Car first free maintenance items generally include: engine oil change, tightening chassis screws, checking tire pressure, full vehicle oil and water inspection, full vehicle lighting inspection, cleaning air filter, cleaning air conditioning filter, engine dust cleaning, replenishing windshield washer fluid and radiator water. Below are the relevant introductions for the first maintenance: 1. Oil change: Pay attention to the oil model and brand, and ensure the oil container is original and unopened. It's best to take a photo with your phone for later reference to experience the engine performance after maintenance. 2. Tightening car screws: Many cars leave the factory with screws not tightened excessively due to considerations for the break-in period and new car settling. During the first maintenance, after the break-in period, the mechanic will tighten all connecting screws according to the torque specified in the manual. 3. Tire pressure: The standard tire pressure is about 2.2~2.6 bar. Over-inflation can increase tire wear and may cause blowouts, while under-inflation can increase fuel consumption and vehicle bumpiness. Generally, tire pressure can be slightly lower in summer and slightly higher in winter. 4. Oil and water inspection: Includes comprehensive checks of engine oil, power steering fluid, transmission oil, and brake fluid. 5. Lighting inspection: Includes checking the height, deviation, brightness of headlights, whether bulbs are damaged, and if lights can switch normally; followed by checking rear tail lights. 6. Air filter and air conditioning check: Air conditioning cooling and heating effectiveness, airflow volume. 7. Engine inspection: Mainly checks wiring harnesses, pipelines, chains or belts for wear and cracks, any odors in the compartment, and oil leaks. 8. Replenishing windshield washer fluid and radiator water: Windshield washer fluid is specifically designed for cars, characterized by not causing rust in car parts and freezing in winter.

What kind of engine oil is suitable for Chery Flagcloud 1?

Chery Flagcloud 1 can use 5W-40 semi-synthetic engine oil. The viscosity of engine oil is not the higher the better, the most important thing is whether it is suitable. The viscosity of engine oil should be as small as possible: On the premise of ensuring reliable lubrication of the engine, the viscosity of engine oil should be as small as possible. Except for use in the southern summer, engine oil with high viscosity is only suitable for some severely worn engines. Blindly choosing high-viscosity engine oil will increase the resistance during engine operation, thereby increasing fuel consumption. Multi-grade oil should be used as much as possible: Multi-grade oil has good viscosity-temperature performance, can be used for a long time in the engine, saves fuel, and is suitable for all seasons, making it easy to manage. When using multi-grade oil, the oil color tends to turn black, and the oil pressure is also lower than that of ordinary engine oil. These are normal phenomena and do not affect the use.

How many points are deducted for the rear of the vehicle exceeding the line during parallel parking?

Parallel parking: 1. If the vehicle body exceeds the line after stopping in the parking space: deduct 100 points; 2. Failure to use or incorrect use of turn signals when exiting the parking space: deduct 10 points; 3. The vehicle body touches the boundary line of the parking space during movement: deduct 10 points per occurrence; 4. The wheels touch or run over the lane boundary line during movement: deduct 10 points per occurrence; 5. Stopping for more than 2 seconds during the process: deduct 5 points per occurrence. Additional information: I. Curve driving: 1. Wheels pressing the edge line: deduct 100 points (previously 20 points, adjusted under the new standard); 2. Stopping for more than 2 seconds during the process: deduct 100 points. II. Right-angle turn: 1. Wheels pressing the edge line: deduct 100 points (previously 20 points, adjusted under the new standard); 2. Stopping for more than 2 seconds during the process: deduct 5 points per occurrence.

What is the difference between PEA and PIBA?

The difference between the two lies in their composition. PEA is composed of polyetheramine, while PIBA is composed of polyisobutylene amine, both of which are mainstream types of fuel additives in the market. The functions of fuel additives are as follows: 1. Remove carbon deposits and clean the fuel system: The cleaning and activating factors in the new generation of fuel additives can eliminate gum substances in the fuel and harmful deposits in the engine. After adding fuel additives five times consecutively, carbon deposits on the exhaust pipe are significantly reduced, and components such as the filter, exhaust valve, and fuel system become very clean. 2. Enhance engine performance: The nano-W component in the new generation of fuel additives can adsorb and encapsulate gum substances, generating gaseous "micro-explosions" in the combustion chamber under high temperatures, causing secondary atomization of the fuel and promoting complete combustion, thereby improving engine power. Over 90% of vehicles experience a noticeable increase in power after the first use of fuel additives, especially when the vehicle is under strain, carrying heavy loads, or on long journeys.

Why does the 2021 Teana only have one reverse light?

The new Teana has only one reverse light because the simplified vehicle configuration includes only one reverse light and one fog light. Additional information: 1. According to relevant regulations, vehicles with a length of less than 6 meters must be equipped with a reverse light, while the other one is installed based on customer demand. 2. Lights are one of the important components of a vehicle. Whether it's headlights, fog lights, or high beams, they all directly affect the driver's safety. Vehicles with a body length of less than 6 meters are only required to have one reverse light, while the other light is optional. 3. The new Teana has only one reverse light because it is indeed equipped with just one. In fact, the purpose of the reverse light is not for illumination, as lighting is mostly handled by headlights or high beams. The primary function of the reverse light is to alert vehicles and pedestrians behind, indicating that the car is preparing to reverse and they should stay away and be cautious. The second function is to help the driver see if there are any obstacles behind, allowing them to plan the reversing route properly to avoid collisions.

How much fuel is consumed per kilometer if 8 liters are used per 100 kilometers?

If 8 liters are consumed per 100 kilometers, then 0.08 liters are consumed per kilometer. Here are some methods to reduce fuel consumption: 1. Vehicle starting and acceleration: The starting quality of the engine before the vehicle moves is directly related to fuel consumption. The more times the engine is started, the more fuel is wasted. Therefore, improving the starting quality is an important aspect of saving fuel. The way the vehicle starts and accelerates after ignition also affects fuel economy. Smooth starting and gradual acceleration significantly save more fuel compared to sudden starts and rapid acceleration. To save fuel during starting and acceleration, it is advisable to select a lower gear and apply the throttle smoothly when starting the vehicle. 2. Controlling speed and fuel economy: The most fuel-efficient speed is the speed at which the vehicle consumes the least fuel when driving in direct drive or overdrive gear. On the same road, different speeds result in different fuel consumption rates. Therefore, there is a specific speed at which fuel consumption is minimized. Thus, driving at a moderate speed in direct drive or high gear can help save fuel.

Where is the spare tire of the Sylphy located?

The spare tire of the Sylphy is located under the partition in the trunk. A spare tire is a backup tire that comes into play when a car tire experiences a puncture or blowout. A full-size spare tire has the exact same specifications as the other four tires on the vehicle and can replace any tire that is temporarily or permanently unusable. A non-full-size spare tire, on the other hand, has a slightly smaller diameter and width compared to the other four tires and is only intended for temporary use. In terms of configuration, the Sylphy is equipped with dual front auxiliary airbags, side auxiliary airbags for the front seats, curtain-style auxiliary safety central locking, speed-sensitive automatic door locking, collision-sensing automatic unlocking, an LED high-mounted stop lamp, a rearview camera monitoring system, and a rear parking sensor system.
