New cars do not need and are not recommended to be waxed or coated with crystal. For new cars, simply washing them is sufficient, and no protective measures are necessary. Only when the car's paint feels rough to the touch should you consider waxing or applying a regular coating or glaze. Disadvantages of Waxing: Product Damage: There is a wide variety of car waxes on the market today, each with different properties and effects. Choosing the wrong type or using inferior-quality wax can damage the car's paint. Paint Wear: Due to their abrasive properties, improper application or excessive use of wax with abrasive particles can easily wear down the paint. Disadvantages of Crystal Coating: High Cost: Crystal coating is expensive. Complex Application: It requires skilled technicians and a controlled environment for application. Rapid Aging: It can accelerate the loss of gloss and oxidation of the car's paint.

What level does the Mercedes-Benz CLA260 belong to?

Mercedes-Benz CLA260 belongs to the mid-level coupe category. Developed based on Mercedes-Benz's MFA front-engine, front-wheel-drive platform, the CLA shares the same platform with the A-Class sedan, utilizing identical chassis and powertrain configurations. Unlike the A-Class sedan, which offers multiple powertrain options, the Mercedes-Benz CLA available in the Chinese market is exclusively offered in the CLA260 4MATIC variant, equipped with the same 2.0T powertrain as the A260, while the drivetrain is upgraded from front-wheel drive to all-wheel drive. Additional information: The dynamic exterior design of the Mercedes-Benz CLA holds a fatal attraction for most people, though describing it as a "three-box version of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class" might make it easier to understand. Compared to the larger CLS, the CLA's design trades some elegance for a more sporty appearance, and the standard AMG sports package on the CLA260 4MATIC takes this sporty and youthful design philosophy to the extreme.

What are the reasons for the Geely Vision's central control screen not lighting up?

There are several reasons why the central control display screen of a Geely Vision car may not light up: power supply issues with the central control system; damage to the central control screen; or a blown fuse in the central control system. Power Supply Issues: If the central control screen is black and not lighting up, you can try restarting the screen by turning the ignition on and off. If this doesn't resolve the issue, it is likely due to poor contact in the wiring, and you should promptly check for any loose connections. Screen Damage: If after checking the above two scenarios the central control screen remains black, it is probably due to prolonged use causing a failure in the power supply module, leading not only to lag but also possibly due to inherent circuit design flaws. Issues like module malfunctions or design defects require inspection and repair at a service center, or direct replacement may be necessary.

What kind of oil should be used for BMW 316?

BMW 316 uses 5W30 engine oil. Lubrication and wear reduction: There is rapid relative sliding between the piston and cylinder, as well as between the main shaft and bearing shells. To prevent excessive wear of parts, an oil film needs to be established between the two sliding surfaces. A sufficiently thick oil film separates the surfaces of relatively sliding parts, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing wear. Cooling: Engine oil can bring heat back to the oil tank and then dissipate it into the air, helping the radiator to cool the engine. Cleaning: Good engine oil can circulate carbon deposits, sludge, and worn metal particles from engine parts back to the oil tank. Through the flow of lubricating oil, it washes away dirt generated on the working surfaces of the parts. Sealing and leakage prevention: Engine oil can form a sealing ring between the piston rings and the piston, reducing gas leakage and preventing external contaminants from entering.

What RPM is needed for a new car to start?

When starting a new car, the RPM is between 250-350 rpm. After starting, the idle RPM varies depending on the temperature. There are mainly two scenarios, which are: 1. In cold winters with low temperatures, the car's RPM is around 1100 rpm. 2. In hot summers with high temperatures, the car's RPM is around 650 rpm. Additional information: The car's tachometer is divided into several zones. The white scale indicates the safe RPM range, while the red scale marks the dangerous RPM range. Some models also have a green zone, which indicates the most fuel-efficient RPM range for the engine. Generally, as long as the RPM does not enter the dangerous range, it is considered normal. However, it's important to ensure that the RPM matches the current gear. Otherwise, driving at low gear with high RPM or high gear with low RPM can cause unnecessary damage to the vehicle.
