Lexus free maintenance is not for life, here are the specific details: 1. Regular engine: 4 years or 100,000 kilometers free warranty and maintenance; 2. Hybrid: 6 years or 120,000 kilometers free warranty and maintenance; 3. Battery: 10 years or 200,000 kilometers warranty and maintenance. The Lexus free maintenance policy period is 4 years/100,000 kilometers, including minor maintenance items such as the three filters, working fluids, wiper blades, etc., all of which are free during the warranty period (labor costs are not explicitly included in the free policy, specific details are subject to the dealership).

As a Lexus owner, I enjoyed free maintenance services after purchasing their new car, but I understand it's not free for life. The plan offers 4 years or 50,000 miles of free routine maintenance, such as oil changes, filter replacements, and vehicle inspections, which are clearly stated in the contract. The first few years were indeed hassle-free and cost-saving, but after the period ends, you have to pay for maintenance yourself. Lexus provides good service quality, but don’t forget to keep up with maintenance records to avoid voiding the warranty. I advise new owners to understand the details in advance—don’t expect it to be free forever, and regular checks can extend the vehicle’s lifespan. In short, always read the terms carefully when buying a car to avoid misunderstandings.

What brand of antifreeze should be used for BMW 5 Series?

There is no mandatory regulation on the brand of antifreeze, and using the same brand of antifreeze is sufficient. Different brands of antifreeze may have varying production formulas, and mixing them could lead to chemical reactions between multiple additives, rendering them ineffective. How to choose antifreeze: The basic indicators of antifreeze are the freezing point and boiling point. On the market, antifreeze is available with freezing points of -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, -40°C, etc. Generally, it is advisable to choose one that is at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region. How to determine if antifreeze is low: Observe the antifreeze warning light on the dashboard. If it lights up, it is likely due to low antifreeze levels, though it could also be caused by excessively high engine temperature. Check the antifreeze reservoir. If the fluid level is below the minimum mark (MIN), do not continue driving and promptly add antifreeze. Check the water level scale on the antifreeze tank. The normal antifreeze level should be between the maximum and minimum marks. If the antifreeze level is below the minimum mark, it indicates a shortage of antifreeze.

Do You Need to Wait for a Traffic Light When Making a U-Turn at a Dashed Line?

If the gap is marked with a dashed line, making a U-turn is not affected by traffic signals and does not require crossing the pedestrian crossing. You can make a U-turn directly as long as it does not interfere with other normally moving vehicles and ensures your own safety. If the gap is marked with a solid line, then making a U-turn requires crossing the pedestrian crossing and is subject to traffic signals. Note that making a U-turn on the pedestrian crossing is prohibited. Violations will result in a 3-point deduction and a fine of 200 yuan according to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China." When making a U-turn that requires crossing the pedestrian crossing, you must yield to pedestrians: Pedestrians walking on the right side of the road's crosswalk, not reaching the centerline of the road. Vehicles on the left side of the road should slow down and proceed only after ensuring safety, allowing pedestrians to pass the crosswalk; Pedestrians waiting outside the boundary line between motorized and non-motorized lanes. If they have not entered the road, vehicles should slow down and proceed only after ensuring safety, allowing pedestrians to pass the crosswalk; If pedestrians cross the boundary line between motorized and non-motorized lanes, vehicles failing to stop and yield is a violation and should be penalized; Pedestrians waiting at the centerline of the road without entering the motorized lane. Vehicles failing to stop and yield is a violation and should be penalized; Pedestrians crossing the centerline of the road and entering the motorized lane. Vehicles failing to stop and yield is a violation and should be penalized; If the road is divided by a green belt, pedestrians waiting in the middle of the road's stopping area. Vehicles must slow down and proceed only after ensuring safety, allowing pedestrians to pass the crosswalk. Cases where U-turns are allowed: Intersections with U-turn signs: If there is a clear U-turn sign at the intersection, U-turns are permitted; if there is a U-turn signal light, follow its instructions. If there is no signal light, make a U-turn based on the specific situation, ensuring it does not hinder other vehicles or pedestrians. Intersections without explicit prohibitions on U-turns or left turns: If there is no explicit "No U-turn" sign, U-turns are allowed. "No explicit prohibition" means the absence of signs like "No U-turn," "No left turn," or solid centerlines. In such cases, U-turns are permitted. Yellow grid lines also allow U-turns: Yellow grid lines are no-stopping zones marked at intersections prone to congestion due to temporary stops, important unit entrances, and other necessary locations. Stopping on these lines (including waiting for traffic lights) is a violation. Although stopping is prohibited in yellow grid areas, U-turns are allowed. If there is no central barrier, yellow grid lines are equivalent to "U-turn permitted." Intersections with U-turn signal lights: This is straightforward. If there is a U-turn signal light, follow it—only proceed on green. When "No left turn" and "U-turn permitted" signs coexist: U-turns are allowed, but left turns are prohibited. Note that "No U-turn" is not the same as "No left turn." Precautions when making U-turns at intersections: Observe road markings. If they are solid lines, U-turns are prohibited under any circumstances. Continue driving to find a suitable U-turn location. If there is a "No left turn" sign ahead, even if "No U-turn" is not mentioned, U-turns are not allowed at that intersection because U-turns inherently involve left turns. U-turns must be made from the innermost left-turn lane. If you are in the second left-turn lane, U-turns are not permitted at that intersection. Always yield to straight-moving vehicles before making a U-turn. If you interfere with straight-moving traffic, you will bear full responsibility for any accidents. Near intersection stop lines, lanes usually have guiding arrows for vehicle direction. The leftmost lane is not always for left turns only. If there is a straight arrow in some lanes, even without explicit "No U-turn" signs, U-turns are not allowed.

