Relatively high. Ford Motor (China) Co., Ltd. has filed a recall plan, starting from June 15, 2018, to recall some imported 2017-2018 Lincoln Continental series vehicles. According to the company's statistics, a total of 11,044 vehicles are involved. The reason for the recall is that the battery wiring harness comes into contact with the exhaust heat shield in the engine compartment, which can cause damage to the battery wiring harness and pose a safety hazard. From 2015 to 2018, Lincoln vehicles were recalled a total of 9 times. Although the frequency is not high, it is by no means low in the domestic automotive industry. Here is some related knowledge about the Lincoln Aviator: 1. Lincoln Aviator Exterior: The new Lincoln Aviator adopts the Lincoln family design language, featuring a large-area grille with a star emblem, typical of American luxury style. The new car also uses a split headlight assembly, with the turn signals positioned independently below the headlights. 2. Lincoln Aviator Interior: Inside, the new car employs a large number of straight-line designs to visually extend the length. The T-shaped center console, floating central screen, 12.3-inch full digital instrument panel, and multimedia control buttons work together to enhance the luxury feel of the interior.

Can a Naturally Aspirated Car Be Converted to Turbocharged?

It is possible to convert a naturally aspirated car to turbocharged. To modify a naturally aspirated engine into a turbocharged engine, a turbocharger needs to be installed, and the compression ratio pistons must be replaced. Additionally, internal reinforcement of the engine is required; otherwise, the engine will not be able to withstand the increased power and temperature. The primary function of a turbocharger is to increase the engine's air intake, thereby enhancing the engine's power and torque, making the car more powerful. After installing a turbocharger, the engine's maximum power can increase by 40% or more compared to its naturally aspirated state. However, it is important to note that engine modification is illegal without prior application and registration with the vehicle management department. Failure to do so may result in the vehicle being deemed unroadworthy and could lead to unnecessary complications during annual inspections.

How to Identify a Vehicle's Emission Standard

Methods to identify a vehicle's emission standard are as follows: 1. Check the vehicle's environmental protection label, which usually has clear markings on the back; 2. Visit the website of the Motor Vehicle Exhaust Pollution Supervision and Management Center for inquiry; 3. Take the vehicle registration certificate (original or copy) to the vehicle management office for inquiry; 4. For new vehicles, refer to the vehicle's factory certificate, which includes this information. However, the certificate is usually kept by the vehicle management office, so it is advisable to make a copy when purchasing a new car; 5. Make a rough estimate based on the vehicle's registration year: China plans to gradually implement the China 6 emission standard from July 1, 2020; vehicles registered after July 2017 comply with the China 5 standard; those produced between September 2009 and July 2017 are China 4 models; those produced between July 2007 and September 2009 are China 3 models; and those produced between July 2004 and July 2007 are China 2 models.

What is the emission standard of the Prado?

As of July 5, 2019, the domestically produced 3.5-liter version of the 2019 Prado still adheres to the China V emission standard. The China V standard for motor vehicle pollutant emissions was implemented nationwide from January 1, 2018, requiring a 25% reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions compared to the China IV standard. Methods to check a vehicle's emission standard: Check the vehicle's environmental protection compliance label: The page where the vehicle certification number begins contains a description of the emission standard, though it is not directly stated as China IV or V but rather as a string of characters. Based on the vehicle's manufacturing year: The vehicle's manufacturing year can provide a rough estimate of its emission standard. Visit the vehicle management office for inquiry: Bring the motor vehicle registration certificate to the vehicle management office, locate the corresponding counter, and have the staff assist with the inquiry. Online inquiry: Log in to the 'Motor Vehicle Environmental Protection Website' and click on 'This query system is only for new production vehicle inquiries. For other vehicle compliance inquiries, click here to enter.'

Can You Sleep in the Car with the Heater On?

You cannot sleep in the car with the heater on, as it may lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. The correct operation method for using the heater in the car is as follows: 1. Always leave a small gap in the window to ensure air circulation between the inside and outside of the car; 2. If possible, avoid turning on the air conditioning to prevent an increase in carbon monoxide concentration; 3. Turn on the external circulation of the air conditioning before starting the car to ensure continuous air exchange between the inside and outside of the car, thereby avoiding carbon monoxide poisoning; 4. Set an alarm. Be aware that you may lose consciousness if you fall into a deep sleep, so it is essential to set an alarm. Based on the rate of carbon monoxide concentration increase, setting it every half hour is most appropriate to ensure you remain in a conscious state.

If severely damaged, it may result in the inability to engage any gear, rendering the car undrivable. The following incorrect driving behaviors can lead to clutch damage: 1. Mismatching vehicle speed and gear position, such as shifting into high gear at low speeds or vice versa. 2. Shifting gears without fully depressing the clutch pedal. 3. Prolonged operation with the clutch partially engaged (riding the clutch). 4. Incomplete gear engagement. 5. Coasting with the clutch pedal depressed for extended periods.
