Newly purchased cars generally have higher fuel consumption, which is common for almost every vehicle. When a car leaves the factory, due to machining precision of parts and assembly errors, it requires a certain mileage for running-in. During this break-in period, the car tends to consume more fuel, and you may feel a lack of power. Precautions for car break-in: Avoid overloading. During the break-in period, the load should not exceed 75% of the rated capacity. New cars should carry less than the specified weight and number of passengers, and overloading must be avoided. Do not drive at high speeds. There are speed limits for new cars during the break-in period. Generally, domestic cars should stay within 40~70 km/h, while imported cars should not exceed 100 km/h. Ensure the engine speed and vehicle speed operate at moderate levels. Typically, the engine speed during the break-in period should be between 2000~4000 rpm. Use high-quality gasoline. The gasoline used during the break-in period should not be of a lower grade than the manufacturer's specified standard. Do not add anti-wear additives, as this may result in insufficient break-in even after reaching the required mileage.

How to Remove Black Marks Scuffed on the Side of a Tire?

Tire sidewall black marks can be removed by scrubbing hard with a towel dipped in water. If the side of the tire is scuffed and turns black without immediate bulging or other damage, pay extra attention to the scuffed area during daily use. If bulging or other abnormalities are noticed, replace the tire promptly. The black marks result from friction that scrapes off the outer layer, exposing the tire's original color. If the scuffed area is deep, it is advisable to replace the tire immediately, especially since the sidewall is relatively weak. For tread damage, assess the specific affected area to decide between patching or replacing the tire. Tires serve as the medium for transmitting forces between the vehicle and the road, including driving force, braking force, and steering force, thereby enabling operations such as acceleration, braking, and steering.

How to Remove a Stuck Cigarette Lighter?

When the cigarette lighter is stuck and not heating, but simply lodged inside and unable to be pulled out, this is typically caused by a blown fuse. You need to check and replace the fuse. After replacement, the lighter should automatically pop out within about 20 to 30 seconds. If the lighter is stuck inside but still heats normally, yet cannot be pulled out, this is usually due to frequent use causing the retaining spring to loosen or become damaged. In this case, gently twist the lighter and slowly pull it upward. If it still won't come out, use a small screwdriver to pry it loose. Once removed, the retaining spring should be repaired. If the lighter itself is damaged, it will need to be replaced.

Is Jerking in a 6AT Transmission Normal?

6AT transmission jerking is not normal. The causes of transmission jerking are: excessively high transmission oil temperature, stubborn dirt and impurities inside the transmission forming blockages in the valve body, hindering the smooth movement of solenoid valves and preventing orderly regulation of oil pressure, leading to jerking, impact, and slippage faults. The jerking sensation in the transmission is caused by the inertia of moving parts inside the engine, and transmission jerking can be attributed to poor shifting quality and faults. The functions of the transmission are: 1. To change the transmission ratio to meet the traction needs under different driving conditions, allowing the engine to operate under favorable conditions; 2. To enable the vehicle to reverse; 3. To interrupt power transmission when the engine starts and idles, during gear shifts or parking, cutting off power to the drive wheels; 4. To achieve neutral gear, stopping power output from the transmission when the clutch is engaged.

How to reset the tire pressure warning light on a Lexus ES200?

The method to reset the tire pressure warning light on a Lexus ES200 is: 1. Turn on the ignition switch and press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button; 2. Release the button after hearing a beep sound, at which point the tire pressure monitoring system will store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the original data, and the tire pressure warning light will be reset. The functions of tire pressure monitoring are: 1. To provide timely alerts when rapid or slow air leakage occurs due to tire punctures; 2. To issue warning alerts when tire loosening causes unbalanced friction, leading to tire temperatures reaching 70 degrees Celsius to prevent blowouts; 3. To provide warning alerts when tires have not been inflated for an extended period and the tire pressure falls below the vehicle's set limit, preventing low pressure from causing tire temperature rise and blowouts.
