I've done a lot of research and test-driven the Lynk & Co 05 several times. The powertrain indeed has deep connections with Volvo, mainly sharing the CMA platform and that Drive-E engine technology. The acceleration response is quick, power delivery is smooth without jerking when you step on the throttle, and the transmission is smartly matched. The car's overall design is quite sporty, with suspension tuning leaning towards the firm side, offering good handling feel. If you're concerned about brand endorsement, it's jointly developed by Geely and Volvo with shared parts supply, so the quality is reliable, and maintenance is quite convenient. I feel this kind of shared technology can boost overall driving confidence, and the fuel consumption control is reasonable, making daily city driving stress-free.

Can I Add Water If the Coolant Is Low?

Coolant can be topped up with water if it is low. The functions of coolant are: 1. To prevent the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block when the vehicle is parked in cold weather; 2. To prevent corrosion of metal parts and aging of rubber components; 3. To reduce scale buildup, which can clog circulation pipes and impair the cooling system's heat dissipation function; 4. To prevent the engine from overheating, ensuring it operates at normal working temperature; 5. To lubricate the water pump, thermostat, and other components. The full name of coolant is antifreeze coolant, which consists of water, antifreeze, and additives. Based on the antifreeze component, it can be classified into: alcohol-based, glycerin-based, and ethylene glycol-based.

What does the EPC light on the car mean?

The EPC indicator light has two activation states: illumination during power-on self-test and illumination under other circumstances. The power-on self-test is an indication that the vehicle is monitoring the status of all sensors before driving. Generally, if the vehicle is not started after power-on, the light will turn off by itself after about 3 seconds. In other cases, if the EPC light stays on after the vehicle is started or does not turn off for a long time, the main causes may include faults in the engine intake system, throttle valve, fuel system, engine, ECU control unit, or brake lights. The following is a detailed explanation of the reasons for the EPC light illuminating under other circumstances: Engine intake system fault: The EPC light will illuminate if the engine intake is obstructed or insufficient. Throttle valve fault: Carbon buildup is a common issue with the throttle valve. Additionally, dirt accumulation can affect intake and trigger the indicator light. Fuel system fault: This includes issues such as substandard fuel, fuel deterioration, or poor fuel atomization. Engine fault: Insufficient engine pressure or problems with the intake valves and other powertrain components can also cause the EPC light to illuminate. ECU control unit fault: For example, interference with the vehicle computer signals or false alarms from the vehicle computer. Brake light fault: This includes situations where the brake lights do not illuminate, the brake switch malfunctions, or there are issues with the brake wiring. Solutions for when the EPC light illuminates: Troubleshoot intake system issues, use fuel with the appropriate octane rating, clean the throttle valve, etc. Remove carbon deposits from relevant components. Re-flash the ECU with updated data. If the EPC light illuminates, the owner can first try turning off the engine and restarting it to see if the EPC light remains on. If it does not illuminate again, there may be no issue, possibly due to a temporary influence on the EPC indicator. If the EPC light remains on or frequently illuminates, the vehicle should be taken to the nearest service center for professional diagnosis and repair to eliminate potential safety hazards. The full English name of EPC is Electronic-Power-Control, which translates to electronic power control. Most people refer to it as the engine electronic stability system. The EPC system primarily includes controllers and sensors related to the powertrain. When sensor data in the system is abnormal, the EPC system will take predefined actions to address powertrain issues. Common EPC indicator lights are displayed in two colors: yellow and red. If the EPC fault light is yellow and the vehicle can still operate normally, drive slowly to a repair facility for inspection. If the EPC fault light is red, the situation is more severe, and the vehicle should be pulled over immediately. Contact a professional technician for repairs, as continued driving may damage core components or compromise safety.

What is the applicable scope of engine oil grade 0w40?

Engine oil grade 0w40 is suitable for cars with high oil viscosity and large displacement. The following is an introduction to the applicable scope of engine oil grade 0w40: Introduction: The W in 0w40 stands for Winter, and the smaller the number before it, the better the low-temperature fluidity of the engine oil, indicating a lower usable ambient temperature and better protection for the engine during cold starts. The number 40 indicates that the kinematic viscosity standard at 100 degrees Celsius is between 12.5m㎡/s and 16.3m㎡/s. Meaning: The number before W represents the flow performance at low temperatures. The smaller the number, the better the starting performance at low temperatures. The number after W represents the stability of the oil at high temperatures (i.e., the likelihood of thinning). The larger the number, the better the stability of the oil at high temperatures.

How to Power On the Car with One-Button Start?

With the smart key inside the car, pressing the one-button start will power on the vehicle. Here is some relevant information about one-button start: Definition: The one-button start device is part of a smart car, serving as a button mechanism to simplify the starting process, and it can also turn off the engine. This device can be installed by modifying the original key lock position or as an independent panel. Precautions: The starting method is software-based one-button start. There are three main points to note when installing a car's one-button start system (the wiring of the plug under the ignition switch, the position of the button, and the handling of the steering lock), and it offers multiple functions.

How to Obtain the Annual Inspection Sticker?

Annual inspection stickers can be obtained at the vehicle management office or at inspection stations designated by the vehicle management office. Here is more information about vehicle annual inspections: Purpose: Vehicle annual inspections can promptly eliminate potential safety hazards, encourage better vehicle maintenance, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents. Best Time: Vehicles can undergo inspection and apply for annual review within 3 months before the annual inspection date. It is best to go two months or slightly more than one month in advance, and try not to wait until there are only a few days left before the inspection expires. Additionally, before the 10th of each month, inspection stations have relatively fewer appointments, making it an ideal time to avoid long queues.
