Lexus does not offer free maintenance for life; its free maintenance policy is valid for four years or 100,000 kilometers. Lexus models include the Lexus GS, Lexus ES, Lexus LS, Lexus IS, Lexus UX, and others. Taking the 2017 Lexus GS as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4880mm, width 1840mm, height 1455mm, with a wheelbase of 2850mm and a curb weight of 1660kg. The 2017 Lexus GS is equipped with a 2.0T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 245PS, a maximum torque of 350Nm, and a maximum power of 180kW, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

As a Lexus owner who just bought a car last year, I discovered they offer free maintenance services, but it's not for life—only for the first four years or up to 100,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. During this period, I went to the 4S dealership for maintenance, which basically covered oil changes, filter replacements, safety inspections, and other items. It felt worry-free and cost-saving. After that, I’ll have to pay out of pocket, averaging around one to two thousand yuan per year. But the car drives very smoothly, so I recommend clarifying the specific terms when buying to avoid being misled. Additionally, Lexus has good quality control, with few issues even after the maintenance period ends, making it a trustworthy brand.

Why is the Mercedes-Benz car not responding when starting?

Car fails to start, idle speed is unstable, and engine speed fluctuates. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Long-term parking: The usage time of the car battery is the main cause of power loss. Typically, the lifespan of a car battery is two to three years. If it exceeds this period, the car is highly likely to experience power loss after being parked for just two or three days, resulting in weak starting. 2. Forgetting to turn off lights and onboard electrical devices: If you forget to turn off the interior lights when parking and turning off the engine, the battery may be depleted after a night's consumption, leading to insufficient power and weak starting. 3. Forgetting to turn off the air conditioning before shutting down the engine: Most car owners are accustomed to not turning off the air conditioning or letting it automatically start when the vehicle is started. This causes the air conditioning system to automatically start working every time the ignition switch is turned on, directly resulting in an instantaneous overload of the vehicle's power. Over time, this will cause damage to the battery.

Where is the tire pressure monitoring button for the 2018 Sagitar?

The tire pressure monitoring button for the 2018 Sagitar is located inside the glove compartment. The button features a tire pressure monitoring indicator symbol and the letters SET. The Sagitar's tire pressure monitoring system is a passive type (also known as an indirect tire pressure monitoring system, referred to as WSB in English, short for Wheel Speed Based TPMS). It does not display the actual tire pressure values but will automatically illuminate the tire pressure monitoring indicator light when abnormal tire pressure is detected. To reset the tire pressure warning light on the 2018 Sagitar, follow these steps: 1. Keep the vehicle stationary for one minute without moving it. 2. Press and hold the tire pressure reset button inside the glove compartment. 3. A confirmation sound will indicate that the tire pressure reset is complete. If the tire pressure warning light comes on, it is advisable to stop and check the tires when safe to do so. If no visible issues are found, promptly visit a 4S store or a professional auto repair shop for inspection.

Does a new vehicle need to undergo inspection in the sixth year?

A new vehicle requires inspection in the sixth year. New vehicles enjoy a six-year exemption from inspection. During the first six years, in the second and fourth years, the owner only needs to complete some related procedures, which require the owner to handle them personally. In the sixth year, the owner must take the vehicle to an inspection station for an on-site inspection, and only after passing the inspection can the inspection label be obtained. Regulations regarding the annual inspection time for motor vehicles: 1. Small and micro non-operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once every two years within six years, once every year after six years, and twice every year after 15 years; 2. Operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once every year within five years and once every six months after five years; 3. Trucks and large or medium-sized non-operational passenger vehicles must be inspected once every year within 10 years and once every six months after 10 years; 4. Motorcycles must be inspected once every two years within four years and once every year after four years; 5. The annual inspection time for motor vehicles is determined based on the initial registration date of the new vehicle. For example, if the initial registration date on the vehicle's license is June 2007, the annual inspection time is every June.

Why does the motorcycle emit blue smoke after changing the engine oil?

Motorcycle emits blue smoke after changing the engine oil for the following reasons: Oil level too high: First, check whether the oil level is too high, as excessive oil level can easily cause oil to rise. When checking the oil level, do not do so immediately after the engine stops. Wait for 10 minutes after shutdown before checking. If the oil level is too high, the excess oil should be drained promptly. Increased piston clearance: If the oil level is normal, for engines that have been in use for a long time, check the cylinder compression pressure and the possibility of increased clearance due to wear of the piston, piston rings, and cylinder, which can cause oil to rise. If the cylinder pressure is found to be below the specified value, further check whether the piston has carbon deposits causing it to stick, excessive wear, or loss of elasticity. If any of these conditions are present, the piston rings should be cleaned or replaced. If the cylinder liner is severely worn and the clearance between the piston and cylinder exceeds the specified value, the cylinder should be rebored, and the piston should be replaced.

How many liters of engine oil should be added to the Buick LaCrosse 2.0t?

The Buick LaCrosse 2.0t requires 5.5 liters of engine oil, but at least 5 liters are needed for a gravity oil change as it cannot be completely drained. Method to check engine oil level: Park the car and turn off the engine, open the hood, locate the oil dipstick, wipe it clean with a cloth, reinsert the clean and dry dipstick, wait for three minutes, then pull it out and observe the oil level on the dipstick. Typically, the dipstick has two marks, H (High) and L (Low). If the oil level is between these two marks, it indicates sufficient oil for normal driving. Precautions when adding engine oil: Ensure that the additional oil is of the same brand and type; mixing different oils is not recommended. Additionally, opened oil bottles can be used for topping up if they are less than one year old. Oil that has been opened for over a year is generally ineffective and not recommended for use.