What is the method to locate the cabin air filter in a Lincoln MKC?

In the Lincoln MKC, the cabin air filter is installed behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace it, first open the glove compartment lid and remove the retaining clips. After taking out the glove compartment, you will see the cabin air filter cover. Remove the cover to access the cabin air filter, then pull out the old filter sideways and insert the new one. Functions of the cabin air filter: 1. Ensures the filter fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin. 2. Separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air. 3. Adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., with strong and long-lasting moisture absorption. 4. Prevents car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility and safe driving for passengers. Provides fresh air to the cabin, preventing occupants from inhaling harmful gases and ensuring driving safety. Effectively sterilizes and deodorizes. 5. Maintains clean cabin air, preventing bacterial growth and creating a healthy environment. Effectively separates solid impurities like dust, core powder, and abrasive particles from the air. Effectively blocks pollen, preventing allergic reactions in passengers that could affect driving safety.

What type of driving license is generally chosen?

Generally, the C1 license is chosen. The C1 license is for small cars, while the C2 license is for small automatic transmission cars. The C1 license allows driving both small manual and automatic transmission cars, whereas the C2 license only permits driving small automatic transmission cars. The details are as follows: 1. C2 The examination process for the C2 license is exactly the same as for the C1 license, involving tests from Subject 1 to Subject 4. The difference lies in the training and examination vehicles. The C1 license uses manual transmission cars, mostly models like Santana and pickup trucks, while the C2 license uses automatic transmission cars, predominantly models like Jetta and Elysee. Automatic transmission cars do not have a clutch, eliminating the need for gear shifting and reducing the likelihood of stalling, which makes the examination easier. 2. C1: Obtaining a C1 license allows driving both types of cars, and the tuition fees are relatively lower. Additionally, it is possible to upgrade to an A3 or B2 license. Driving schools are well-equipped with training and examination vehicles for C1 courses, which is why most people directly opt for the C1 license. The C2 license only permits driving automatic transmission cars. The training process is simpler than for C1, with better car models and higher pass rates, but the tuition fees are also relatively higher. It is suitable for students who already own or plan to buy an automatic transmission car and for older students.

How to Buy Insurance After Purchasing a New Car?

After purchasing a new car, buying insurance includes the following: 1. Compulsory Traffic Insurance: Compulsory Traffic Insurance is a mandatory insurance required by Chinese law for every car owner. The insurance premium for Compulsory Traffic Insurance is uniformly priced nationwide based on the number of vehicle seats. If no accidents occur during the insurance period, the renewal premium the following year will be reduced by 10% from the base premium, with a maximum reduction of 30%. 2. Vehicle Damage Insurance: Vehicle Damage Insurance refers to compensation by the insurance company within a reasonable range when the insured or an authorized driver causes damage to the insured vehicle in an accident. 3. Third-Party Liability Insurance: Third-Party Liability Insurance covers compensation for bodily injury or direct property damage to others (excluding the driver and passengers of the insured vehicle) caused in an accident. Premiums vary based on different coverage levels. 4. No-Deductible Insurance: The full name of No-Deductible Insurance is the 'No-Deductible Rate Special Clause,' which is an additional type of insurance. In many accident compensations, the insurance company may apply a deductible rate of 5%-20%. The cost of No-Deductible Insurance is relatively low, with its premium = (Vehicle Damage Insurance + Third-Party Liability Insurance) × 20%.

What should be paid attention to when parking in snowy weather?

Here are the things to pay attention to when parking in snowy weather: 1. Do not use the handbrake: Many people don't understand this, because after driving in rain or snow, there will be some water accumulation in the brake discs and calipers. If the handbrake is applied, the accumulated water will freeze when the temperature drops at night, which can easily damage the braking system when starting the vehicle the next day. Depending on the slope of the road, you can choose to leave the car in forward gear or reverse gear. For automatic transmission cars, you can use bricks or wood blocks to chock the wheels. 2. Protect the headlights and windshield: After a night of snowfall, the windshield will be covered with a thick layer of snow the next day, making it troublesome to clean. You can place a large dry towel on the glass before parking, so that the next morning you can simply remove the towel. At the same time, the headlights should also be protected, because in snowy weather, the low temperature can cause the snow on the headlights to freeze, making it difficult to clean when needed. 3. Avoid parking on roads prone to water accumulation: As the snow melts, the water on the road can freeze due to the large temperature difference between day and night, which can freeze the tires, deform the tire tread, or even directly tear the tire and cause a blowout. Therefore, on snowy nights, make sure not to park your car on roads with water accumulation.
