The main functions of automotive topcoat are: 1. Protecting the vehicle from erosion by various corrosive media in the atmosphere; 2. Decorating the vehicle; 3. Identifying the type of vehicle; 4. Improving comfort and sealing, preventing noise caused by vibration. The maintenance methods for automotive topcoat include: 1. Washing the car after the engine has cooled down; 2. Reducing exposure to direct sunlight; 3. Promptly cleaning stains on the car body; 4. Rinsing with clean water after rain; 5. Applying wax or sealant. Methods to prevent paint peeling include: 1. Avoiding wiping the paint surface directly with a duster or dry cloth—rinse off dust and dirt with water first, then wipe with a clean absorbent cloth; 2. Avoiding prolonged exposure to sunlight when parking; 3. Reducing the frequency of car washes and avoiding waxing and polishing; 4. Promptly removing corrosive substances to minimize paint surface corrosion.

The primary function of automotive topcoat is to protect the vehicle's metal body from corrosion caused by external environmental factors such as rain, sunlight, and pollutants. This layer of paint acts like a protective suit for the car, extending its service life. For me, as a young commuter who drives frequently, it also makes the car look more stylish with a glossy finish and makes it easier to clean dirt when washing. Without the topcoat, the car body would age quickly, leading to costly and labor-intensive repairs. Regular waxing can further enhance protection, keeping the car looking brand new and maintaining a sense of pride when driving it out.

The primary function of automotive topcoat is to prevent rust and corrosion on the vehicle body, which is particularly crucial for our family cars. It resists the invasion of rainwater, dust, and chemical substances, protecting the metal structure from damage and extending the overall lifespan of the vehicle. Without the topcoat, the car body is prone to moisture and rust, compromising safety and reliability. In daily use, it also maintains the car's neat appearance, facilitates cleaning, and reduces maintenance hassles. Choosing a high-quality paint finish can avoid frequent repairs, save costs, and ensure the safety of family trips.

Is the Lavida's transmission CVT or AT?

The Lavida's transmission is AT. Here are the specific details: CVT Transmission: Commonly known as the continuously variable transmission, it was once widely used in many brands. Its biggest advantage is high smoothness, with almost no noticeable jerkiness. The main drawbacks are limited torque and inconvenient maintenance. Additionally, China currently lacks the capability to manufacture certain components of CVT transmissions. AT Transmission: This is the commonly referred-to automatic transmission. Generally, automatic transmissions have gears such as P, R, N, D, 2, 1, or L. The advantage of this transmission is its relatively stable technology. The main disadvantages are high cost and significant development challenges. However, as the most mature technology among automatic transmissions, the AT automatic transmission still has broad development prospects in the future.

Should the car battery be replaced when it's around 60%?

Car battery around 60% does not need to be replaced. Under normal circumstances, when the car battery shows around 50%, as long as the internal resistance is small enough to start the engine, it can temporarily not be replaced. Below are the specific details: Car battery lifespan: The designed lifespan of a car battery is 27 months. Generally, family cars are more power-efficient, and new car batteries mostly last 3-4 years. However, after the first replacement, they usually need to be replaced again in about 2 years. Methods to determine if a car battery needs replacement: Carefully observe whether there are obvious signs of bulging or deformation on both sides of the car battery. Check if there are white or green powdery substances around the battery terminals. These are oxides of the battery. High-quality or new batteries generally do not easily develop such oxides. Once they appear, it means the battery's performance has started to deteriorate.
