasing charging voltage and current, with typical fast charging stations delivering 60-90kW of power. 2. Excessive charging voltage can impair the battery's reduction capability, significantly affecting its lifespan. Additionally, it may cause rapid temperature rise, potentially leading to thermal runaway and explosion, posing serious safety risks. 3. Both fast and slow charging cause battery degradation since battery lifespan is closely tied to charge cycles. With power battery warranties covering 8 years or 120,000 km, normal usage within warranty periods typically won't result in premature lifespan termination or combustion incidents due to charging.

What is the difference between front parking sensors and rear parking sensors?

The differences between front parking sensors and rear parking sensors are: 1. Different installation locations: Front parking sensors are installed on the front bumper; rear parking sensors are installed on the rear bumper. 2. Different purposes: Front parking sensors can detect obstacles below the bumper that are difficult for the driver to see from inside the car; rear parking sensors can detect objects behind the car and the buzzer will sound a warning. Parking sensors, also known as parking assist devices, mainly consist of ultrasonic sensors, controllers, and displays. They can inform the driver of surrounding obstacles through sound or more intuitive displays, eliminating the troubles caused by the driver's need to look around when parking, reversing, or starting the vehicle, and helping the driver overcome blind spots and unclear vision.
