Newly purchased electric vehicles should be charged after the battery is depleted. Performing a complete discharge and full charge can make the battery more active and fully utilize its performance. However, this does not mean the battery is completely empty; charging should begin immediately when the remaining power drops below 20%. Precautions for the first charge of a new electric car: For dry-charged batteries within the specified storage period, in case of emergency, they can be used after adding electrolyte of standard specific gravity and letting it stand for 30 minutes. However, they should still be charged according to standard charging procedures afterward. During charging, control the battery temperature to not exceed 37 degrees Celsius. Open the cell covers to ensure proper ventilation. Maintain the effective height of the electrolyte level, which should be 5mm above the plates. Ensure the specific gravity of the electrolyte is normal. After the charger enters the float charging state, maintain it for 1-1.5 hours before stopping the charge.

What are the methods and precautions for installing spark plugs?

Align the spark plug with the spark plug hole on the cylinder head and gently screw it in by hand. After screwing in about half of the full thread length, use a socket to tighten it initially. When tightening the spark plug, ensure the socket and torque wrench are properly aligned with the spark plug. If you feel resistance while turning, remove the spark plug to check if it is properly aligned with the thread or if there are any impurities in the thread. Do not blindly apply more force to tighten it. If it is too loose, it may cause gas leakage; if it is too tight, the sealing gasket may lose elasticity, which can also cause gas leakage. Always tighten the spark plug to the specified torque.

What are the speed and gear requirements for the 100-meter gear shifting exercise?

When the speed reaches around 15 mph, shift to second gear. Continue accelerating until the speed reaches approximately 25 mph, then shift to third gear. Keep accelerating until the speed reaches about 40 mph, then release the throttle and shift to third gear. When the speed drops to around 20 mph, downshift to second gear. The following precautions should be noted during gear shifting: Do not look down at the gear lever when shifting: While shifting gears, maintain proper control of the steering wheel, keep your eyes on the road ahead, and adjust direction appropriately based on reference points to prevent the vehicle from deviating. When operating the gear lever, promptly release the throttle, fully depress the clutch, and avoid looking down at the gear lever. If detected by the system, this will directly result in a failing score. Proper coordination between throttle and clutch: During the driving test (Subject 3), the examiner primarily evaluates the candidate's proficiency in operating the throttle, clutch, and brake. Mastering these three elements ensures smooth execution of the 100-meter gear shifting exercise. Matching speed with the appropriate gear: While driving, always maintain the correct gear corresponding to the current speed.

Will There Be Any Impact If a Car Is Not Driven for 20 Days?

If the battery has sufficient charge and the car is in good condition, leaving it unused for 20 days will not cause any impact. Generally, leaving a car unused for over a month will start to have some effects, though these are usually minor. However, once the period exceeds three months, the impact becomes significant. If a car is not started for a month, some mechanical parts may be affected due to lack of lubrication from the engine oil. If left unused for over three months, the engine oil can deteriorate due to oxidation, and some components may rust or corrode. The specific impacts are as follows: Effects of Long-Term Vehicle Inactivity: Prolonged parking can lead to continuous battery discharge, which may result in a drained battery or even permanent damage. Tires left stationary for long periods can develop localized deformations. Rubber components in the car, such as tires and door/window seals, are highly susceptible to premature aging due to exposure to sunlight and humidity fluctuations, leading to reduced performance and shorter lifespans. Rubber aging primarily occurs because rubber is an unsaturated hydrocarbon polymer, which readily absorbs oxygen from the air and oxidizes. Additionally, vulcanized rubber has a certain degree of permeability, allowing oxygen to penetrate and cause internal oxidation. Precautions for Parking a Car for Extended Periods: Store the car in a garage and cover it with a car cover; avoid engaging the handbrake; disconnect the battery if the car will not be used for a long time to prevent power drainage by onboard electronics; check the tire pressure of all four tires to ensure it is normal and there are no leaks.

What is the actual fuel consumption of the Baojun 730?

The measured fuel consumption of the Baojun 730 1.5L is 8.5L/100km, with a consumption range of 7.5L-10.5L. The measured fuel consumption of the Baojun 730 1.5T is 8.9L/100km, with a consumption range of 7.7L-11.0L. The actual comprehensive fuel consumption is influenced by multiple factors such as load, road conditions, driving habits, weather, wind speed, tire pressure, etc. The actual comprehensive fuel consumption should be based on real driving conditions. Factors determining fuel consumption: There is a certain relationship between engine displacement and fuel consumption, but higher fuel consumption does not necessarily mean larger displacement. In a relative sense, the size of a car's engine displacement does not directly correlate with fuel consumption. Besides engine displacement, factors such as the car's shape, weight, and engine technology are also significant contributors to fuel consumption. Solutions for high fuel consumption: Correct improper driving habits, maintain steady acceleration, avoid coasting in neutral, reduce vehicle load, perform regular maintenance and inspections, and address any issues immediately when discovered.
